COVERING BEAUFORT COUNTY

THE BEST TIME OF THE YEAR IS HERE! What you need to know for the 2017 Beaufort Water Festival

By Sally Mahan

AY! It’s time once again for the hugely popular Beaufort Water Festival at Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park, which will be held daily from Friday, July 14, to Sunday, July 23. The 62nd annual outdoor event is sure to be a hit, with the regular events back for another year of fun and entertainment, including the always moving opening ceremonies, Motown Monday, the Teen Dance, the Talent Show and the Blessing of the Fleet.

There will also, of course, be plenty of entertainment, arts and crafts, events for children and lots of outdoor sports (bocce, badminton, rafting and more).

New this year is a special free concert on Thursday featuring hometown girl Candice Glover, season 12 winner of “American Idol.”

So, what have we learned over the years?

First, parking. The early bird gets the best parking spot, so go early if possible. Several churches, banks and other businesses allow parking in their lots for a fee (the closer to the park, the higher the fee). New this year is a free shuttle service from the Beaufort County Government Center for some of the evening events.

Also, remember to bring sunscreen and drink plenty of water.

There are few places to get out of the sun and dehydration can quickly become an issue. EMS paramedics will be more than happy to assist if you need help.

As most festival-goers know, the Beaufort Water Festival has a storied history.

The first festival was held in July 1956, with John Bigbee serving as the first president and Gladys

“In the early days of the festival, it cost 50 cents to attend the Beauty Pageant, one dollar per couple to attend the Water Festival Ball (which was later changed to the Commodore’s Ball) and two dollars to attend the Regatta Ball,” according to beaufortwaterfestival.com.

“The first weekend featured two days of sailboat races and the Regatta Ball. The following weekend began with the Beauty Pageant on Friday where the Queen of the Carolina Sea Islands was crowned.

The parade and ski show, put on by the Beaufort Water Ski Club, and an air show highlighted the second weekend, in addition to the Water Festival Ball.

“As the years went by, the festival began to draw more and more people to Beaufort from other parts of the state and on a national level. " And it certainly has something for everyone. So rain or shine, we’ll see you there!

CHANGE OF COMMAND

New commander welcomed at MCAS

By Bob Sofaly

Despite a blistering heat index of 114 degrees, Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort held its official Change of Command ceremony on July 7, albeit in the air-conditioned environs of the base’s gym.

In time-honored tradition, Col. Peter D. Buck formally retired from the Marine Corps and relinquished command to Col. Timothy P. Miller.

Buck had been the commanding officer of MCAS Beaufort since February 2014. He and his family will be returning to Wisconsin.

Buck served more than 30 years as a U.S. Marine Miller graduated from Buck-

WEST NILE

nell University with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting and was commissioned a second lieutenant in 1994 through the Platoon Leaders Course.

He was designated a naval aviator on Aug. 8, 1997, and reported to Marine Corps Air Station New River for training.

In January 1998, Miller served in a number of billets, including weapons and tactics instructor and operations officer. During this period he participated in two deployments with the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit.

Miller was deployed to Iraqi Freedom, and then as an executive officer to Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan.

A resident of Hilton Head Island is the first case of West Nile in Beaufort County.

He also recently attended the Israel National Defense College where he earned a Master’s Degree in Social Science. Miller then became the U.S. Pacific Command Warfighting Exercise’s Branch chief.

His personal decorations include Defense Meritorious Service Medal, Meritorious Service Medal with gold star, Air Medal with Strike/Flight Numeral 9, Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal with gold star and the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal with gold star.

JULY 13 - 19, 2017

A Seabrook home was saved on July 4 after a homeowner alerted a neighbor who then responded with a fire extinguisher and quelled flames inside an oven before they could do any damage.

The Burton Fire District responded to a report of a house fire on Delany Circle in Seabrook just before 5 p.m. Firefighters arrived on the scene to find light smoke inside the residence but no flames thanks to a neighbor’s use of a fire extinguisher.

The fire started in the oven while the oven was self cleaning.

Burton firefighters utilized a thermal imaging camera to ensure that the heat from the fire did not start a fire in the walls, and also assisted the family by removing smoke from the home.

The family, including children, evacuated the home. The home had working smoke detectors.

Burton fire officials stress the importance of every home having a properly working fire extinguisher less than five years old that is mounted in an easily accessible place in their home – preferably by an exit. Officials caution placing fire extinguishers under kitchen sinks, often right next to the stove/oven where most home fires occur, or in closets where they are not seen and readably accessible.

The Burton Fire District provides free fire extinguisher training for residents and encourages training for teenagers.

Shots fired on Hilton Head Island

The Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office responded at about 11:30 p.m. July 7 to Port Royal Plaza on Hilton Head Island to a re-

port of shots being fired from a vehicle in the parking lot.

Patrons at Street Meet restaurant contacted 911 after hearing two shots being fired from a vehicle in the parking lot. No one was injured and no damage to property was reported.

Multiple customers who heard and saw the shooting were able to provide deputies with suspect and vehicle descriptions.

A short time later, deputies observed a vehicle matching the description at The Pantry on Mathews Drive. As deputies approached, the two suspects ran away.

Christopher Mullen, 30, of Bluffton, and Darren Mahaffey, 27, of Hilton Head Island, were caught by deputies after a short foot chase.

They were charged with fleeing to evade arrest.

According to the sheriff ’s office, Mullen was armed with a handgun at the time of his arrest and was subsequently charged with unlawful carrying of a firearm, discharging a firearm within the town limits of Hilton Head and public disorderly conduct. Mahaffey had an outstanding warrant for assault and battery from a prior incident.

Both were taken to the Beaufort County Detention Center.

Sheriff ’s office looking for forgery suspect

The Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office is searching for the pictured suspect, who they say has made several fraudulent charges with a cloned credit card at several gas stations in Beaufort County.

Anyone with any information should contact Investigator Draisen at 843-255-3409 or Beaufort County Dispatch at 843-524-2777. To remain anonymous and collect a possible reward, call CrimeStoppers at 888-CRIME-SC (888-274-6372).

VOICES

Welcome to summer in the Sea Islands The other day while chatting with a friend on the phone, she wondered what I was up to and I said, “Enjoying this beautiful day.”

“Where are you?” she asked.

“At home,” I replied.

To which she answered, “It is pouring rain here.”

We only live about a mile apart.

Welcome to summer in the Sea Islands! It happens a lot during these hot July and August days. When the weatherman says “50 percent chance of scattered showers,” he really means it.

Scattered means it is going to rain somewhere.

You may have noticed it when leaving sunny Beaufort and driving down to Bluffton.

You start to see cars coming at you with their headlights on and windshield wipers going.

Sure enough, rain.

I have found it raining on one side of Sea Island Parkway, only to drive over Cowan

Now what?

HIGHLIGHTING DAILY LIFE OBSERVATIONS

Lee Scott, a writer and recent retiree, shares her everyday observations about life after career. A former commercial banker responsible for helping her clients to reach their business objectives, Scott now translates those analytical skills to her writings. She recently moved to St. Helena Island with her husband and two cocker spaniels. She enjoys boating, traveling and reading.

Bridge and not a drop of rain has fallen.

Sometimes it is torrential rain too, with the tires throwing off water higher than the car windows and I know if I can just get over the little bridge I will be out of it.

Which brings me to planning a picnic or an outside barbecue. Relax. Do not cancel your summer party. It is probably going to rain at some point, or somewhere, but it just might not at all.

It happened to us the other night while preparing to grill on our back porch. We were looking out our window at the blue sky when we started to hear thunder. Then the waving American flag at the end of the dock shifted from the south to flying from the west.

I looked out the front door. Sure enough, something was coming.

We began our thunderstorm prep. We put the umbrella down and moved the dinner-

ware back into the house.

It started to get dark, the wind howled, there was thunder and lightning, and then, nothing, not a drop of rain. Within a half an hour any evidence of a storm was gone. We should have known.

We try to track some of these storms on the weather radar. If the storm is west of Hilton Head, they seem to skim Beaufort and miss us altogether. (although Edisto might get hammered). But these summer pop-up storms have a mind of their own.

Let’s face it. When the thermometer hits 94 degrees there is a good chance that a storm will build up somewhere.

The question is always, “Is it going to hit my house during my summer barbecue?”

The answer is: It might. It might not. Let’s just say, you have a 50 percent chance of scattered thunderstorms today.

We must not lose sight of our common humanity Following is a joint op-ed from U.S. Reps.

Mark Sanford, R-SC, and Jared Huffman, D-Calif.

In the wake of tragedy, Republicans and Democrats have historically set aside their differences, and come together to express kind words of sympathy and a sense that we should work together.

The recent shooting at a Congressional baseball practice was no exception. In the days immediately following, no matter whether you tuned into CNN or MSNBC or Fox, you would see an odd-couple pair of legislators from both sides of the aisle, pledging to act in unity.

Unfortunately, as the news cycle changes, so does the tone in Washington and that fleeting sense of cooperation sadly dissipates, replaced once again with overheated political rhetoric.

The truth that no one can deny is that our country is divided on major political questions, and our national political debate reflects that fact. Many factors fan the flames of division and passion, and it’s hard for people to find common ground when the political climate surrounding them is so overheated.

Violent political rhetoric is nothing new, of course, and it’s not unique to our nation. But, we hope that the shooting in Alexandria might at least provide a teachable moment for us all to try Mark Sanford and turn the temperature down a little bit. Maybe it can even remind us that we’re all batting on the same team and we all got into public service for the same reason – to help our communities and improve the lives of our neighbors.

It shouldn’t take a shooting or another act of violence to bring us together and tone it down.

As Vice President Mike Pence once said: “We cannot do democracy without a heavy dose of civility.”

And former Vice President Joe Biden, who was awarded Allegheny College’s Prize for Civility in Public Life last year, has made a similar argument in his speeches: “Consensus is necessary. ‘Compromise’ is not a dirty word.”

Of course, a more civil tone, and a search for consensus, doesn’t mean the end of disagree-

ments. We will disagree on major and minor matters, but especially in these trying political times, we ought to be able to focus our arguments on these agreements and disagreements without losing sight Jared Huffman of our common humanity.

One reasoning we often hear on why bipartisanship has declined in Washington is that due to modern transportation, most members go back to their congressional districts to visit with their constituents every single week. Neither of us lives in Washington full time, and we have held 25 town hall meetings between us since the start of the year. That’s a good thing, but it does mean that we rarely see each other in neutral zones as regular people, living our lives.

We’re committed, though, to doing our part to create a climate of civility. It starts by taking the time to talk to each other, and to figure out what areas you can work on together. Recently, we sat down together to record an episode of “Off the Cuff w. Rep. Huffman,” where we got

to discuss these very topics.

Even a conservative Republican from South Carolina and a liberal Democrat from northern California can agree on plenty once you get past the rhetoric. In our coastal districts, for example, protecting the oceans for generations to come is a top priority.

On July 4 we commemorated the declaration -- and the war -- that brought forth on this continent a new nation. We are challenging our colleagues and our constituents alike.

Let’s set a better tone: Disagreement, protests, and sensational reporting are all part of the fabric of our country, and our nation has fought several wars over political and moral questions, but we don’t need to accept violent or dehumanizing rhetoric as normal political behavior today.

To end on a high note, we’d like to leave with you a quote from one of our great political leaders, John F. Kennedy: “So let us begin anew -- remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness, and sincerity is always subject to proof. Let us never negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negotiate. Let both sides explore what problems unite us instead of belaboring those problems which divide us."

IN OTHER NEWS

DHEC confirms first case of West Nile in Beaufort County The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) is reporting that it has confirmed the first human case of the West Nile virus on Hilton Head Island in Beaufort County.

In response, Beaufort County Mosquito Control and DHEC have intensified their surveillance for this mosquito-borne disease. Mosquito Control has also increased the frequency of area treatments to control the adult mosquitoes.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, symptoms of West Nile virus disease include the following: • No symptoms in most people. Most

people (70-80 percent) who become infected with West Nile virus do not develop any symptoms.

• Febrile illness in some people. About one in five people who are infected will develop a fever with other symptoms such as headache, body aches, joint pains, vomiting, diarrhea or rash. Most people with this type of West Nile virus disease recover completely, but fatigue and weakness can last for weeks or months.

• Severe symptoms in a few people. Less than 1 percent of people who are infected will develop a serious neurologic illness such as encephalitis or meningitis (inflammation

of the brain or surrounding tissues). The symptoms of neurologic illness can include headache, high fever, neck stiffness, disorientation, coma, tremors, seizures, or paralysis.

Following are prevention tips: • Apply insect repellent containing DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus or IR 3535 according to label instructions.

• Wear clothing that reduces the risk of skin exposure.

• Exposure to mosquitoes is most common at night and during the early morning.

Some species bite during the day, especially in wooded or other shaded areas. Avoid exposure during these times and in these areas.

• Make sure that your doors and windows have tight-fitting screens to keep out mosquitoes.

• Eliminate all sources of standing water on your property, including flowerpots, gutters, buckets, pool covers, bird baths, old car tires, rain gutters and pet bowls.

Dead birds can help DHEC and its local partners to track the West Nile virus, and residents can report the finding of dead birds to DHEC. Visit www.scdhec.gov/HomeAndEnvironment/Insects/Mosquitoes for more information.

Call Beaufort County Mosquito Control at 843-255-5800.

dig without first calling 811.

Striking a single line can cause injury, repair costs, fines and inconvenient outages.

Every digging project, no matter how large or small, warrants a call to 811.

Installing a mailbox, building a deck and planting a tree or garden are all examples of digging projects that should only begin a few days after a call to 811.

The depth of utility lines can vary for a number of reasons, such as erosion, previous digging projects and uneven surfaces. Utility lines need to be properly marked because even when digging only a few inches, the risk of striking an underground utility line still exists.

BJWSA encourages area residents to visit www.bjwsa.org/business or www.call811.com for more information about digging safely.

NEWS BRIEFS Hot air balloon coming to Okatie

This digging season, safety is in the air.

The Beaufort-Jasper Water & Sewer Authority (BJWSA) is reminding Lowcountry residents to always call 811 before breaking ground in a big way – a gigantic hot air balloon featuring the national call before you dig number – 811.

The 811 balloon will be tethered at the Chelsea Water Treatment Plant at 14 Snake Road (behind the Administrative Offices at 6 Snake Road) from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, July 14.

Members of the public can climb in the basket or take a brief tethered ride in the balloon.

Parking will be provided in the lot behind the office building. Only children 14 years and older may ride, and only if they are accompanied by an adult. There must be one adult for each child who boards the balloon.

When calling 811, homeowners and contractors are connected to one call center, which notifies the appropriate utility companies of their intent to dig.

Professional locators are then sent to the requested digging site to mark the approximate locations of underground lines with flags, paint or both.

Every 6 minutes an underground utility line is damaged because someone decided to

Northern long-eared bats found in two new counties

Five Northern long-eared bats have been captured in two new counties on South Carolina’s coastal plain: Charleston and Berkeley counties.

Historically, this federally threatened species was known in South Carolina to exist only in the Upstate, but were discovered in fall 2016 on the coastal plain in Beaufort County.

Dottie Brown, senior ecologist at the consulting firm Ecological Solutions Inc., reported to the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) the capture of five Northern long-eared bats as part of a bat research project being conducted in Francis Marion National Forest: two juveniles (one female, one male) and three adults (one female, two males). They were captured midJune through early July near a stream corridor.

Brown and her team fitted the bats with radio transmitters, and tracked them to a daytime roost each day. Although the main maternity roosts have dispersed at this point in the season, multiple bats were documented leaving juvenile

Freedom Shrine is re-dedicated

The Exchange Club of Beaufort re-dedicated the Freedom Shrine at the Beaufort County Courthouse on July 7.

“It was the very first one we gifted,” said charter member Grady Thames.

Since then, The Exchange Club has donated one to almost every school North of the Broad and to City Hall and Penn Center.

The Freedom Shrine is a collection of photographic reproductions of original documents from American history. The display includes the Bill of Rights, the Mayflower Compact, the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution.

U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer 3rd Class Kristen Esget, a Beaufort native, joined more than 250 seriously wounded, ill and injured service members and veterans at the Department of Defense Warrior Games held from June 30–July 8 in Chicago.

Esget competed against athletes from the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Coast Guard, Air Force and Special Operations Command.

During the nine days, she competed in shooting, swimming and track and field.

"Our Navy athletes who are participating in this year's Department of Defense Warrior Games are an inspiration for us all," said Vice Admiral Mary Jackson, commander, Navy Installations Command. "Their involvement in the games Kristen Esget brings home the importance of the Navy's adaptive sports program, which has a significant impact on a wound-

Petty Officer 2nd Class Erica Greene, of Beaufort, is serving in the U.S. Navy aboard the guided missile destroyer, USS Michael Murphy.

Greene works as a gunner's mate aboard the guided missile destroyer operating out of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

A Navy gunner's mate Erica Greene is responsible for assisting in training sailors with the weapons systems and guns aboard the ship.

“I like helping people out, no matter what it is,” said Greene. “I want to be able to make people better at whatever is they want to do.”

With the ability to conduct anti-air warfare, anti-submarine warfare and anti-surface warfare, destroyers are capable of sustained maritime operations supporting forward naval presence, maritime security, sea control, deterrence of aggressive actions on U.S. partners around the globe, as well as humanitarian assistance.

Fast, maneuverable and technically advanced, destroyers provide credible combat power, at and from the sea.

“Service at sea onboard a Navy destroyer is an incredible experience,” said Robert A. Heely Jr., commanding officer of the USS Michael Murphy. “The extraordinary performance of Michael Murphy is made possible by the sailors that man her on a daily basis.

Team Murphy is comprised of 350 talented sailors from across our country. They are all resilient and dedicated professionals, who strive each and every day to uphold the strong legacy of our namesake, Lt. Michael P. Murphy. I'm proud of their teamwork and commitment to the mission.”

Will the weather hold up?

Will all of the more than 400 volunteers know what to do?

Will the events come off without a hitch?

Those questions and so many more are just a part of the Beaufort Water Festival’s commodore’s job.

It’s a job that is handed off every year at the end of the festival, and in 2016, Jason Berry was officially named the 2017 commodore.

It’s not a job for the weak at heart.

There are a million details to oversee and a million things that can keep you awake at night.

But Berry is definitely cut out for the gig.

He has served in Afghanistan and Iraq, and retired as a Naval Hospital corpsman after 22 years. He then worked another 10 years as a safety and occupational health specialist for the U.S. Navy.

This is his 14th year volunteering with the Beaufort Water Festival. Festival Director Adam Aimar and festival consultants Paul Howe and Rand Thacker serve under the commodore.

Berry said he started giving his time because it was something that was so important to him in the military: really being involved in the local community and volunteering.

“I was always raising my hand for deployment, so when Bob Bible, the chief of the Naval Hospital suggested I get involved, I went ahead and became a volunteer for the Water Festival,” he said.

Over his 14 years as a volunteer, he has helped out in many areas. One of his favorite things to do was help organize the sporting events.

“I’m a big sports person myself so I got involved with the golf tournament and the softball tournament,” said Berry. He did everything from helping set up tents, putting together the awards and prizes for the sports events, organizing food, beverages and so much more.

Over the years he has worked as a festival

coordinator, helping with productions, sponsors, organization and more.

“It’s not just one time out of the year,” said Berry. “It’s one of the things that kept me involved back then, and then when festival came around I found myself helping out.

“For those 10 days of the festival you’re part of something,” he said. “It’s a good feeling seeing all those people having a great time.”

He harkened back to how far the festival has come since he first started as a volunteer.

“Back in the day we had to build the stage, put up the tents, the fencing, the craft market, the lights, electric … there’s whole a lot to do.”

So what worries him the most about the festival in his role as commodore?

“The biggest thing with Water Festival every year is to not have rain,” he said. “We’re a nonprofit and when one event doesn’t happen it really hurts the bottom line. Rain is always the biggest thing. We’ve found a way to overcome most of the other challenges with the help of the city.”

He also said the Boundary Street construction is a concern, but he is excited that the festival is offering a shuttle service from the Beaufort County Government Center to some of the events.

Berry said his favorite event is the opening ceremony.

“After working long hours to set this up and that Friday when everything is ready to go and the crowd is there to listen to the Marine Corps band and people come together, well, I walk through that crowd and it feels so good to have helped put this together.”

He’s particularly excited about a free Thursday concert with “American Idol” winner Candice Glover, the air show and the fact that the ski show is returning to the festival.

Berry added that when he was chosen as commodore, “it was absolutely surreal for me. Not being a local person makes it even more special. The community has put their faith and trust in me. That’s really worth everything.”

• Bay Street between Harrington and Charles will be closed from 5-6 p.m. Friday, July 21, and from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, July 22.

PARKING As anyone who has ever attended the Beaufort Water Festival, parking can be tricky.

However, this year the organizers have added a shuttle from the Beaufort County Government Center at 100 Ribaut Road for some of the popular events.

ROAD/RIVER CLOSINGS • The Beaufort River will be closed from 1-4 p.m. Saturday, July 22 A6

Beaufort area celebrates 4th in grand style

When the tide comes in, there is no where to run as these beachgoers found out during high tide at The Sands Beach in Port Royal. Hundreds of people converged on the popular spot on July 4 for the fireworks show. Photos by Bob Sofaly.

Jonathan Salazar makes sure his son Jothan’s goggles are adjusted properly while playing at the Green Street pool on the Fourth of July at Charles Lind Brown Center.

hroughout the Beaufort area, Independence Day was celebrated in grand fashion. In addition to the annual fireworks shows, there were several picnics and other events as folks braved the heat to wish our country a happy birthday.

One of those events was at Riverview Baptist Church, where about 100 people attended the July 4 celebration.

“Most of them are inside (the church) where it’s cooler” said the Rev. Leon Meadows, paster of Riverview Baptist. “That's where the food is too.”

But outside there was Giant Jinga, kiddie pools and the ever popular corn hole games going on for those who braved the brutal humidity.

Meanwhile, hundreds of people turned out at The Sands Beach in Port Royal to take in the fireworks show, listen to music and celebrate the day. Also on the Fourth, the heat drove many people to the Green Street Pool at the Charles Lind Brown Center, where they cooled off and had fun.

SPORTS SPORTS BRIEFS COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Beaufort High graduate entering 2017 season

Beaufort High School graduate Jason Senn is set to enter the 2017 college football season. Senn is a defensive back for the University of South Carolina football team.

A walk-on safety, Senn was added to the University of South Carolina football squad when the USC roster expanded in August 2015. As a redshirt freshman walk-on in 2016, Senn spent time on the scout team.

He was named to the SEC Fall Academic Honor Roll. In 2015, Senn was a walk-on who worked with the scout team in his true freshman campaign.

Senn played for head coach Mark Clifford at Beaufort High School, earning all-area honors.

South Carolina's 2017 SEC opener is set.

The annual battle for the Columbia Cup will take place on Saturday, Sept. 9, when

the South Carolina Gamecocks travel to Columbia, Mo., to face the Missouri Tigers.

The Gamecocks’ SEC opener is set for a 7 p.m. ETkick (6 p.m. local), and will be televised nationally on ESPN2.

Mizzou holds a slim 4-3 lead in the alltime series between the two SEC Eastern Division rivals. The Gamecocks won last year’s meeting by a 31-21 count at Williams-Brice Stadium. The teams have split two games in the Show-Me State, with Carolina winning by a 27-24 score in double overtime in 2013, and the Tigers posting a 24-10 win in 2015.

The Gamecocks will open the 2017 campaign on Saturday, Sept. 2, when they travel to Charlotte for a non-conference tilt with NC State. That contest was previously announced as a 3 p.m. kickoff on ESPN. Game times and television networks for the Gamecocks’ remaining 10 regular season games will be announced at a later date.

In June, the South Carolina High School League’s executive committee announced changes for the 2017-18 school year.

Items that will go into effect for the upcoming school year include: • Removing the sanction of a fine for playing football on outside and school teams during the same season.

• Adding a week to the current middle school volleyball season.

The season would be extended from six to seven weeks and allow teams to schedule two matches a week instead of three to get their 14 matches in a season. The first date for contests would be Aug. 28.

• Allowing eligible football players who dress but do not participate in a varsity game to play in a sub-varsity game the following day.

• Requiring a minimum of seven wrestling weight classes for a school to compete in the duals playoff bracket.

• Requiring all head coaches — at all levels, including varsity, junior varsity and middle school — to be certified in CPR and AED training before the start of their sport’s season. All coaches will be required to be certified in CPR and AED training by the start of their 2018-19 season.

For a complete list of changes, visit www. schsl.org/2016/updateJUNE.pdf. Additionally, SCHSL’s new website went online July 1.

Because not everyone looks good when they sweat Record Heat. Maximum Humidity. If you’re not

A tale of two wines

If your memory is working, long term, you’ll remember bits and pieces of today’s discussion.

Multiple years ago, we did enjoy a wine from the Margaret River area of Australia. Today, we have Celia Strong a new wine from there, from the same winery, in fact. And, because the wine we did years ago is still so good, and a newer vintage, we might just take a quick peek at it too.

Margaret River “appellation” is located in the Western Australia wine region. There are about 200 wineries in the designated Margaret River area with over 12,000 acres of vineyards. (Interestingly, the first vines were planted in the late 1960s, which is fairly recently in the wine world.)

The climate in these vineyards is very maritime-influenced, being right on the Indian Ocean. It has the lowest average temperatures of any Australian wine region, much like that of Bordeaux.

The soil is predominantly gravelly or gritty sandy loam from the granite underneath it. The soil is very susceptible to water seeping into it, but, because of all the breezes (winds really) from off the ocean, it dries out quickly. That makes it good for growing grapes. Twenty percent of Australia’s wine production comes from this region.

Our winery this week is Cape Mentelle, officially known as Cale Mentelle Vineyards. It is one of the oldest Margaret River wineries, founded in 1970, with just under 40 acres, and their first vintage produced was 1977. The winery’s name comes from a nearby cape.

In the beginning, the winery experimented with different grape varieties - Shiraz, Cabernet, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Zinfandel. In 1983, they won an award for their Cabernet Sauvignon: the best 1-year-old dry red wine. It established their reputation.

For many years, their Cabernet was considered one of the best made in Australia. It almost meant, for many years, they concentrated on making red wines.

In 1985, Cape Mentelle’s owner established their sister winery in New Zealand, Cloudy Bay. Huge success with the Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc turned their Australian side toward white wines. And the Cape Mentelle Sauvignon Blanc-Semillon was born.

Hopefully, you remember this wine from our previous visit? It is 57 percent Sauvignon Blanc and 43 percent Semillon.

Its style emphasizes the fruit forwardness of each variety and adds in the complexities and weights of blending the two. The wine is juicy clean with cassis, juniper berry, pepper, passion fruit and citrus; aromas and flavors; and honey notes and a creamy texture.

Just when you think you don’t feel like a Sauvignon Blanc, there’s a perfect alternative. For $14.99 But, now, we get to discover our new, new wine. The Cape Mentelle Rosé is made from 71 percent Shiraz and 29 percent Grenache.

These grapes come from their Crossroads vineyard, the only Grenache vines they own were planted there 13 years ago along with some Shiraz.

They get more Shiraz from just north of here, in the Wilyabrup area. The soils are geologically-ancient with free draining sandy loams and a large percentage of lateritic gravel. The soils and the climate allow for the Shiraz to develop pepper notes and the Grenache to explode with complex fruit flavors.

This is a beautiful wine, starting with the color that is like watermelon and rose-colored edges. The aromas and flavors include strawberries, cream, cranberries, roses, melons (including watermelon), lemon, basil leaves and citrus fruits. There is a fresh acidity, minerality and salinity.

The complexities of this rosé let it pair well with a range of foods, from simple to elaborate. Sushi. Seafoods and shellfish of all sorts. Grilled, roasted, chilled, raw. Cream sauces. Tomatoes and tomato sauces. Vegetable dishes. Herb sauces. Cheeses. Gazpacho. Ceviche. And, my favorite, Sunday afternoon nibbles.

For $14.99. Enjoy!
