Burton, Colleton County firefighters recognized for heroism
Burton firefighter Michael Causey was recently awarded the Medal of Valor by the Hampton Fire Department at a Hampton Town Council meeting for helping rescue five trapped occupants from a building collapse the evening of June 20. Just before 6:30 p.m. on June 20, during severe thunderstorms, the Hampton Fire Department was dispatched to a reported building
collapse at the Badcock Furniture on Elms St. with people reported trapped inside. Michael Causey, a career firefighter with the Burton Fire District as well as a volunteer firefighter for his hometown of Hampton, heard the call while at home and immediately reported to the fire station. Firefighters arrived on scene and found that the roof of the building, along with a side wall,

on the water ON A MISSION Veteran paddles 2,000 miles to help fellow Vets By Kat Walsh Joseph Mullin, a U.S. Naval Air Reserve veteran with post-tramautic stress disorder (PTSD), has a problem with the number 22. That’s the number of veterans, on average, who die by suicide every day, 365 days a year, every year. So when Mullin retired, he decided to do something big about that number and helping his fellow veterans with the struggles they face. He just didn’t yet know what that big thing would be. Mullin found his answer in Mission 22, a nonprofit founded by three veterans whose personal battles with PTSD and traumatic brain injury (TBI) led them on their own mission to end veteran suicide in the U.S. It was a mission that Mullin could believe in – all funds the organization raised help pay for treatment programs for veterans with PTSD, TBI and other combat-related injuries. Mullin figured – correctly – that paddling more than 2,000 miles solo in a
kayak would draw attention to Mission 22’s cause. So he spent two years preparing: studying water, winds and currents, researching equipment, gathering charts and plotting courses. In order to not take funds from Mission 22, Mullin is paying for this journey with his pension, and a Go Fund Me campaign helped pay for his equipment. A life spent on – and under – water From 1970-74, Mullin served in the Navy as a jet mechanic and on an anti-submarine helicopter squadron. He then spent 20 years as part of an underwater recovery team, recovering vehicles, evidence, and human remains. These experiences weighed heavily on him – “I’ve seen my fair share of bodies,” he says - and they still do. There’s always the fear that a place, a voice or music will trigger an episode. His most recent struggle took SEE MISSION, PAGE A2 Joseph Mullin in all of his paddling gear and glory, making his way into the waters of coastal South Carolina.
County Council votes to move forward on Whitehall Park proposal The Beaufort County Council on Monday unanimously approved a motion to proceed with a recommendation to purchase land for a public park on the Whitehall property, subject to due diligence and after defining the maintenance agreements with the City of Beaufort. Beaufort City Council was slated to take up the issue at Tuesday’s meeting, Mayor Billy Keyserling said. While the city is supportive of a park, Keyserling said it’s premature to predict what an agreement will look like, adding that all parties are trying to expedite a process that would ordinarily take at least six months to a year. The County Council called for the City of Beaufort to manage, maintain, and operate a proposed public park on a 10-acre tract

of the Whitehall property on Lady’s Island, but Keyserling said the city can’t agree to such an arrangement until it knows more about the long-term vision for the park and exactly what that commitment might entail. The County Council will meet again on
September 10, when the topic of Whitehall will be revisited. The Friends of Whitehall Park, a grassroots organization dedicated to supporting the project, has garnered more than 4,200 signatures on a petition in favor of the pro-
posed park. The group also held an event Saturday in which hundreds of residents turned out to learn more about the project. The Walk in the Park event was intended to be a show of support and unity and included representatives from the Developer, County Council and City Council, speaking and working together toward the goal of the park. The event included coffee and muffins provided by LowCountry Produce, golf cart tours provided by Carolina Custom Carts, Entertainment by Beek, Vic and Friends, creative support from Picklejuice Productions, financial donations from Lowcountry Real Estate, Grayco and Hometown Real Estate, and water and collapsible dog water bowls provided by BJWSA.

Although Causey’s actions took place while operating with another fire department, Burton Fire Chief Harry Rountree felt it appropriate to recognize his achievement as well as Hutto’s. “Their actions embody all firefighters to include those here at Burton,” stated Rountree. “After working a 48-hour shift and risking

That is true selfless sacrifice and dedication to public safety which embodies all firefighters. We are very proud of all of them.” Burton Deputy Chief Tom Webb also recently received a Medal of Valor for responding off-duty to rescue two kayakers who overturned in local waterways, and Burton Lieutenant Ethan Webb was recognized for saving a life off-duty by administering CPR. “The men and woman of the fire service don’t simply punch a clock and stop caring at the end of the shift,” Rountree said. “When someone needs help, they act, it’s who they are.”
Mission down the beach and I am telling myself it’s just a tour, just ignore it,” he says.“But my mind was screaming ‘You gotta get down to the water, they need you!’” While he has able to make it through the first night, the internal conflict made a longer stay impossible. He cut his stay short and took off on his kayak the next morning. So how is it that Mullin finds paddling for up to 10 hours a day on the water so therapeutic? The difference, he says, is that this time he’s on the water. Not under it. An Ominous Beginning If most of us had a first day like Mullin’s, there would never have been a second day. His kayaking journey began near the Canadian border at Quoddy Head Lighthouse in Lubec, Maine — the easternmost point in the U.S. — on April 30, 2017. “I was paddling right along in a cove appropriately-named Baily’s Mistake and was hit broadside by an 8-inch wave,” he sighs, shaking his head. “Eight inches was all it took to capsize.” Using his beacon to alert the Coast Guard, it took an hour to locate Mullin at night in the 38-degree water.

several TV stations and into nearly every newspaper in his path – has made him and his mission recognizable to many. He says he usually gets one of two reactions from people when they find out what he’s doing. “Either they think it’s great or they think I’m insane,” he chuckles. Depending on the conditions, the 67-yearold paddles anywhere from six to 10 hours a day, covering 20-40 nautical miles in his 17foot fiberglass kayak. At the end of the day, he looks for a campground or a hotel to spend the night. Occasionally a veteran or a newfound friend will share a meal or give him a place to stay. All the unforeseen obstacles and pleasant surprises Mullin has encountered along the way taught him to be flexible in planning. Case in point: his one-night stay in Beaufort became a two-day delay dedicated to repairing a broken rudder cable. What keeps him going, despite it all? Two things. “I’m no good at worrying and I don’t know the meaning of quit,” he says. “We have reduced the number of suicides per day from 22 to 20, but our goal is zero, so we still have a long way to go,” Mullin added. “This is not about me, it’s about the mission. The mission is far greater than the journey.” How to Help For information or to donate to Mission 22, please visit www.mission22.com.

Learn about Yamasee Indians and Altamaha Town Beaufort History Museum Lecture Sept. 11
Beaufort History Museum, in partnership with the Beaufort County Library, will present a lecture on the Yamasee Indians and Altamaha Town by noted authority and archaeologist Dr. Eric Poplin. The lecture is scheduled for 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 11 at the Beaufort Branch Library at 311 Scott Street. The Yamasee Indians, a multiethnic conglomeration of Native Americans, lived along the lower coastal plain of South Carolina between 1683 and 1715. Altamaha Town, the capital of their settlements, was occupied as early as 1685 until it was abandoned during the Yama-
see War. More than 60,000 artifacts were recovered from the site. Poplin will discuss the history of the tribe and life in the village during his presentation. Poplin, who earned his PhD at the University of Calgary, is Senior Archaeologist/Vice President with Brockington and Associates, a large southeastern US Cultural Resources Management firm with offices in Atlanta, Savannah and Charleston. He has conducted archaeological investigations throughout coastal South Carolina for the last 28 years including some at Altamaha Town, Huspa Town and Pocotaligo Town in Beaufort
District. Admission to the lecture is free. A donation of $5 is suggested and reservations are required. To sign up visit the BHM website at www.beauforthistorymuseum. com. Please print out the ticket and bring to the event. Registration opens August 28. (Lectures sell out. Those with tickets will be admitted first.) Funds collected will be used to support ongoing Museum programs and the ongoing renovation of the Exhibit Hall currently underway. Phase I of the renovation was recently unveiled and Phase II is slated for completion late in 2019.

Beaufort native achieves significant milestone with U.S. Navy By Lt. Cmdr. Marie Tillery
A 1997 Battery Creek High School graduate and Beaufort native has been selected to advance to the rank of chief petty officer in the U.S. Navy aboard Naval Base Guam. Chief Petty Officer (select) Devin Saunders is a culinary specialist aboard USS Asheville. Culinary specialists receive extensive training in cooking, baking, dining and living area management. Navy culinary specialists provide food service for admirals and senior government executives and run the White House Mess for the President of the United States. Responsible for all aspects of the dining and living areas, culinary specialists work in the “heart of the submarine,” and are vital in maintaining high crew morale on the submarine and every shore base. “I enjoy having a big impact on the crew," Saunders said. Saunders credits success in the Navy to many of the lessons learned in Beaufort. “I grew up working on a farm with my granddad, feeding pigs, chicken, chopping wood,” Saunders said. “I learned that hard work pays off.”

Located approximately 3,300 miles west of Hawaii and 1,500 miles east of the Philippines, Guam is a U.S. territory where its residents are U.S. citizens. The island is about 36 miles long, 6 to 12 miles wide and in many ways is an all-American community.
Naval Base Guam is the home of Commander, Naval Forces Marianas, Commander Submarine Squadron 15, Coast Guard Sector Guam and Naval Special Warfare Unit 1 and supports 28 other tenant commands. It is also the home base of three Los Angeles-class submarines and both of the Navy’s submarine tenders, USS Emory S. Land and USS Frank Cable, as well as dozens of units operating in support of U.S. Pacific Command, US Pacific Fleet, 7th Fleet and 5th Fleet. “I enjoy the camaraderie I have with people here,” Saunders said. “We are like family.” According to officials at the U.S. Navy’s Pacific Fleet headquarters in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, the ships, submarines, aircraft and Navy personnel forward-deployed to Guam are part of the world’s largest fleet command and serve in a region critical to U.S. national security. The U.S. Pacific Fleet encompasses 100 million square miles, nearly half the Earth’s surface, from Antarctica to the Arctic Circle and from the West Coast of the United States into the Indian Ocean. All told, there are more than 200 ships and submarines, nearly 1,200 aircraft, and more than
130,000 uniformed and civilian personnel serving in the Pacific. A sailor can only be advanced to chief petty officer after review by a selection board of serving senior and master chief petty officers, in effect “choosing their own.” Advancement to the chief petty officer grades marks the most significant milestone within the enlisted naval ranks. Saunders is most proud of watching the sailors he trained advance to the next rate. “It’s not about me, it’s about the sailors on the boat, they come back and say, 'Thanks CSSC select!'" said Saunders. “I like helping people, always, because someone helped me.” As a member of one of the U.S. Navy’s most relied upon assets, Saunders and other sailors know they are part of a legacy that will last beyond their lifetimes, one that will provide a critical component of the Navy the nation needs. “When people told me I couldn't do something, I joined the military,” Saunders said. “I can now sit back and say not how ‘I did it’ but how ‘we did it.’” Lt. Cmdr. Marie Tillery is with the Navy Office of Community Outreach.
United Way of the Lowcountry Board of Directors to begin search for CEO The United Way of the Lowcountry Board of Directors has announced the resignation of President and CEO Tina Lamb Gentry. Gentry has accepted a position as Chief Advancement and Access Officer with TCN based in North Carolina. Gentry's last day will be Sept. 30. Gentry has led the organization for the past 5 1/2 years through a number of pivotal transitions and challenges. "It has truly been an honor and privilege to lead this wonderful organization," said Gen-
try. "I appreciate the support this community has given us and I am very proud of the work we have accomplished for the people of Beaufort and Jasper Counties." The Board of Directors will be forming a search committee for the CEO position in the coming days. "Tina has been an outstanding leader in this organization and in our community," says Jon Rembold, United Way of the Lowcountry Board of Directors, Acting Chairman. "Under her leadership, Tina
helped grow the annual campaign, transition the organization fully into Community Impact, relocate the Beaufort office debt-free and expand the Education Impact Initiative significantly with stellar results. Tina also helped implement a call center during the aftermath of two hurricanes within 11 months and worked to repair homes with the Long Term Recovery Group for our residents. Tina will be greatly missed and leaves behind big shoes to fill."
PLASTIC BAG BAN STARTS NOV. 1 Retailers, restaurants and other businesses across Beaufort County will have to shift to a more eco-friendly way of doing business on Nov. 1, when a law banning single-use plastic bags goes into effect. The Town of Hilton Head Island, Town of Bluffton, Town of Port Royal, City of Beaufort and Beaufort County have all passed an ordinance prohibiting businesses from providing single-use plastic bags to their customers. Instead, businesses are encouraged to provide reusable carryout bags or recyclable paper bags for customers. The ordinance allows exceptions for some plastic bags, including: • Laundry or dry cleaning bags.
• Meat, produce and bakery bags. • Newspaper and door-hanger bags. • Pet waste, yard waste and garbage bags. • Bags provided by pharmacists or veterinarians to contain prescription drugs or other medical necessities, as required by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). • Bags for items sold in bulk such as bulk food and bulk hardware items. • Bags or plastic wraps for flowers, potted plants or items where dampness may be an issue. • Bags of any type that a customer brings to the store for his or her own use to carry away goods that are not
placed in a bag provided by the store. • Bags comprised of recyclable plastic, with a minimum thickness of 2.25 mils. The ordinance also prohibits organizations that host events on Town or City property from distributing plastic bags at their events. Businesses or organizations may receive a notice of violation or a citation for failing to comply with the law. The eco-friendly law aims to improve and protect the environment, especially our waterways and marine life across the region. For more information, businesses and organizations are encouraged to contact the municipality in which their organization resides.
Sprinkler saves the day in Port Royal apartment fire An automated sprinkler system helped prevent widespread damage and save lives in a fire at Parc at Broad River apartments on Wednesday, Aug. 22. Just after 6:30 p.m., the Beaufort-Port Royal Fire Department was dispatched to an activated fire alarm at the apartment complex in Port Royal. Units from the Beaufort-Port Royal and Burton departments responded to the alarm. The first arriving engine company found an activated alarm, residents evacuating, and smoke coming from a top floor apartment and called for a full structure fire response. Additional units from Beaufort- Port Royal, Burton, and Parris Island responded to add additional personnel, pumpers, and aerial trucks to the assignment.
“Crews went into action fast and did an excellent job,” said incident commander Battalion Chief David Grabenbauer of the Burton Fire District. “We had the problem identified, the fire department connection supplied with water to supplement the fire sprinkler activation, a line from the pumper pulled to the third floor where the affected apartment was, and a crew gaining access to search the apartment for victims and finish extinguishing the fire within minutes of arriving for the alarm.” The source of the blaze was determined to be a couch that caught fire, and a series of safety measures limited the damage. A smoke alarm detected the smoke from the fire early and transmitted the alarm to the central monitoring station, who notified the dispatch center to send firefighters. The alarm also no-
tified residents to evacuate, and the fire sprinkler kept the flames from spreading beyond the burning couch until crews arrived to shut down the sprinkler system and mitigate water damage to nine affected apartments. “From start to finish this incident was mitigated in two hours,” said Beaufort-Port Royal Fire Chief Reece Bertholf. “Thanks to the actions of our building code officials, inspectors, fire marshals, operations personnel and emergency response partners, this business has been built up out of the ground, safely occupied, suffered a fire incident, and can be quickly repaired and re-occupied without a single injury to report, occupant nor firefighter. I couldn’t be more proud of our community efforts in smart, safe, development and emergency response tonight.”
$18,000 raised in support of Beaufort’s airport Thanks to 28 generous Beaufort residents, more than $18,000 has been pledged to improve Beaufort’s airport. Contributing $12.5 million to Beaufort’s economy in 2017 but not funded by county tax dollars, the airport did not have the funds necessary to increase its secure accessibility, so the Beaufort Aviation Association, through its non-profit, Beaufort Airport
Friends and the Community Foundation of the Lowcountry, decided in late-April to assist by donating an automatic, code-accessible gate to replace a locked gate. By mid-May, the association secured the funds to donate the gate through the generosity of its members, Secession Golf Club, and a Spring Island resident. The offer to install the gate was accept-
ed that month by the county, similar to donations by the Friends of Hunting Island and Friends of Fort Fremont. The gate is expected to be installed soon and will increase the airport’s security. The donors include Dan Ahern, Trey Ambrose, James and Sandra Atkins, Tim Brown, Mandy Burgin, Chris Butler, Tom and Bonnie Downs, Keith Guest, Ken and Terri Howell, Steve and Shel-
ley Karol, Frieder Kemmann, Graham Kerr, Kevin McGuire, David Mixson, Derek Richardson, Mike Rainey, Pat Rainey, Don Sanders, Secession Golf Club, Charles Sprietsma, Jean Sulc, Will Tucker, Tim Verroii, and Wally Wallace.

These Red Flags Can Mean Your Brakes are Failing PROVIDED BY STATE FARM
Brakes are a vital safety feature, so getting acquainted with your car's brake system should be a priority. "The braking system on your vehicle is critical in keeping you and your passengers alive and well and your vehicle out of the body shop," says James Solomon, Defensive Driving Courses program development and training director with the National Safety Council. Brake damage or failure can have numerous culprits, including improper or infrequent maintenance, such as low levels of brake fluid and worn brake pads and/or rotors, undetected damage from an unknown source, and wear and tear from weather extremes, including corrosion from road salt. Your brakes could also be compromised if you've hauled a heavy trailer that doesn't have trailer brakes. This can overheat the vehicle's brakes and cause accelerated brake wear and damage. So how do you know if your brakes are operating as they should be? Watch for these warning signs If you experience any of the following problems, it's time to take the car in: • Odd noises. If tapping on the brakes causes a high-pitched squealing noise, you need to see a mechanic as soon as possible. Other suspect sounds include scratching, scraping, and grinding. • Irregular movements or feeling. If your vehicle pulls hard to the left or right when you stop, one side of your brakes is working optimally and the other isn't, says Solomon. Brakes that sink to the floorboard or pulsate before they function—or a steering wheel that shakes—are also red flags that warrant attention. • Inability to stop quickly. An increased stopping distance indicates a problem with your brakes. • Warning lights. Perhaps the most obvious red flag — the brake warning light on your dashboard flashes when something is amiss. How to react during brake failure If your brakes cease to function while you're driving, remain calm, keep your focus on the road, and take immediate action:
•
Activate your emergency flashers and honk your horn to alert other drivers. • Take your foot off the accelerator to begin slowing down, and carefully maneuver your vehicle to the right lane or shoulder. Be sure to signal properly and watch for other drivers. • Downshift to let the engine help slow the vehicle. • If your vehicle has anti-lock brakes, press down firmly on the brake pedal. If your car isn't equipped with this safety system, pump the pedal. • Once you've decreased speed, engage the parking brake slowly and gradually. If you do this too quickly and with too much pressure, your wheels could lock up. What to look for in a new car "Before purchasing a vehicle, inquire as to what type of braking system it has and the fail-safe system that backs it up," says Solomon, who recommends asking the following questions while shopping: • Are you required to listen for a noise from the rotors or drums? • Is there a warning light system that indicates worn brakes? • If the yellow brake light on the instrument panel comes on, how long do you have to seek assistance? • If the red brake light on the instrument panel comes on, what do you do? • How often (in miles and months) should you have the brakes looked at by a certified brake professional? In addition to familiarizing yourself with your brake system, make sure you're well acquainted with your vehicle's other safety features and never take them for granted.

Beaufort High School continued its domination of rival Battery Creek on Friday with a 48-6 road win — the Eagles’ 13th straight victory over the Dolphins. The Eagles took control from the outset, as the Dolphins missed a field goal on their first possession and BHS answered with a scoring drive capped by the first of James Dagin’s two rushing touchdowns. Jeffrey Smyth and Trae Heyward hooked up for a touchdown pass later in the first quarter,
and Dagin added a second scoring run for a 20-0 halftime lead. After Dagin had another touchdown run called back on a penalty, Smyth scored on a keeper to make it 27-0 midway through the third quarter. The Eagles’ defense recorded a safety, Amariee Morris tacked on two rushing touchdowns and Jaylin Houseal broke a long touchdown run to make it 48-0 before the Dolphins scored a late touchdown. Smyth finished 11-of-15 for 234 yards
and a touchdown and added a rushing score. He also made a team-high five tackles, including a sack. Dagin rushed for 74 yards and two scores on 13 carries, and Reed Reichel had five catches for 91 yards. The Eagles’ defense recorded seven sacks and 12 tackles for loss in a dominant performance. Brendan Bowersox had three tackles for loss and forced a fumble. The Eagles (2-0) host Effingham County at 8 p.m. Friday, while the Dolphins (0-2) host Hilton Head High.
GET IN. GET OUT.
GET WELL.
The Mark Clifford era at Beaufort Academy began with a wild 52-33 loss to visiting Clarendon Hall on Friday. “This 8-man football is crazy,” Clifford said after the game, noting most of his players went both ways and several played every snap. Dawson Coleman rushed for 153 yards and two touchdowns and threw a TD pass to Will Tumlin, and De’Shaun Epps added 128 yards and two TDs on the ground for the Eagles, who trailed 14-13 at halftime. Edward McCormick had eight tackles and a sack, and Daniel Richards added seven tackles to anchor the defense. The Eagles (0-1) travel to Laurens Academy on Friday.

McCain won over the Lowcountry
By Bill Rauch
The Lowcountry lost a good man and a good friend last week. Six-term Arizona Senator John McCain won the Lowcountry handily in the 1999 Republican Presidential Primary against George W. Bush, and he won our votes again in 2007 when he beat Mitt Romney and then Barack Obama here. In June 1999, I had just been elected mayor of Beaufort when candidate McCain came calling. I didn’t know much about him, but one-on-one that day now 19+ years ago his manner was so forthright and purposeful, and his message was so right — that he would loosen the grip “special interests” had on Washington — that right there on the spot I decided to give him my support. He was virtually unknown and at 3 percent in the statewide polls that were being taken at the time. I never regretted it. One thing he said then that I recounted in my 2004 book, “Politicking,” was, “Mayor, I’m going to run a campaign that will make you and your children proud,” and he did. It wasn’t easy. You can read the book for all the grizzly details, but let me just pick out one.

I never heard him look back with anger or spite, and at least with respect to the legendarily ugly and deeply personal 1999 South Carolina Republican Presidential primary that threw his candidacy off the tracks, I would be one of those who might well have been in earshot. The closest he came was regretting he didn’t stand taller on the flag. McCain-Feingold was the rest of the Senator’s reply. That legislation that bears his name, passed in 2002 after he was back on the job on Capitol Hill, limits soft money in campaigns, and there was never any suggestion that McCain’s motives in advancing it were vindictive. Indeed, one of the senator’s last requests was that the two guys who beat him for the top job — George W. Bush and Barack Obama — be two who would be asked to speak at his funeral. We lost a good man and a good friend last week. Bill Rauch was the mayor of Beaufort from 1999-2008. Email Bill at TheRauchReport@ gmail.com.
Social media can disconnect us from reality To write about the ills of social media is but to be an echo, an oscillation of sound with familiar movement. Resembling the enthusiastic warnings of mobile phones, Internet and false idols delivered daily as a finale to porch swing sermons given to me by my grandmother, doubts can arise as to the legitimacy of the caution. Should I fear what I don't understand or should I proceed with caution until the unknown is the understood. Societal interrupters are not a novel phenomenon. Arguments can easily be made that the emergence of the Internet, the Blackberry and even instant grits sent ripples of worry, fear and uncertainty to many who felt their purpose was extraneous. The daunting debut of societal interrupters is not new, it just moves much more quickly allowing for little adaptation. We find ourselves amidst the battle with no weaponry, no shield and often no running shoes. Our fight or flight response urges action with little thought, which is perhaps the very essence of social media. Social media is the modern day wild card, loose cannon, Moby Dick, the whale that quite possibly has taken off the leg of tra-
ditional communication spurring us all in search of logical vengeance. It's very inception has caused us to become a pseudo-aware society, inspired toward much of what was comCherimie Crane pletely unknown prior to the opportunity for such Weatherford astounding connectivity. Seemingly overnight we became passionate about causes that we previously dismissed due to distance. Increasing was our concern for our neighbor — the same neighbor we passed daily yet never acknowledged. We became friendlier, more supportive and in many cases far more attractive. Overnight we became whatever we were able to portray behind the guise of a filter. We also became reclusive, overwhelmed and increasingly unhappy as comparison to the tides of perfection crashed against our own shores of self worth. Social media has become botox for our reputation, smoothing creases and polishing our presentation in a precisely poisonous way. Is it sustainable? Can we continue to offer rose-colored glasses to all those
The Organizer Now what?
HIGHLIGHTING DAILY LIFE OBSERVATIONS
Lee Scott, a writer and recent retiree, shares her everyday observations about life after career. A former commercial banker responsible for helping her clients to reach their business objectives, Scott now translates those analytical skills to her writings. She recently moved to St. Helena Island with her husband and two cocker spaniels. She enjoys boating, traveling and reading.
There is a decorating theme I have strongly embraced over the past several years. It is the uncluttered look — a design that dictates that loose items in the home should have their own place and be hidden from sight. This requires the purchasing of storage containers like plastic bins, wicker baskets, and canvas bags, all of which are readily available in local stores. In my mind, this storage craze originated with Tupperware parties. My mother never succumbed to the urge to buy the plastic containers. She found, with eight children, she could barely get the groceries out of the bags and into the cabinets before one of her children was opening a box of cookies. Why add a step to the process? My first foray into the storage container world came after pulling out a box of Christmas ornaments only to have the bottom fall out due to moisture. What a mess! I bought a couple of bins to pack ornaments and liked them so well I had to return for more. No one can argue that the bins stack well, but there is also the case for throwing away all those old cardboard boxes. The store also carried specialty bins for fake Christmas trees, and my favorite, Christmas wrapping. It is so frustrating to catch those year-end sales of leftover Christmas paper, only to have it wrinkled and limp 11 months later. B4
AUGUST 30-SEPTEMBER 5, 2018
Oh, but my organizing did not stop there. I was lured into stores like Bed, Bath and Beyond with their 20 percent off coupons. We all have stacks of those flyers. I bought organizers for my shoes and wicker baskets for accessories. Why should I just stack towels and sheets on a shelf when I could buy “easy slide out containers” for all the linens? Instead of shoving hats and gloves up in the hallway closet shelf, I found cute HIS and HER lined wicker baskets. I even bought an airtight dog food storage container that reads FIDO. Then, with all the original packaging getting discarded, I needed a new plastic recycle bin. My uncluttered home is wonderful, and everything does have its own place. However, I have discovered one drawback. Sometimes it is difficult to find things. I was out of town recently when my husband called. “Where did you hide my cereal?” he asked. “It’s not hidden,” I said. “I rearranged the cabinet. Your cereal is in the blue airtight cereal container, next to the orange pasta storage canister and the yellow rice storage jar. I think.” Then he said, “Maybe it’s time you bought a new label maker for all these storage containers.” “Good idea,” I said. “I may even have a coupon in my coupon bin.”
we encounter? Will it become the catalytic agent that forces authenticity or endanger it to extinction? Will we adapt or will we divide? As with any mass event there is collateral damage, for every action an equal yet opposite reaction. For every progress births a new challenge. Social media with all it's positive uses has created a subculture. A world free of imperfection, glass castles with polished ceilings and crystal floors presented with the best light to those who applaud its shimmer and shine from the shadows of reality. Identities are measured by popular reaction. What is recognized by followers, fans and digital dignitaries is revered, what’s condemned is contagious and what is violent is often viral. Friends can be purchased, importance inflated and experience exaggerated. A world where anyone can be anything all the while actually doing so little. Everyone is an expert, celebrity, villain and victor. Social media is not real just as hair dye, spray tans and instant grits. It's another shortcut society has created that appeals to the masses to take the edge off of life's little absurdities. Instead of putting in time and
effort to establish relationships, instead of building an authentic reputation and instead of learning to face the intricacies of human interaction, social media offers a placebo. It's but a temporary tan, semi-permanent color and preservative to extend what was never meant to be extended. The irony of it all is that there is no avoiding what is real, especially in a small town. There is no filter to improve character. There is no substitute for a reputation built from face to face, day to day, deed to deed. Friends aren't measured by number but by action. Social media is but a virtual gathering where everyone gets dressed up, participates in small talk, shares carefully selected highlights of their lives all to eventually return home to what is real, what is comfortable and what can't be feigned. As with all new interruptions, we will find its purpose and pitfalls. Collectively we will decide, historically we will learn.

COAST TO COAST
This week we’re getting a language lesson along with our wine lesson. Multi-tasking at its best. Many wine regions and areas in France are called Côte or Côtes of this or that, Côteaux from wherever, and similar names. It’s the “côte” word we need to look at. The word “cote” with no accent means “side,” like the side of something. The word “côte,” with the accent means “coast.” Linguists say the accent stands for the lost “s” in the pronunciation. Coteau, plural Coteaux, means “hillside, slope or hill.” Relating this all to wine, Côtes du Rhône, the name of our region this week, means the “coasts of the Rhône River,” which translates to mean the vineyards are on the banks of this river. The Côtes du Rhône is an AC region located in southeastern France. The basic wine from the region comes in red, white and rosé. The reds and rosés are usually based on Grenache, and the whites on Grenache Blanc. By far, the majority of Côte du Rhône wines are red. The Rhône vineyards are some of the oldest in the world, having been used for grapes since the Greeks, the Romans and Medieval Popes, and the appellation is one of the first established by French wine laws. The basic regional wines are almost all blends. Winemakers (about 5,000 producers) are allowed to use 21 different varieties. Specific parts of the region’s wine laws allow small quantities of white varieties to be included within the red wines. The climate in the region is more consistent than most others in France, so vintage variations are less noticeable in the wines and price ranges are certainly affordable. Vidal-Fleury is one of the Rhône’s oldest continuing producers, founded in 1781. Its reputation goes back to a visit by Thomas Jefferson in 1787. He called the wine “justly celebrated.” In their production, Vidal-Fleury has four separate operations — the vineyards, winemaking, aging and bottling. For the Côtes du Rhône red, Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre and Carignan grapes are grown in shallow soils. Clay, pebbles and stone, and sand
make up most of the soils. The vines are planted on hillsides, about 500 to 800 feet above sea level. The grapes are hand and machine harvested and fermented with indigenous yeasts. Temperature controlled tanks are Celia Strong used for fermentation and maceration, which lasts two weeks. Aged on its lees — 70 percent in tanks, 30 percent in barrels — the wine develops complexities before it is bottled. Light filtering and fining, followed by aging in its bottles for three months, finishes its production. The wine is 65 percent Grenache, 20 percent Syrah, 10 percent Mourvedre and 5 percent Carignan. It is a ruby red color with dark cherry, blackberry, black raspberry, roasted nuts, coffee, cocoa and spice aromas and flavors. It has a bold texture, smooth tannins and a lush, juicy finish. About 40,000 cases are made every year. For $12.99. The Côtes du Rhône white is based on Viognier and Grenache Blanc. The vineyards for these grapes have the same soils and elevations as the red wine. They are hand and machine harvested and transported to the winery in small grates. Indigenous yeasts are used for fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. No malolactic fermentation is allowed. The wine is aged on its lees, in its tank for six months. Light filtering and fining, and three months aging in its bottles are all done before release. This wine is 75 percent Viognier, 15 percent Grenache Blanc and 10 percent other varieties (Clairette and Roussanne). It is a light gold color with the classic Viognier aromas and flavors of peaches, nectarines, jasmine flowers, subtle baking spices, pears, citrus and raw almonds and hazelnuts. It is a medium-bodied wine with a silky texture. For $12.99. From a coastal region to a coastal town. Perfect. Enjoy. Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island.
