Harvey left a lasting legacy in Beaufort ME-DNLD-1790-00-001-04X6

William Brantley Harvey Jr. August 14, 1930 ~ December 12, 2018

The Honorable William Brantley Harvey Jr., who served as Lt. Governor of South Carolina from 1975 to 1979, died peacefully in his hometown of Beaufort on December 12. He was 88 years old.

Brantley was born in Walterboro on Aug. 14, 1930, the only child of W. Brantley and Thelma Lightsey Harvey.

Raised in Beaufort, Brantley graduated from Beaufort High School and attended the Citadel, where he was a member of L Company, served as Executive Officer of First Battalion and captain of the varsity swim team. He graduated magna cum laude both from the Cita-

William Brantley Harvey Jr. del in 1950 and from the University of South Carolina Law School in 1955. He served as a lieutenant in the United States Army at Ft. Bliss, Texas, from 1952-54. After law school, he

returned to Beaufort to practice law with his father in the firm Harvey and Harvey, now known as Harvey and Battey.

Like his father, Brantley served his county and state as an elected official for most of his professional life. He was elected to the South Carolina House of Representatives from Beaufort in 1958 and served in that capacity until 1975.

He worked tirelessly to bring small industry and technical education to the Lowcountry to prepare citizens for a changing workforce. Brantley chaired the House Ways and Means Committee, stewarding the state’s budget, and

worked to increase funding for K-12 public education. He also chaired the House Rules Committee. He was instrumental in securing funding for numerous local improvement projects in Beaufort County.

As Lt. Governor, Brantley continued to serve as an ambassador for the South Carolina business community, traveling on trade missions to Japan, Nigeria, Germany, Russia, and China. He represented the state at President Jimmy Carter’s inauguration and at a U.S. Bicentennial celebration hosted by the Republic of Ireland.

He ran for Governor in 1978.

After leaving statewide pub-

lic office in 1979, Brantley continued to serve on the Parks, Recreation and Tourism Commission, on the State Highway Commission and on the State Technical College Board. He was a leader in the Coastal Carolina Council of the Boy Scouts and was a champion of helping at-risk youth through the Associated Marine Institute, helping start the Beaufort Marine Institute (AMI Kids) in 1985. A lifelong musician, Brantley was a founding member and violinist in the Beaufort Chamber Orchestra. He served on numerous boards including AMI, AAA Carolinas, The Citadel Board of Trustees, The Cit-

adel Foundation Board, MUSC Heart and Vascular Board, and the Beaufort Symphony Orchestra Board of Directors. He also served on the Board of Governors and as President of the South Carolina Bar Association. He has been recognized for his dedication to the South Carolina Lowcountry through receipt of the Order of the Palmetto, the Lifetime of Achievement Award, the Beaufort Civitas Award, and many other state and local awards. He was awarded an honorary doctorate degree by the Citadel. Prior to her death in 2010, Brantley

Honoring Their Sacrifice More than 11,000 wreaths placed at Beaufort National Cemetery

Hundreds of U.S. veterans, their families and a host of volunteers squeezed into the Beaufort National Cemetery on Saturday, Dec. 15, to remember their fallen comrades at Christmas time by placing 11,007 wreaths on head stones.

Beaufort’s celebration of Wreaths Across America coincided with a national effort all over the country.

Representing the U.S. Marine Corps at the wreath laying ceremony were Col. Tim Miller, commanding officer of Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, Sgt. Austin Fletcher and Lance Cpl. Jade Martin.

Personalize Your Social Security Payout Strategy Only you can decide if claiming Social Security at age 62 or waiting to claim later makes more sense. Lifestyle and philanthropic intentions, marital and employment status, and gender are all factors.

When do you claim?

If you’re in a position to think through your Social Security claiming schedule, do it. It could mean thousands or tens of thousands to your annual retirement income.

Here’s your choice: You can start receiving monthly payouts at the qualifying age of 62 like many people. Or you can hold out for a bigger payout down the road.

It’s your call – and it could be a game-changer in retirement. Though an immediate

need for funds will usually trump other considerations, delaying Social Security for just eight years – until age 70 – could mean up to 30 percent more from Uncle Sam every month.

Some key considerations will likely factor into your claiming strategy.

What’s age got to do with it?

If 60 is the new 40, then 80 is the new 60. Longer life spans are only part of the story, though. The rest of it plays out every day in 21st-century lifestyle and retirement expectations, not to mention philanthropic intentions or plans to help out the family or grandchildren.

Along with modern realities, retirees’ multiple income

sources and investments are changing traditional Social Security claiming patterns.

It may make more sense to begin drawing funds from other income sources while delaying Social Security. Or you may even decide to put off retirement for a few years to make it possible.

What’s your claiming combo?

If you’re married or in a relationship, you’ll want to look at where you both stand in relation to retirement.

We’re talking “still working” versus “already retired.” Depending on your personal circumstances, a number of scenarios could apply, including: • Both spouses or partners wait until 70 to claim

• One spouse or partner claims early while the other waits • A lower-earning spouse claims a spousal benefit at or after full retirement age while deferring his or her own retirement benefit (available only to anyone born on or before May 1, 1950, from full retirement age through age 70) Your claiming strategy may be as unique as your financial circumstances and retirement outlook.

What’s your gender?

Longer life spans apply here, too. Women, on average, outlive men. Take gender into account in your claiming strategy. Look at

your gene pool, retirement expectations, and whether or not you’ll receive dependent Social Security benefits should you lose your spouse.

Give yourself the gift of planning ahead, especially as you approach Social Security eligibility, to help you get more from this valuable retirement income source.

Next steps • Decide on a Social Security claiming strategy that works for you.

• Write it down, revisit it occasionally, and tweak it whenever necessary.

and his wife Helen were jointly awarded honorary doctorate degrees by the University of South Carolina, the Rotary Bowl for Distinguished Civic Service, and honored with the naming of Harvey Park located in their Old Point neighborhood. Brantley was truly, as is the title of his memoir, a “Palmetto Patriot.”

Brantley’s Christian faith was central to his life. He and his family were members of First Presbyterian Church of Beaufort, where he taught Sunday School, served as an elder and deacon, and faithfully supported the church. He helped found the annual SC Legislative Prayer Breakfast and led Bible studies for his fellow legislators. He was a Director of the Salvation Army, serving as a volunteer bell ringer up until just a few years ago.

He served for over 30 years as a member of the Board of the Mustard Seed Foundation, his family’s Christian foundation.

A lifelong Beaufortonian, he was a key part of the city’s civic and social life.

He was a founding member of the Jean Ribaut Society, and enjoyed overseeing the family farm in Crocketville. He was an avid sailor, active in the many regattas at the Beaufort Yacht Club, and crewed on several ocean trips including from

New England to Bermuda. In addition to being on the water, his avocations were swimming, hunting, playing the violin, cooking, traveling, history, and celebrating with family and friends. Brantley never met a

ton for 58 years until her death in 2010. He is survived by his second wife, Alice DeForest Harvey; five children and their spouses, Eileen and Dennis Bakke, Bill and Martha Harvey, Helen and Tuck Laffitte, Margaret and Dan Thompson, and Warren and Cathy Harvey; 18 grandchildren and their spouses, and 13 great-grandchildren.

There was a family graveside service on Monday, Dec. 17, followed by a worship service celebrating his life at First Presbyterian Church of Beaufort and a reception following the service at the St. Helena Anglican Church Fellowship Hall. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial gifts be given to First Presbyterian Church of Beaufort, The Citadel Foundation, and Beaufort Symphony Orchestra.

Please share your thoughts and stories about Brantley by visiting www.copelandfuneralservice.com.

While I would not want to understate his role as a legislative leader and Lt Governor, what shines out most brightly to me was Brantley’s incredible commitment to service regardless of his formal stature or the many titles he deservedly earned through service to all.

Brantley Harvey

By Jane T. Upshaw Beaufort, the Lowcountry, and South Carolina lost an extraordinary citizen with the passing last Wednesday of Brantley Harvey. He had strong values and beliefs that molded him into an active servant for the common good, especially for education. He was an essential leader in support of the University of South Carolina Beaufort from its inception when he was in the House of Representatives. However, that support was never more evident than the day Brantley and Helen gave a $1 million gift to the then-two-year institution, some of which was designated to help build the new campus in Bluffton, some to help renovate the old Beaufort College Campus, and the remainder for scholarships.

His generosity did not end with that significant gift, it continued as USCB developed a public-private partnership with Beaufort and Jasper counties, local businesses, and private individuals to build an entire $40 million campus with an additional $10 million from Beaufort County for operating

money for the transition. The plan was predicated on the University’s Board of Trustees and the South Carolina Commission on Higher Education approving the change in role and mission of USCB to become the first new baccalaureate-degree-granting institution in the state in almost 40 years. Brantley traveled the state with Helen to garner support from the Trustees and then made an impassioned plea to the CHE to approve the plan, which they ultimately did. But his able leadership and deep commitment to increase educational opportunities for the citizens of this historically-underserved, geographically-isolated corner of South Carolina was a linchpin in the plan to show wide-spread support for the institution’s move to four-year status.

His support did not end with that effort either. He continued to be an ardent and faithful advocate for USCB’s continued growth and development over the last almost 20 years to increase the educational opportunities for the citizens right here in the Lowcountry. Whenever there was a cause, and USCB

needed him, the answer was always yes…. he was ready to help.

Brantley had strong opinions, which he expressed articulately and rationally.

Even when he disagreed with your position, he did so with that genuine smile that radiated warmth and caring. So, you always knew that civility was a necessity in dealing with all things Brantley. This world could certainly use more of Brantley’s civility today.

Yes, we lost a good one this past week — one who was revered and loved, respected and admired, esteemed and honored. He was a statesman and a leader with deep roots in the Lowcountry that led to extraordinary commitments to work for the greater good for all in Beaufort, the Lowcountry and South Carolina. We will miss him greatly. The greatest honor we can pay to Brantley Harvey’s memory is to become involved to move forward his legacy of commitment to the greater good, especially through education.

SCHOOLS

School Board approves additions at River Ridge, May River

The Beaufort County Board of Education last week approved using fiscal year 2021 “8 percent funds” to design and construct classroom additions planned for River Ridge Academy and also to design a two-story classroom addition planned for May River High School.

South Carolina law allows school districts to borrow up to 8 percent of their total assessed property value for school capital projects

without going to voters for a referendum. Eight percent financing was also used to construct May River High School and the competition gymnasium and performing arts center at Whale Branch Early College High School.

The board’s decision will allow design work, permitting and bidding of the River Ridge Academy addition to begin in January and be completed by November 2019. That would allow con-

struction to begin December 2019 and allow the additional classrooms to be available in time for the 2020-21 school year.

The approval to design, obtain permits for and bid the May River High addition might allow those classrooms to be available later in the 2020-21 academic year if the board were to later approve construction funds.

“The Board’s approval means that district staff can

now begin the design, construction permitting and bidding at River Ridge,” said district Chief Operations Officer Robert Oetting. “That will allow us to move forward quickly with the goal of having additional classrooms at River Ridge available in time for the 2020-21 school year.”

Both River Ridge and May River were originally designed to be expanded with additional classroom wings based on student enrollment

and the availability of funds.

The Bluffton area – particularly in the attendance zones served by River Ridge and May River – has seen dramatic growth in the past few years.

The Board also voted to authorize the superintendent to reassign students in newly developed neighborhoods from the overcrowded schools they normally would attend to schools with more classroom space. The overall concept was suggested by

parents who attended public forums earlier this fall.

New neighborhoods currently being developed in the Bluffton area would be some of the first neighborhoods to be considered for this type of school assignment. Any new assignments would be reviewed by the Board of Education prior to implementation.

The Board has not yet made any decisions on attendance zone changes for the 2019-20 school year.

School District earns clean audit TCL honors associate degree nursing graduates For the 19th consecutive year, the Beaufort County School District has earned an exemplary financial review from outside auditors.

The Greenville-based auditing firm of Elliott Davis told the Board of Education that it had found no weaknesses or deficiencies in the school district’s internal finan-

cial controls during the 201718 fiscal year and no findings of noncompliance with state or federal laws, the district announced in a release.

South Carolina state law requires all school districts to have their finances reviewed and analyzed each year by independent outside auditors.

From May through October, a

four-person team of Elliott Davis auditors reviewed the school district’s FY 2017-18 finances.

“Nineteen straight years of clean audits is a clear and strong message to our parents and taxpayers that the school district’s financial operations are run efficiently and effectively,” said Interim Superintendent Herb Berg.

Ribbon cut on new Whale Branch gym The Technical College of the Lowcountry recognized 18 associate degree nursing (ADN) graduates during its Dec. 14 pinning ceremony at the Beaufort Campus.

“The TCL nursing program in particular is rigorous but produces extremely qualified and successful graduates, giving them the confidence they need to excel in the nursing field,” nursing program director Dr. Mary Ann Jarmulowicz said. “We are so proud of this new class of nurses.”

During the ceremony, graduates receive their pins

and light lamps, 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, nearly 200 students have completed TCL’s associate degree in nursing program. TCL’s twoyear ADN program prepares graduates to practice as registered nurses. Students experience on-campus learning using high-tech simulation equipment and receive intense additional hands-on practice at clinical sites lo-

cated throughout Beaufort, Jasper, Hampton and Colleton counties.

The graduates are: Courtney Askew, Shenora Blackmon-Lofton, Melissa Bonds, Emily Bowen, Erica Craig, Lindsey Farrell, Laura Flanigan, Alyson Gatlin, Johnice Hawkins, Jake Hoffman, Laura Horle, Erin Hyatt, Taylor Long, Rachel Mole, Carla Pierce, Michelle Reed, Ca’Deidre Walker and Catherine Zelaya.

Visit www.tcl.edu/nursing to learn more about the program.

School, district and county leaders cut a ceremonial purple and gold ribbon and then were able to tour Whale Branch Early College High School’s new competition gymnasium on Friday.

Prior to the new gym’s opening, Whale Branch was the only high school in the district that did not have a competition and a practice gym.

Since the school opened in 2011, its four basketball teams have practiced and played their interscholastic games

in one small gymnasium, leading to practices that lasted well into the night. Wrestling matches were also held in the gym, leading to shortened or cancelled basketball practices.

Construction also is in the final stages for Whale Branch’s new performing artsstyle auditorium for student performances and classes.

Parents and community supporters had urged the district to build the addition since the high school opened six years ago. That facility is expected

to open in the spring of 2019.

“The new addition to Whale Branch has been a long time coming,” said Superintendent Herbert Berg.

“The school pride within this community is amazing.”

Principal Mona Lise Dickson and board members welcomed about 60 staff and community guests.

“It’s been a long time coming,” Dickson said. “This is a great day today where a wrong has been corrected for Warrior Nation and our Whale Branch community.”

Online applications now open for new students at Bridges Prep

CLOSED FOR 2 WEEKS!

There will be no delivery on Dec. 25th or Jan. 1st.

Look for new menus for Jan. 8th delivery!

Our meals are great for "On the go" professionals • Elderly singles or couples • People who love great taste but don't have time to eat out or shop and cook

Online applications for the highly-rated Bridges Preparatory School will be open through Jan. 31 for newly-enrolling students in grades K-12.

Bridges Prep, rated one of the top state charter schools based on state report cards issued last month, is a no-tuition school in Beaufort and Port Royal. The school serves more than 700 students with an active learning approach focused on science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

Construction is underway on a new school facility on Robert Smalls Parkway in Port Royal. Upper School students attend classes there in new, large modular classrooms. Students in grades 3-7 attend classes at 1100 Boundary Street while the youngest learners attend class on La-

dy’s Island – until a full new school is built in Port Royal.

Applications are taken online at www.bridgesprep.org.

Each new student applying for enrollment will be placed into a lottery for spots at Bridges Prep in 2019-20. To help and encourage families to apply, computer kiosks are available at all three Bridges Prep campuses – the main office at 1100 Boundary Street, K-12 at Celadon on Lady’s Island and the Upper School in Port Royal.

“What a time to be part of Bridges Prep,” said outgoing Board of Directors Chair Dee Matthews. “We are building our new school, we have a new Head of School who is a finalist for the South Carolina Principal of the Year, our state report card was good but with room for improve-

ment, and our families stay connected to the school in so many ways.”

In January, families already attending Bridges Prep will be asked to submit their letters of intent to return for the upcoming school year, and those students are guaranteed a spot. Newly-enrolling students will be chosen by lottery for available spots in each grade.

Students already on the wait list will retain their spot with new applicants lining up after them when a grade level has a wait list. Applications received after Jan. 31 won’t be included in the Feb. 15 lottery and will be wait-listed.

To apply, visit www.bridgesprep.org and go to “Apply” on the left-side navigation.

Online applications are available in English and Spanish.

The Scene of the Season Penn Center presents live nativity scene

Historic Penn Center presented its annual Nativity Scene on Sunday, Dec. 16, in the Frissell Community House.

According to Penn’s website, the play was originally called Penn School’s Mystery Play and performed at the center’s Darrah Hall. The play ran uninterrupted from 1916 to 1953.

The current adaptation was the creation of the late Agnes C. Sherman, who coordinated the production from 1971 through 1997.

Santa flies into Beaufort to greet kids at airport

While Rudolph and the rest of the reindeer were resting up in preparation for Christmas Eve, Santa asked pilots Jerry Hyde and Will Tucker to fly him into Beaufort on Sunday, Dec. 16, to meet some of his eager fans.

The big guy took a break from making his naughty and nice lists to zip into the Beaufort Airport for a meet and greet with neighborhood

children. Kids were able to take photos with Santa, inspect his bag of toys, and present him with cookies.

The Beaufort Aviation Association thanked the pilots, as well as Chuck Beach, Jean Sulc, Frieder Kemman, Scott Sanders, Bruce Harmer and Stephen Murray for their efforts and donations to help make the event a possibility.

YMCA Beach Ball Fundraiser set for Jan. 19 The Wardle Family YMCA will hold the Beaufort Beach Ball Fundraiser and Auction presented by Bank of America Merrill Lynch on Jan. 19 at the Walsh Palmetto Room at St. Peter’s Catholic Church on Lady’s Island.

Doors open at 6 p.m. for music and dancing with Deas Guyz, a silent auction, golf cart raffle, heavy hors d'oeuvres and a full tiki bar.

Event tickets are $65 each or $120 per couple in advance and $75 each at the door. They can be purchased at the YMCA in Port Royal (1801 Richmond Avenue) or online at beaufort-jas-

perymca.org. This year’s golf cart raffle was supplied by Sutcliffe Golf Cars and is a 2009 Yamaha model with head lights, flip back seat, new tires and batteries and comes in cheerful yellow. Golf cart raffle tickets are on sale now at the Y and at the event for $25 each and five for $100. The winner will be chosen at the Beaufort Beach Ball, but you do not need to be present to win.

The Beaufort Beach Ball volunteer committee has been working for over a year to throw the biggest beach bash yet. This year’s silent auction includes many wonderful

items, from a complete 3-ton HVAC system to a trip to the California wine country, as well as restaurant and spa gift certificates, a custom-crafted live edge walnut coffee table, sports equipment, airline tickets, Walt Disney World Park Hopper tickets, artwork and more. The online silent auction will open for preview Jan. 4 and online bidding will open Jan. 14. Bidding will close at 9:30 p.m. on Jan. 19 and winning bidders can pick up their items during the Beaufort Beach Ball or at the Y in Port Royal on Monday, Jan. 21, starting at 11 a.m.

This event is the only cap-

ital fundraiser for the Wardle Family Y and all proceeds will go toward a video surveillance system upgrade for the Wardle Family YMCA. “The safety of our members is a primary focus for the Y and this upgrade will provide security for everyone using the Y and especially for our children that attend Discovery Kids Preschool, summer camp and afterschool programs,” YMCA Executive Branch Director Kaylin Garst said. “Our facility must be safe, efficient and aesthetically pleasing or we cannot effectively run our programs.”

YMCA staff (l to r) Kaylin Garst, Lou Bergen and Jannie Cuevas are ready for the Beaufort Beach Ball Fundraiser & Auction with Deas Guyz! The beach-themed fundraiser is Saturday, Jan. 19 from 6-11 pm at the Walsh Palmetto Room (St. Peter’s Catholic Church). Photo provided.

WINE & DINE Time recipes, Dresden Stollen Christmas Bread. Try it you’ll love it!

DRESDEN CHRISTMAS STOLLEN RECIPE Prep time: 2 hours Cook time: 30 minutes Yields: 2 loaves INGREDIENTS 1 package (4oz.) active dry yeast ¼ cup warm water (110˚ F) 1 cup milk, scalded ½ cup butter, room temp ¼ cup granulated sugar 1 tsp. salt 1 tsp. cardamom 4 to 4 ½ cups all-purpose flour ¾ cup raisins ½ cup candied fruit (I use pineapple and cherry) 2 tsp. chopped orange zest 1 tsp. chopped lemon zest ½ cup chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts or pecans) Powdered Sugar Icing (recipe below) INSTRUCTIONS

By Sharon Cooper Stollen is a German fruit bread of nuts, spices, and dried or candied fruit, coated with powdered sugar or icing sugar.

It is a traditional German bread eaten during the Christmas season.

Dresden Stollen, a moist, heavy bread filled with fruit, was first mentioned in an official document in 1474, and remains notable and available at the Dresden Christmas market, the Striezelmarkt. Dresden Stollen is produced in the city of Dresden and distinguished by a special seal depicting

King Augustus II the Strong.

This “official” Stollen is produced by only 150 Dresden bakers.

Every year Stollenfest takes place in Dresden on the Saturday before the second Sunday in Advent. This historical tradition ended only in 1918 with the fall of the monarchy and started again in 1994.

The cake weighs between 3 and 4 tons. A carriage takes the cake in a parade through the streets of Dresden to the Christmas market, where it is ceremoniously cut into pieces and distributed among the

crowd, for a small sum which goes to charity.

Early Stollen was different, with the ingredients being flour, oats and water. As a Christmas bread stollen was baked for the first time at the Council of Trent in 1545, and was made with only flour, yeast, oil and water. The Advent season was a time of fasting, and bakers were not allowed to use butter, only oil, and the cake was tasteless and hard. In the 15th century, in medieval Saxony, the Prince Elector Ernst (1441–1486) and his brother Duke Albrecht (1443–1500) de-

cided to remedy this by writing to the Pope. The Saxon bakers needed to use butter, as oil in Saxony was expensive, hard to come by, and had to be made from turnips. Pope Nicholas V (1397–1455), in 1450 denied the first appeal. Five popes died before finally, Pope Innocent VIII, (1432–1492) in 1490, sent a letter to the Prince, known as the “Butter-Letter” which granted the use of butter (without having to pay a fine), but only for the Prince-Elector and his family and household.

This is one of my favorite and delicious Christmas

In a medium size bowl, soften yeast in ¼ cup warm water, add a teaspoon of sugar. Cover with plastic wrap and ferment approximately 20 minutes until the sponge is very foamy.

In a large bowl, combine the warm scalded milk, butter, sugar, salt and cardamom; let cool to luke warm. When cool, mix in 2 cups flour and beat well. Add yeast (sponge) mixture and egg, beating well. Stir in raisins, candied fruit, orange and lemon zest and nuts. Add enough additional flour to make a soft but not sticky dough.

On a floured surface, knead

the dough until smooth, approximately 8 to 10 minutes.

Lightly oil a large bowl. Add dough, turning to coat entire surface. Let rise until doubled’ approximately 1 to 2 hours (depending on how warm your room is).

After the dough has risen, punch down the dough and place onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 2 parts depending on how large you want your stollens. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.

Roll each dough piece into a 10 x 6 inch rectangle and fold lengthwise to within one inch of the opposite side. Place dough on prepared baking sheet, cover, and let rise until almost doubled in volume, approximately 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Grease a large heavy baking sheet.

After dough has risen, bake approximately 20 to 3 0 minutes or until golden brown.

Remove from oven and transfer to wire rack and cool slightly.

Makes 2 loaves.

While still warm, spread the Powdered Sugar Icing over the top of the stollen. Decorate with candied fruit and chopped nuts. Serve warm or at room temperature.

POWDERED SUGAR ICING 1 cup powdered sugar 2 teaspoons hot water 2 teaspoons butter, room temp In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar, hot water and butter until smooth.

Bubbles from Burgundy

By Celia Strong Sparkling wines are made all around the world, from almost every grape variety.

The most famous bubbly, of course, is Champagne, which come only from that region of France, but that’s only one category of sparkling wine. We can find sparkling Celia Strong wines in multiple categories, styles and price ranges to take care of whatever our needs might be.

In the Burgundy region of France, the sparkling wines go under the appellation “Crémant de Bourgogne.”

Burgundy has a long history of making sparkling wines.

Even 150 years ago, they had a tradition of making some of their greatest, and most expensive, red wines sparkle. In 1827, a million bottles of sparkling red Burgundy were sold.

(Needless to say, these had no resemblance to what is labeled sparkling burgundy today.) During the 20th century, sparkling white Burgundies, known then as Crémant, were still produced but not very well-known. Beginning with the 21st century, several producers started paying more

attention to their Crémants and pushed for better quality sparkling wines.

The name “crémant” comes from the French word for “creamy” and refers to the creamy foam that forms as the wine is poured. These wines have about half the pounds of air pressure per square inch as Champagne, so they are slightly less bubbly and easier to consume. Crémants are made in white and rosé only, no more reds. The main two varieties of Burgundy — Chardonnay and Pinot Noir — can both be used in its production as well as small amounts of Aligoté, Gamay, and Pinot Blanc. Obviously, the better growing areas for grapes, and the use of Burgundy’s two best varieties, make for better wines. And, not only do Crémants have half the bubbles of Champagne, they are half the price or less. Almost all Crémants from Burgundy are Brut.

Crémants de Bourgogne are perfect for many occasions and meals. Of course, as an apéritif and in sparkling cocktails with a splash of a favorite liqueur or fruit. But they also do well with poultry and seafood — stewed, baked, or fried — as well as with pâtés, cheeses like aged

Gouda and cheddar, Gruyère and other Swiss, double and triple cremes like Brie and Delice de Bourgogne and mild blue cheeses. Not to mention cream sauces and stewed fruits. The list could be endless.

Simonnet-Febvre is our first Crémant. This producer is located in Chablis, in the very northern part of the Burgundy region, where superb Chardonnay grapes grow.

The soil is limestone and clay.

They have made sparkling wines for centuries, using traditional methods and grapes.

Today, Simonnet-Febvre is the only producer in Chablis to make a crémant. This wine is 60 percent Chardonnay and 40 percent Pinot Noir.

It is a light gold color with fine, long-lasting bubbles. Its foam, the creamy thing it’s named for, is persistent. Fresh and powerful, the aromas and flavors include apples, pears, lemons, quince, floral notes and a hint of toast. For $17.99.

Our second is JJ Vincent Crémant de Bourgogne.

This producer is based in the southern part of the Burgundy region, near Pouilly-Fuissé, another source for great Chardonnay grapes, with soils of limestone, clay and pebbles. The grapes

are hand-picked, as early as possible, to preserve their minerality and acidity, two important components in a dry sparkling wine. This wine is 100 percent Chardonnay, shown in its freshness and

crispness. It is light and clean with floral notes, white fruit aromas and flavors and very fine bubbles. (At the winery, since this is a relatively new wine for them, they counted the beads in their glasses —

1.5 million in thirty minutes.

Hopefully they counted in one glass and sipped from another while they did the count!). For $19.99. Enjoy!

VOICES

A walk along Hadrian’s Wall

By Scott Graber Thirty years ago my son and I used to hike in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Asheville, North Carolina. In those long-gone days a favorite hike began at Graveyard Fields and went west to Black Balsam Knob and ended at Shining Rock — a huge piece of quartzite.

Scott On those Graber hikes, in an effort to lend even more drama to that breathtaking, spectacular topography, I would point to a distant lake and say, “Flaminius and his legionnaires marched along that lake, right there, not knowing that Hannibal and his Carthaginians were in the hills above that lake.”

“I don’t see any Carthaginians,” Zach would reply.

“Look hard, son, they’re down there…”

Eventually our hikes ended, but those long-forgotten conversations came back into focus with “The Marches,” a book by Rory Stewart about his hike along Hadrian’s Wall with his father. The notion of a similar hike — with my own son — was nourished by a subsequent conversation with Zach in a bar on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.

“Let’s go,” he said. “Let’s go next week.”

“I’m not sure I can get away that soon,” I replied.

“Come on, Dad,” he replied.

“I’ll buy the tickets and make the reservations along the Wall.”

And so two weeks later we found ourselves walking along a wall — once 15 feet high and now diminished — talking about Hadrian and his need for a public works project that would keep his constituents happy.

“Most of the emperors began as generals, Caesar is a

good example, and they kept their folks happy by winning campaigns and bringing home loot,” I said as we struggled up Sewingshield’s Crag. “But Hadrian didn’t have a taste for war. He was in the business of consolidation. He decided on an 80-mile long wall that would keep the ‘barbarians’ (Scotland) out of Roman England.”

“But most of his people, the folks back in Rome, would never actually see this wall,” Zach replied.

“True,” I said. “But the soldiers who built the wall would go home, tell their stories, and who knows, they might even exaggerate, embellish what they had done.”

While Roman Army “regulars” built the wall, it was actually manned by Auxiliary Legions who had been recruited from all over the Empire. The troops at Chesters Fort (our first day) were Spanish calvary; those at Housesteads (second day) were Belgian; and there were others

from Germany, Iraq, Syria and North Africa. The Auxiliaries were not Roman citizens, but if they served 25 years they would earn citizenship for themselves, their wives and children. They would also earn a metal “passport” that would give them the opportunity to travel throughout the Empire.

Despite a 15-foot high wall, and a 9-foot deep “fighting ditch” in front of the wall, the Roman strategy wasn't entirely defensive. When blue-painted tribesmen approached, the Romans would send their Auxiliaries through the MileCastle sally ports to fight the invaders head on. While the infantry engaged and held the barbarians in place, calvary from the MileCastles east or west would flank the attackers. This tactic proved successful and there is only one recorded case of northerners breaching the wall.

Our plan was to walk about 10 to 12 miles every day — I’m 73 years old — stopping often

at forts, ruins and towers and drinking in the history and sugar-infused liquids. We spent our nights at bunk houses and pubs where we hoped there would be a good local ale and bangers and mash. We also hoped there would be conversation. We were not disappointed. These discussions began with “Where are you from?”

“And why are you doing this?,” they would then ask. But it wouldn't take long for one of our new friends to ask, “And how many shotguns do you own?”

“Actually, I don’t own any shotguns, or firearms of any kind…”

“But Dad,” Zach said, “what about the pistol that’s on the mantle?”

I explained that my wife’s great grandfather, Joseph Reid, had been a courier in the Civil War and we had his pistol. “But it doesn’t work.”

Eventually one of our new companions would say,

“And your Mr. Trump. He has certainly stirred up the pot.”

And we would pivot from Publius Aelius Hadrian to Donald J. Trump and his determination to build his own pubic works project.

“And what about this Brexit business?,” we would say. “It seems to me that you’re in the process of building your own wall between the UK and the rest of Europe.”

Hadrian feared the Scots 2,000 years ago. Today, Trump worries about Hondurans and our English friends worry about Brussels and the EU. But sometimes fear dissipates and walls come down, like in Berlin, or become windows into past fears, like the Great Wall of China.

Or sometimes they become great places to walk and talk with your children.

A small church's big mission bringing comfort to Paradise

By Bill Rauch This may be deep blue Northern California, where all the men wear beards, locally-grown pot is purveyed in local “commissaries,” and the black-tail deer will practically eat out of your hand because it’s been so long since someone took a shot at one, but where is the place the desperate people who lost everything in the recent murderous Camp Fire turn for help?

And who are the people who give their days and nights — day after day, and night after night — to helping the mostly total strangers who are their neighbors in Paradise, California, the city next door?

They are The Magalia Pines Baptist Church in Magalia, California, and its several hundred parishioners.

The more things change the more they stay the same.

Oh yes, the Town of Magalia suffered much damage from the fire, too, but Magalia is open. Trailers, RVs, pop-ups and campers abound in the driveways of burned out houses there. The convenience store, the sports bar, the pizza parlor, the bank and the post office are

all open for business. For most everything else, go down to the church. They’ll have it there.

And you can’t beat the price.

“We’re feeding a couple hundred people a day, giving out clothes, firewood, horse feed, truckloads of water, bedrolls and sleeping bags, sifters, rakes and Bill shovels, and Rauch I don’t know what all else,” Magalia Pine’s amiable Pastor Doug Crowder says. “We haven’t bought any of it. Not a penny. The Lord provides it. It just comes in.”

A full month after the fire consumed most of the City of Paradise, it was only last weekend that the residents there were permitted back into the city to begin to sift through its ashes for their belongings. Before that they had to content themselves with going on the Butte County Sheriff’s Office’s website to view street-bystreet drone footage of what might have been left of the house and the other property they left behind as they fled.

Still, because the city has yet

no streetlights and only sporadic electricity — and to prevent looting — Paradise’s residents are still not permitted to overnight on their properties.

Paradise closes at sundown.

So where do its residents go?

Next door to Magalia, or down the hill to Chico.

Churches, in particular Baptist churches, traditionally and commendably step up after disasters. That was true after Hurricane Katrina in Long Beach, Mississippi, when and where Beaufort and especially the Baptist Church of Beaufort stepped up and helped.

After Beaufort “adopted” Long Beach 13 years ago, the Baptist Church of Beaufort put on a November Harvest Festival for the people of Long Beach, and at Christmas, the Baptist Church of Beaufort family brought a wrapped present down to Mississippi for every child in town. There was more, but you get the picture.

To be fair — and nondenominational — others in Beaufort stepped up, too. The parishioners of what was then St. Helena Episcopal Church, for example, very discreetly practically fully financed the

rebuilding of Long Beach’s Episcopal Church. And the list goes on from there.

Disaster-goers like to say, “Disasters bring out the best in the best, and the worst in the worst,” and while that may be so, it is also true that as the world changes, those changes are reflected in the way the post-disaster community faces the tasks before it.

Thirteen years ago, for example, Facebook was just gaining its foothold in our lives. But today social media is replacing the corner store and the water cooler and even the telephone as the way we receive news of personal events.

So it should be no surprise that Facebook is a presence in post-disaster Paradise.

Just like the fire itself, everyone has a different version of just how it started, but the “Butte County Fire Victims Adopt a Family” Facebook page is where many of those dealing day-to-day with the fire’s destructive aftermath have also found help.

A single man in his 60s whose Paradise apartment burned to the ground was “adopted” via the page by a

divorced woman in her 30s with three children. A Paradise family with 13 horses was adopted via the page by a nearby Smartsville family who offered to stable their horses for free and provide a hook-up for the displaced family’s RV. Another man got a pick-up and some carpenter’s tools so he can get back to work. And there are countless examples of children whose Christmas will be brighter because their family and friends put up on the Adopt-a-Family page the childrens’ letters to Santa. Strangers (known locally as “angels”) from as far away as Italy have one-by-one contacted these families and arranged to send just the right things.

The page is so successful that a group in Magalia has put up their own page, Adopt Magalia, specifically as a place Magalia people can go to find help from their neighbors and beyond. Also last week the Magalia Pines Baptist Church revived its Facebook page.

Followers there have rocketed from eight to 4,000 over the past several days.

“I don’t know,” Pastor Crowder observes. “I was never

a big Facebooker. But there we were in the sanctuary, 37 of us, with the fire all around us (the church made it through the fire with little damage) and yes we prayed and prayed, but we wanted news too. We needed to know what was happening out there. The cell phones didn’t work. The church’s landline didn’t work. But we could always get Facebook. I don’t know where it came from. Magic? Witchcraft? Or God!” Facebook won more converts that awful day a month ago, converts that now include Pastor Crowder.

“As I have talked to people I have learned that it was from Facebook that more than a few were made aware of the fire’s approach to our town,” he explained.

“It saddens me to say it, but people trust Facebook more than they trust government,” he added quietly before heading out into a rainy afternoon to personally grease the wheels of the generous machine his church family has in these desperate times become.

VOICES

The old yellow blanket

The other day I was up in our attic pulling out my plastic bins filled with Christmas decorations. As I finished hauling them out, I discovered an old black trunk hidden under the eaves. It had been my daughter’s when she was in college. It came into my possession when she was moving into her first house. She did not want the old black trunk, but I decided it was the perfect container to store her old scrapbooks, trophies, and photo albums from when she was growing up. The trunk was moved from several houses and finally stored behind the Christmas boxes. It was time to drag it out and see what was in it.

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 lives on St. Helena Island and enjoys boating, traveling and reading.

During these cold evenings when our rescue dog Brandy is lying on her own blanket in front of our fireplace, I think about those dogs. I like to think that there is one happy dog sleeping on my daughter’s old yellow blanket.

As I sat there in front of the trunk, unloading all her memorabilia, I found three of her baby blankets. Two of them had been crocheted by friends and I did not want to get rid of them until

she had children. (Obviously, those grandbabies never saw the pink and blue blankets.) But the old yellow blanket with the lions on it had no real value to anyone, except me. It was the

blanket I once held my new born daughter in. But it was time to clean out the trunk and let the yellow blanket go.

I decided to donate it to the SPCA, knowing with the cold

weather upon us they would probably need some blankets.

It was better than having it sit in an old trunk.

When my daughter was in town during the Thanksgiving Holiday, she spotted the old yellow blanket.

“My blanket!,” she exclaimed. “Why is it in the trunk of your car?”

“Do you want it?” I asked.

“It’s 40 years old and has been sitting in your old trunk for 19 years.”

“No, not really,” she said.

“But what are you going to do with it?”

I explained to her about the local SPCA’s wishlist and the animals that need blankets. I

also showed her the old bedspread and down comforter below the yellow blanket. I was sending those over, too. She said that she had some older linens at home that could go to the animal shelter in her area. She had not thought of donating them. I suggested she check her local shelter’s web page because they might have a different wishlist of their own, including dog bowls and food.

During these cold evenings when our rescue dog Brandy is lying on her own blanket in front of our fireplace, I think about those dogs. I like to think that there is one happy dog sleeping on my daughter’s old yellow blanket.

Catholic?

Come Home!

Maybe you have been away from the Catholic Church for a little while, or for a long time. Maybe you have felt a tug at your heart, the Lord inviting you to come back. This is a wonderful time of the year to say yes to this loving invitation from God. No matter how long you have been away, you are part of our Catholic family and we have missed you! We are your brothers and sisters in Christ, and we want to help welcome you home!

Despite the human brokenness of his followers, Jesus is still working through his Church today. He wants to forgive you, nourish you, and strengthen you in your journey with him. Like the loving Father in the story of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15), Jesus is waiting for you and can’t wait to joyfully welcome you home!

Sacrament of Reconciliation Come experience the Lord’s mercy! Special opportunities will be offered for the Sacrament of Reconciliation in the main church. Even if it has been decades, the priest will help you and rejoice with you as you experience the Lord’s forgiveness and mercy.
