Entrepreneur Andrew Yang bringing campaign for president to Beaufort By Mike McCombs Andrew Yang will bring his campaign for president to Beaufort County on Thursday, Aug. 15. The Democratic candidate will speak at the North of the Broad Democratic Club meeting at the Grand Army of the Republic Hall at 706 Newcastle Street. The gathering and greeting begins at 6:30 p.m., followed
by the meeting at 7 p.m., but Yang probably won’t speak until roughly 7:45 p.m. Yang is Andrew known for Yang his signature policy, called 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. According to Yang, this will soften the blow of an increasingly difficult U.S. labor landscape as a result of current and future job elimination due to automation. Yang’s two other major platform issues are Medicare for all and human-centered capitalism. The founder of Venture for
America (VFA), a non-profit that focuses on creating jobs in struggling American cities, Yang is pro-choice, opposes discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identification and wants the United States to rejoin the Paris Climate Accords. Speaking before Yang will be the scheduled special speaker, Gloria Holmes, PhD, a professor at the University
munities with diverse cultural, social, historical, and political profiles. Yang joins a growing list of 2020 candidates who have visited Beaufort County since the spring. Previous candidates to swing through the Lowcountry include Beto O’Rourke, Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker, John Hickenlooper and Marianne Williamson.
THE BOYS OF SUMMER
2 rescued on water By Mindy Lucas Two water rescues within four days of each other have kept area first responders busy recently. The first water rescue involved a 30-year-old woman who was rescued from the Beaufort River after she was swept away from a dock around 6 p.m. July 31, said Battalion Chief Ross Vezin with the City of Beaufort/Town of Port Royal Fire Department. It was first thought the woman had jumped from the Woods Memorial Bridge after a 911 caller reported a person had jumped from the bridge. However, officers arriving on the scene at the Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park, later learned the woman had decided to go for a swim from the city’s day dock. According to the officers, she was then “carried away by the current,” said Patrick Schmucker, a spokesman for the Beaufort Police Department. An officer with the fire department spotted the woman drifting towards the Old Point neighborhood. The woman tried to cling to the piling beneath the bridge but the current was too much for her, Vezin said. “She couldn’t hold on and that’s when he saw her go under several times,” he said. Firefighters were eventually able to rescue the woman after throwing water rope rescue bags from a dock off Port Republic Street in Old Point, then jumping into the water to get to the woman as she passed by. The woman was given medical care by EMS and taken to the hospital. It was not known what her condition was as of Monday night. The City of Beaufort/Town of Port Royal Fire Department,

The fire was fully extinguished within about an hour and investigators remained on the scene for several hours after, he said. The injured firefighter suf-

Pa. woman killed in collision on water near Hilton Head By Mindy Lucas A 20-year-old Pennsylvania woman vacationing on Hilton Head Island died after the personal watercraft she was riding collided with another, officials have said. Ciara Eiriz, of Pittsburgh, was pronounced dead just after 1 p.m. July 30, near where the collision took place, Beaufort County Deputy Coroner David Ott said. Officers with the S.C. Department of Natural Resources responded to the incident which occurred on Mackay Creek, a waterway between Pinckney and Hilton Head islands. EMS also responded to the C.C. Haigh Jr. Boat Landing, where the injured rider was taken. The collision involved two personal watercraft operated by Eiriz and a 19-year-old man, also from Pennsylvania, said the agency’s Regional Public Information Coordinator David Lucas. The two were riding in a group with two guides and had rented the watercraft earlier from Sea Monkeys Watersports, on Hilton Head Island, he said. The man, who is an acquaintance of Eiriz’ sister, has been charged with negligent operation of a water device. He was given a field sobriety test, which he passed, Lucas said. He was not injured in the collision, and no other watercraft was involved, Lucas said. If found guilty, the man can be fined up to $200 or be imprisoned up to 30 days. The S.C. Department of Natural Resources is continuing to investigate.

Preparing the Way
“Let My People Go!” The Israelites Become a Nation
Centuries have passed since the days of Jacob. Jacob, the grandson of Abraham, had received from God the new name Israel. In a time of famine, his twelve sons had moved to Egypt with their families. For four hundred years, they and their descendants remained in Egypt and flourished. They had now grown into twelve tribes, each numbering tens of thousands of people and each named after the son from whom they descended.
God reveals himself to Moses in the burning bush. One day while tending his flock, Moses sees a strange sight: a bush is on fire on a nearby mountainside, but it is not burning up. When he goes to investigate, God reveals, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob.” (Ex 3:6) He has heard the cries of his people, and now, “I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.” (3:10)
Seen as a threat by the Egyptians, the Israelites are enslaved. Seeing how numerous the Israelites had grown, a new Pharaoh perceived them to be a threat to his rule. He ordered them all to be made slaves and forced them to do hard labor. In order to reduce the Israelite population, he ordered that when Israelite women give birth, only the baby girls be allowed to live. The Israelites cried out to God in their slavery and misfortune. (Exodus 1)
With God’s help, Moses leads the Israelites out of Egypt. After God causes many disasters to befall Egypt, Pharaoh finally gives in to the cry of Moses, “Let my people go!” The twelve tribes of Israel are allowed to leave Egypt with all of their possessions. Escaping through the Red Sea, God leads them to Mount Sinai, where Moses had encountered God in the burning bush.
In the midst of these dark times, Moses is born. A woman of the tribe of Levi gave birth to a boy, who was spared at birth and adopted by Pharaoh’s daughter. She named him Moses and raised him in the royal household. As an adult, Moses witnesses an Egyptian beating one of his fellow Israelites, and he kills the Egyptian in a moment of passion. Now in fear for his own life, he flees Egypt and takes up the life of a shepherd. (Exodus 2)
At Mount Sinai, God calls the Israelites to be his people. He gives them a special calling: “Out of all the nations you will be my treasured possession… a kingdom of priests and a holy www.thebeaufortsound.com nation.” (Ex 19:5-6) They will be his special people, through which all the other nations will come to know him. By following God’s commandments and worshipping him with love, the Israelites will be a light in the darkness helping others to know the true God. They descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob wholeheartedly agree. The first promise to Abraham is fulfilled. They had left Egypt as twelve tribes of people with a common ancestor. At Sinai, these twelve tribes are formed into a nation, the nation of Israel. God has fulfilled his first promise to Abraham: www.thebeaufortsound.com “I will make of you a great nation!” (Gen 12:2)

Back-toSchool Expo event prepares students The Beaufort County School District is teaming up with government agencies and private-sector business partners to hold its annual “Back-toSchool Expo,” designed to give students and their families a free day of fun, food, door prizes and valuable information about the upcoming 2019-20 school year. This year’s Expo is set for 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 10, at Battery Creek High School in Beaufort. “Getting ready for a new school year can be a stressful time,” Beaufort County School District Superintendent Frank Rodriguez said, “and this event is a terrific way for families to gather a lot of practical and helpful information. District schools are pitching in, district employees are volunteering on a Saturday, and we’re also getting assistance from our business partners, civic groups and faith-based groups.” Students and their families are encouraged to attend the events, which will feature: • Booths operated by district schools that can supply information about school activities. • Door prizes from local restaurants and businesses. • Free school supplies for students. • Free dental and health screenings for adults and children will be provided, including free HIV testing, by Beaufort-Jasper-Hampton Comprehensive Health Services. • Sodexo Food Services will be taking early school lunch applications. • The district’s travelling preschool bus will be on site, and staff will share information with parents. Transportation is being provided at sites around the county, and details are available online (https://tinyurl.com/ y67guxp5) or by calling 843322-0770. For additional information, contact Lakinsha Swinton (843322-5417 or lakinsha.swinton@ beaufort.k12.sc.us) at the Beaufort County School District.

Beaufort County to get 18 new, propane-powered school buses The Beaufort County School District will receive 18 new school buses – the district’s first buses powered with propane – through the state’s settlement agreement with Volkswagen, Gov. Henry McMaster announced July 30. New buses for Beaufort County and three other school districts are being funded from South Carolina’s portion of a $2.9 billion settlement reached with Volkswagen on behalf of all 50 states. The agreement was reached after the car manufacturer admitted to altering devices on its cars that were designed to cheat U.S. emission tests. Two-thirds of Beaufort County’s 181 school buses are supplied by the S.C. De-
partment of Education, which operates the nation’s oldest fleet. The district’s 18 new state-supplied buses – Thomas Built Saf-T-Liner propane models – will replace models that are 31 years old. The infusion means that only a handful of state-supplied 1988 models will remain in Beaufort County, and those will serve only as substitute vehicles. Although the General Assembly has adopted a 15-year replacement cycle for buses, it has not budgeted sufficient funds each year to maintain that cycle. “These new buses are certainly a positive step,” district superintendent Frank Rodriguez said in a release. “We’ve done a lot locally to
make our district bus transportation system more reliable by adding new vehicles, including 44 new buses that we leased ourselves. Newer buses mean fewer mechanical breakdowns, and that means fewer students arriving to school late and fewer students arriving home late.” State Superintendent of Education Molly Spearman said the new buses will cost half as much to fuel and maintain as the 1988 models they will replace, and also are better for the environment. Beaufort County School District Transportation Director Eldridge Black said the district expressed an interest to the state last spring in obtaining new propane-powered buses through a state grant
program. In addition to providing the 18 new vehicles, Black said, the state also will provide funds to construct required infrastructure such as fueling equipment and a 2,000-gallon propane tank. The district’s only financial commitment is providing electric power to the new fueling station, and district officials estimated that construction cost at $25,000 to $40,000. Propane buses have engines that burn “cleaner” and produce fewer harmful emissions than traditional diesel-powered buses. In addition, Black said, propane-powered engines have fewer moving parts and require less maintenance. The district expects deliv-
ery of the new buses by early 2020. The fueling station will be constructed at the school district office in Beaufort, and initially the new buses’ routes will be focused on northern Beaufort County. The propane-powered vehicles will be used on shorter routes due to their 200-mile range. The other three S.C. districts to receive propane-powered buses through the VW settlement agreement are Horry, Lexington District 1 and Richland District 2. About 12,000 of the Beaufort County School District’s 22,000 students ride a bus to or from school each day, and district buses – including 44 owned by the district – total about 11,000 route miles each day.
TCL honors August health science graduates
The Technical College of the Lowcountry recognized 55 health sciences graduates during its Aug. 2 pinning ceremony at the Beaufort Campus. The ceremony honored graduates of the massage therapy, medical assisting, radiologic technology, surgical technology, practical nursing and associate degree nursing programs. The special ceremony allows students to receive the respective pins for their professions while being recognized by faculty, staff, friends and family. The ceremony
also includes class speakers, pledges and graduation traditions unique to each program. For example, the nursing tradition involves lighting of a lamp, a nod to Florence Nightingale who carried a lamp to light her path as she cared for the sick and dying soldiers during the Crimean War. In the last five years, TCL has graduated nearly 500 health care professionals. After completing these programs, graduates will pursue licensing and become healthcare professionals in
Lowcountry hospitals, nursing homes, clinics, physician offices, assisted living facilities, schools and more. Others will choose to continue their education. For more information, please visit www.tcl.edu/ health. The Aug. 2 graduates are: Massage Therapy: Leiah Roxann Castillo, Cambridge Davis, Julian Ignacio Diaz, Cynthia Denise Kostov, Beverly Nichole Long, Elia Sanchez Parker, Jessica Renée Singleton, Olivia Paige Smith. Medical Assisting: Al-
exandria Chenelle Bethea, Kenyonia Varntrell Brown, Justina Fuller, Kassandra Sue Hoffman, Paula Andrea Madrid, Kaylah Jade Wright, Kaila Wyatt. Radiologic Technology: Kellie Cooper, Stephanie N.

The Citadel, TCL partnering on business degree program The Citadel and 27 twoyear schools throughout the south, including Technical College of the Lowcountry, are working together to make a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA) degree available to a wider spectrum of students. Eligible students would start in, or have already graduated from, one of the partner schools and finish with a degree from The Citadel, which has one of the top-ranked, online and part-time business
programs in the country. The agreements cover six southern states, from Alabama to West Virginia. They allow students who are pursuing associate in applied science (AAS) business degrees automatic acceptance into the Baker School of Business at The Citadel. In addition, those community and technical college graduates who are already holding an AAS in business can seamlessly transfer all of their credits to The Citadel.
The transferring students will attend non-cadet, civilian classes, with the option to choose between studying online, on campus, or both. The students then graduate with a full, four-year BSBA and the prestige of holding a Citadel diploma. “We are excited to support the advancement of business students at our partner community and technical colleges in six states through these agreements. Our program is designed to meet the
needs of those students while allowing them to stay in their communities,” said Jeremy Bennet, Ph.D., director of the degree completion program at The Citadel. “Students in these two-year programs will have shown the dedication needed to complete their associate degrees. Now, they won’t have to sacrifice credits when transferring to the Citadel.” The collaborations document a pathway between the technical colleges and The
Citadel through a transfer course equivalency table. The table lays out the courses participating students must take to satisfy degree requirements before transitioning to their second two years of study with The Citadel. If the table is followed, the technical school students who complete their associate degree are awarded full transfer credits for their classes and will be able to complete a BSBA in four semesters of study through The Citadel.

State bans use of natural deer lures
A new regulation has been established that affects the use of natural deer lures and attractants often used by deer hunters in South Carolina. The new regulation makes it unlawful in South Carolina to possess or use, for the purpose of hunting or scouting, any substance or material that contains or claims to contain any excretion collected from a deer, including urine, feces, gland oil or other body fluid. This does not prohibit the use of synthetic products
or substances collected by a hunter from deer legally harvested in South Carolina. Synthetic products are clearly labeled as such. If a product is not clearly labeled as synthetic, it should be assumed to contain natural material. This preventative measure was established as one tool in the battle to prevent the introduction of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) into South Carolina. CWD is a contagious, always fatal, neurological disease that affects mem-
bers of the deer family. The disease is not caused by a virus or bacteria, but is rather the result of a naturally occurring protein, called a prion, which becomes misfolded and thus resists being broken down by the body the way normal proteins are. When these misfolded proteins are introduced into a healthy deer, they multiply by causing the animal’s normal and healthy prion proteins to misfold and begin damaging the animal’s nervous system. The infectious proteins (i.e.,
prions) known to transmit CWD have been found in the urine, feces and saliva of infected individuals. While there has not been a case of CWD detected in South Carolina, or in any neighboring states, the S.C. Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) is following the lead of other states in proactively prohibiting the use of natural lures and attractants in order to minimize the potential risk for CWD introduction into the state. “Numerous other states have
a ban on these products in place, this is part of a comprehensive effort to keep Chronic Wasting Disease out of our state and protect our valuable deer herd from this devastating disease,” Jay Cantrell, SCDNR Big Game Biologist, said in a release. “There’s no practical or feasible test that can be performed on these natural urine products, or on the deer they collect the urine from, so there’s no way to know if they are safe.” The disease has been de-
tected in 26 states including: Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming, and the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. CWD also has been detected in South Korea (captive elk) and Norway (reindeer and moose).
Beaufort County stays alive at Dixie World Series
After dropping their opening game, the Beaufort County All-Stars reeled off three straight lopsided wins to advance to the final four of the Dixie Junior Boys World Series in Aiken. Beaufort County got off to a rocky start in the double-elimination tournament, losing 11-1 to Sumter on Saturday — the local team’s third consecutive loss to the state champs — but they rolled to big wins in their next three
games, smashing Spring Hill, Florida, 21-6 on Sunday, beating Huntington, Texas, 13-3 on Monday, and routing Hattiesburg, Mississippi, 16-1 on Tuesday. Beaufort County managed only four hits in the opener, while Sumter scored in each of the first four innings to build a big lead en route to a third straight win over Beaufort County. Logan Brutcher went 2-for-3, Kevin Brown had an RBI double, and Hud-
son Mullen added a hit for Beaufort County. Starter Joab Stephens was charged with the loss. Beaufort County rediscovered its potent offense against Florida, scoring in each of the game’s six innings, including a pair of five-run frames and a seven-run sixth. Jadyn Andrews went 5-for-5 with four runs and four RBIs, and Kyler McKeever was 4-for-5 with a double, a triple, two runs, and five RBIs to lead the offensive
outburst. Brown was 4-for-5 with three runs and an RBI, Carter Zareva was 3-for-4 with a double and three RBIs, and Braydon Dineen was 3-for3 with two runs and an RBI. Brutcher started and earned the win on the mound, allowing one run and two hits over two innings. The local squad kept rolling Monday, beating Texas 13-3 in five innings to stay alive. Beaufort County banged out 15 hits, including two apiece
Hardie finishes 9th at CrossFit Games
The result wasn’t quite what Dave Hardie envisioned, but the 61-year-old Beaufort man lived his dream this weekend. As one of 10 qualifiers for the CrossFit Games in the men’s 60-plus age division, Hardie reached the pinna-
cle of the CrossFit world. Although he finished ninth among the 10 competitors in his age group, Hardie enjoyed a moment of glory by winning the 4.5-kilometer ruck run. In the ruck run, competitors run three 1,500-meter
laps while carrying a ruck sack with an increasing amount of weight. In the 60-plus division, competitors completed their first lap without the pack, picked up a 20-pound pack for the second lap, and increased the weight to 30 pounds for the final lap.
Hardie covered the distance in 20 minutes, 33.42 seconds, nearly two minutes ahead of the second finisher. Unfortunately for Hardie, he finished no better than seventh in the remaining five events, but the experience nonetheless served as a sat-
from McKeever, Brutcher, Mullen, Owen Harwell, Brown, and Andrews. Mullen and Zareva each drove in three runs, and Harwell added two RBIs. Mullen went the distance on the mound for Beaufort County, allowing three unearned runs and four hits with four strikeouts. The hits kept coming against Mississippi, as Beaufort County put up 13 runs in the second inning en route to a 16-1 win in three innings.
McKeever was 3-for-4 with a double, three RBIs, and three runs to lead the offense and struck out three while allowing one unearned run over two innings to earn the win. Dietrich Shuford and Dineen each added a hit and two RBIs. At press time, Beaufort County was scheduled to play at 7 p.m. Tuesday with a spot in the championship game on the line.

Delaney signs with NY Jets
isfying finish to his competitive career. “It was amazing, absolutely amazing,” Hardie said. “I had high expectations and high hopes and it exceeded them all, not necessarily from a performance standpoint, but as an experience.”
Former Whale Branch star Dee Delaney will get another shot at making an NFL roster this season after signing with the New York Jets last week. Delaney went undrafted in 2018 coming out of the University of Miami, where he played his final collegiate season after three years as a standout defensive back at The Citadel. He signed a free agent deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars and played two games before being claimed off waivers by the Miami Dolphins. After finishing last season on the Dolphins’ practice squad, Delaney signed a reserve/future deal with Miami in January but was released in May. The 24-year-old Delaney, listed at 5-foot-11 and 200 pounds, was buried deep on the Jets’ first unofficial depth chart released Monday but will have the chance to work his way up the ladder during the preseason.

Old customs die a slow death
I
t is Saturday morning and it’s surprisingly cool on my deck — a wooden rectangle that extends out from our dining room and provides a distant, indistinct view of the Beaufort River. In a few hours that stretch of water will be full of local families and their recreational watercraft. It’s July and we are in the midst of Beaufort’s Water Festival when thousands gather at the Henry Chambers Waterfront Park for a variety of water-related events. Last night it was the “River Dance.” As I sat and watched 2,000 kids dancing and singing the strangely irresistible lyrics of YMCA— “Young man there’s no need to feel down; Young man, pull yourself off the ground” — my mind went back to earlier times when the Water Festival only involved one weekend and that weekend
SCOTT GRABER
was centered on the Water Festival beauty pageant — the selection of the Queen of the Carolina Sea Islands. In the early 1970s young women from across South Carolina would arrive for a three-day contest that involved physical beauty, baton-twirling and the ability to smile and wave a white-gloved hand while being driven on the sun-baked asphalt of Bay Street. In those now-faded days we owned a two-seat, entirely unreliable Fiat convertible. My wife and I bought this car right after I got out of the Army and it
sometimes got us to Atlanta (or St Augustine) on the weekends— and sometimes it did not. But in those days, convertibles were rare, so rare that I always got a call from Jimmy Thomas (in June) asking me to carry one of the beauty pageant contestants in the Water Festival Parade. Now I must admit — here and now — that I liked this duty. I liked having Miss Hampton County Watermelon Festival or Miss Bright Leaf Tobacco or South Carolina’s reigning Collard Queen sitting on the atop the griddle-hot trunk of my convertible while cruising down Carteret Street. I liked bathing in the reflected spot-light of a beautiful young woman who had hopes of getting a crown later that night. And I liked the conversation. “I hate this,” Miss Lancaster County would say.
“I really find this beauty business degrading.” “I wouldn’t mention that to the judges,” I would say. “It’s the scholarship money,” she would reply, exasperated. “But it’s going to pay my way through Winthrop.” As we turned the corner at Bay Street and drove past the waving dignitaries — often including Strom Thurmond or Mendel Rivers — she would continue, ... “I know I’m cashing-in on my legs, my face, my…..” “Listen, you don’t have to apologize to me. You don’t have to explain your incredible cheekbones, those wellturned, well-defined ankles.” “Is it a crime Scott? Is it wrong that I make a few dollars on my looks?” Sometime in the 80s (or 90s) it was decided that our beauty pageant was passè. Or that the celebration of reggae, bocce ball and croquet were more import-
ant than celebrating female beauty. Maybe the “Lowcountry Supper” generated more revenue and memories of Miss Cheraw belting out “Summertime” were fading. In any event it was decided by the creative team at the Water Festival that we didn’t need a “Queen of the Sea Islands” anymore. As I watched the kids dancing last night, I was reminded how things change — quickly change — and something as important as the beauty pageant can be replaced by the Bay Street Bed Race almost overnight. But we must be nimble and creative if we are to survive in this new world of festival entertainment. But then, as we were leaving the venue, I saw a wire-enclosed cage where one could throw a hatchet for prize money — actually one was awarded redeem-
able tickets if you hit the bulls eye. Fascinated, mesmerized we lingered. I knew, of course, all about that the new tavern-based sport called “dwarf-tossing,” but I was new to the idea of ax throwing in the immediate vicinity of alcohol-drinking. But this morning I read that ax throwing has largely replaced dart throwing in many northern cities — some pubs having up to 12 ax throwing lanes. I doubt that I’ll ever get over the loss of the beauty pageant — old customs die a slow death — but I also know things change. And I know that the Water Festival folks have to stay current and, if necessary, ax those events that have lost their relevance.

The art of shun-piking is a lost one these days
T
here is a new phrase that now exists in my vocabulary. It is shun-piking. This is the art of avoiding turnpikes. The phrase came up on a recent trip when my husband suggested it. “Let’s just stay off the main roads and go shun-piking,” he said. Evidently one of his old buddies embraced the concept because he was too cheap to pay highway tolls. By avoiding turnpikes, he found he could save a lot of money. But the added benefit was the ability to see small towns and attractions
LEE SCOTT
Now what?
highlighting daily life observations
that one normally would not see on turnpikes and interstates. Although there are not many tolls for our trips up and down the East Coast, we do find ourselves paying tolls for the “easy pass”
lanes and bridges sometime. But my husband’s thought was not so much as to save money, but to see explore areas we had never been before. And so off we went – shun piking. It allowed us to find places like Marie’s Diner for lunch (which was outstanding) and a cute little breakfast place which was packed with people greeting the waitresses as best friends and saying things like, “The usual, Mabel.” You just don’t hear that in McDonalds or Burger King. You don’t need Trip Advisor to tell you where to eat.
Just find the busiest parking lot in a rural town. We discovered that Roanoke Rapids really did have rapids and is located on the edge of the North Carolina Piedmont and the coastal plain. My fifth-grade geography slowly came back to me as I read the brochure. We found many fruit and vegetable stands and the out of the way antique stores. I told my husband that I felt like we were Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz from the “American Pickers” television show. Fortunately, we saved one another from buying old junk that other
people were trying to get rid of themselves. “Please, do not buy that old wooden bucket,” he said. “It will just be one more thing our children will have to throw away.” “You have no imagination.” I responded as I took the old pipe holder away from him. “You don’t smoke” We did learn a couple of things, like take an atlas (we did). Because if there are no cell towers, your Google Map app is worthless. Also, make sure your car is in good working order and filled with fuel. Gas stations and mechanics are
far and few between. The shun piking was very interesting, but there is one hitch. Watch the speed limit signs! Small towns have speed limits that plummet from 55 to 25 quickly. If you save any money on tolls, you may have to spend it on speeding tickets. 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.

FOOD WINE & DINE
Some wines are worthy of a promotion
Y
ep. Wines do get promotions. Not new job titles, exactly, but new upgraded legal designations. Which means they’re doing a good job and deserve to be recognized. And, surprise, sell for a higher price. France was the first European country to recognize the value that quality controls would give to their wine industry. In 1935, they established their “Appellation d’Origine Controllée” laws. Federal laws with exact specifications for each region. And even for individual towns and vineyard sites in some cases.
CELIA STRONG
These laws regulated grape varieties, growing practices, bottle shapes, label information and more. Plus below this top AOC (or AC) level, there are several lesser tiers with less strict regulations. In 2003, a wine from the tier below AOC, known as VDQS, got a promotion. This wine was Sauvignon de
Saint-Bris. Saint-Bris is a village. It is located in the northern part of the Burgundy region, just south of the town of Chablis. Traditionally, Sauvignon Blanc was not considered to be a top quality grape for the Burgundy region. Its white wines had to be Chardonnay. Traditionally, Sauvignon Blanc was not thought to be suited for Burgundy’s soil and climate. And, traditions in French wine regions are tough. If a variety or technique or whatever is not traditional, it can be almost impossible for a wine to be approved for an upgrade. Saint-Bris wines, though,
made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc, got past some rigid Burgundy traditions and got their promotion. Simonnet-Febvre is a producer based in Chablis. Founded in 1840, they are known for their high quality Chablis wines. Today, they are a satellite of the wellknown Louis Latour company. Their Saint-Bris is made from grapes grown in limestone and clay soil. On vines with an average age of 25 years. These soils encourage the Sauvignon Blanc grapes to show their full range of aromas, flavors and minerality.
The vineyards for these grapes in Saint-Bris are cooler, which lets the grapes ripen slowly. And develop more intense flavors for the finished wines. Fermentation is done in stainless steel tanks at temperatures from 60 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit. After, the wine is aged in stainless steel tanks for six to eight months. And malolactic fermentation is done 100%. There are less than 150 acres growing grapes for this wine. Which is not much! The finished wine is a pale, golden color. With some light green highlights. It has intense aromas that include
tropical and exotic fruits (peaches, mangos, starfruit, kumquats), subtle lemons and grapefruits, notes of white flowers, a bit of fresh green grass, light thyme and chive nuances. And flavors that echo all these aromas. Plus more. All with a great structure, and fresh acidity. A great apéritif wine, perfect with salads, shellfish, seafood, light cream sauces, cheeses, cold roast chicken, gravlax, and on and on. Yum! Drink the promotion. For $14.99 at Bill’s Liquors. Enjoy. . Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island.
