MCAS Air Show returns to claim spot as one of Beaufort’s favorite traditions The Lowcountry has a number of treasured annual traditions, including the Shrimp Festival, softshell crab season, the Beaufort International Film Festival, and of course, Water Festival each year in late July. But there’s no doubt that one of the biggest local favorites only makes it around on the odd-numbered years. Headlined once again by the U.S. Navy’s elite Blue Angels, the MCAS Beaufort Air Show will touch down with its 2019 version this weekend. The repeat appearances of the Blue Angels performing in their signature blue-andgold F-18 fighter jets never fail to thrill and excite the crowds flocking to the Marine Corp Air Station Beaufort. Like most military air shows, Saturday and Sunday’s event at MCAS Beaufort is free and open to the public. The entertainment value afforded to families, especially aviation enthusiasts, is one of the best values the area has to offer. On the ground, a number of new and vintage aircraft will be available for viewing and touring, including military and general aviation planes. One of the most nostalgic aircraft on display is the Douglas C-54 used in the Berlin Aircraft. During the recovery period following World War II, this aircraft provided food, water, clothing, medication and other necessities to West Berlin. The aircraft is a flying memorial

and classroom. Military acts will be well-represented with demonstrations by local F-18 Hornet and F-35B Lightning II aircraft. The U.S. SOCOM Para-Commandos Parachute Demonstration Team based in Tampa will open the show each day with full demonstrations later in the schedule. The F-22 Raptor Team from Joint Base Langley-Eustis in Virginia will round out the
P-51 aircraft respectively as the “Class of ‘45” demonstration. The two aircraft will fly in close-formation as they interact in crossing and wingtip-to-wingtip maneuvers featuring the vintage aircraft first flown nearly 75 years ago. Designed with separate missions, the warbirds also will perform solo performances to showcase the capabilities of each plane. Eight-time national aerobatic champion Rob Holland will make a rare appearance on the east coast to perform in his custom built MXSRH. The standard MXS is a very popular aircraft among aerobatic performers. Holland’s personally designed plane is an American-made masterpiece constructed entirely with carbon-fiber materials. North Carolina-based MX Aircraft has partnered with Holland to design his aircraft based on his personal specifications. Powered by a 380-horsepower Lycoming engine, this 1200-pound aircraft is capable of pulling 16 positive and negative G’s. The aircraft rolls at nearly 500 degrees per second, creating one of the most exciting air show demonstrations on the circuit. Holland’s precise and athletic style of flying has led to eight consecutive U.S. national aerobatic championships and four consecutive world 4-minute freestyle championships.
lineup of military acts. As fifth generation fighters, the F-35 and F-22 will demonstrate some of the most advanced maneuvers and capabilities in flight today. A number of civilian performers will round out the lineup of world-class air show acts. Air show legend Julie Clark will perform in her T-34A Mentor. Clark entered as one of the first and only female pilots in 1980 and will complete her 40th year as a solo aerobatic performer at the end of the 2019 air show season. Her legacy as a pioneer will be fully celebrated during her final season of air show performances. Jim Tobul and Scott Yoak will join forces in their Corsair F4-U and Mustang

Board of Education selects Rodriguez as new superintendent Frank Rodriguez a 26-year veteran school administrator from Florida, was selected Tuesday, April 16, by the Beaufort County Board of Education to be the district’s next superintendent, pending the negotiation of a contract. Rodriguez, a regional superintendent in the 193,000-student School District of Palm Beach County (Fla)., was selected over Terry Dade, a regional assistant superintendent in the 187,000-student Fairfax (Va.) County Public Schools. “I’m incredibly humbled and honored by the board’s decision,” Rodriguez said in a release. “I look forward to working closely with each board member and the communities they represent. I’m equally eager to work with our students, teachers and staff to improve outcomes and build trust within Beaufort County.” Board chair Christina Gwozdz said the selection was a difficult decision because both finalists were such accomplished educators. “Our selection process was very thorough, and we’re confident that Dr. Rodriguez will be an outstanding superintendent,” Gwozdz said. Rodriguez and Dade appeared at a public forum on Saturday, April 20, and answered questions posed by parents, students, district employees and community members. Forum attendees, of which there were around 50, completed feedback sheets, and those results were reviewed by board members prior to the final vote. Estee Williams, an educa-
tional technology coach for the Beaufort County School District, was impressed with both canFrank didates at the Rodriguez forum. “I thought they were both high quality candidates with experience and knowledge in areas that our district is looking to improve or continue our growth,” Williams said. She downplayed the light attendance at the forum, also broadcast live by The County Channel. “For teachers and parents, it was the first Saturday of spring break and announced just a little ahead of when it happened, so people may not have been able to make it in person, but as far as teachers, everyone was interested and very curious to see what the final decision would be,” Williams said.
“Dr. (Herb) Berg has been great, but also adamant that he was just temporary. All the teachers I know, myself included, are excited to get a permanent captain and get started on this new journey.” The process began with 110 applications from around the country. The search firm Hazard Young Attea and Associates selected 48 applicants with professional experiences and personal characteristics that matched a leadership profile approved by the board. That 50-page report was compiled from feedback gathered from more than 1,000 county residents – 366 who attended a series of focus groups and town hall meetings in December and 697 who responded to an online survey. HYA narrowed the 48 applications to nine it presented to the board, which decided to invite seven candidates to Beaufort for personal inter-
views on March 30. The board conducted follow-up interviews and selected Rodriguez and Dade as finalists. The finalists underwent in-depth background reviews by independent third-party investigators. Those reviews included academic credentials, personal credit reports, criminal and civil histories, and a news media and social media review before the forum. Rodriguez will replace interim Superintendent Herb Berg, who has led the district during the search process. His first official day on the job will be July 1.
Beaufort County launches revamped website Beaufort County has launched a new website – www.beaufortcountysc.gov – replacing the county’s old site, bcgov.net. A release from the county touts the new site as being mobile (touch) friendly and featuring visual improvements, an enhanced and searchable archives section and more streamlined navigation. The new site also has an upgraded public meetings calendar and news section, while maintaining access to the County’s financial transparency portal, comprehensive public meeting video center, and news
subscription area. The new domain, having an approved “.gov” site, confirms to users that it represents an official unit of government. By using internal staff to develop the website, county administration kept resource allocation inhouse, as well as the ability to make ongoing improvements as needed. Staff will no longer update the old website. The old website will direct the public to the new website. County email addresses are not affected by this transition. Please direct any questions to webmaster@bcgov.net.

Senate approves proviso to block offshore oil industrialization of state
By an overwhelming vote of 40-4 on April 17, the majority Republican South Car-
olina Senate passed a budget proviso to prohibit the use of any state funds by a state agency or local unit of government to facilitate onshore infrastructure for offshore oil. If the state House of Representatives also approves the proviso, it will be the law of the state during the 2019-20 fiscal year that starts July 1. “The bipartisan South Carolina voice of opposition to exploring and drilling for oil off our coast is now a scream,” S.C. Small Business Chamber of Commerce President/CEO Frank Knapp Jr. said in a release. “Our deeply red state is turning purple, not in partisan terms, but in our anger at the Trump Administration trying to force destruction to our beautiful ocean, marine life and local economies from seismic blasting our ocean and turning our pristine beaches into sludge from the inevitable oil leaks and spills from drilling.” The proviso was initially announced by Senator Chip Campsen, who represents approximately one-half of South Carolina’s coast, including Beaufort County.

SILVER CLUB HAPPY HOUR
Food addiction all too real, traumatic By Laura Kaponer Addiction: the state of being enslaved to a habit or practice or to something that is psychologically or physically habit-forming, such as narcotics, to such an extent that its cessation causes severe trauma. In my opinion there is no hierarchy when it comes to addiction. All addiction is painful and often traumatic to the person experiencing it. Addiction Recovery is an ongoing process, one cannot simply be “cured.” However they can retain long periods of sobriety. Addiction isn’t about simply liking something a bit too much or the occasional overindulgence; it’s about a carnal need to obtain something. From an early age I was addicted to food. The specific foods I craved don’t necessarily matter – it wasn’t fresh vegetables. What’s important here is the sense of powerlessness I had over my food, the incessant thoughts about food, planning my life around food, a hunger that was far beyond anything physical. There were definitely periods in my life where I had more of a handle on my addiction. I could use the various coping skills I had learned throughout therapy to not give in. But for me, addiction doesn’t live in a vacuum. There are so many outside factors that directly impact where I am in my recovery at any given moment. Last year, I was experiencing severe stress from my employment situation that led to a relapse in my Binge Eating Disorder. I do not blame my former employer because I
am the one who has the responsibility to maintain my health and wellness. I have countless Laura years of expeKaponer rience in professional training in order to manage my illness and it was my decision not to use any of those highly effective coping skills. Why didn’t I use my coping skills? Because giving into my addiction was easier and had instant gratification. Simply put, it felt good, and who doesn’t want to feel good when life is making them feel bad? That’s the dark road I started to walk down. It started off small because to me a cookie is never really just a cookie, it’s the gateway to the entire box of cookies. In the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders V (DSM V) which is the “bible” mental health professionals use to both diagnose and treat those with mental illnesses, Binge Eating Disorder is, in fact, an actual diagnosis all on its own. There is a huge difference in someone making poor eating choices and someone having a food addiction/eating disorder. It was so easy for those from the outside looking in to berate me about not making better food choices. DSM V explains it better than I ever could: “Recurrent episodes of binge eating. An episode of binge eating is characterized by both of the following: 1. Eating, in a discrete period of time (e.g., within any 2-hour period), an amount of food
The Last Friday of Every Month 5:00 – 6:30 PM
that is definitely larger than what most people would eat in a similar period of time under similar circumstances. 2. A sense of lack of control over eating during the episode (e.g., a feeling that one cannot stop eating or control what or how much one is eating).” There was so much shame surrounding my binge eating, and I would often go out of my way to hide what I was doing from the people in my life. I remember once, when I was married, eating a snickers in the bathroom, then burying the wrapper in the trash. There were countless times I ate myself, not only to the point of extreme discomfort, but often to physical illness. How many times did I end up on the bathroom floor at my friend's holiday party crying from the pain? This past December I had to make a plea for help, explaining I needed my freedom regarding food taken away from me because I was incapable of making the right choices for myself. I had completely given in to my addiction to the point that I did not recognize what an appropriate meal was in regards to portions or the actual food selection, in and of itself. I joined a nutritional program that had prepackaged foods with a preselected menu chosen for me. I was to forego any social occasions that involved food.

Anderson misses cut at Harbour Town

It wasn’t the week Mark Anderson dreamed of in his return to the RBC Heritage Presented by Boeing, but the Beaufort native was happy to be back on the golf course. After an opening round of 2-over 73, Anderson bounced back to shoot even par in a second round that was interrupted by a weather delay and spilled over into Saturday. Anderson missed the cut by two shots at 2-over-par in his first tournament back from an ankle injury, but the return to competition set him up for the rest of the season on the Web.com Tour, where he remains atop the season money list. The 33-year-old former South Carolina standout has earned $140,781 on the Web.com Tour this season despite playing only three events, thanks to his win at the Country Club de Bogota Championship in Colombia in February. Anderson heads back to the Web.com Tour circuit this weekend for the Dormie Network Classic at Briggs Ranch in San Antonio, Texas.
Pan stands alone after wild final round at RBC Heritage By Justin Jarrett C.T. Pan raised his arms in a triumphant V and celebrated, not surrounded by cheering throngs of well-hydrated fans, but alone on the driving range at Harbour Town Golf Links. Just minutes earlier, he had lipped out a birdie putt on the 18th green that certainly would have sealed his first PGA Tour victory. The miss left just enough of a crack through which one of the contenders still on the course might be able to slip, so Pan immediately headed to the range to prepare for a playoff that never came. Patrick Cantlay’s tight lie in the rough on 18 kept him from taking a real run at the flag, and his chip for a tying birdie didn’t come close, and Shane Lowry couldn’t cash in a miracle eagle on the last hole, leaving Pan as the last man standing on another Sunday in which the RBC Heritage Presented by Boeing champion came from well back to slip into a tartan jacket. “It was very surreal, for
sure,” Pan said. “I just didn’t envision my first win like this. I was ready for the playoff. It was so hard to convince myself that I actually had a shot at winning, so I just tried to get myself ready, get prepared for the worst outcome.” It was anyone’s title to win from the start Sunday, as 19 players began the day within four shots of the lead. Pan was one of them, just two shots behind 54-hole leader Dustin Johnson, but he was mostly an afterthought with names like Johnson, Ian Poulter, Patrick Cantlay, Matt Kuchar, and Webb Simpson still in the hunt. By the time the final pairing had played two holes, there were five players tied for the lead, but Pan was not among them. He was still two back at 8-under and even through his first four holes. A short birdie putt at the par-5 5th hole jumpstarted his round, and he added back-to-back birdies at Nos. 9 and 10 to move into serious contention. While the rest of the con-
NC duo wins Carolinas Senior FourBall at Dataw The lead changed hands several times during the final round of the Carolinas Senior Four-Ball Championship but when the dust settled Wednesday at Dataw Island Club it was Patrick Brady of Reidsville, N.C., and Steve Harwell of Mooresville, N.C. who took home the hardware. Brady and Harwell, who first met 35 years ago as roommates playing for the Guilford College Golf Team, shot a final round 6-under 66 on Dataw’s Cotton Dike Course to finish the championship at 12-under-par 204 and claim a one-shot win over a trio of teams. Dataw Island’s own Jim Dufresne teamed with Steve Dietz of St. Helena Island to finish at even par and tie for 26th to lead the local contingent.
tenders faltered one-by-one, Pan remained dialed in, sticking his approach at the par-4 12th to 7 feet for a birdie that took him to 12-under. His only hiccup was at the par5 15th, where he blocked his tee shot right into the trees and had to punch out before failing to save par from the greenside bunker. “Honestly I feel like I got lucky there,” Pan said, “because I hit four really bad shots and I walked away with a bogey only.” His response is likely the reason he is a PGA Tour winner. Pan hit his approach at the par-4 16th to 9 feet and buried the birdie putt, then saved par from the bunker at 17 and played the 18th flawlessly to fend off Kuchar, who had slipped into the clubhouse at 11-under and was waiting for Pan to slip up. “I had to make that birdie on the last. That was a thrill,” said Kuchar, who gave a fistpump after sinking his 9-foot birdie putt at No. 18. “I thought 11-under might get in a playoff.
Hats off to C.T. It was a tough hole. He played awfully steady and solid golf.” Pan was the No. 1 amateur in the world for a period in 2013 while starring at the University of Washington, where he was a four-time All-American and a finalist for the Ben Hogan Award in 2015. And he won the Mackenzie Tour’s Players Cup in just his fourth professional start, so he had the pedigree that would foreshadow success on the PGA Tour, but it hasn’t come easily. He made the cut only 14 times in 29 starts in his first full season on the PGA Tour in 2017, and he earned nearly $2 million last season but had only two top-10s, including a runner-up finish at the Wyndham Championship, where he was tied for the lead heading to the 18th hole on Sunday but pushed his tee shot out of bounds and made double bogey. “That definitely change my perception on the last couple of holes down the stretch of what I should do,” Pan said.

Lions blank JPII
Holy Trinity’s girls shut out John Paul II 3-0 on April 17 to remain undefeated. Mills Langehans scored two goals and Lydia Mahan added one for the Lions, while Mary Clanton Bozard made seven saves to record the clean sheet. The Lions (6-0-1) are off until May 1, when they host Beaufort Academy for a region matchup.

Dolphins get final tune-up before playoffs
Battery Creek went 2-1-1 against a strong field at the Palmetto Invitational over the weekend. The Dolphins started off with a 1-1 tie with Ashley Ridge, then came back for a 5-2 victory over Cane Bay in their second game. Battery Creek suffered its only loss of the tourna-
ment, 3-2 to eventual champion Fort Dorchester, before closing out the weekend with a 10-9 win over Summerville. Battery Creek was scheduled to play a doubleheader against Wade Hampton on Monday, but the Red Devils forfeited those games. The Dolphins (14-8-1) will be the No. 1 seed in the Class 3A District 8 tournament and open the double-elimination tournament at home against Loris on Thursday.
BOYS SOCCER
BA breezes past Cathedral
Beaufort Academy’s boys maintained their winning streak with a 4-1 victory over Cathedral Academy on Monday. Edward McCormick scored two goals, and Elijah Fess and Ben Trask added one apiece for the Eagles. BA (12-1, 6-0) hosts Charleston Collegiate at 6 p.m. Thursday.
Columbia native Dustin Johnson blasts a shot out of the bunker during the final round of the 51st annual RBC Heritage Presented by Boeing on Sunday at Harbour Town Golf Links. Johnson, the No. 1 player in the world, took a one-shot lead into the final round but shot 6-over-par 77 on Sunday to fade from contention. Photo by Bob Cragin/LowcoSports.com. “The last three holes I would say I played really well here, a lot of good shots just because I told myself I need to focus on the details, the little things, and just stay in present. … That's something I didn't do at Wyndham.” Pan wasn’t too thrilled about his “colorful” third round Saturday in which he made four bogeys and a double bogey along with six birdies and an eagle. He was back at Harbour Town at 9 a.m. Sunday — almost five hours ahead of his tee time — to put in some work and get dialed in.
Holy Trinity falls to JPII
Gabe Orta-Carrillo scored a hat trick to lead John Paul II’s boys to a 4-2 win over Holy Trinity on April 17. Sebastian Laverde added a goal for the Golden Warriors, while Marcello Vera had two assists and Noah Brock added one. Levi Dyer and Jacob Beach each scored a goal for the Lions, who stayed in the game thanks to 15 saves from Addison Wilson. Holy Trinity (3-4) hosts Beaufort Academy on May 1.

Beaufort Young Life’s trivia night a success More than 250 people attended the 4th annual William Trask and Holly Konoza Trivia Night fundraiser on April 6 in support of Beaufort Young Life, a non-profit organization that serves hundreds of area teens. Honoring Konoza and Trask, who founded Beaufort Young Life in 2006, this year’s event grossed more than $30,000 through ticket sales, sponsorships and a silent auction. Young Life area director Andrew Lancaster said in a release, “Trivia Night is a unique fundraiser in Beaufort. It involves fun yet challenging questions, dressing up in wild and crazy costumes and of course, lots of laughter.” Trivia Night featured 24 themed teams, who enjoyed friendly, yet intense competition among their friends and neighbors. This event gives adults the opportunity to expe-
rience what teens enjoy at our weekly meetings and camps – fun, laughter, and genuine relationships. The silent auction included a vast array of items given by generous Young Life supporters – vacation homes and other family events, gift certificates to restaurants and businesses, gift baskets, jewelry, dock parties, golf foursomes, fishing charters, hunting events and even a kayak. Lancaster is delighted by the support from the Beaufort community. “We are so grateful for everyone who sponsored, participated, donated, and helped this event be a success. It is because of them that we can continue to impact the lives of teens in Beaufort,” Lancaster said. “Young Life activities reach middle school students, high school students, and teen moms in Beaufort, with nearly
250 participating on a weekly basis.” Title sponsors for the event were Moe's Southwest Grill and Durham Dental. Corporate sponsors included Chick-Fil-A, Southern Palmetto Landscaping, Pendarvis Law, Charleston ENT, Southern Tree Service, Ameris Bank, Carolina Sportscare, Clark Troutman Group Merrill Lynch Wealth Management, It’s Retail Therapy, Lowcountry Real Estate, Collins Pest Control, Ribaut Medical Partners, Aesthetic Dentistry, Where’d Ya Get That, Keith's Plumbing, Modern Jewelers, Palms on Parkway, Carpet One and Gilbert Law.

Historic Beaufort Foundation gives out highest honors Historic Beaufort Foundation’s highest honors were awarded recently to individuals who have contributed to the preservation and promotion of Beaufort County’s historic resources. Master craftsman Rick Wightman, longtime community activist Maxine Lutz and homeowners Catherine and Wallace Scarborough and their team, architect Bill Chambers and contractors Powell Brothers Construction Inc., were recognized by the foundation. Wightman received the Howard E. Danner Award for Lifetime Achievement in historic preservation for his
work to preserve tabby ruins throughout the Lowcountry. Wightman has developed techniques for preserving historic tabby and reproducing it. He was also recognized for his skills reproducing buildings and furnishings at AuldBrass Plantation, the Frank Lloyd Wright home in northern Beaufort County. The Danner Award is named after the founder of the Committee to Save the Lafayette Building (Verdier House) in 1945 and HBF in 1965. The Wyatt B. Pringle, Sr. Outstanding Service to Historic Beaufort Foundation
was given to Lutz who recently retired after 21 years as an HBF employee, the last six as executive director. Historic Preservation Honor Awards which recognize exemplary projects in restoration, additions and adaptive reuse were given to the Scarboroughs, Chambers and Brian and Eric Powell for a sympathetic addition at the ca. 1790 Robert Means House at 1207 Bay Street. The team successfully removed modern bathrooms and kitchen from the footprint of the historic house and created an addition that serves modern uses.

Brays Island hosting AMIkids croquet fundraiser Croquet players from across the Lowcountry will converge at Brays Island on May 4 to help AMIkids Beaufort raise money to support its residential education and treatment program for boys who made bad choices. AMIkids Beaufort is a residential facility in Dale that provides education and numerous hands-on educational opportunities, treatment and behavior modification for troubled boys. Though a part of a national organization, AMIkids Beaufort is locally governed. For 27 years, the Croquet Picnic has been the primary means of raising local money to help the program succeed. That success pays off: Young men who complete AMIkids typically don’t run afoul of the law, and many leave the program with job training such as nationally-recognized certificates in welding and food service. “These young men are with AMIkids because they want a second chance at life,” AMIkids Beaufort chairman John Harris said in a release. “Our croquet picnic at Brays Island is our main way
For 27 years, the Croquet Picnic at Brays Island has been the primary means of raising local money to help the AMIkids Beaufort program succeed. to provide what’s needed for our local program. The people are very generous to help us, and Brays Island has been such a gracious host to share their property with us year after year.” Every year, Brays Island and its owners donate the golf course practice range tee in which eight 30-by40-foot croquet courts are groomed to the finest playing conditions for the event, Harris said. “We really consider Brays Island and its residents to be our partners. We couldn’t do this without them, and it’s such a spectacular setting for croquet,” Harris said.
The Croquet Picnic will be held from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Brays Island off U.S. Highway 17 in Sheldon. A Captain’s Party for all participants will be held the evening of May 3 at a waterfront home in Beaufort’s Spanish Point. Teams of four to eight people compete in the friendly croquet tournament. While some experienced teams participate, most teams are there just for fun. For more information or to sign up a croquet team, call Dr. Mike Harris at 843524-3770 or Mike Ingram at 843-846-3149.

Senator Hollings: A portrait of power wielded with humility By Bill Rauch As the tributes roll in for South Carolina’s late U.S. Senator, Ernest F. (Fritz) Hollings, I am reminded of the steady, businesslike manner with which the Senator helped Beaufort 20 years ago. Those were different times. In 1998 as Beaufort’s Mayor pro tem I could talk to the offices of both Hollings’ and Senator Strom Thurmond, and I did regularly. Thurmond was a Bill R e p u b l i c a n Rauch and Hollings was a Democrat. The notion is almost unimaginable in today’s politically polarized environment. During the Base Realignment and Closure Commission (BRAC) rounds of 1991, 1993, and 1995 Beaufort’s leadership worked regularly with Senator Thurmond, who was then the senior member and former chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, to ensure the future of MCAS Beaufort and the MCRD Parris Island. But in 1998 we faced a problem that posed another challenge to the business community.
Here’s the story. In those days, sitting in the little shack atop the Woods Memorial Bridge from which the bridge is operated was a bridge operator named Malcolm McGregor. Bridge operators are employees of the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT), known in 1998 as the Highway Commission. McGregor was a letter-writer whose letters appeared regularly in the papers, and from them, it became clear he was a better friend to the sailing community than he was to the rest of us who from time to time had reason to drive our cars over the Woods Bridge to and from Lady’s Island. Then, standard operating procedure was that the bridge could be opened for sailboats on the hour, at 20 minutes past the hour and at 40 minutes past the hour. The bridge could then, as it can now, be opened at any time for barges. But most of the bridge openings were, then as they are today, for pleasure boats, mostly sailboats. What do people who have things to do do when they get stuck at the bridge while one guy skippering one sailboat under power passes slowly against the tide through
the opened bridge? They look at their watches. Sitting regularly in the line of traffic Ernest at the bridge, Hollings looking at my watch and knowing the schedule, it became apparent to me that the bridge operators were swinging the bridge pretty much any time they felt like it. What do Mayor pro tems do when they think something’s amiss? They tell the city manager. John McDonough, a cando guy and one of the city’s great city managers, was the manager at the time. He said, “Well, I’ll check it out,” and the next day he climbed up the ladder to the bridge operator’s shack to visit with the operator on duty, who happened to be Malcolm McGregor. “Well I got to the bottom of it,” McDonough reported the next day. “There were three clocks up there: one on the wall, one on the desk and Malcolm’s wristwatch, and all three had different times. They were altogether nine minutes apart. So I suggested to Malcolm that he synchronize the clocks to the correct
...Hollings being who we knew he was — there was never any thought he might not keep his word.
time which he did while I was there. So maybe that will fix things.” Maybe. But it didn’t. So the next step was to bring in the big guns: Senator Hollings who was then the ranking member on the Interior and Environment Subcommittee of the all-powerful Senate Appropriations Committee, the subcommittee that then had oversight over the U.S. Coast Guard’s budget. The Coast Guard is the federal agency with exclusive control over Intracoastal Waterway bridge opening times. In discussions with Hollings’ staff it was determined what opening times for any Intracoastal Waterway bridge in South Carolina were the most generous to the motorist: every hour on the hour and on the half-hour with several hours off to protect the motorist during the morning and afternoon rush hours. Then we asked the Senator to get us those times. The Senator was coming to Beaufort for Water Festival, and he suggested a meeting.
The meeting was in my office. I invited several prominent members of the downtown business community. Duncan Fordham, who had Fordham Hardware right there at the foot of the bridge, Tony Royal from Bay Street Outfitters and several others were there. The gathering was very good-natured, low key and business-like. The Senator was running for re-election in the fall. He didn’t mention that. We all knew it, and he knew we knew it. After the formalities the Senator took charge of the meeting and went around the room soliciting statements from the participants. Everyone said the same thing: “What we have now isn’t working. It’s like no schedule at all. You never know when they’re going to open the bridge. We need the hour and half hour schedule.” Then the Senator said, “I’ll get it changed, but it won’t be until next January because that’s when the Coast Guard comes to me for their budget, and as a part of that process
they ask if I have any issues, and I will raise these bridge opening hours, and they will change them.” That was it. We all thanked him. He thanked us for alerting him to the problem, and — Fritz Hollings being who we knew he was — there was never any thought he might not keep his word. Sure enough, the Senator won re-election handily in November, and the next February, a notice appeared in the Federal Register that the Woods Memorial Bridge opening hours had been changed to the hour and half hour with two hours off weekday mornings and evenings to protect the motorist at the rush hours schedule. No fanfare, no press releases, no speeches, no ribbons cut. No bells rung nor whistles blown. Not even a phone call. Just done. And that’s the way it’s been ever since. Thanks Senator.

I don’t remember the wreck, only the recovery By Scott Graber It is Saturday, early, and I’ve got Lavazza's Gran Selezione and the Wall Street Journal. Today’s Journal tells us that Britain has, again, rejected Theresa May’s exit plan. But I do not linger long on the front page; rather I turn to a section called ‘Review’ where one finds an essay on cremation. This piece — featuring a lengthy discussion on container options — leads me back to 1966, when I was involved in an automobile wreck. The injuries suffered in that accident very nearly presented my parents with these unhappy options. I was with a classmate, Ken Tucker, and we were on our way to William and Mary for a rendezvous with two coeds. I don’t remember much
about the wreck itself. However I do remember waking up on the highway and then crawling into the median of I-95. Ken had not been ejected, and he crawled out Scott of the overGraber turned Corvair. Together way lay in the median watching a comet streak through the nighttime sky. The Ikeya-Seki Comet had been discovered by Kaoru Ikeya and Tsutomu Seki earlier that month, but it could not be seen in Charleston where we were students at The Citadel. As we lay in the median, waiting for the ambulance, we spoke of this comet and our great good luck in seeing it.
Later we were transported to the emergency room in Emporia, Va., where further work was done on my skull, clavicle, sternum and spleen. Later that same night my parents were told by the young surgeon that I would not survive the night. But I did survive, and more whole-body restoration took place at the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond. And it was there — several days later — where I was reunited with my William and Mary girlfriend, who seemed genuinely happy that she would not be called upon to deliver my eulogy. It was also there, on the 14th floor, where I was given a continuing course of Demerol — a pain-masking drug that, apparently, made me say things I wouldn’t have ordinarily said.
To this day I do not know exactly what I said. I do not have a transcript of those late night remarks with my then girlfriend. But after three or four visits, I sensed our long-distance romance was over. With her departure, I had an opportunity to examine my life without distractions — especially a college career that had been disappointing. Yes, by that time I had encountered the inspirational Larry Moreland and his course on Constitutional Law, but I had acquired no rank. One must understand that getting promoted, getting stripes on one’s sleeve at The Citadel was partly based on peer approval. And it was obvious that my classmates had little regard for my leadership skills. I was mostly known for
elaborate practical jokes that usually involved fish heads and ketchup mixed with an “accelerant,” usually cherry bombs. As I lay in my hospital bed, I wondered if my classmates really liked me. If they did, why didn’t I have any rank? Maybe it was time to leave the military school. But then 20 of my classmates from India Company crashed into my room. Apparently they had just caravanned the 6-hour, 400-mile trip from Charleston to Richmond. At first there was male banter: “I actually think the skull surgery has improved your Quasimodo-like looks. You’re not going to frighten the children in Charleston anymore.” Then, an hour later, as they were heading for the parking lot and a long slog back to
Charleston, my roommate stopped, leaned over my bed and said, “If you miss much more time you won’t graduate with our class. And we want you on the stage with us when we graduate. We’ve arranged for you to live at the college infirmary.” I think these last three sentences motivated me, and my recovery, more than anything I’d heard from my nurses or the surgeons who had heroically worked on my skull. Suddenly, in spite of the Demerol, I felt a yearning for these young men and for the rigid, rule-bound life in the barracks. And within a week I was on my way to Richmond’s airport and a short flight back home. Scott Graber is a lawyer, novelist, veteran columnist and longtime resident of Port Royal.

public’s interest in Naval Aviation. The F6F Hellcats were chosen and then in 1949 the first jets were used. The F95-2 Panther had a maximum speed around 575 mph compared to the Hellcat, which had a maximum speed of only 379 mph. Since 1986, the Blue Angels have been using the F/A-18 Hornets, which have a top speed of Mach 1.8! Translated, that means up to 1,190 miles per hour. Admiral Nimitz, who died in 1966, would have been very impressed. As for you history buffs, you might want to check
out the Blue Angels website https://www.blueangels. navy.mil/. It has lots of information. So, hopefully, the weather will be good for the air show, but regardless, the show goes on rain or shine. You can still see numerous exhibits at the Marine Air Corp Station and there is also a Kid’s Fun Zone. As for me, even though my favorite part is still seeing the Blue Angels fly, I am hoping for a day out boating, eating a picnic lunch, and watching all the air show. Now it really feels like home.
Now Beaufort feels like home
The Calendar in my kitchen drawer has many of the events and appointments we have planned for 2019. When I looked at this month’s calendar it said “April 27, 2019 – BLUE ANGELs.” I had to stop for a minute and look at it again. That’s not right, the Blue Angels fly in May, at the United States Naval Academy Graduation in Annapolis, not April. Then I saw the flyer under the calendar. The Marine Air Corp Station Air Show starts on April 27, 2019. My Blue Angels will be back here in Beaufort. For me, there is a nostalgia

FOOD LUNCH BUNCH
Nothing standard about Berto’s By Margaret Evans It was a gorgeous day in early spring when the Lunch Bunch headed to Habersham to check out Berto’s Tex-Mex Grill. Owner Norberto Lopez told us they’d just celebrated their 10th anniversary at that location, an impressive milestone for any restaurant. Spirits were high as we settled into the cozy establishment, with its beautiful Equipale furniture, hand-crafted in Mexico. Outside, a shady courtyard beckoned, but it was still a bit chilly, so we took a rain check. Before we’d even glanced at our menus, Betty had ordered guacamole for the table. Norberto made it for us right there on the spot. Hope said it was the best she’d ever tasted. Nobody disagreed, and with the zesty salsa and crispy chips we’d already been served, our feast was off to a fabulous start. Several in our group lamented that this was Lunch Bunch, not Supper Club, as the house margaritas were calling our name. But we
Pastor Taco & Cheese Enchilada all had to work later, so we behaved as professionals. Betty ordered the Grand Burrito, then changed her mind and went with the Vegetarian Quesadilla on a whim. “I never order quesadillas,” she said. “But I’m so glad I did. This is absolutely delicious!”
Taco Salad with Grilled Chicken
Hope chose the Taco Salad with Chicken and was equally happy with her selection. “This taco salad is different,” she raved. “It’s not standard. Not basic.” She cited the black beans, particularly flavorful, and the chicken, seasoned to perfection.
“And it’s grilled, not shredded!” she added with delight. When Hope finished her salad, we all took turns nibbling on the crunchy bowl. Yum! I had the Tacos Mexicanos and after pondering a long list of choices, I decided on the
Fish Tacos
fish. Oh, how I love fish tacos, and these did not disappoint. Berto’s makes its soft corn tortillas by hand, and you can taste the difference. Wrapped up with cilantro, onions, tomatillo salsa, and flaky white fish, these are some of the tastiest tacos you’ll find in the Lowcountry. Next we come to Jeff. A native Californian and avid traveler, he considers himself a Mexican food aficionado. In short, it’s his favorite and he’s tried it almost everywhere. Jeff ordered the No. 3 Lunch Combo, which included a taco, an enchilada, and rice. We watched him dig in with baited breath. Would the No. 3 pass the Jeff Test? With flying colors. Jeff was especially emotional about his “al pastor tacos,” which are tacos with spit-grilled pork. He enthusiastically cleaned his whole plate and in the end, proclaimed his lunch “as good as any Mexican food I’ve had anywhere. Including Mexico.” We all agreed if we had to choose one word to represent
Berto’s, that word would be “fresh.” Over and over we were struck by the freshness of the ingredients – something you just can’t fake. As we finished our meal, we browsed the menu’s list of House Specialties and vowed to come back soon at a more festive hour, still thinking wistfully of those margaritas. I would be remiss if I failed to mention our server, the lovely Aurora Lopez, daughter of Norberto. She was bright and cheerful, informative and competent – everything you want in a server and nothing you don’t. Together with her father, she made us feel welcome and eager to return. Thank you. Here’s to another 10 years!
If you go... Berto’s Tex-Mex Grill is located at 9 Market Street in Habersham and is open Monday-Thursday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Friday-Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. For more information, call 843-644-1925.

WINE & DINE
The real deal: Clearing up Chablis By Celia Strong Chablis is one of those wine words that can have several meanings. Hopefully, after you read this column, some of the confusion will be cleared up. To begin, the most common use of Chablis is to mean any white wine. Usually not specific to any one grape variety. And Celia not even limit- Strong ed to “vitis vinifera” grapes. For instance, “Brand X” Chablis from California is usually made with about 60 percent Thompson seedless grapes. We eat those all the time. By contrast, in France, where the name Chablis comes from, its meaning changes completely.
Chablis is a town, located in northern central France, whose vineyards produce wines from 100 percent Chardonnay. Chablis is the most northern town in the Burgundy region, but there is a 60-mile area between the main part of the region, to the south, and this town. Chablis is an official AOC – appellation d'origine contrôlée or protected desgnation of origin – established in 1938, with several tiers of wines. Petit Chablis is the lesser appellation; Chablis is the most general, regional wine; Chablis Premier Cru, a definite step up in quality where the wines come from 40 designated specific villages in the Chablis sub-region; and finally, Chablis Grand Cru are wines limited to grapes from the seven best villages.
Of course, prices increase as the AOC category gets better. Joseph Drouhin is a Burgundy grower and producer dating back to 1880. Jospeh was actually from Chablis, but moved south into the town of Beaune (still in the Burgundy region) where much of the region’s wine industry was based at the time. His descendants still own and run the company and follow guidelines for superior wines that he set. They own a vineyard called Moulin de Vaudin in Chablis. The 18th century watermill of Vaudon. They produce a Chablis that bears both the family name and the mill name. Good news is these grapes are excellent quality because they grow very close to Grand Cru vineyards. Bad news, there are not always enough grown,
and the Drouhin Vaudon Chablis is limited production. So limited that some years none is made. The soil in the Vaudon vineyards is Kimmeridgian limestone. It’s sort of a white mortar that is full of tiny marine fossils that, hundreds of millions of years ago, all sank to the bottom of the ocean and mingled together. This specific soil is part of what makes Chardonnay wines from Chablis and other sites in Burgundy have their unique flavors. The grapes for Vaudon Chablis are grown with traditional vineyard pruning and ploughing. They are hand-picked and very gently pressed. An old Drouhin tradition that augments the wine’s flavors and textures dictates that the last of the juice from the
crush is not used. The wine is aged in used French oak barrels for 12 months before bottling. The finished wine is a pale gold color with hints of green around its edges. It has fresh aromas of lemons and grapefruits, subtle green apples, ferns, and spices like coriander. It is medium- to full-bodied on the palate, dry, crisp and smooth. And, it has a long, minerally finish. This wine is meant to age up to seven years. At which point its aromas and flavors expand. Stewed lemons. Limes. Lychee nuts. Butter. Baked apples. Dried flowers. Marzipan. Chalk notes. More herbs that include tarragon and bay leaf. And rich cream. A very classic Chablis profile.
Also, as it ages, the crisp acidity mellows a bit, which adds more roundness to its mouthfeel. The current vintage, 2016, has had several years in its bottles before it got here. So part of this aging is already accomplished. Vaudon Chablis pairs well with any cream-based sauce or casserole, poultry, seafood, veal, double and triple crème cheeses, like Brie. And mustard sauces, of course. Dijon, where great mustard is made is in the Burgundy region. So, of course, Burgundy wines pair extremely well with mustard. I hope the original wine meaning for “Chablis” is clarified. It’s real meaning? All that remains is the tasting and drinking. Enjoy. Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island.

Christ Is Risen! Our greatest reason for joy Good Friday was a disaster. Earlier in the week, all had been going as the apostles expected. As Jesus entered Jerusalem for the Passover celebrations, the crowds had cheered him as a king: “Hosanna to the Son of David!” (Matt 21:9) But now everything was turned upside down. Jesus had been arrested and executed, and they had abandoned their friend in his time of need. Their hearts were filled with grief, shame, and doubt. Was Jesus not who he claimed to be? He had claimed to be divine, and he had worked many miracles to support this claim: casting out demons, healing the sick, and even raising the dead! But now he had been crucified on a hill outside of the city, the mocking inscription “King of the Jews” above his head. Had they been wrong about him? Had their faith in him been misplaced?
Everything changed on Sunday. Terrified of being arrested, the apostles had been hiding behind locked doors. We can imagine their astonishment when, on Sunday afternoon, Jesus suddenly appeared in the room with them! He was no longer dead; he was alive! He spoke to them with love and encouragement. He reassured them that he was real, not a ghost: “Look at my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me and see, because a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you see I have.” (Luke 24:39) For forty days, Jesus appeared often in this way and prepared his followers for their coming mission. The apostles rejoiced! Their sorrow had turned into the greatest joy! And almost two thousand years later, the resurrection of Jesus is still our greatest reason for joy. It means that Jesus really is who he claimed to be! He is not a lunatic, nor a liar, but truly the Lord. Everything he taught and revealed is true. God is real; heaven exists; eternal joy is possible. Christ’s victory is our victory! The resurrection of Jesus means that the crucifixion was not his defeat, but actually his moment of victory! Jesus has conquered sin and death. United with Christ, we too can share in the glory of his resurrection; death will not have the last word in our lives! Even in moments of sorrow and hardship, we too can exclaim with joy, “O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting? ...Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!” (1 Cor 15: 55-57)
