COVERING BEAUFORT COUNTY

100 Women Who Care Beaufort kicks off another year of supporting charities

By Kat Walsh Once upon a time, 100 women got together and decided to make Beaufort a better place.

Four times a year, in the basement of the Education Building of First Presbyterian Church in Beaufort, 100 (or more) women gather for an hour to change our community through the power of collective philanthropy.

They’ve been meeting since 2015 and, in that relatively short time period, they’ve raised $240,405 for non-profit organi-

zations in Northern Beaufort County. That number bears repeating: 100 women have raised almost a quarter of a million dollars for local charities. And that’s the whole point of — and power behind — 100 Women Who Care, a nationwide organization based on the simple concept of bringing women together to make a large impact on their community.

Bringing 100 Women to Beaufort The Beaufort Chapter of

100 Women Who Care was founded in January 2015 by Jeneane Ryan. She had been a founding member of the Naperville, Illinois, branch and, when she moved to Beaufort in 2014, knew that it was an idea she needed to bring to her new hometown — especially after she discovered there were no chapters of the organization in South Carolina.

“I will always fondly remember the first meeting of 100 Women Who Care

Beaufort,” Ryan says. “Two of my friends came down from Naperville to help and, sitting around my kitchen table that morning, we placed our guesses of how many women would show up. I said I would be happy with 30. My friend guessed 60, which I said would have been incredible.

Well, 105 women joined that night, and 20 more followed within the week. To say I was beyond thankful, awe-

providing a visual legacy of the struggle for equal rights throughout the South during this tumultuous time.

Lucas died in a car accident in 1980. His photographs were preserved and archived

by Jane Hearn, his wife at the time of his death. Hearn, currently a Beaufort resident, curated this traveling exhibition that premiered at the 50th anniversary of Freedom Summer held by the Veterans of the Civil Rights Movement

Beaufort Elementary School was placed on lockdown by law enforcement while officers served a warrant in the surrounding neighborhood on the morning of Monday, Feb. 11.

The Beaufort County School District reported that students and staff were safe and secure in the building, and there was an extra Beaufort Police Department presence as a precaution while officers from Gecoby the BPD, the Daise U.S. Marshals Southeastern Regional Fugitive Task Force (SERFTF), the S.C. Department of Probation and Pa- Gerard role (SC PPP), Daise and a Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office K-9 Unit served an arrest warrant at a nearby residence.

The lockdown was lifted about two hours later and the school resumed normal operations.

Officers were searching the residence at 1715 Prince St. for Gecoby Daise, 16, who was wanted for attempted murder in connection with a Dec. 27 shooting in the northwest quadrant of Beaufort in which he allegedly fired a handgun at an adult male victim.

The victim, who was uninjured, positively identified Da-

A

n exhibition of 50 historic photographs by documentary photographer Jim Lucas — A Past That Won’t Rest: Images of the Civil Rights Movement in Mississippi — will be on display from Feb. 26 through March 17 at the University of South Carolina Beaufort (USCB) Center for the Arts Gallery at 801 Carteret Street.

“A Past That Won’t Rest: Images of the Civil Rights Movement in Mississippi” is a collection of black and white photographs depicting icon-

ic events of the Civil Rights Movement, taken by the late Jim Lucas between 1964 and 1968. These beautifully shot and meticulously restored images capture the courage and persistence of those who organized to overcome educational and economic oppression. The photos are a testament to the Ku Klux Klan's rampant violence and murderous attacks on African Americans, Jewish members of the community, and white people who dared to speak out against Jim Crow laws.

eive rec

In 1964, Lucas was a college student in Jackson, Mississippi, and a young practicing photojournalist when Freedom Summer exploded. He found himself in the middle of events that would command the attention of the world.

He had an instinctive eye for framing shots that visually told the story and he became a freelance photographer for Time, Life (magazine), and the Associated Press.

As stated by Marian Wright Edelman, “Jim Lucas had extraordinary, un-

usual access on the ground in Mississippi. For those of us who were there, the moments he captured are a powerful, sometime painful, priceless gift.”

Through his artistry, Lucas’ work documents the search for three missing civil rights workers in Neshoba County, the Meredith March Against Fear, and Sen. Robert F. Kennedy’s visit to the Mississippi Delta, among others. His evocative photographs captured a human sensibility and sensitivity,

Kitchen Fires Damage Two Homes in Four Days The Burton Fire District and Beaufort/Port Royal Fire Department responded to two house fires caused by unattended cooking in a span of four days.

Just after 8 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 8, firefighters responded to a kitchen fire on Providence Road. The resident said smoke was filling her home and that she “could hear popping.” The resident told 911 dispatchers that she was evacuating but her two dogs were still inside.

Burton Fire Engineer Nick D’Angelo, who was driving the first arriving fire apparatus, stated that when they turned onto Providence Road, a blanket of smoke was banked down over the street, and black smoke was pouring from the front door.

Firefighters entered the home and extinguished the fire in the kitchen and rescued the two dogs that were inside the home. The dogs were examined by Beaufort County Emergency Medical Services per-

sonnel, who also responded, and were found healthy and released back to the resident.

The fire was caused by unattended cooking. The home sustained heavy fire damage to the kitchen area and smoke damage throughout the home. The resident was displaced but able to stay with friends.

Just before 1:30 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 11, Burton and Beaufort/Port Royal firefighters were called to the scene of a house fire on Second

Street in Polk Village. Firefighters found the residents safely on the lawn but smoke coming from the home. The home had a working smoke alarm.

Firefighters entered the home and located a fire in the kitchen and quickly extinguished the blaze.

Fire damages were limited to the kitchen area, but the home suffered smoke damages throughout. No injuries were reported but the residents were displaced. Red Cross

was notified.

The fire was caused by unattended cooking on the stove. Fire officials state the home had three fire extinguishers but the resident did not know how to use them.

Cooking fires are the leading cause of fires nationally and locally.

Fire officials stress the importance of every home having a fire extinguisher and that all family members are familiar with how to use it, especially elderly family members.

According to the United States Fire Administration, cooking fires kill hundreds of people every year and cause more than 3,000 injuries annually. The occurrence of cooking fires peaks nationally between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. and these types of fires are more prevalent during the colder months.

The Burton Fire District provides free fire extinguisher training to any group, business, organization, or family. For more information email safetyed@burtonfd.org.

Coastal Community Foundation increases reach in Beaufort area he Coastal Community Foundation, a philanthropic organization serving coastal South Carolina, has announced that 89 organizations across Beaufort, Colleton, Hampton and Jasper counties received grants from The Beaufort Fund in 2018, a 50 percent increase from the previous year.

James Since it was es- Black tablished in 1998, The Beaufort Fund Grant Program has distributed $9.3 million to organizations in the southern Lowcountry region. Now in its 21st year, the fund’s impact is expanding.

For the 2018 grant cycle, the foundation restructured its selection process to provide more opportunities for organizations of all types and sizes to access the fund-

A2

FEBRUARY 14-20, 2019

ing. Three categories were created to suit the needs of small, large and first-time applicants — an approach that allowed the foundation to evaluate organizations that are similar in fiscal scope, life cycle and programmatic impact. In the past, all applicants competed for the same pool of funds.

As a result, the foundation was able to award funds to 30 more organizations than in 2017. The 89 grantees in 2018 received a combined $704,600.

“We saw the need to ensure organizations of all scopes and sizes were given equal opportunities to compete for funding,” said Program Officer Veronica Hemmingway, who leads The Beaufort Fund Grant Program. “We now have new organizations that weren’t in the mix before, and that’s what we want.”

The program area is mostly rural, so nonprofits in these communities typically have a limited donor pool to draw support from.

However, they’re often serving some of the greatest needs in the region. For decades, the Beaufort Fund has helped sustain these essential programs.

Camp Wildwood Summer Day Camp, for instance, is the only program in Hampton, Allendale, Colleton and Jasper counties that provides a fully-staffed public pool where children can learn how to swim. It’s a critical skill in a region surrounded by water, but it’s not one that’s taught in public schools in these counties.

“We’ve been doing this for going on 27 years, and I believe that we have made a great difference in the amount of water-related accidents in this area,” said Camp Wildwood

Executive Director James Black, adding it’s largely possible because of the annual support of the Beaufort Fund. “Over the years, it’s been like the lifeblood of the program, financially.”

Improving education in coastal South Carolina is one of the three top priorities identified in the foundation’s Civic Engagement Agenda and will be a central focus for the foundation’s work moving forward.

The Civic Engagement Agenda was created last year to identify and direct resources to key issues facing the nine coastal counties in the foundation’s service area. The process involved small group discussions with more than 500 residents along the coastline, and the top three issues that emerged were access to economic opportunity, education and affordable places and inclusive spaces.

“The whole concept of the organization is really amazing — an effective, impactful way to make a difference,” says chapter leader Laura Riski.

There is no committee work, no soliciting, no selling.

You simply attend a one-hour meeting four times a year, listen to three short presentations on local charities, vote on which one to support, and write a check directly to that chosen charity for $100.

The most recent recipient of the group’s efforts — Circle of Hope Ministries — was announced at the group’s first meeting of 2019.

The “Church Without Walls” Finds A Home … with Walls Pastor John C. Dortch, the founder of the Circle of Hope Ministries, greets everyone

he meets with a hug. “I’m a hugger,” he smiles. Indeed, he’s made it his life’s work to embrace, physically and otherwise, those who need it most.

For the past five years, Circle of Hope, a portable ministry nicknamed “The Church without Walls,” has been working with the homeless — particularly homeless vet-

erans — of Northern Beaufort County. In the past year alone, Pastor Dortch and his ministry team have worked with 87 homeless individuals, a significant accomplishment, but only a small fraction of the problem. A survey conducted by the Beaufort County Alliance counted 4,000 homeless people in Beaufort County.

“Every day, someone knocks on my door who is hurting,” Pastor Dortch says.

“One of our real challenges is that affordable housing is an issue here. Where can people go when they’re ready to move on with their lives?”

The answer? Build it yourself. And that’s exactly what Circle of Hope is doing at 1816 Boundary Street. The new 12bed facility, the only one of its kind in Beaufort County, will provide transitional housing and wrap-around support

services to help homeless veterans get back on their feet. And with the help of 100 Women Who Care, and many other generous donors and organizations, it will open before the end of the month.

Together We Are Stronger The efforts of 100 WWCB go above and beyond writing a check.

“Because our members are engaged with the organizations they support, they get interested in the cause and, often, find something they really want to become involved in on the ground and start volunteering,” says Riski. “It’s a circle for us as well.”

In 2018, a book by the same name was published by the University Press of Mississippi and accompanies the exhibit with more than 50 additional photographs, as well as scholarly essays that frame the history and context of the civil rights era. Copies of the book will be available at the opening reception and are also available for purchase at Nevermore Books, 702 Craven Street in Beaufort.

Gallery hours are Monday-Friday, 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., and during evening events at the Center. An opening reception and book sign-

ise and an arrest warrant was issued, according to BPD. Daise was located and arrested without incident. During the arrest, 19-year-old Gerard Daise was located within the residence and was also arrested for an outstanding warrant for probation violation. A search of the residence by SC PPP agents uncovered four handguns, three of which were reported stolen, a large quantity of marijuana, and body armor.

As he is being charged as an adult, Gecoby Daise was transported to the Beaufort County Detention Center.

Gerard Daise was arrested by SC PPP agents for probation violation.

BUSINESS USCB Schedules Information Sessions for Saturday Business Degree Plan The University of South Carolina Beaufort is preparing to enroll its next cohort of students in the Saturday Business Degree Plan, a unique path to a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration that enables non-traditional students to complete course requirements largely by attending classes on Saturdays.

Attending Saturday classes allows students to focus on work and family during the week. Highly interactive classroom sessions foster engagement and encourage adult learners to share real-world experiences. Students advance from class to class as a cohort and may earn a bachelor’s degree in less than two years, although most require more

time to graduate. To qualify, students must have attained 30 credits at an accredited college or university. As an added plus, residents of Chatham, Effingham and Bryan counties in Georgia pay the less costly in-state tuition.

“The program was developed to give an additional level of access to individuals wanting to earn a business degree,” says Dr. Peter E. Swift, a senior instructor of Business Management and coordinator of the Saturday Business Degree Plan. “With its complete business-management approach, the curriculum emphasizes leadership, business operations, ethics, social responsibility and strategic thinking.

Dataw announces partnership

Dataw Island has announced a new partnership with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Bay Street Realty Group.

BHHS Bay Street Realty Group will join Dataw Island’s Joint Marketing Agreement as an equal partner alongside longstanding partner ERA Evergreen beginning in March.

The two teams will work cooperatively to promote Dataw Island.

Dataw Marketing, along with both boards, have been evaluating options for the Dataw Island Sales & Welcome Center and in the fall reached out to all the qualified agencies with an RFP to invite conversation and begin the search for an outfit that would best serve the interests of Dataw Island owners.

“We received several proposals from area agencies

who were all well-qualified,” said Dataw’s Marketing Director Laura McCarthy, “but the Berkshire Hathaway Home Services brand, combined with the dynamic marketing program and sophisticated lead management in place at BHHS Bay Street Realty Group really set them apart from the rest. Plus, their agents have a proven track record in successfully selling lifestyle communities, which was an absolute must for us during our review process.”

Reasons for Faith

Shells in the Sand Why Is There Order in the Universe?

On the beach, seashells are normally scattered here and there.

But imagine walking on the beach and finding that an area of sand is clear of shells, except for some lined up in particular shapes.

Getting closer, we see that the shells form the pattern, 3 x 3 = 9.

We would naturally conclude that this order did not happen by chance; someone had picked up the shells and arranged them not only to form symbols we can recognize, but also in a way that makes mathematical sense.

Why is the universe ordered, instead of chaotic?

On the beach, we would expect to find the shells randomly distributed, without any order we could identify. It would have been reasonable to expect the universe to exhibit a similar lack of order. After all, if the universe began in an initial, violent explosion from a single point, might we not expect it to act in a random, unpredictable manner? Thankfully, this is not the case.

The universe operates under recognizable, predictable laws.

All scientific work is based on the assumption that the universe operates under laws that remain constant across time and space.

For example, the laws of gravity and motion apply throughout the universe and in all time periods. Thus, we can plan to fly in an airplane, trusting that gravity and motion will function the same tomorrow and in each place we travel.

There is a mystery here, unexplainable by science on its own.

Since science is the study of the material world, it can help us discover and better understand the laws of nature. But science cannot explain why there are these laws to begin with. Why is the universe ordered? Why are nature’s laws such that we can not only recognize them, but also express them mathematically?

The order of the universe calls for an explanation.

In our seashell analogy, it is reasonable to expect that someone with an intellect purposefully arranged the shells in this organized and mathematical manner. Similarly, it is reasonable to observe the order built into our universe and conclude that the laws of nature were arranged by an intellect vastly superior to our own. Christians believe that God created the universe with its order, intending for us to understand the laws of nature and rely upon them.

The order and beauty of the universe reflects the majesty of its creator.

These laws can even be expressed as mathematical realities.

Amazingly, not only can we recognize the laws of nature, but they can also be expressed with mathematical precision. For example, Einstein’s famous equation describes how energy (“E”) equals mass (“m”) times the speed of light (“c”) squared. It is quite remarkable that important laws of nature can be effectively represented in simple and elegant mathematical formulas, allowing us to put them to practical use.

FROM FISHING TO FOOTBALL, THE HARD WORK OF ATHLETES OF ALL AGES DESERVES RECOGNITION

BHS’ Lowther named Region 7-4A Coach of the Year Beaufort High’s first-year boys basketball coach was honored by his peers in the Region 7-4A basketball awards announced last week.

Eagles coach Will Lowther was voted the region Coach of the Year after leading BHS to a 10-15 record during the regular season just one year after the Eagles won only two games.

“It is an honor to win this award in our first year here at Beaufort High,” Lowther said.

“This award is a reflection of our players buying in and committing to our coaching staff and what we are trying to create with boys basketball here.”

Colleton County’s Bailey Encalade earned Player of the Year honors and was joined on the All-Region team by teammates Stephen Gadson and Antwan Griffin.

Beaufort’s Trae Heyward and Jamaad Rivers, Bluffton’s Lee Kirkland and Donovan Raines, and Hilton Head’s Davis Molloy and Gaston Moore also made the All-Region team.

Hilton Head High’s region champion girls swept the top honors, as Trinity Feltner was named girls Player of the Year and Seahawks coach Sean Rochester was tabbed Coach of the Year. Feltner was joined on the All-Region

team by teammates Miley Ray and Caroline Brammer, along with Beaufort High’s Brittany Linton and Layla Warren, Bluffton’s Tatyana Aiken and Allayah Bryan, and Colleton County’s Omari Kirkland and Scha’Mari Stephens.

Four from BA picked for AllRegion

Two players from Beaufort Academy’s boys basketball team and two from the Eagles’ girls squad were named to the SCISA All-Region 1 team this week.

Amelia Huebel represented the Eagles on the girls first team, and Dawson Coleman was named to the boys first team. EmilyAnn Hiers made the girls second team, and Jaylen Reeves was tabbed for the boys second team.

Both BA teams will compete in the SCISA Class 1A state tournament beginning Friday.

Miami Dolphins Cornerback visits St. Gregory the Great Catholic School Beaufort resident and Miami Dolphins cornerback Dee Delaney visited St. Gregory the Great Catholic School on Friday, Feb. 8, 2019 to discuss his education and football career with 5th and 6th grade students. Delaney graduated from Whale Branch Early College in 2013 and went on to play college football at The Citadel and the University of Miami before being picked up by the Jackson-

ville Jaguars in 2018. He was recently picked up by the Dolphins where he will begin his 2019 season. Delaney’s talk with the students stressed the importance of education, getting and maintaining good grades as well as the importance of respect among teammates and each other.

After his presentation, Delaney joined the students outside for a quick football-related game.

VOICES

Return of ‘The Chair’ and the death of compassion

By Scott Graber In April 1978, John Plath and John Arnold — and two woman — wandered into Beaufort County. In those days Beaufort County was an isolated, mostly bypassed farming and fishing community. The tragedy that happened on April 12, 1978, began when this foursome spotted a young black woman on Warsaw Island. Sworn testimony would later establish that these kids took the woman to a remote part of St. Helena Island where she was made to undress, engage in sex, and was thereafter strangled and stabbed. Eventually she died.

Ralph Baldwin and I were appointed to represent John Arnold and had spent a long day reviewing allegations that our client had choked and repeatedly stabbed the Warsaw Island women. We had statements that described a level of brutality that would make a guilty

verdict a certainty. We were both thinking that the second trial — where choosing electrocution or life imprisonment was the only task given the jury — was where we might have a chance to save Arnold’s life.

“Let’s subpoena the electric chair,” Ralph said. “Let’s bring the chair into court and show it to the jury.

Let’s make the jury see how they're going to kill our client.”

Scott “My God Graber Ralph,” I said.

“I’ll write up the subpoena,” he said. “What have we got to lose?”

“Our law licenses,” I replied.

Several days later my wife and I were enjoying a bright, brisk, unseasonably warm Saturday on our porch. Neither of us paid attention to the white pickup truck when

it stopped in front of our wrought iron gate. We did focus on the truck when two men climbed into the truck bed and wrestled a large canvas covered object out of the pickup and carried the unwieldy object to the foot of the stairs leading into our house.

“Where do you want it?” one of the men asked my wife, Susan.

“Where do I want what?” she replied.

“Where do you want the electric chair?” he said.

My wife, who grew up in a New York City suburb, had never contemplated a situation were she might take possession of South Carolina’s electric chair and was uncharacteristically speechless.

The man turned to me saying, “You’ve got to sign this receipt.”

I signed the small chit and he said, “Now where do you want it?

A LIFE STORY 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.

Years ago, when I was a college student, one of my professors suggested we write our own obituaries. He was an English professor, and this was our first writing assignment.

We all sat there looking at him like he was crazy, but he said the exercise would achieve many objectives.

First, it provided him with some background on each of us, but it also provided us with a structure for the assignment, and it forced us to pause in our 20s and dream about who we would be in the future. I wish I had a copy of that paper because I do not remember what I wrote, but this began my fascination with obituaries.

The more obituaries I read in the newspaper, the more I realized that many people were dying without their life story being told. One obituary I recall reading was about an elderly woman. It read,

“She liked crossword puzzles and her soaps.” I threw down the newspaper and said to my husband, “OH, MY GOODNESS! She is 96 years old.

Don’t tell me the only thing she did on this Earth for 96 years was write crossword puzzles and watch soaps.”

He suggested that maybe all her close friends and family were dead and that maybe people did not know what she did all her life. Or maybe family members were too overwrought at the time of death and just filled out the form at the funeral parlor.

And so, my quest began. I wrote my own obituary and put it with our important papers, and then I did my husband’s. He was not crazy about the idea, but as we talked, I learned more about him that I did not know. Here is a man I have been married to for years, but who actually had a life before me. (Something I keep forgetting.)

After that, I started writing obituaries for friends; not when they died, but while they were still alive. I like to exaggerate the future in my obituaries too. That dream of going to New Zealand and Australia has already occurred in the pre-death obituary and that future novel has become a Pulitzer Prize winner.

When I did my Beaufort girlfriend’s obituary she laughed and sent it off to her Northern friends. That gave them the opportunity to fill in the blanks of her life story.

There is a beauty in obituaries that is missed sometimes. “Grandma’s Christmas Eve dinners were the annual event the family looked forward to each year.” “Every tool in Granddad’s garage will be a reminder of the projects we did together.”

For me, obituaries are not just death notices, they are life stories. And I am still writing my own.

“Put it in the living room,” I said pointing in that general direction.

“No, its not going in the living room,” my wife said quietly.

The two corrections men put down the chair and looked at Susan.

“We’re not putting the electric chair in our living room,” she said again.

“We’ll put it in the corner and keep it covered up. It’s only for a week or two,” I said The men again lifted the chair and began to move to the front door.

“I won’t have that thing, that chair, in my house,” she said.

The men groaned, put the chair back down, and one said, “At some point we would like to get back to Columbia.”

At that point ours had been an interesting, sometimes contentious marriage but we had always managed

to talk things through — and until that afternoon we had never had a disagreement about living room decor.

The two men from the Department of Corrections put the electric chair down and sat themselves in the white-painted wicker chairs on the porch, amused at our discussion of the death penalty.

This long-gone memory came back into focus last week — triggered by news that the South Carolina Senate had voted to bring back the electric chair for South Carolina’s executions. This bill also gives death row inmates the option of a firing squad.

John Arnold was one of the last people electrocuted in South Carolina — after that almost everyone on death row chose to die by lethal injection. This was not a difficult choice given the fact that electrocutions are sometimes botched and

almost everyone who has actually witnessed this manner of execution agrees there is dramatic, painful trauma involved. And so it came to pass that “lethal injection” became the “choice” of every person on death row. The “choice” until the pharmaceutical folks decided that it was bad karma to sell the state of South Carolina the drugs that are used in executions.

So they have refused to supply the drugs, the Department of Corrections has run dry, and this small bit of relief from pain and suffering will be denied death row inmates. This last bit of compassion will be withheld because our pharmaceutical friends, the same people who make billions of dollars every year, don’t want to be associated with death..

New County Council grapples with old divide

By Bill Rauch With four new members, they may look like a new Beaufort County Council, but the long and divisive shadow of former interim administrator Josh Gruber still darkens their deliberations.

Last week, glimpses of the familiar divide were apparent again. This time the venue was the meeting of the Council’s Community Facilities Committee.

That was the meeting where the committee voted 5-3 to advance to the full council a proposal to build a Disabilities and Special Needs (DSN) group home at 1 Bostick Circle in Beaufort’s Battery Point neighborhood.

At first blush, the resistance to the placing of the facility there appears to have been “prejudice” against disabled persons, and Councilman Gerald Dawson said so. Vice Chairman Paul Sommerville too has called out the opponents as being guilty of “pretextual discrimination.”

They say it is a charade to argue, as the chairman of Battery Shores’ Architectural Review Board and others did at the meeting, that the property won’t drain. Properly filled and graded, it will drain to the street just like the lots of its neighbors do, just like the subdivision’s drainage plan proscribes, and just as the county’s stormwater chief, Eric Larson, promised at the meeting to ensure sure it will.

Moreover, the county has in hand a drainage permit for the property issued by the City of Beaufort, within whose municipal boundaries the lot is located.

And the prejudice-finders ask what sense it makes to say, as some opponents of the facility do, that Beaufort County’s DSN consumers shouldn’t live near water.

There’s water everywhere in Beaufort County. More all the time. But DSN’s staff says they have determined that when the facility is properly

constructed, it will be safe for the no more than four DSN consumers who will be provided housing there.

Further complicating an about-face now, Assistant County Attorney Chris Inglese has cautioned council that since the county bought the lot for $34,000 and it appraised for $35,000, and since DSN staff recommended the purchase, that selling it now Bill could appear Rauch discriminatory and possibly be a violation of the Federal Fair Housing Laws that prohibit discrimination in housing against people with disabilities.

I hear the discrimination argument, but I don’t buy it.

Here’s the real heart of the divide.

In arguing against the county going forward with the building of the facility, Councilman Brian Flewelling, who lives in the neighborhood and who represents the Burton district and as such is the appropriate leader of the opposition’s forces, argues the county should sell the property and begin a new search for an appropriate site. Flewelling argues the purchase of the parcel was made in violation of County Council’s policies because it was not brought specifically before council by the administrator.

Who authorized the purchase of the parcel?

The very same Josh Gruber who resigned last summer as the county’s interim administrator.

When asked, Inglese opined at the meeting that Gruber had broken no laws and could not be sanctioned for his “technical violation of our code” decision.

What? Here’s what. This is in my opinion the most recently-revealed example of Gruber doing what Gruber did, and why he ruffled feathers. This was Gruber steam-

rolling ahead and trying to put into place the will of the council’s majority but without glancing over his shoulder to see which if any of his bosses’ noses were slipping out of joint.

Answering the opponents’ “Gruber didn’t consult us” argument, the facility’s supporters on council say: Nonsense, Gruber was authorized by council to purchase four parcels of property upon which to build the four needed facilities and with no instruction that he must come back to them for parcel-by-parcel votes.

Which brings us to the underlying issue, the familiar old one: fealty to the Council-Administrator form of government. Some County Council members want to be closely involved in the day-to-day operations of the county while others would leave the details to the county administrator. The acquisition of 1 Bostick Circle is the most recent bout in this lengthy history.

Here’s what’s key: Who’s on which side on the new council?

Flewelling was joined in voting against last week’s DSN proposal by Bluffton Councilman Michael E. Covert, an anti-Gruber veteran, and newly-elected Councilman Chris Hervochan from the Moss Creek district.

We will soon see who else might be in the Anti-Gruber/Weak Administrator camp, because in the present free-spending era of Politics

by Investigation some on council still want to spend up to $10,000 to hire an attorney to investigate Gruber’s now six months or more-old decisions to see what if any crimes or violations of policy he might have committed.

And the group home at 1 Bostick Circle item is currently expected to appear on the full council’s Feb. 25 agenda.

OBITUARIES ADELINE RUTH JOHNSON REICHLE

Adeline Ruth Johnson Reichle, 93, of Southlake, TX, and Beaufort, SC, died Tuesday, February 5, 2019 in Beaufort, SC, following complications from a third traumatic stroke in December.

Of Norwegian heritage, Adeline was born in Albert Lea, Minnesota on August 18, 1925. Her father, Roland J. Johnson, was a banker. Following the Great Depression, he moved his family to Harlingen, TX to start his own business. Adeline’s mother, Alma Owenson Johnson, was a teacher, war-time nurse and mother of four. Always a quick study, Adeline was promoted an entire grammar school grade

level, and successively graduated from Harlingen High School, and business college.

She started her career as an Executive Secretary for the District Freight Superintendent of Southern Pacific Railroad in Harlingen, where she met her future husband, Jack Edward Reichle.

Following the birth of their two daughters, Adeline paused her career and devoted herself to motherhood and homemaking. An accomplished home seamstress, she sewed beautiful clothing for her daughters throughout their school years. Other early hobbies included all forms of artistic needlework, crochet beaded necklaces, ceramics, gold leaf, candle-making, furniture refinishing, upholstery,

decorative pillows, floral display and gardening.

Following the death of her husband in 1974, Adeline returned to work as an Executive Secretary in the Engineering Department for the City of Corpus Christi, TX. During her 21 year tenure with the city, she served as Assistant to two successive Assistant City Managers, James Lontos and Jesús Garza. A lifelong learner, she completed several courses in City Administration and Computers at Del Mar College, Corpus Christi; and, later, at Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at the University of South Carolina-Beaufort.

A widow for 45 years, Adeline ensured both her daughters and two grandsons graduated from college with

Bachelors degrees. She also considered the maintenance of her home and yard a point of pride; and, she maintained both, herself, until her first stroke at age 85.

Adeline was a proud Texan, and 45 year resident of Corpus Christi. During that time, she was a member of the First Baptist Church, Community Bible Studies, Scandinavian Society, Bonsai Society and Arts & Flowers Garden Club.

All who met her, recognized Adeline’s fervent love for the Lord, her incredible gift of generosity, her elegant bearing, sense of style, fun sense of humor, incredibly contagious laughter and love for animals and children.

She was known for surviving great adversity, speaking her

mind, passing on her nutritional health knowledge to help others, keeping things organized and baking superb pastries…especially her cream pies, Danish pastries and Norwegian cookies.

Many poor have been fed, many children received shoes and winter coats, many water wells dug, through her diligent tithes to ministries. In all ways, Adeline exemplified The Greatest Generation.

Adeline was preceded in death by her three older siblings: a sister, Elsa Johnson; a sister, Vivian Paine; a brother, Lauritz (Buddy) Johnson (all of Harlingen, TX); and husband, Jack Edward Reichle, Corpus Christi, TX; all godly servants of our Lord.

Surviving are two daugh-

ters, Sheila Reichle Drouin (Robert) of Beaufort, SC; and Jennifer Reichle Kasten (Ken); two grandsons, Clay Kasten and Corbin Kasten (all of Southlake, TX).

Condolences can be sent to the family in care of Anderson Funeral Home and Crematory at 611 Robert Smalls Parkway, Beaufort, SC 29901 (843-524-7144) and online, at www.andersonfuneralhomebeaufortsc.com Adeline will be buried with her family at Restlawn Memorial Park in La Feria, TX. The family will be establishing a Facebook page: “Adeline Johnson Reichle” to honor and celebrate her extraordinary life.

Anderson Funeral Home and Crematory is serving the family.

Group wants help naming new waterfront trail in Downtown Beaufort It has been more than six years since the first mile of the Spanish Moss Trail was developed – and now with 10 miles of the trail being enjoyed by more than 40,000 people each year, the Friends of the Spanish Moss Trail (FSMT) have their sights on a new project that promises to be one of the most visible and scenic recreational experiences in Beaufort.

“After a year of conducting a viability study, we are excited to announce we are working with the City of Beaufort to develop a 1.2-mile connection that allows both visitors and residents the ability to safely and scenically move between the Spanish Moss Trail and downtown Beaufort,” said Dean Moss, Founder and Ex-

ecutive Director of the FSMT. With that mission in mind, the FSMT have built significant community support by spending the past year brainstorming and advocating for this project, not only with the city, but with community leaders, downtown merchants, homeowners and partners in the hospitality and tourism

industry. The FSMT have also collaborated, once again, with the PATH Foundation of Atlanta to create a plan for this formal connection from the trail to the historic residential, shopping and restaurant district in Beaufort.

“Currently, there is not an obvious, easy or safe way for pedestrians and cyclists to

navigate between the trail and downtown Beaufort,” said Moss. “In addition to providing a safe connection, we believe this section of the Spanish Moss Trail will be one of the most spectacular waterfront paths in the Southeast and a recreational centerpiece for everyone to enjoy.”

The FSMT and city are moving forward with the design and engineering phase of this project to develop the precise alignment that will provide a half-mile of unobstructed views of both the Beaufort River and some of the most beautiful and iconic antebellum homes in the Lowcountry.

This path will run along Bay Street and Depot Road — from the intersection of Charles and Bay streets to the Depot

Road Trailhead of the Spanish Moss Trail. The FSMT would now like input from the community on a name for this waterfront path.

“We want the entire community involved to help us name this beautiful section of the trail,” said Sissy Perryman, FSMT Public Awareness and Development Director. “We have launched a month-long community-wide brainstorming session and we invite everyone to send us their ideas.”

The FSMT’s goal is to choose a name that conveys its unique landscape and Lowcountry identity. The community is encouraged to email their ideas to info@spanishmosstrail.com over the next several weeks. The name will be revealed in the spring.

For more information or to donate to the Spanish Moss Trail visit SpanishMossTrail. com or download the free Mobile App called The Spanish Moss Trail Mobile Guide, available on Apple Store and Google Play. The Friends of the Spanish Moss Trail is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization led by community-minded individuals who are dedicated to improving the quality of life in Beaufort County by advocating for the development, enhancements and maintenance of the Spanish Moss Trail.

FOOD RECIPES

GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE

By Sharon Cooper German Chocolate Cake, originally German’s chocolate cake, is a layered chocolate cake from the United States, filled and topped with a coconut-pecan frosting. It owes its name to an English-American chocolate maker named Samuel German, who developed a Sharon fo r m u l a t i o n Cooper of dark baking chocolate that came to be used in the cake recipe.

Baker’s German sweet baking chocolate is traditionally used for the chocolate flavor in the actual cake, but few recipes call for it today. The filling and/or topping is a custard made with egg yolk and evaporated milk; once the custard is cooked, coconut and pecans are stirred in. Occasionally, a chocolate frosting is spread on the sides of the cake and

GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE Prep Time: 30 minutes Cook Time: 30 minutes Serves: 8-10

piped around the circumference of the layers to hold in the filling.

On June 3, 1957, a recipe for German Chocolate Cake appeared as the “recipe of the day” in The Dallas Daily News. It was created by Mrs. George Clay, a homemaker from Dallas. This recipe

used the baking chocolate introduced 105 years prior and became quite popular.

General Foods, which owned the Baker’s Brand at the time, took notice and distributed the cake recipe to other newspapers in the country. Sales of Baker's Chocolate are said to have increased by 73 percent

and the cake became a national staple. The possessive form (German’s) was dropped in subsequent publication, forming the “German Chocolate Cake” identity and giving the false impression of the German origin.

WINE & DINE

Melons From Burgundy

By Celia Strong Some wines just have the best stories to go with them, and sometimes these stories make the wines taste all that much better. Hopefully, that’s the case this week.

The original name for our grape variety this week is “Melon de Bourgogne.” Literally translated from French this means “melon from Burgundy,” but we should probably accept that in Old French it could also mean “grape from Burgundy.”

This variety grew in the Burgundy region until it was ordered destroyed in the early 1700s. In 1709, though, west of Burgundy on the Atlantic coast of France, near Nantes

and the mouth of the Loire River, there was a very harsh winter and most of the vines there died. Dutch traders, who traveled across France from Burgundy and the Netherlands further east to the Atlantic Ocean and the Loire delta, encouraged using melon vines to Celia replace those Strong that had died.

There is evidence that Louis XIV, the Sun King, ordered the melon vines to be planted after the hard freeze of 1709.

Muscadet is the current name for the wines made from these grapes. This name orig-

inated as a reference to the characteristics of the wines made from melon grapes.

“Vin qui a un goût musqué,” translates as “Wines with a musk-like taste.” The name Muscadet is an exception in French wine laws. AC wines, across France, are named for their growing region, and only in Alsace are they named for their grape variety.

None are named for what the wines might taste like.

About 80 percent of Muscadet wines are Muscadet-Sèvre et Maine appellation wines.

(There are two other sub-appellations, but their wines are rarely available.) Established in 1936, this appellation covers over 20,000 acres

of vineyards in 21 villages, all located near the mouth of the Loire River, near where its tributaries, the Sèvre and the Maine rivers, join it. The soil for the appellation is rich in magnesium and potassium, with clay, gravel and sand over gneiss, schist, granite and volcanic rock subsoils.

Much of this soil comes from thousands of years of oysters and shellfish living on the water’s edge and their shells decomposing over time. How perfect that the soil where Muscadet grapes grow makes these wines a perfect partners for oysters.

Muscadet is a white grape with basic flavors that are very neutral. More than al-

most anywhere else, these wines are fermented and aged with their lees (grape skins and pulp). By stirring the wine, “bâttonnage,” the lees and dead yeast cells are circulated through it repeatedly and help develop flavors and textures. The wines are bottled in the spring or early summer following the harvest. They are light-bodied, very crisp and dry, and can show a bit of salinity. Often, left over carbon dioxide from the bottling process can leave the wines with a slight prickly sensation. Muscadet wines are usually drunk within two or three years of their vintage.

Oysterman is the name of our new Muscadet. The

grapes come from 25- to 60-year-old vines. They are hand harvested, fermented in stainless steel and bottled, for the 2017 vintage, in June 2018, just before the wine was shipped. Served very chilled, this wine pairs well with oysters. Its acidity, freshness, minerality, and hint of brininess make a great example of what these two can do together. Served a bit warmer, there are floral and white and yellow fruit notes that show.

Great as an apéritif and with roasted or grilled seafood.

Our chance to drink melons from Burgundy. For $16.99.

Enjoy.

The Lowcountry Chorale, a mixed-voice community of singers, has begun preparation for its upcoming season. The Chorale has been singing as a group since the spring of 1997, with continuous performances twice a year. Voices needed, no audition necessary — just a love of singing.

Rehearsals begin at 6:45 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 19, at St. John’s Lutheran Church, 157 Lady’s Island Drive. The 13 weeks of rehearsals will culminate in performances on Friday, May 17, and Saturday, May 18. All who love to sing are welcome to join. The theme for this concert is “A Night At The Drive-In” and includes a variety of songs from movies we may have seen at drive-ins. This concert is a tribute to Beaufort’s famous drive-in theater, one of the last few remaining in the country.

Please note, registration prior to the first rehearsal will begin at 6:15 p.m. and there is a $35 membership fee to help defray music and performance costs.

Call Marsha at 207-323-1498 for more information.
