ELECTION 2020
Yang’s message popular enough to take it outside By Mike McCombs There were nearly 100 people packed into the Grand Army of the Republic Hall on Thursday night and Andrew Yang wasn’t even there, yet. As another 40 to 50 spectators gathered outside, it became increasingly clear that when Yang did arrive to speak at the North of the Broad Democratic Club’s monthly meeting, he wouldn’t be speaking inside.
Recent annexation requests to ‘upzone’ may signal things to come for Beaufort County By Mindy Lucas Janet Mulcahy still remembers how she felt when land along Sam’s Point Road was clear-cut for the 40-acre Oyster Bluff residential development near her Lady’s Island home. Having moved to the island the year before to take care of her aging parents, Mulcahy was shocked at the sudden growth happening all around them. Land had already been cleared to make way for a new Publix and shopping plaza, which opened in 2014, then came the Oyster Bluff development in 2016, followed by a Walmart that same year – all within a few miles of the family’s home. So when requests to annex and rezone two properties on either side of Sam’s Point Road came before the city of Beaufort in July, it was more than she could bear. “What is happening to our island?” an impassioned Mulcahy asked as she stood before members of the Beaufort-Port Royal Metropolitan Planning Commission on July 29. “It’s become the epicenter of let’s do everything.” Hardly alone in her outrage, Mulcahy was joined by about a dozen other residents who voiced similar concerns at the meeting and were applauded by many more in attendance. Ultimately, the commission voted to approve the two requests for annexation but paired back their accompanying zonings in favor of less density. The final decision rests with Beaufort’s city council which will take up the issue at its Aug. 27 meeting. Up-zoning and jurisdiction shopping Such requests are troubling for area residents and critics of unfettered development who say annexation and “up-zoning” is being used by developers as a tactic for circumventing an area’s current zoning restrictions in favor

When he did arrive, he was greeted to a rock starlike reaction before gathering his supporters into a semicircle in the courtyard outside the building to pass along his message. The good-natured Yang talked and joked his way through his life experiences that led him to the point where he is now, a presidential candidate who never expected to be a presidential candidate. “I’m not a career politi-
cian, I’m a career problem solver,” Yang said. “I never imagined I’d run for president.” Yang believes in, as he calls it, “trickle up” economics. Pointing out that the “trickle down” version championed by Ronald Reagan and most Republicans since hasn’t worked for the middle class, Yang espoused his signature

Mayor Pete packs in a crowd at Whale Branch Middle Buttigieg makes his case to Lowcountry voters
By Mike McCombs Sally Hannock of Coosaw was one of the 600 or so people who came out Saturday to Whale Branch Middle School to hear
South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg make his case to Lowcountry voters why he should be the Democrats’ choice to unseat Donald Trump as U.S.
President in 2020. A Massachusetts native who moved to Beaufort two years ago, Hannock lists Buttigieg and Kamala Harris among her
favorites so far, but she had been desperate to see Mayor Pete for the first time. “He’s smart and calm and clear,” Hannock said.
“I just want to hear him. Anything he says has to be better than Trump. But

S.C. Attorney General gives address at Beaufort Academy convocation By Mindy Lucas South Carolina’s top prosecutor visited a Lowcountry private school recently to talk to students on their first day back about a range of topics. Alan Wilson was the guest speaker at Beaufort Academy’s traditional first-day convocation on Monday, Aug. 19. Speaking to an assembly of about 170 students, from 5th through 12th grade, Wilson touched on themes of commitment, leadership and character. “Never be afraid to surround yourself with people who are better than you,” said Wilson recalling how, at age 37, he be-

privileges, but service. “As a leader, it’s not your job to be the best. You have to humble yourself to learn from others,” he said. Wilson also talked about human trafficking and the dangers of the Internet, two topics his office is leading the charge on combating in South Carolina through its affiliation with the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. The first day back for many of the students was also bitter sweet, said Lisa Gallagher, the school’s director of communications, after the death of classmate Anna

S.C. AG Wilson suing opioid makers
S.C. Attorney General Alan Wilson announced Thursday, Aug. 15 that he has filed a lawsuit against three major opioid distributors for
their part in the opioid crisis. This is the second phase of his deliberate approach to hold additional companies accountable for their role in fueling the epidemic. In his complaint, the Attorney General alleges Cardinal, McKesson, and AmerisourceBergen violated the S.C. Unfair Trade Practices Act and created a public nuisance, and seeks injunctive relief and civil penalties. The Attorney General previously filed suit on August 15, 2017 against opioid manufacturer Purdue Pharma L.P., Purdue Pharma, Inc., and the Purdue Frederick Company. “This lawsuit seeks to hold these companies responsible for their part in the opioid crisis,” Wilson said. “These distributors flooded the State with dangerously addictive drugs, devastating families across South Carolina.” Opioid distributors, which purchase the drugs from manufacturers and sell and deliver them to pharmacies, have the legal duty of ensuring that all prescription medications are distributed properly and are not diverted for illegal use. Under S.C. and federal law, these companies must monitor, investigate, report and refuse to ship suspicious orders of opioids. Until recently, these defendants made almost no effort to do so, even shipping orders that were deemed suspicious.
SCDNR board member honored
At an annual dinner for the S.C. Hunters and Land Owners for the Hungry, S.C. Department of Natural Resources board member Duane Swygert was presented the “Man of the Year” award for his outstanding service. “Duane has been instrumental in the expansion of S.C. Hunters for the Hungry’s statewide expansion efforts,” a news release from the organization said. The S.C. Hunters and Land Owners for the Hungry was established
in 2004 as a 501c3 nonprofit organization. It was started by a group of hunters that wanted to give back to their community. Since its start, more than 500,000 pounds of harvested meat have been donated to those in food-insecure communities. The organization supports 150 families on a monthly basis. Hunters or processors who are interested in donating can find more information at schuntersforthehungry. com.
SC’s Parrish 2019 State Tourism Director of the Year
Duane Parrish of the S.C. Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism has been named national State Tourism Director of the Year for 2019. Parrish was announced as the honoree before more than 1,000 destination marketing professionals at the U.S. Travel Association's annual Educational Seminar for Tourism Organizations (ESTO) conference in Austin, Texas. U.S. Travel's National Council of State Tourism Directors votes on the award annually ahead of ESTO. "Duane Parrish has taken the South Carolina tourism industry to new levels of success," S.C. Governor Henry McMaster said in a release. "Under his leadership, tourism has grown by more than 50 percent, becoming a $22.6 billion industry and employing one out of every 10 South Carolinians. Nobody is more deserving of this prestigious award than Duane, and we are proud that his peers have recognized him for his leadership and success." Just a few weeks ago, the S.C. State Park Service announced record-setting revenue for the second year in a row, bringing in about $34 million. Ten years ago, the state park service was only able to cover 73 percent of its expenses and now covers 100 percent of its operational costs.

AMIkids Beaufort students help with coastal research project for SCDNR Five students from AMIkids Beaufort served as crew members with the Fishery Research Team on the Floating Classroom Research Vessel Orion in mid-August. The young men served as crew with Captain Gene Clark and First Mate Jay Marshall on the Orion. They spent the day conducting experiments, catching fish and recording data to be shared with the S.C. Department of Natural Resources. The research is part of a larger S.C. effort to help with conservation efforts. “This type of experience helps our young men get a better understanding of the coastal Lowcountry and to understand their role in conservation,” AMIkids Beaufort Board of Trustees chairman John Harris said in a release. “It’s also part of our local and national charter, as the non-profit Association of Marine Institutes.”
AMIkids Beaufort is a residential facility in Dale that provides not only education but numerous hands-on educational opportunities, treatment and behavior modification. AMIkids partners with community service projects throughout Beaufort County. The program serves young men assigned to the facility through the S.C. Department of Juvenile Justice, and students work toward their high school equivalency diplomas. For the past six years, the young men also have been
able to earn nationally-recognized welding and food service certificates to help them with job skills. On Aug. 10, the five AMIkids Beaufort students safely navigated Clark’s boat to the local research sites and, after anchoring, they measured the environmental conditions including ambient air temperature, water temperature, barometric pressure, tide flow and water depth, Clark said. They used a Secchi disk to measure the water turbidity and a salinity refractometer
to measure the salinity and specific gravity. After recording the data they fished the site to discover the fish types, sizes, and numbers inhabiting the area. The AMIkids students and crew caught and released 27 fin fish including croakers, Southern kingfish, and an Atlantic Sharpnose shark. Three of the Southern kingfish were tagged prior to release. “It’s a special opportunity for our young men, and it wouldn’t be possible without the good work and service of Captain Clark and Jay Marshall,” AMIkids Beaufort executive director Matt Kingdom said. “When these young men graduate from our program and return to their homes and move ahead to brighter futures, this is an experience they will carry with them.” To learn more about AMIkids Beaufort, visit www. amikidsbeaufort.org.

policy, the “Freedom Dividend.” The Freedom Dividend is a form of Universal Basic Income (UBI), where all Americans 18 and older would receive $1,000 a month that would not be taxed. While the idea seems radical, Yang pointed out that the United States has come close to adopting similar policies several times in the past, including twice during the early 1970s when such a plan actually passed the House of Representatives. “The fun thing about this campaign is there is a bit of a process where you’re digging into the ideas and you’re getting a sense of the history and the background and the rationale,” Yang said, “and I think more and more Americans are catching on to the idea that it’s not a radical idea, that it’s a deeply American idea that’s been with us for decades, maybe centuries. As more and more Americans open their eyes to that fact, then you’ll see the campaign grow and grow.” Yang believes the UBI will soften the blow of an increasingly difficult U.S. labor landscape as a result of

of one that allows for denser housing or commercial development. What’s more, they say the requests to allow for denser zoning flies in the face of the recently adopted Lady’s Island Plan created to provide guidelines for growth and development on the island. “The Sea Island Corridor Coalition does not object to applications for annexation. We bristle a bit at the use of annexation for jurisdiction shopping,” said Chuck Newton at the July 29 meeting. Along with the Coastal Conservation League, the coalition led the effort to create the Lady’s Island Plan after the Walmart and Oyster Bluff projects caused public outcry. The two bids for annexation taken up at the July 29 meeting were the first two “relevant applications” to come up since the Lady’s Island Plan was adopted in April, Newton said. The coalition did not have an objection to the zoning requested for a collection of properties along Williams Street and Mayfair Court totaling 6.9 acres since it was similar to the current zoning of adjacent properties. However, the group had “serious concerns” with the annexing and rezoning of the other property, a 20-acre parcel at 44 and 50 Miller Drive East, Newton said at the meeting. The property is “bounded on the east by marshes and water, and by the south by athletic fields and Lady’s Island Middle School. A large pond dominates the westerly half of the parcel. On the southwest and on the west and on the north are long-standing and fully developed residential neighborhoods,” he said. “For all intents and purposes, this parcel is an

Yet, he’s optimistic that his camaign can make up the necessary
ground before the primaries. “One great thing is that our data shows that we are less well known in South Carolina, than not just the other early states but in America,” Yang said. “So the fact that we’re as competitive as we are when

island in the middle of a residential neighborhood.” The usual process Exacerbating the problem is the fact that annexation and rezoning are often inextricably linked. When a property owner asks to be annexed into a city, that city or municipality usually has to consider what the new zoning will be. “That is not an unusual process for cities across the state to follow,” said Scott Slatton, legislative and public policy advocate for the Municipal Association of South Carolina. Though how you take up the process is not spelled out in the law, he said. “It really is up to the city, and how you handle that process depends on the reaction you’re getting from residents, the public, property owners and also how much time and study you have to put into it,” he said. The owner of the Miller Drive East property requested a change in zoning – from the county’s T3-HN to the city’s T4-N – which would have allowed for a mix of urban residential units and limited commercial development. More specifically, the classification includes a “wide range of building types including, but not limited to, apartment buildings, mixeduse buildings, row-homes, duplexes, corner stores and both attached and detached single-family homes,” according to the Beaufort code. While Newton said it was true that no one knew what the property owner had in mind for the parcels, which is currently up for sale, it was “unlikely” she was applying for annexation and re-zoning if the intent was to build something similar to the surrounding homes already there. “Those are already permitted under the current zoning,” he said. However, Michael Mark, a commercial real estate broker who represented
the property owner at the meeting, disagrees. Mark said a change in zoning was needed for the “flexibility” it offers in building homes on the site. As defined by the Lady’s Island Plan, the current property is in the “Village” which is described by the plan as being characteristically a mixed-use space. “We need the flexibility to make bigger lots and smaller lots,” he said. “If you tell me that every lot has to be a 100 by 150-foot lot or whatever size, you’re asking me to put a suburban neighborhood in the village neighborhood,” he said. While Mark said he could not say “right now” what the owner or a potential buyer
island and what these recent applications for annexation mean. “To me it’s a matter of clear intent,” said Steve Holland, who lives “around the corner” from the Williams Street and Mayfair Court properties and less than a mile from the Miller Drive East property. A Lady’s Island resident for 22 years, Holland said requests for annexation and zoning that allow for greater density signals a developer is interested in the land. “It’s as plain as the nose on your face,” he said by phone recently. “I think we are in the midst of watching how one circumvents the Lady’s Island Plan.” Holland, who attended many of the early community
Drive East property, said he was concerned that potential developers are bypassing the process for disclosing their plans to the community. “We don’t want to stop development … but my concerns are with rezoning and what we’re doing to that community,” he said at the meeting. “Once it’s rezoned, it’s out of our hands and they don’t have to come in front of the community preservation committee, they can go straight to city council,” he said. “… and we’re out of the picture and all of a sudden we have 200 apartments on Lady’s Island.” Semmler said he encouraged whoever is interested in the Miller Drive East property to come before the community preservation committee. “…And present their project and hear what the citizens say about it,” he said. “And that wasn’t done. It was bypassed completely.” Why annexation? So why consider annexation at all? Is there an upside to it? For municipalities, annexation is a way to expand its tax base and increase the services it’s able to offer its citizens, according to the Municipal Association of South Carolina. Favorable annexation can also attract jobs and businesses. A Charleston recycling company that recently announced the move of its manufacturing arm to Northern Beaufort County cited annexation as one of the reasons it was able to take over the building it plans to renovate there, vacated by another manufacturer. The company, Glass WRX SC, asked that the 37-acre site be annexed so it could have access to city services and more favorable tax incentives, said CEO Chris Fisher. The company plans to hire between 45 to 50 workers over the next two years. However, critics of annexation say while the city may gain, those in the county are the ones who often lose. “Annexation for the city does mean increased revenue, and our contention is, and again we’re not opposed to annexation per se, but often that is their primary criteria for considering these things,” said Newton when reached later by phone. Another part of the Lady’s Island Plan aims to address how far the city can expand its reach. The plan aims to limit the footprint of urban and suburban growth by reducing
the existing growth boundaries, because the more the city annexes the more it can continue to expand its reach since the question to annex a property often comes down to what is adjacent to it, Newton said. “…and because the city’s focus is on economic development, smart development and retention of moderate zoning often gets shortshrifted,” he said. So while he thinks the city’s planning commission “did the right thing” in denying the requested zoning, he also thinks more work to incorporate the plan into the city and county’s planning processes needs to be done. “Part of the problem with the Lady’s Island Plan is that it’s been adopted, but there was to be an intergovernmental agreement among the county and city,” he said. “Not simply adopt the plan but implement it, and we’re working to get that done.” In search of protection In the meantime, Janet Mulcahy has started a Facebook page for residents wanting to keep tabs on development projects in the area. She says the community is “still very sore about what we saw happen,” referring to the Oyster Bluff development. “We saw a beautiful piece of land clear-cut and cookie cutter houses went in overnight,” she said. “All the oak trees, everything was gone and the wildlife was pushed out.” Oyster Bluff was the wake up call for the once “sleepy island community,” she said. “That started a whole lot of people saying, ‘What is happening here?’ ” She says now, with the recent applications for annexation, the perception is that Beaufort is trying to protect its historic flavor, while pushing city services, residential development, shopping and other commercial businesses outside the city to Lady’s Island. “They’re wanting to utilize Lady’s Island (for this) and that’s what’s frightening us,” she said. She too wants to see the Lady’s Island Plan strengthened and wants to see greater protections afforded to the island. “Beaufort is protected because it is historic, and Saint Helena (Island) is protected because of its natural beauty. Well Lady’s Island wants to be known for something other than a one-intersection dumping ground for everything,” she said. “We want to be protected too.”

In terms of annexation into the city, the owner made the request because she had “not been treated fairly by the county” in years past and “likes the way the city operates,” he said. Would the owner rescind her application to be annexed then, since the planning commission turned down the requested zoning? “It may impact going forward with the application,” he said. Circumventing the plan Still, there are those who remain concerned about unchecked development on the
forums and planning sessions that led to the creation of the Lady’s Island Plan, was among those at the July 29 meeting who opposed the applications for annexation. He said many residents who spent hundreds of hours putting together the plan were under the impression that developers would have to come before that group and disclose what they had in mind. One of the first meetings alone had more than 400 people in attendance, he said. “What was the point in all those meetings?” he said. “Were they nothing but theater? Robert Semmler, a member of the Beaufort-Port Royal Metropolitan Planning Commission who along with two other commission members sat on the steering committee for the Lady’s Island Plan, said the plan set forth specific guidelines for transparency and civic involvement. It also asks that developers of major projects come before the community preservation committee. “It was not required but it was suggested or encouraged,” he said at the July 29 meeting. “And this is a major development if it gets rezoned the way it is versus the way it could be.” Semmler, who was the only member to vote against the annexation of the Miller

Lowcountry artist Ment Nelson stops in to hear Yang speak
By Mike McCombs Among the 150 or so people who crowded around Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang on his campaign stop Thursday, Aug. 15 in Beaufort was a Lowcountry artist who made waves earlier this year with a painting of a different political figure. Ment Nelson, a Beaufort-born, Hampton County-based artist, stopped by to hear what Yang had to say and to present him with a painting he finished of the candidate only a short time earlier in the day. “I’ve been following him on the internet. I saw him on The Breakfast Club. I saw him on the Joe Rogan podcast,” Nelson said. “He’s one of the only candidates who’s addressing AI, things like that. So I was just interested in that. And then, not too many people come to this area. “I grew up here and lived here all my life, so I just like to take part in the culture and what’s going on.” Nelson has also attended

I just want to hear him.” And hear him she did. “This country is running out of time,” Buttigieg said. “This election is about the future and our insistence that the future be better than the past.” Here’s a look at what Buttigieg had to say, both on his own and in response to questions: – “It’s time for a secretary of education that actually believes in public education,” he said. Betsy DeVos has been an abject failure, particularly for the students she claims to represent. – Patriotism, national security and God do not belong

The 30-year-old artist’s legal first name is Clementia. He was named after a family friend, the Rev. Clementia Pinckney, who was killed by a
white supremacist in 2015 in a mass shooting at the Mother Emmanuel AME Church in Charleston. Nelson dropped out of Francis Marion University a decade ago but has made a name for himself as a paint-

Buttigieg proposed creating a million paid public service jobs. – Like the Marshall Plan that rebuilt Europe after World War II, Buttigieg proposes a Douglas Plan that would create an equitable system ( justice and economic) for black Americans. He
said populating the current system with good people isn’t enough. – “We are “running out of time to support rural America,” he said. The biggest issues are the closing of rural hospitals, a chronic teacher shortage and a lack of access to the Internet. – Dollars currently outvote people. It’s time for serious campaign finance reform. – We need to make government more representative. Getting rid of gerrymandering and the Electoral College is a start. – We need to work harder to address the problems in front of us. We have to deal with today’s problems so our children can focus on their own problems when they are actually in charge. – He expressed his support for Medicare for all who want it.

After moving home with family in Varnville, he has seen his career grow. Last year, his work began to be featured in a traveling exhibit presented by the Smithsonian. But it was earlier this year when many who hadn’t seen Nelson’s art got their first taste. Inspired by Kanye West’s 2018 visit with Donald Trump at the White House – Make America Great Again hat and all – Nelson painted a watercolor of the pair complete with a smooch mark square on Trump’s cheek. Nelson priced the painting, entitled “Kissin’ Up,” at $1 million, garnering him coverage on television and in newspapers across the country. The buzz is what Nelson was after. “It’s mainly just talk, still. I haven’t gotten any inquiries,” Nelson said. “But it’s been helping me get my work out a lot more. Because it doesn’t really matter whether it sells or not – though it’d be really great if it did sell. For me it

For the most part, even though his work sometimes takes a political tone, Nelson says the response has been positive. “It’s mostly supportive, about 95 percent supportive, but you’re always going to have negative blowback, especially since I started doing political work,” he said. “You’re staring to get people from both sides starting to have something to say about it. “It’s something I’m prepared for, though.

However, “I would rather cement these policies through legislation.” – We have to rein in the NRA, Buttigieg said. “The kinds of weapons that I carried overseas have no place in our neighborhoods, he said. But the NRA’s own corruption is doing some of the job.” – And lastly, lobbyists are becoming too powerful. It’s time, Buttigieg said, for Americans to use the Founding Fathers’ secret weapon and pass an amendment to overturn Citizen’s United.

SPORTS 2019 HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL PREVIEWS
Beaufort Academy Eagles celebrate a 42-40 win over Andrew Jackson Academy (11-1) in the 2018 SCISA 8-man state championship. BEAUFORT ACADEMY Nothing raises the level of excitement around a program like winning a state championship, but with great enthusiasm comes great expectations. Such is life at Beaufort Academy, where the Eagles are preparing to embark on their SCISA 8-man state title defense. “It’s a lot of pressure,” second-year BA coach Mark Clifford said. “Everybody knows who we are now. We realize that, and we realize that we can’t mistakes and we’ve got to be twice as good as we were last year.” The Eagles’ offense will have a slightly different look after the departure of star running back De’Shaun Epps, but BA returns an experienced quarterback in Dawson Coleman, who has the benefit of a year playing in Clifford’s offense. “We’re way ahead of where we were last year,” Coleman said. “This time last year I was still learning the plays, but now we can start doing different reads at the line. It will change the game a lot.” BA also hopes to benefit from an influx of players who were already walking the hallways but had not shown an interest in playing football until the Eagles’ unexpected run to the state title last fall. “Everybody wants to be a part of it now,” Coleman said. “It’s definitely a different atmosphere.” BEAUFORT ACADEMY EAGLES FOOTBALL Coach: Mark Clifford Record at BA: 11-2 (2nd season) 2018 record: 11-2 overall, 6-1 region (SCISA 8-man state champions) Returning starters: 5 offense, 5 defense Offensive scheme: Split Back Defensive scheme: 4-2 Top returners: QB Dawson Coleman, WR/DB William Tumlin, RB/LB Ja’Sean Lawson, RB/DE Elijah Fess Notable losses: LB Edward McCormick, OL/DL Daniel Richards, RB De’Shaun Epps PLAYER TO WATCH Dawson Coleman, QB: Coleman didn’t need to show off his skills very often last year thanks to a dominant running back, but the Eagles will need him to be more of a focal point in the offense this season. He’s more than capable — an outstanding multi-sport athlete who has an uncanny ability to read defenses, according to Clifford — and should be in line to put up big numbers both on the ground and through the air. BURNING QUESTION Who will produce the big plays on offense? It seemed every time the Eagles needed a big play last season, they could count on Epps to break a long run. With that explosiveness absent, they’ll need someone else to become the playmaker. Coleman is a capable passer and has some solid receivers, including William Tumlin, but BA will also need backs Ja’Sean Lawson and Elijah Fess to flourish in Clifford’s split-back system. REGION AND BEYOND The Eagles face a daunting task in trying to repeat as state champs, especially with Epps out of the picture, but they have six games to work out the kinks before hosting perennial power Andrew Jackson

He’s the second-smallest starter on the Dolphins’ offensive line. “Yeah,” Payne says. “We’re pretty big up front.” The Dolphins hope improved size, experience, and depth in the trenches will be the key to a winning season in 2019. Battery Creek appeared to be on its way in coach Walter Wilson’s first season in 2017, going 4-6, but they slid backwards last season, winning only two games. “I have never been so humbled in my life,” Wilson said. “Sometimes you need that, because it gets you to look at the little tiny things that you may overlook when you felt you were on the way.” With the humility came a renewed work ethic and attention to detail, as well as a commitment to get back to basics. With running back Trey Booth back in the fold and working behind that powerful offensive line, as well as a number of key returners on defense led by defensive end Brandon Wilson, the Dolphins’ gameplan will be simple. “Our plan is to play defense and run the ball,” Walter Wilson said. “That ain’t hard.” BATTERY CREEK DOLPHINS FOOTBALL Coach: Walter Wilson Record at BCHS: 6-15 (3rd season) 2018 record: 2-9 overall, 2-2 region (lost in first round of Class 3A playoffs) Returning starters: 12 Offensive scheme: 21 personnel Defensive scheme: 4-3 Top returners: DE/TE Brandon Wilson, WR/DB Kyseem Jabbar, WR/ DB Elijah Dean, LB Justin Smalls, OL/DL Lucas Kinsey, OL/DL Toddie Gray Notable losses: LB/K Brandon Benke, WR Denarol Brown, QB/DB Jordan Gwyn PLAYER TO WATCH Trey Booth, RB: A powerful runner who carried the Dolphins to a win over May River two years ago, Booth sat out last season but is back for his senior campaign. With sophomore Jacove Anderson taking over at quarterback, Booth will be the focal point of the offense and have a chance to put up big numbers behind a bulky offensive line. BURNING QUESTION Can the Dolphins stop the run? Wilson is excited to have enough

depth on the line to avoid having linemen play both ways, but the question is whether there’s enough quality to shut down the strong running teams at the top of the region. If the Dolphins can answer in the affirmative, it could be a special season. REGION AND BEYOND May River and Wade Hampton begin the season ranked in the top 10 in Class 3A, but they both have big holes to fill from last season. The Dolphins are in as good a position as anyone to be the team to close the gap and challenge for the region title.

Lybrand noticed an improved work ethic during the offseason — an observation his players confirmed — and hopes to see if pay off in the form of more victories in 2019. “The kids have really bought into what we’re doing and why we’re doing it that way,” Lybrand said. “They’ve kind of bought into the concept of earning everything you get, and I’m really pleased with the effort.” After a 3-0 start a year ago, Beaufort lost five straight during a brutal stretch that included games against two Georgia powerhouses. The Eagles believe they are better prepared to face that difficult schedule this year, and they hope to do a better job of limiting the damage when things go wrong. “It’s all about weathering the storm,” Lybrand said. “Sometimes those games that we lost last year were because we didn’t handle adversity well. The biggest thing for us is making sure that when something bad happens it doesn’t affect us the next two or three plays down the line.” The Eagles have loads of talent back on offense, including most of their offensive line and standout running back James Dagin, but the defense is a work in progress as players adjust to new and expanded roles. BEAUFORT HIGH EAGLES FOOTBALL Coach: Bryce Lybrand Record at BHS: 0-0 (1st season) 2018 record: 5-6 overall, 2-1 region (lost in first round of Class 4A playoffs) Returning starters: 6 offense, 3 defense Offensive scheme: Spread Defensive scheme: 4-2-5 Top returners: RB James Dagin,
WR Matt Haley, OL Toby Strawderman, OL Henry Manley, OL Terrance Wilson, OL Caleb Hagood, LB/TE William Winburn, LB George Williams, S Kaedin Grissom Notable losses: LB Will Kelley, QB/S Jeffrey Smyth, OL/DL Chase Guynup, DL Dexter Ratliff, WR Reed Reichel, WR Trae Heyward PLAYER TO WATCH Tyler Haley, QB: The Eagles made it a point to get Haley playing time behind center in meaningful situations last season, and they hope to see the growing pains he experienced a year ago pay off now that he has fully taken the reins of the offense. The southpaw signal-caller has the potential to be a difference-maker, and his continued development could be the key to the Eagles’ success. BURNING QUESTION Who will step up on defense? The Eagles have a handful of starters back on defense, but they also have some gaping holes to fill, including the one previously occupied by All-Lowco Defensive Player of the Year Will Kelley. Stefan Wechsler steps into Kelley’s spot, while massive freshman defensive tackle Eamon Smalls figures to be an effective run-stopper at some point but will need to adjust to the Class 4A schedule after playing 8-man football at Beaufort Academy last season. The Eagles have plenty of talent to plug the holes, but it might take a few games for the defense to hit its stride. REGION AND BEYOND In a region without a clear-cut favorite, the Eagles believe they have as much claim to being the frontrunner as anyone. With an experienced offensive line blocking for an explosive running back and a promising quarterback, the offense should be potent. If the defense rounds into form, the Eagles could be a factor in the postseason. SCHEDULE 8/23 — at A.C.

A year after losing 19 seniors — including five who will play on Saturdays this fall — Whale Branch is nonetheless confident it will be a factor in a loaded Region 5-2A. “We may be short on seniors this year, but the seniors we have are really confident in what we’re doing,” senior De’Arius Hazel said. “We’ve really got great chemistry, and great chemistry within a team can take you a long way.” The Warriors hope that chemistry and the seniors’ leadership will help them mask a lack of depth, especially
in the trenches, where players will be asked to contribute on both sides of the ball. Whale Branch also has to replace star running back Irvin Mulligan and its entire starting secondary. “We’re light on depth, but I’m pretty confident our first-line players can get the job done,” coach Jerry Hatcher said. One area where the Warriors aren’t hurting for depth, though, is at quarterback, where Henry Tome and Jaylen Reeves have been battling for the starting job. Hatcher said both the speedster Reeves and the more polished passer Tome will see time at the position. WHALE BRANCH WARRIORS FOOTBALL Coach: Jerry Hatcher Record at WBECHS: 44-34 (8th season) 2018 record: 7-5 overall, 2-3 region (reached second round of Class 2A playoffs) Returning starters: 4 offense, 4 defense Offensive scheme: Split Back Defensive scheme: 4-2-5 Top returners: RB/LB De’Arius Hazel, RB/LB Jaquez Frazier, OL/DL Jahiem Fripp, K Henry Tome Notable losses: RB/LB Irvin Mulligan, DB Jaheem Hazel, DB Ky’Shon Hipp, DB Marion Smalls, OL/DL Daquan Griswold, QB/ DB CJ Brown, OL Jamari Evans, DB Taqui Polite PLAYER TO WATCH De’Arius Hazel, RB/LB: Hazel was a secondary option in the offense last season, garnering only 29 carries, but he averaged 6.8 yards per attempt and has shown an ability to break long runs in the preseason. He will need to be a bigger factor on both sides of the ball for the Warriors to have success this season. BURNING QUESTION Can the Warriors stop the pass? The entire starting secondary was lost to graduation, and three of the four are playing college football. Fortunately for the Warriors, most of their region opponents feature runheavy offenses, but they will face a couple of teams that like to air it out. The inexperienced secondary will need to get up to speed quickly and limit big plays through the air to keep the Warriors in games.

Preparing the Way
A Shepherd Becomes King The Dynasty of King David
A shepherd takes down a giant. Under the leadership of Saul, the first king of Israel, the Israelites take to the field of battle against the Philistines. From the enemy’s ranks steps a large warrior named Goliath, who taunts the Israelites and demands a duel. With King Saul’s blessing, a young Israelite shepherd named David confronts the giant with no more than five smooth stones and a sling. Placing his trust in the living Lord, the God of Israel, David slays Goliath with a single stone, causing the Philistines to flee in fear.
Under David, God’s second promise to Abraham is fulfilled. A thousand years earlier, God had promised Abraham that his descendants would grow into a great nation. This was fulfilled at Mount Sinai during the time of Moses. God had also promised that he would make Abraham’s name great. In biblical language, this means that from his descendants would come a royal dynasty, in which a king rules over other nations. Through King David, Israel becomes an international dynasty, with nations paying tribute and coming to know God through the Israelite people.
An unlikely hero, David becomes a trusted military leader. The youngest of eight sons, he first came into Saul’s service as the court musician. After the victory over Goliath, Saul makes David an officer in his army. David quickly earns the respect of his soldiers, proving himself an excellent strategist and an inspirational leader. He becomes Saul’s most important and trusted general, helping to conquer many of the surrounding nations.
How will God continue to bless his family of faith? In the centuries that follow, Israel will diminish in power and the line of Davidic kings will become a faded memory. How will God fulfill his promise to David of an everlasting kingdom? And how will God bring about his third promise to Abraham, that all peoples on earth will be blessed through him?
David becomes King of Israel. Upon the death of Saul, David is chosen by God to become the new king. He conquers the great mountain stronghold of Jerusalem and makes it the capital of Israel. Under his leadership, the remaining countries around Israel are subdued. In the forty years of his rule, the kingdom of Israel experiences a new era of peace and prosperity. God promises to make a great line of kings from David. Through the prophet Nathan, God makes an amazing promise to David. God will raise up David’s son as his successor in the kingdom, and he will look upon this successor as his own son. “Your house and your kingdom will endure forever before me; your throne will be established forever.” (2 Samuel 7:16) David rejoices in this promise of an everlasting kingdom; it is a greater promise than anything he could have imagined.

SCHOOLS SCHOOL BRIEFS
BACK to SCHOOL
When it’s the first day for everybody
By Bob Sofaly The first day at a new job is often difficult, full of anxiety and fear of the unknown. For Port Royal Elementary School’s Mahogany Bethea, 23, her entire career started with 16 sets of first-grade eyes staring back at her as if to say, “teach me, we dare ya!” School started for all Beaufort County School District students Monday, Aug. 19.
Jeff Johnson (left), President of the Rotary Club of Beaufort, presents Alyson Boggess (right) with a check for $1,000 to help defray the costs for obtaining a nursing degree.
Rotary Club gives $1,000 technical scholarship
Each year, the Rotary Club of Beaufort awards a $1,000 scholarship to a student who has chosen to further his or her education via technical training. Alyson Boggess has been selected this year based on the strength of her application. Boggess had received a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and was also a licensed cosmetologist, but felt she could help people more as a nurse. With the support of her husband, a Port Royal police officer, and her three children, she will begin studying nursing at the Technical College of the Lowcountry. The vocational scholarship is just one of the recognition programs hosted by the Rotary Club of Beaufort, the oldest of Beaufort’s three Rotary clubs.

AUGUST 22 - 28, 2019
Bethea, a recent graduate of the University of South Carolina Beaufort’s Early Childhood Development program, said she was as ready as she was going to get. “I have two sisters and a brother who are all younger than me,” she said as she counted out crayons into little plastic boxes. “I just have to figure out (her students’) personalities and how they will relate to me.”
Bethea admitted that she has one fear. “What if I’m not able to connect with them?” she said. Ready or not, Bethea hopes to mold them into good citizens and get them ready for the second grade. “I don’t have any preconceived ideas of what to expect,” she said. “But I am really looking forward to helping them learn.”

School district announces Teacher of the Year finalists
Michelle Gordon
Denise Bell
Keisha Miller
Vicki Shockley
Jill Exley
Five classroom teachers have been named as finalists for Beaufort County’s 20192020 District Teacher of the Year. The finalists are Michelle Gordon, math teacher at Bluffton High School; Denise Bell, fifth-grade teacher at Hilton Head Island Elementary School; Keisha Miller, fourthgrade teacher at Joseph S. Shanklin Elementary School; Vicki Shockley, special education teacher at Lady’s Island
Middle School; and Jill Exley, kindergarten teacher at M.C. Riley Elementary School. Superintendent Frank Rodriguez made surprise visits to each of the finalists’ schools Monday and Tuesday to announce the five selections. “It has definitely been exciting to make these surprise visits and honor such deserving teachers,” Rodriguez said. “Their hard work and dedication has brought
them well-deserved recognition, and we’re very proud of them.” The District Teacher of the Year will be announced next month at an awards ceremony. Becoming District Teacher of the Year is a three-step process that began when school-level teachers of the year were selected in April. Those wishing to compete for District Teacher of the Year submitted detailed ap-
plications in July. In the second step, a selection committee consisting of parents, former educators and community leaders from across Beaufort County reviewed the applications and rated them using a numerical scoring system. The five highest-scoring applicants were named as finalists. In the next step, the five finalists will be interviewed by a separate review committee again composed of judges
from across the county. The judges will score candidates based on how well they respond to questions about their teaching experiences and also about current education issues. After those interviews, the panel will select a District Teacher of the Year to represent Beaufort County’s classroom professionals. The current Teacher of the Year is H.E. McCracken social studies teacher Karen McKenzie.
Scores of USC Beaufort students move into dorms Sunday By Bob Sofaly More than 100 University of South Carolina Beaufort students moved into their dormitory rooms Sunday in the Beaufort College Honors Housing Complex. They were met with a small army of volunteers, both students and faculty, to help them move in quickly and get settled in their new environment. In Beaufort, community volunteers represented the Baptist Church of Beaufort, Young Life, Beaufort Memo-
rial Hospital and The Parish Church of St. Helena. Each family had a specific time in which to move their student. There were few complaints and the morning went smoothly. More than 1,000 students moved into USCB’s housing facilities county-wide. USCB boasts a student-body population of more than 2,100 students across the university’s three campuses (Beaufort, Bluffton and Hilton Head).
Student volunteers from the Baptist Church of Beaufort help move a student’s personal items to their dorm room. Volunteers used large hampers to move the students’ belongs.
Follow the signs to your new digs. Once a student checked in with USC Beaufort officials, they were given a team of volunteers who moved their belongings for them, all very quickly and efficiently. Photos by Bob Sofaly.

Students, educators, elected officials and community members celebrated the official opening of Whale Branch Early College High School’s new performing arts center with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday. The high school’s new 34,000-square-foot performing arts center can seat nearly 500 people and will be used not only for student performances, but also for community events. “This has been a long journey for our school and our community,” Whale Branch
Principal Mona Lise Dickson said in a release. “We now have a beautiful facility we can use to give our students a professional-level environment that supports all of the performing arts, everything from band and drama productions to singing and dancing.” Student performers at Thursday’s ribbon-cutting ceremony included Amari Johnson and Lawren Caldwell, and speakers at the event included Student Body President Jameah Moore and Vice President Jamyah
Moore, who are twins. “This is an exciting day, not only for Whale Branch Early College High but also for the entire Beaufort County School District,” Superintendent Frank Rodriguez said. “I’m sure this wonderful facility will host many outstanding student performances in the years to come.” The performing arts center’s lobby is decorated with a large and colorful mural, “Marshland Landscape,” by famed Lowcountry artist Jonathan Green.
FOOD LUNCH BUNCH
The Lunch Bunch at Fishcamp on 11th Street MARGARET EVANS
W
hen I arrived a few minutes late for our gathering at Fishcamp on 11th Street, I was surprised to see the Lunch Bunch seated on the porch. It was August in Port Royal, after all. Nobody had warned me to wear my bathing suit. I needn’t have worried. There were breezes off the water and fans over our heads, and we were perfectly cool as we perused the lunch menu. But before we get to that, I must confess that Fishcamp could serve me a plate of rocks and I’d enjoy myself. Why? Location, location, location. Nestled alongside the historic Port of Port Royal shrimp docks, the place simply oozes character. With deepwater marsh and working shrimp boats on view from the expansive porch, and through the windows of the pleasingly rustic interior, the restaurant radiates a laid-back hospitality that just makes you feel good. This is where you want to take your out-of-town guests for that “authentic” Lowcountry seafood dinner. But we were here for lunch, and I was hungry. Since the others were busy chatting with general manager Tonya Murphy and Chef Garrett Priester, I took advantage of their inattention and called dibs on the Fish Tacos. (We Lunch Bunchers
Bread Pudding
Fish 'n Chips avoid doubling up on orders; that way we get to try as many items as possible.) Betty ordered next – the Spinach Salad with Fried Oysters – and Jeff claimed the Fish ‘n Chips. Mike came in last with the Catch of the Day Fish Sandwich. (I think he really wanted the Fish Tacos, but hey, you snooze you lose.) While we waited for our meals, we sampled a couple of appetizers. The calamari was good, especially if you like yours tender and not too crunchy on the outside. Our favorite were the Jalapeno Hushpuppies, which were like no hushpuppies I’ve ever tasted. Not as spicy as the name suggests – just a little kick – and they’re wonderfully textured and delicious, especially slathered with Fishcamp’s homemade honey butter. Really something special.
Mike is our soup guy, and he started with the Chef’s Soup of the Day, Tomato Crab Bisque, which he immediately deemed “amazing.” Between bites, he elaborated, calling it “incredibly fresh, rich, and tomatoey.” And now the entrees were arriving. Betty raved about her Spinach Salad, chocked full of yummy stuff like red onions, cucumbers, goat cheese, dried cranberries, and candied Georgia pecans. And then there was the icing on the cake – or oysters on the salad, as it were. “I asked for fried oysters on top – it wasn’t on the menu – and they said ‘sure’!” This answer made Betty very happy, as did the fried oysters, which were superb. Jeff is a Fish ‘n Chips fan from way back, and he’s sampled the dish all over the Western world … including Beaufort. Fishcamp’s version
Fish Camp General Manager, Tonya Murphy, & Chef Garrett Priester stacked up nicely, with tasty, flaky flounder and “just the right ratio of breading to fish.” The fries were good, and the coleslaw sweet and crunchy, just the way I like it. (Yes, I picked on his plate. He’s used to it.) Mike thoroughly enjoyed his Catch of the Day Fish Sandwich, and was partic-
ularly glad the Mahi wasn’t over-fried. (You can also get it grilled or blackened.) Served with lettuce and tomato on a pretzel bun, what’s not to love? Last, but certainly not least, my Fish Tacos. I’ve rarely met a fish taco I didn’t like, but these were truly outstanding. I had my fish grilled – again, fried and blackened are options – and it practically melted in my mouth, along with the flavorful textures of roasted corn, black bean salsa, Calabrese chili aioli, and the aforementioned slaw. “Two thumbs up” is an understatement. Throw in a pinky. We were all feeling fat and happy and ready for naps when our server broached the subject of dessert. “Oh no, we couldn’t possibly …” But of course, we did. Fishcamp produces five different homemade desserts daily, and we felt it was our journalistic duty to sample each of them. The staff favorite is the Key Lime Pie, which took 30 attempts to perfect, according to Chef Priester. It was worth it! Perfection achieved. My personal favorite, however, was the Bread Pudding – there are no words to describe it, so you’ll just
have to try it – while others at the table were enamored of the Crème Brulee, the Oreo Lemon Cheese Cake, and the Peanut Butter Chocolate Mousse, respectively. There was literally something for everybody, and everybody indulged. And now we really were ready for naps. As we left the breezy porch, past the picturesque rope swings and the outdoor bar – where there’d be live music later – we thanked the friendly staff, bid the scenic view farewell, and vowed to return as soon as humanly possible. Maybe happy hour? Margaret Evans is co-publisher of The Island News (www.yourislandnews. com), editor of Lowcountry Weekly (www.lcweekly.com), and blogs at www.memargaret.com.

WINE & DINE
Everything Burgandy from a totally unique source
O
ne beautiful aspect of French wines is they are unique to the regions in which they grow. California has varietals that can be grown, from the same grape, throughout the country. In France, you can only have a Chardonnay from the Loire Valley. It is unique because it can only be produced from a grape grown there and a wine produced there. But that doesn’t mean the Chardonnay grape cannot be grown outside of that valley. Chardonnay is a green skinned grape grown in almost every wine producing country in the world.
CELIA STRONG
Chardonnay, more than most any other variety, reflects the soils and climates where it is grown – the “terroir.” – and is easily affected by the winemaker’s style – oak aging, stainless steel tanks, malolactic fermentation, etc. It is the second most widely grown grape in the world and is very malleable. France’s Burgundy region is
home to some of the greatest Chardonnay wines ever, because of the soil and climate. But across France, on the Atlantic coast, a tiny community at the mouth of the Loire River has a unique soil and climate which produces Chardonnay grapes of a unique complexity. There are 87 different AC wine areas along the 350 miles of the Loire River, which runs from the just outside the Burgundy region out to the Atlantic. Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc and Muscadet are the primary white varieties. Muscadet – originally known as Melon de Bourgogne – was originally
thought to be the only grape grown at the river delta. But he Couillaud family, owners and producers of Chateau de Ragptière Muscadet, also make a Chardonnay from their Domaine de Bernier estate. Domaine de Bernier Chardonnay is not an AC level wine. Because the Loire Valley has no sites that are classified for AC Chardonnay. But this Chardonnay is IGP classified. (Indication Geographique Protegée) IGP was a new classification in the French wine laws in 2010. It replaced both the VDQS and Vins de Pays levels. IGP wines do control
where qualified wines come from. So consumers are protected when they buy. Always important. The Bernier Chardonnay was a pet project for members of the Couillard family. Because they felt the soil where their Muscadet grew was close in makeup to the soil of Chablis. One of Burgundy’s great sources for Chardonnay. The birth of unique! This wine is 100 percent Chardonnay, grown on rocky metamorphic and schist soil. Only about 5,000 cases are made each year, from 6,500 vines. After harvest, the grapes are sorted on vibrating tables and, then, pressing is done
with a pneumatic press. Fermentation is done completely in stainless steel tanks with 80 percent of the wine going through a malolactic fermentation. No oak aging, but the wine is aged on its lees. This adds weight and texture. The finished Bernier Chardonnay is clean and crisp with fresh apple, pear and lemon aromas and flavors. And an intense minerality on its finish. A delicious “copy” of what Burgundy can produce, just from a totally unique source. For $11.99 at Bill’s Liquors. Also, totally unique. Enjoy.

VOICES
Virginia Indians couldn’t stop ‘invasion’ of English settlers
I
t is Sunday morning and I’m in Mobjack, Va. Mobjack is north of Norfolk in what is called the Virginia Tidewater. This area — Mathews and Gloucester counties — is thinly developed and has struggled with keeping its high school graduates from leaving for Richmond, Norfolk and Washington as soon as they get their diplomas. Both counties envy nearby Williamsburg and Yorktown where millions of tourists tour the Governor’s Palace or climb around the British breastworks. Gloucester and Mathews Counties are not without history, and recently the National Park Service agreed to create a new national park at the site of Werowocomoco — an important American indian settlement. Werowocomoco is located on a bluff on the York River and was home base for Powhatan, father of Pocahontas. We all remember
SCOTT GRABER
that Pocahontas, a beautiful Indian maiden, saved the English map-making explorer, John Smith, from having his brains bashed-out after he was captured. The story of Powhatan, Pocahontas, John Smith and the clash of cultures is the story that the National Park Service intends to tell. And the folks in this part of the Virginia Tidewater are obviously happy about this prospect. Although there is a statue of Pocahontas in Gloucester County, Werowocomoco does not exist in any physical sense. There is not a single dwelling place; or chieftain’s lodge; or timber palisade. There is only a
large, empty field that is no different from thousands of other fallow fields around Mathews and Gloucester counties. There are no “improvements” because the Virginia Indians did not believe in permanent dwellings. They wore little clothing and did not believe in sofas, chairs, dining room tables or anything else that would impede their movement. But if the truth is told by the Park Service, this is not a happy story. It is the story of mistrust, misadventure and lost opportunities. It is the story of the invasion of coastal Virginia by English settlers and the fighting, killing and starvation that came with this effort. Though there were moments of generosity and a few attempts (by both sides) to work out a peaceful relationship. For a time it appeared that Powhatan would win — and not by force of arms. The English settlers simply
could not feed themselves. While the Indians were adept at foraging for food, the settlers were not. Nor were they good at fishing or growing corn. They waited, behind their wooden barricades, for ships to arrive with supplies from England. While they waited they pleaded for food from the Indians. With the exception of one or two local tribes — the Chicahominy people in particular — food was not forthcoming. Many of the settlers starved to death while scanning the horizon for ships with food. Between 1606 and 1630 the successful settlement of Virginia was in doubt. The number of settlers who crossed the Atlantic was modest, and many of them died of starvation and disease. Powhatan was content to contain the flow and let them starve to death. But after 1630 the small, erratic stream of “invaders” became a torrent that overwhelmed the native
Americans. “The ancient ways of using the land got no respect from the newcomers,” writes Helen Rountree in her book, Pocahontas, Powhatan and Opechancanough. “They knew to shift their houses and fields at intervals, rather than wearing out the land by overfarming (supposedly that was “using it properly”) so they were labelled “nomads.” The English settlers, for their part, believed this land was “empty,” and the Indians did not have a proper title, and therefore they could simply possess it. Possession is codified in our current law — called “adverse possession” — and goes back to the Code of Hammurabi and Roman Law. The time of possession varied, but eventually 12 years of continuous occupation was enough to depose the original owners. In 1644, Chief Opechancanough made a last-ditch effort to throw out the En-
Is it Happy Hour or cranky hour?
A
round the world, there are people who get off work and immediately head for the local bars or pubs. It is usually between 5 and 7 p.m. when people attend Happy Hour. Some bars have moved that time up an hour in order to accommodate those who take off work early. It made me start wondering how the term Happy Hour came about. I mean when you think about it, a lot of people are stressed at the end of a workday. The strain of commuting, the long hours,
LEE SCOTT
Now what?
highlighting daily life observations
and the job itself takes a toll on folks and by the end of the day, well, there are a lot of cranky people out there. Shouldn’t it be called Cranky Hour?
It seems that the endof-the-day crankiness is inherent in all of us. Ask any new parent, caring for an infant and they will tell you that the rough part of the day for a baby (and parent) is between 5 and 7. Maybe we are all just programmed to be exhausted at this time of day. Whining, crying, and being generally out of sorts seems the norm. I did discover that the first referenced mention of Happy Hour appears in Shakespeare’s King Henry V where he says“, Therefore, my lords,
omit no happy hour/that may give furtherance to our expedition.” But I’m not sure he meant it as the time of the day we think of nowadays. However, there might have been a sign outside of the local British Ale house at the time saying “1 pence for a pot of ale and free biscuits.” History also suggests that the term may have originated from women’s social clubs as early as the 1880s. They were called Happy Hour Social Clubs. This makes a lot of sense to me since those wom-
en were the ones stuck with the crying babies from 5 to 7 p.m., although the reference does not necessarily address the whole alcohol connection. I am not sure when restaurants and bars realized they could advertise lower costs drinks and free appetizers to accommodate those workers who were hitting their cranky hour. But why not capitalize on what appears to be a universal need. They may have decided that calling it “cranky hour” had a negative connotation and the term Happy Hour is much more palatable
glish. The chief had heard that there was civil war in England and believed that the King would not be able to resupply the Virginia settlers. Opechancanough struck in the spring of that year killing many. But after the initial assault the settlers who survived began to fight back. They established new forts, further inland, where counter-attacks were launched against the Indians. Eventually, Opechancanough was captured and imprisoned at Jamestown. But what sealed the deal was the discovery, by John Rolfe, that imported Orinoco tobacco would thrive in Virginia’s coastal soil. Tobacco brought a tsunami of new settlers seeking to make their fortune. This is precisely what the Crown wanted out of its Virginia colony.

So even if you do not drink, or maybe you are a light drinker like me, you can still have that time at the end of the day, where you are able to turn the cranky hour into a Happy Hour. My husband and I do, because even at our age, we can still get a little cranky. Lee Scott, a writer and recent retiree, shares her everyday observations about life after career.

The Southern Living-inspired event is an exclusive writers retreat weekend at the award-winning historic Anchorage 1770 Inn. Participating writers will immerse themselves in a collaborative experience. In the retreat’s intimate setting, writers will get to know one another as well as the retreat’s instructors over a span of three days and two nights of workshops, discussions, writing prompts, readings, critiques, and social gatherings. The distinguished faculty of award-winning writers and publishing professionals will share their insights and experiences. This year’s faculty includes novelists Kimberly Brock, Carla Damron, and Reavis Z. Wortham; memoirist and humorist Harrison Scott Key; biographer and book review editor Adam Parker; and literary agents Jeff Kleinman and Marly Rusoff. The cost for the retreat is $1,500 per person and includes a two-night stay at the Anchorage 1770 Inn on Sept. 6-8, all retreat sessions, evening receptions on Friday and Saturday, breakfasts on Saturday and Sunday, and lunch on Saturday. The registration fee will be billed in three equal installments to be paid in full by Sept. 6. Rooms are selected on a first-come, firstserved basis.
