first-degree burglary. The sentences will be served concurrently. Jacob McFadden of the 14th Circuit Solicitor’s Office prosecuted the case. In the first burglary, the victim and her daughter left their home at about 7 a.m. on Nov. 7, 2017. They returned at about 11:20 p.m. to find their back door open and their living room television sitting on the floor near the door. The window above the kitchen sink also was open. Several items were missing from the home, including two handguns, two video game consoles, two iPads, a laptop, and a smart watch. Reed, who does not know the

home’s residents, left a fingerprint at the scene. In a second burglary at about 1 a.m. on Nov. 17, 2017, Beaufort Police were called during a break-in at the same location. Neighbors notified authorities after noticing a flashlight beam inside the residence. An intruder was seen closing the back door and retreating inside as law enforcement approached. Beaufort Police officers called the resident to confirm no one was authorized to be in the home at that time. After receiving the call, she came home and used her key to let police inside. They found Reed hiding in a coat closet and
captured footage of the arrest on their body cameras. No other suspects were located. As Reed was being escorted out by officers, the victim noticed he was wearing a pair of Nike shoes stolen in the first burglary. Reed’s criminal history includes convictions for simple possession of marijuana, shoplifting, possession of alcohol, possession of a stolen vehicle and receiving stolen goods. Circuit Court Judge Robert E. Hood sentenced Reed to 10 years for the first robbery and 17 years for the second. The sentences will be served concurrently.
nel treated three occupants from the passenger vehicle, including an infant, who appeared to have suffered non-life threatening injuries. Beaufort County EMS transported
all three to the hospital. After examining the amount of damage to the passenger vehicle, Burton fire officials said the use of seatbelts, and having the infant properly restrained in a carseat, saved their lives. The Burton Fire District, South Carolina Highway Patrol, and Battery Creek alumni Kelli Burke, have partnered together for a seatbelt safety awareness program for the public, and have delivered it to new drivers at Battery Creek High School with plans to expand to other schools and venues throughout the area. For more information on their program, please email safetyed@burtonfd.org.
Burton Fire District fields news medical device The Burton Fire District has completed its training for their new Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) device that will allow firefighters to deliver emergency care quicker and more efficiently. On Thursday, Feb. 21, the Burton Fire District, which provides both basic and advanced life support services, completed training on their new CPAP device, which is commercially known as a Go-Pap. While the fire district has provided CPAP treatment before, this new device will allow firefighters to act quicker and be more efficiently with critically ill patients who are running out of time.
When a person is in cardiac failure and their heart loses strength, fluid builds in the lungs making it
extremely difficult to breath. Also, a patient having a severe life-threatening asthma attack will have such constriction of their airway that may cause them to stop breathing. A CPAP device will pressurize the airway and lungs, bringing not only relief to the patient but also sustaining their life until the arrival of Beaufort County EMS and more definitive care at the hospital. Because this new device requires less equipment to operate and allows for the simultaneous administration of additional treatments and procedures, firefighters can now address the multiple medical needs of a critically ill patient more efficiently. This will allow firefight-

Seatbelts and Car Seat Saved Lives in Head-On Collision Three passengers escaped with only non-life threatening injuries after a head-on collision thanks to seatbelts and a child carseat, officials say. The Burton Fire District and the Beaufort/Port Royal Fire Department responded to a head-on collision just after 4 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 25, on Robert Smalls Parkway involving a passenger vehicle and a waste disposal truck.

ers to stabilize patients on scene and within minutes of their 911 call, thereby not only saving a life, but improving their condition before they reach the emergency room. All Burton firefighters are Emergency Medical Technicians, and one of the district’s five fire stations serving the rural Gray’s Hill and Seabrook area provides advanced paramedical services. Because firefighters are often first to arrive on scene to a medical emergency and can be made available to respond to another emergency more quickly than an ambulance, Burton fire officials say this training is essential to providing the emergency services their citizens need and deserve.

Saving for Retirement and Your Child’s College Education You want to retire comfortably when the time comes. But you also want to help your child pay for college. With the cost of college tuition increasing and no guarantee that Social Security will be around at the time you retire, the amount of money you need to save may seem overwhelming. How do you balance both of those goals? By starting to plan now, you can strike a strategic balance between saving for retirement and saving for college, says Will Larson, Retirement Planning Strategist for Wells Fargo Advisors. “A good way to help achieve both goals is to sit down with your financial advisor as soon as possible and create an investment plan,” he says. Your financial advisor will talk to
you about your goals, estimate how much money you need, and then put together a plan to get you on your way toward saving for both retirement and your child’s college education. These strategies can be a good place to start. Pay yourself first. Your top priority should be saving for retirement, Larson says. He recommends putting aside around 15 percent of your income every year. Don’t make the mistake of thinking you can tap into your retirement plan to pay tuition — taxes and penalties mean you’ll take a big hit. Invest your money in tax-advantaged accounts. Your money will work harder for you if you take advantage of tax-friendly accounts like 529 savings plans. The key is
starting as early as possible, says Kirk Pacatte, Planning and Life Events Specialist at Wells Fargo Advisors. “The earlier you get money in there, the better the potential for it to grow tax-deferred and compound,” he says. “That’s especially important when saving for education because you have a shorter window to save than you do for retirement.” Take advantage of changes in income or expenses. If you get an unexpected inheritance, stash at least some of it in your savings. And if you get a 2 percent raise, consider putting half toward college savings and half toward retirement. If you no longer have to pay for daycare or preschool because your child goes to public elementary school, keep making those payments,
but put them into your child’s college savings account instead, Larson suggests. Set clear expectations with your child. Have a frank conversation with your highschool-aged children about the level of financial support you can provide for college, Pacatte suggests. Some parents commit to paying the equivalent of the cost of instate tuition for four years at a state school. Others agree to pay for half of the bill and let their children know they are expected to cover the rest. Look for ways to save on tuition. Even if you have significant savings for college, apply for scholarships and financial aid — you never know what you’ll get, Pacatte says. You can also encourage your children take Advanced
Placement or college-level courses in high school. If they earn enough college credit, they could potentially graduate from college in three years. “Being able to lop off a full year of college funding makes a huge difference in cost,” Larson says. An investor should consider, before investing, whether the investor’s or designated beneficiary’s home state offers any state tax or other state benefits, such as financial aid, scholarship funds, and protection from creditors that are only available for investments in such state’s 529 college savings plan.

Each month, a different Merchant Association member business will be in the member spotlight near the clock tower at Bay and West street where the First Friday tent will be set up. This month, Robyn Hood Black
from Artsyletters will share her unique story of how her journey as a poet, and children’s author has informed her process for creating one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces, hand-printed paper and cards, personalized keepsakes and more. Come meet Robyn to learn about her design approach, and see a sampling of inspired creations she’s made from antique texts and paper, 19th-century books, and other reclaimed vintage items. First Friday is from 5-8 p.m. in the downtown core on Bay street and surrounding blocks and is open to everyone.

opportunity for people of varying levels of musical expertise to get together twice a month and create their own rhythm. For more information about the Beaufort Drum Circle, email beaufortscdrumcircle@gmail.com or go to Beaufort SC Drum Circle on Facebook. There is no charge and if one does not own anything to bang or click on, something will be provided.

Reasons for Faith
Are We Just Lucky? The Fine-Tuning of the Universe
What if the strength of gravity were slightly different?
The universe displays a remarkable fine-tuning.
Scientists have discovered that if the force of gravity were ever so slightly weaker than it is, the universe would have expanded so rapidly that stars like the sun would never have formed. And if gravity were ever so slightly stronger than it is, the universe would never have expanded outwards and formed stars and planets like ours. In either case, we would not exist. If the strength of gravity were analogous to the amount of sand needed to fill an Olympic pool, life would be impossible with the addition or subtraction of a single grain of sand!
We can imagine each of these fundamental constants like enormous dials on a wall. Each of these dials could have been turned to any setting, and yet they are each turned to the precise combination that allows for the formation of stars, planets, and life. This has caused scientists to remark that the universe seems to be finely tuned to enable the development of life as we know it.
Many similar examples of precision have been discovered.
The strength of gravity is one of about twenty fundamental constants of nature identified by scientists. If any of these constants were slightly different, our universe would have been inhospitable for life. For example, the strong nuclear force binds together protons and neutrons. If it were slightly stronger, no hydrogen would have remained to form stars; if it were slightly weaker, no elements other than hydrogen would ever have formed, and therefore no building blocks of life such as carbon.
Is this fine-tuning simply the result of random chance?
Are the fundamental constants so precisely tuned merely due to random chance? The odds of all of these constants coinciding to allow for life are so remote that they seem to demand an explanation. It would be like a man buying one lottery ticket at a time, and winning the jackpot dozens of times in a row: the odds are so unthinkable that chance would be ruled out and other explanations would be sought, such as manipulation of the games. Can this fine-tuning be explained by infinite universes?
Recognizing that there must be an explanation besides chance to account for the fine-tuning we observe, some scientists now speculate that an infinite number of universes were created from the Big Bang. Each of these universes has its own random setting of the “dials,” and we happen to be in one of the universes where the combinations align perfectly to allow for life. In the lottery example above, this would be like saying that there are countless universes where the man bought tickets and lost, and we happen to live in a universe where all his tickets were winners. Is there a better explanation for this fine-tuning?
Since science is limited to the study of our own universe, we can never scientifically prove the existence of infinite universes. In other words, such a belief would require a leap of faith. It is reasonable to look at the evidence and take a different leap of faith: that the universe is finely tuned for life because it has been purposefully designed this way by its creator.

USCB softball improves to 16-0 USCB’s softball team remained undefeated with four more wins this weekend, taking two games apiece from visiting Rio Grande (Ohio) and Reinhardt (Ga.) to improve to 16-0. The Sand Sharks beat Rio Grande 6-1 and Reinhardt 6-2 on Saturday, then defeated Rio Grande 8-1 and won 3-2 on Canyon Crosby’s
game-winning RBI double in the seventh inning against Reinhardt on Sunday. The first game of the weekend was scoreless until the fifth, when the Sand Sharks scored two runs, then followed up with four in the sixth for a 6-1 win over Rio Grande. Kaitlyn O’Hearn was 3-for-4 with two RBIs, Kayla Boyle drove in two runs, and
Sloan Ducey allowed one run and six hits over 6 2/3 innings for the win. USCB used a five-run third inning to take control in a 6-2 win over the Eagles in the second game, as Boyle went 2-for-3 with a homer and four RBIs, O’Hearn was 3-for-4, and Crosby allowed one run and three hits over four innings of relief for the win.
The Sand Sharks opened Sunday with an 8-1 win over the Red Storm, using a sixrun fourth inning to break it open. Crosby was 2-for-3 with three RBIs and Haley Hawkins drove in two runs in support of Abby Pac, who struck out five and allowed one run and four hits to improve to 5-0. USCB was in danger of
suffering its first loss of the season in the final game of the weekend, trailing 2-1 entering the bottom of the seventh before Shania Domingue singled home Taylor Boykin with the tying run and scored on Crosby’s double to center. USCB (16-0) travels to Brewton-Parker for a doubleheader Wednesday.
Beaufort’s CJ Cummings put on another dominant performance in sweeping the 73kg weight class at the USA Weightlifting National Junior Championships on Saturday in Chicago. Cummings hit the new junior world record standard in the snatch with a lift of 149kg, bettering his record by one kilogram, and broke his own junior world records in the clean and jerk (189kg) and total (338kg). CJ Cummings, Cummings 18, continues to dominate the junior circuit as he prepares for the 2020 Olympic Games. The runners-up in each division were a distant second — 128kg in the snatch, 157kg in the clean, and 284kg total. Cummings now owns 29 American records and five world records. Next up on Cummings’ schedule is the IWF Junior World Championships from June 1-8 in Fiji.

Tales from the New Hampshire legislature
By Scott Graber “My father was Irish-Catholic, from Boston, and when we first got to New Hampshire, John F. Kennedy came to visit,” she says. “He came to your house?” “In those days the number of Democrats in our town was pretty small and yes, we met in the living room of our house,” she says. It is Sunday afternoon, overcast, dreary, but I’ve got a small fire, a box of Publix blueberry muffins, and the company of David and Anne-Marie Irwin. Anne-Marie and David are tall, well- tailored and have a straight-for - Scott ward New En- Graber gland sensibility. They live (most of the time) at Walling Grove Plantation but sometimes flee to Peterborough, N.H., when the local temperature ‘feels like’ 120 degrees. This afternoon we’re sitting in my modest,
tastefully furnished den discussing Anne-Marie’s inspiration and her time in the New Hampshire legislature. After working for John Kennedy and completing college, Anne-Marie volunteered for the Peace Corps, spending time training teachers in Jamaica. Then she met and married David and eventually she found herself and her family in postcard-worthy Peterborough. “The schools in Peterborough were quaint, but they were also falling apart,” she says. “I reluctantly ran for the school board to see if I could convince people to rebuild the schools in nine different towns. It was hard because some of the towns in our district were less affluent. But eventually we got a bond approved and that let us rebuild, improve the curriculum and do more teacher training,” she says. In 2002, with the help of former Gov. Walter Peterson, Anne-Marie ran for the state House of Representatives.
She won that race, beating seven men, but found she had little influence in that Republican-ruled chamber. That changed in 2008 when Democrats took control and she was named chair of the committee that oversaw the administrative functions of state government. That year a bill was introduced that would have eliminated dog racing. Initially she thought this was a good bill but decided she would tour the race tracks and talk to the people who worked at the tracks. In the course of her tour she found that many of these tracks were the sole source of employment, and income, for small New Hampshire towns. She also found that the tracks would eventually close of their own accord; but if immediately, legislatively closed there would be economic trauma. She also found that hundreds of greyhounds would be killed in the process. “I knew that I was going to have to convince most of
the House — 400 people — to change their mind,” she says. “And so I went to each one asking, ‘How many dogs will you take? And, by the way, if you don’t want the dogs killed you’re going to have to take four.’ ” “But that wouldn't have done it,” David interjects. “Anne-Marie went on the floor of the House and turned the tide with her speech.” Service in the legislature came with a salary — $200 per session — but there were perks. Because New Hampshire holds the first primary election in every presidential cycle, it serves as a “gatekeeper” that removes candidates who fail to win a significant percentage of the vote. This winnowing-of-the-unworthy function is also shared by Iowa and South Carolina. In 2004, John Kerry, Howard Dean, John Edwards and others were competing for the Democratic Party nomination. “I took Howard Dean around the state,” Anne-Ma-
Who is the best driver?
My husband and I did one of those magazine quizzes recently. You know, like the ones you see in the Reader’s Digest magazine or maybe a Cosmopolitan magazine — “10 Ways To Know He Is For You!” This quiz had to do with driving habits. It was not about golf carts or Formula 1 race cars, either, just your own driving skills. We answered the questions separately and then totaled up our scores. The higher the score, the better the driver. You got “dinged” for speeding tickets and accidents.
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. Our reactions to one another would probably not surprise you. I thought I was the best driver, and he thought he was the best driver. How could two people who live, play, and eat in the same house have such diverse opinions? As I went through the quiz, I outlined some of my best
qualities as a driver. I do not tailgate, I do not speed, I do not text, and when I have a call I need to answer, I pull over into a parking lot. He answered that he was a defensive driver, handled the car well, and maintained an acceptable distance with the cars in front of him.
Well, we disagreed with one another’s assessment. However, I do admit, most of the time, I am comfortable with his driving. And he is always willing to relinquish the wheel to his wife, especially on long trips. Overall, we are both comfortable driving various vehicles, like RVs and trucks,
rie says. “Although David and I listened and talked to everyone — Democratic and Republican. “In 2008, when I was a committee chair in the legislature, I was everybody’s friend,” she says. “And in 2008, Hillary Clinton had been unexpectedly beaten by Barack Obama in the Iowa caucuses. She came to New Hampshire knowing she would have to win or drop out of the race. I met both of them — Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama. “I met Hillary at a small gathering and liked her. She was smart, not awful. But when I met with Obama at our Legislative Office Building, I found him inspiring, ‘Kennedyesque,’ ” she says. In the end Hillary narrowly won the New Hampshire primary (112,404 to Obama’s 104,814) and that victory kept her competitive to the end of the primary season when Obama won the nomination. Next year, however, all of that may change because California has moved-up its
primary to March 3. Iowa and New Hampshire would still be first and second, but the gravitational pull of the California motherlode could pull candidates and the spotlight away from Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. I ask Anne-Marie what legislation made her proudest. “More than any particular bill,” she says. “I was pleased with the civility, the respect that members of my committee showed for each other. There were mischief makers, but on the whole there was a sense of fair play — an integrity in our proceedings. Our oversight was smart, not partisan.” New Hampshire has recently become a “swing state” with control bouncing back and forth between the Democratic and Republican parties. Keeping government proceedings fair, open and civil is not easy. Scott Graber is a lawyer, novelist, veteran columnist and longtime resident of Port Royal. Email Scott at cscottgraber@gmail.com.
though my motorcycle driving days are behind me. As we were discussing our differing, very strong opinions, it dawned on me how important these kinds of discussions were for us. Our views differ greatly sometimes, but we have the good sense to discuss why. Now when we drive, we have acceptable phrases when the other person’s driving is bothering us. “Honey, you are making me nervous,” is one I use when we are driving on a busy interstate in the rain. When I am driving, he will advise me when he thinks it is my turn
to pass someone. “It might be a good time to get around that dump trunk.” Truthfully, those are not the exact phrases we use, but you get the idea. There are many of these quizzes we have taken over the years while driving on long trips. It gives us the opportunity to discuss each other’s perspective on topics. Maybe it would help if more people took the time to listen to others’ viewpoints. As for the quiz, we never disclosed our final scores to one another. Regardless of the test, I still think I am the best driver.

Couple helps preserve a way of life by teaching sustainability By Bill Rauch Permit me to begin by thanking the tipster who led me to this story, one of Beaufort’s great ladies and a great mom, too — Pat Von Harten. Here’s the story. There’s a kind and lovely woman on St. Helena Island who for many years was the guidance counselor at St. Helena Elementary School. Her family, the Greens, have lived on St. Helena Island for many generations. Her name is Sara’ Reynolds Green. But don’t be confused. Her last name is Green now because she is married to Bill Green, who is the proprietor and chief chef at Gullah Grub, the restaurant that is located exactly at the corner of the Corners Community. In 1892, Mrs. Green’s greatgreat grandfather bought a few acres down Eddings Point Road that the family has held onto and farmed ever since.
Today the farm is known as the Marshview Community Organic Farm and the vegetables that are grown there are picked daily and served at the Gullah Grub restaurant. Who are the land’s current farmers? Sara’ and Bill Green and an array of young people, some now more veteran than others, from St. Helena Elementary School. “Our goal,” Mr. Green says, “is to see that young people Bill learn about Rauch sustainability. If they can grow the crops and make the crops into meals, then they can sustain themselves.” The Greens, through the South Carolina Coastal Community Development Corporation, also run a cooking school two days a month. The
school is held in the commercial kitchen that is in one of the buildings behind Gullah Grub. Also in Gullah Grub’s backyard is the oldest packing shed on St. Helena Island, a federally designated building that the Community Development Corporation (CDC) is currently raising the funds to stabilize and restore so that it can be used safely for family reunions, weddings, a vendor’s market and a public performance space. But the cooking school came first. Registration there is $25, or you can clean up around the CDC buildings and work a day or two in the garden. Who are some of the cooking school’s pupils? Students at St. Helena Elementary School. Two of the cooking school’s students, Zionna Wearrien, a fourth-grader at St. Helena Elementary, and Jayden Simmons, a fifth-grader there, talk-
ed to me last week. “Here’s the difference between the macaroni and cheese they serve at the school cafeteria and the mac and cheese we make at the cooking school,” Ms. Wearrien said. “The cafeteria’s is dry and it falls apart.” “Yeah, they don’t use their flour right to make it sticky, and there’s no seasonings,” Mr. Simmons, the fifth-grader, added. “And when we make it, we put in salt and pepper and a little garlic and turmeric. That’s what gives it the taste.” The vegetables raised at the Marshview Community Organic Farm are used also, of course, at the CDC’s cooking school. “It would be better,” Mrs. Green said, “if the schools could use locally-raised vegetables in their cafeterias the way we do at our cooking school. It would be healthier. But getting the permits to use
groceries other than those provided by Sodexo (the Beaufort County School District’s longtime cafeteria services provider) in the schools is too hard. “Someone else will have to do that,” she added resignedly. Yes. But not impossible. There are at least two ways to go. The school district could self-operate its cafeterias and run a Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) certified farm to produce the fresh fruits, vegetables and honey that the cafeterias need. What they grow and they don’t need for the cafeterias they sell. Spartanburg District 6 is an example of this model. Or, for starters, the Beaufort County School District might just revise its Sodexo contract the next time it’s up, stipulating that certain fruits, vegetables and honeys be purchased by Sodexo from specific local farms with which the district would also contract. The re-
vised Sodexo contract could also specify that the locally-grown fruits and vegetables be served fresh. What Spartanburg 6 has found is that by offering fresher, tastier and healthier meals there are more children eating their school lunches, and more children have developed an interest in nutrition and food preparation. Moreover, the learning experience of the elementary school children who participate in the hands-on activities District 6 offers at its 16-acre farm and in its greenhouse prompts the children to begin to take a healthy interest in botany and horticulture, according to the district’s Deputy Superintendent Gregory Cantrell. That may be news to most of us, but it’s old news to Sara’ and Bill Green.. Bill Rauch was the mayor of Beaufort from 1999-2008. Email Bill at TheRauchReport@gmail.com.
The True Story of Monkey Island, Part 2 By David M. Taub In last week’s column, I shared the history behind the creation of the Yemassee Primate Center and promised to fill you in on the details of how our notorious and mysterious Monkey Island came to be, as well as explain my unique connection to all this monkey business. About 1974, the FDA began supporting rhesus monkey colonies in Puerto Rico for the Sabin Poliomyelitis Virus Vaccine Program. The FDA was among the first government agencies to proactively contract with the University of Puerto Rico to support two satellite island rhesus colonies, which were spin-offs from over production at the original Cayo David M. Santiago col- Taub ony. This was a prescient FDA decision because by 1977, India had permanently banned all exportation of rhesus monkeys to the United States. *** In 1978, as an assistant professor at Bowman Gray School of Medicine, I conducted basic research on social risk-factors and cardiovascular disease using non-human primate models. The veterinarian at the Yemassee “monkey farm” asked me to consult to reduce aggression in their breeding colony. At about this time, the FDA announced an open competition for the
Puerto Rican breeding colonies that it was funding. Litton Bionetics badly wanted to obtain this contract. They had identified an isolated island, Morgan Island in Beaufort County’s St. Helena Sound, which they believed was an ideal location to reestablish the Puerto Rican free-ranging breeding colonies. I was asked to write the scientific section of the FDA application. The contract we sought was awarded, and we began the arduous and challenging task of moving about 1,500 monkeys from southern Puerto Rico to Beaufort. Now things really got interesting. Yemassee Center hired me to manage the Morgan Island colony, and in spring of 1979 I moved to Beaufort, with wife Pam, 6-year old daughter Alison, and our aged cat Winky. This would be my second time in Beaufort; the first was in 1964, when I spent a challenging semester at University of Parris Island (another story for another time). There were nine shipments from the Ponce, Puerto Rico, airport to Beaufort via Miami: six starting in July 1979 and three more in early 1980. The FDA chartered an aged DC3 and monkeys were shipped in crates that contained three slots per crate, one animal per slot. About 100 crates filled the plane’s belly. To this day, I marvel at how we managed the following magic act: That antique DC3 had to stop in Miami for refueling before continuing on to Beaufort. The pilot radioed MCAS air control requesting
permission to land — perhaps he was a Marine aviator in a previous life. Miraculously, they granted it. Marines came out to witness this spectacle as we unloaded monkey crates onto a trailer. In the moonless dead of night, we drove to our boat dock at Lucy Creek. Perhaps the watching Marines thought we were moving a load of strange looking recruits destined for Parris Island. Every flight sought and received permission to land at MCAS, and the plane always arrived late at night — I believe that old DC3 was slower than my Nissan 300ZX twin turbo sports car. Early the next morning, we loaded crates onto our boats for the seven-mile trip to Morgan Island. Upon arrival, each animal was uncrated and given a complete physical exam, and then released to the wilds of “Monkey Island,” as Morgan Island was immediately christened. That moniker remains to this day. We repeated this routine over the course of about nine months; thereafter, the colony was closed to introductions from outside sources. The colony grew three-fold over the next 10 years, and each year several hundred 2-year old animals were shipped to the FDA in Bethesda, Maryland, in support of the polio vaccine certification program. *** An 1896 science fiction fantasy by famous English author H. G. Wells tells the story of Edward Prendick, a shipwrecked man who is left
on the island home of Dr. Moreau, a mad scientist who experiments with creating human-like hybrid creatures. After the first monkeys arrived on Morgan Island in summer of 1979, all manner of Dr. Moreau-like rumors began circulating. No one was allowed on the island. What was going on there? Why all those monkeys? No sooner had monkeys begun feasting on Purina Monkey Chow on Morgan Island than people started calling Yemassee’s monkey farm (or the sheriff) saying they were seeing wild monkeys in their backyards (most likely, raccoons). To them, every rattle of a garbage can was a monkey trying to steal some leftovers. In fact, only a very few young “bachelor” males decided to
swim off the island (rhesus monkeys are good swimmers). We trapped and returned most of them to their island paradise. The fate of the others, who can say? *** Well you ask, what was the purpose of keeping monkeys on Morgan Island and what were we doing with them? The short and accurate answer is nothing. It was then, and remains today, a breeding colony. Exclusively. No research is done using the monkeys. Yet even today ridiculous rumors abound of Dr. Moreau-style “secret research” out in the boonies on Monkey Island. It is all nonsense. Balderdash. Untrue. So, we come to the end of this fascinating story. You’ve
heard it here, straight from the horse’s, er … monkey’s mouth. I suppose you could say I was the “mad scientist” who was the in charge of Monkey Island’s furry denizens. Beaufort’s seminal role played in eliminating the deadly polio virus is a critical piece of Beaufort County’s history. We owe a continuing debt of gratitude to the rhesus monkeys who gave their all to save so many humans’ lives from polio, and many other diseases as well. For better or worse, it also led to my return to Beaufort and eventually to being elected mayor. Truth is truly stranger than fiction. David M. Taub was Mayor of Beaufort from 1990 through 1999, and served as a Beaufort County Magistrate Judge from 2010 to 2015. He may be contacted at david.m.taub42@gmail.com.

The University of South Carolina Beaufort is inviting parents and their children ages pre-kindergarten through third grade to join them March 1 for Read Across America Day, a celebration of the joys of reading, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the Beaufort Campus. The event, to be held on the lawn in front of the USCB Center for the Arts on Carteret Street, will feature readings from children’s books in a variety of languages. Local authors will be on hand to read their books. There will also be games and activities for children, a bouncy house, refreshments and free books to take home. The Cat in the Hat will be making a special appearance, and someone wearing a tutu will be reading “Pinkalicious.” The event is free. Dr. Marlena Smalls, actor, speaker, singer, historian and more, will read to children. Dr. Smalls is known as “The Voice of Gullah.” Andrea Studenc, a children’s book author and illustrator from Hilton Head Island, will read her book “Hair Brain Jane.” Studenc has
supported the event by participating ever since the first Read Across America Day at USCB in 2012. New authors supporting the event this year include Sheri Levy, a young adult author who tells the story of an autistic child whose dog is being trained to assist her. And Elizabeth Belenchia, whose book “My Walk to the Water” explores the world of sea turtles. USCB’s Read Across America Day activities were organized by the Education Club in conjunction with the United Way of the Lowcountry, Americorp, and the Beaufort and Hardeeville libraries. For Spanish speakers, Rena Lewis-Kratky, M.Ed., instructor of Spanish at the university, will read books in Spanish as will students from the Gamma Beta Phi and Foreign Language honors societies. USCB’s Read Across America Day is expected to draw more than 200 children from many Lowcountry schools, including the Port Royal Elementary School Pre-K class, the M.C. Riley second grade, the Beaufort Elemen-
tary School Pre-K class, the Royal Live Oaks Academy of the Arts & Sciences Charter School in Hardeeville, and more. Many of the daycare centers and early childhood development centers in the Lowcountry are expected to attend and bring the children in their care. Parents and homeschoolers will bring their children. So many children turned out for last year’s event that neighbors from the Old Point neighborhood volunteered to help on the spur of the moment. Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling even mentioned the event in an email to the community. “It is so important to imbue a love of reading in children at an early age,” says Renarta Tompkins, Ph.D., associate professor of education at USCB. “This is when they’re most impressionable. The reading skills they acquire in their formative years will influence the course of their entire lives.” The Cracked Egg in Port Royal will provide refreshments. In the event of rain, the event will be moved to the Center for the Arts.

FOOD
Can’t Beat View! Eggs Up Grill chain looking Our Beaufort’s to expand to Lowcountry Largest Covered Eggs Up Grill, recently acquired by the Spartanburg-based private investment firm WJ Partners, is carrying out an aggressive plan for expansion across the Southeast, with a goal of doubling its number of restaurants over the next two years, and Beaufort County is one of the areas the chain has targeted. The successful concept is ripe for growth, offering a culture that fosters a passion for people, community and great food, the group said in a release. “Breakfast is one of the fastest-growing segments in the restaurant industry, given the multigenerational appeal of families and friends gathering together to enjoy great-tasting food and warm, friendly service. The WJ Partners team was looking for a unique, proven
restaurant brand to partner with, and Eggs Up Grill met all the criteria,” said Ricky Richardson, CEO of Eggs Up Grill. “Eggs Up Grill has a well-earned reputation for offering freshly prepared, all-American breakfast favorites served by friendly team members who enjoy serving their guests. Our franchise partners are connected with their communities, they truly are neighbors serving neighbors. Eggs Up Grill is everything to make you smile.” At the center of the brand’s successful growth are the Eggs Up Grill franchise partners. The company’s unique business model attracts top prospects who would not typically be drawn to the restaurant industry. Steeped in a culture of “neighbors serving neighbors,” Eggs Up Grill’s 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. operating hours offer a work/life balance un-
common for the restaurant industry. The relatively simple-to-execute menu and operations structure make the franchise one that is equally attractive for those with or without restaurant experience. The majority of franchisees are community-, familyand people-focused, which is proven out by the brand’s loyal guest following and low team member turnover. The chain has targeted more than 50 secondary and tertiary markets for expansion across the Carolinas, Georgia and Florida, making its initial entry into Florida with a new restaurant opening in Ocala mid-2019. In addition to offering a compelling ownership opportunity for prospective franchisees and a great new dining choice for the neighborhood, each new restaurant provides 30 new jobs in the community.

WINE & DINE
Forgotten and Under Appreciated By Celia Strong Imagine being a wine, unique and different from most other wines, and almost no one thinks of you or talks about you or drinks you. All great shame, and yet easily remedied. And what wine are you? Beaujolais. And not Nouveau Beaujolais, the fresh, young wine that is released on the third Thursday of November every year. Beaujolais AC wines take us way beyond that. Beaujolais is a sub-region of Burgundy at the southern tip of that region. The name Beaujolais comes from the name of a town in the area, Beaujeu. While a small amount of white wine, made from Chardonnay, is produced here, 95 percent of Beaujolais wine is red, made from the Gamay grape. (Current research shows this grape is a cross between Pinot Noir and Gouais, an ancient white variety that made its way into Burgundy with the Romans.) The Beaujolais vineyards were Celia first cultivat- Strong ed by the Romans. Then, from the 7th century through the Middle Ages, Benedictine monks did most of the vineyard and cellar work. After the Romans, wines from Beaujolais were sold mostly up and down the Saône and Rhône rivers. In the 19th century, the French national railroad system became the main transport for these wines, and they found a very lucrative market and popularity in Paris. French wine laws categorize Beaujolais wines in several tiers. First, and lowest,
Origine is a ruby red color, with slight hints of purple. Its aromas include flowers (peonies, carnations) with bright red fruits (strawberries, cherries, raspberries). is Beaujolais, followed by Beaujolais Villages, where the grapes come from specified, more controlled areas. Within these areas, 10 are allowed to name their wines for their communes, and these are the cru Beaujolais. The Nouveau Beaujolais craze peaked in the 1980s. Unfortunately, some producers tried to capture their share of those massive sales and more and more grapes were used to make just Nouveau and not regular Beaujolais. Plus, some producers got caught mixing lesser grapes into Beaujolais or adding extra sugar to the wines — huge scandals at the time. As the quality of Beaujolais wines dropped, including Beaujolais Villages and cru Beaujolais, so did their reputations and sales, which is where we are now. Our wine this week comes from Domaines Chermette, a family run company in southern Beaujolais. Like most family wineries, they are smaller and committed to quality, authenticity and the history of their area. Their vineyards that are spread through several of the cru communes are based on granite soils, unlike most Beaujolais vineyards that are limestone and clay. Since 1986, the Chermettes have worked to bring back the quality and reputation of superb Beaujolais wines. Their Beaujolais Origine Vieilles Vignes lets us redis-
cover what we’ve been missing. The grapes for Origine come from about 10 acres in St Vérand, with dark granite soil. Old vines, 35 to 85 years old, grow facing southwest. They are hand harvested when fully ripe and about half go through carbonic maceration, in concrete tanks, that last six days. (Carbonic maceration is a winemaking process used mostly in Beaujolais. It allows the grapes to ferment in a carbon dioxide rich environment before they are crushed. Most of this fermentation takes place inside the grape skins and results in very fruity and very low tannin wines.) Origine is a ruby red color, with slight hints of purple. Its aromas include flowers (peonies, carnations) with bright red fruits (strawberries, cherries, raspberries). Its flavors echo these aromas in a mouthful that juicy and fleshy, with fresh acidity and refined tannins, which is why Beaujolais wines are best served slightly chilled (15 minutes). The old vines (Vieilles Vignes) give this wine depth and complexities, way beyond and totally unlike most Beaujolais — and nothing like a Nouveau. It is excellent with seafood, roasted poultry, Asian food, Caribbean food, curries, and more. A wine to be totally appreciated and not forgotten. For $17.99. Enjoy.
