Water Festival 2016 promises to be best ever

By Kat Walsh

“You had to be there.”

It’s the answer most often given when people attempt to describe the events and experiences of Water Festivals past.

It’s a tradition in the community, and those who have left tend to migrate back every year.

This ultimate Southern summer celebration has something for everyone and shouldn’t be missed.

With that advice in mind, here’s an overview of some of the events where you have to be at the 2016 Water Festival, so later you can say you were there: FRIDAY, JULY 15 Beaufort Sandbar Concert What: A brand new event

Beaufort Sandbar Concert: A new beginning for Water Fest

By Kat Walsh

Two Beaufort traditions — the Sandbar and Water Fest — will soon come together and, hopefully, become a new tradition.

The First Annual Beaufort Sandbar Concert will take place at 1 p.m. Saturday, July 16, at the Sandbar.

Rising country singer-songwriter Pat Cooper and his band will play on a floating stage specifically equipped for the concert.

The idea — kicking off Water Fest with a live band on the Sandbar — is something co-founders Blake Gruel and Jake Owens have spent over half a year making a reality.

“I've heard of stories of shrimp boats bringing live bands in the past, we wanted

to make it happen on the sandbar,” says Gruel, who was Cooper’s fraternity brother at USC. “It’s a great opportunity for Beaufort and the Water Fest to be host to something unique,” said Owens.

But serious fun takes serious work and time, as Gruel and Owens discovered.

“I honestly did not think that they realized just how much work and preparation that this would take to pull off,” said Cooper.

“I was a little unsure about this whole thing in the beginning,” added Owens.

But they went to work immediately. A Facebook page quickly gathered interest, a GoFundMe account raised initial funds, and

This year’s Water Festival commodore, Chris Canaday, is raring to go.

persistence secured approval from the U.S. Coast Guard.

But travel expenses remained an obstacle.

When the pair introduced the idea of sponsorship and the first sponsor came on board, the final pieces fell into place, and the dream became a reality.

Cooper has added an additional show, performing at Q on Bay at 9:30 p.m. Friday, and a film crew will be in attendance.

“We’re shooting the entire weekend of shows, both Friday and Saturday,” said Cooper. “So we are asking for everyone to come out in full force and be apart of the filming the first video for my single ‘Burn.’”

Police: Unhappy customer kidnaps employee

An alleged kidnapping and robbery took place recently at an auto shop on Sea Island Parkway in Beaufort.

Beaufort County Sheriff 's Office went to the business at about 5:30 p.m. July 5 in response to an activated alarm.

When deputies arrived they found five men locked in the business, according to a sheriff ’s office release. One of the men was an employee and the other four were allegedly holding him against his will, the report states.

One of the men, Jamarri Kirby, 21, had repairs done to his vehicle and he was not satisfied with the work that was completed.

The doors were locked by the other men and threats were made toward the employee about returning the money that was paid for the repairs, the report states.

The four men were arrested and charged with kidnapping and strong-arm robbery.

They are Kirby, Derio Young, Ronald Mattie Jr. and David Frazier.

They were taken to the Beaufort County Detention Center.

Driver killed in wreck on Trask Parkway

One driver was killed and two injured in a two-vehicle accident last week on Trask Parkway.

Burton firefighters responded to the accident

by Whale Branch Middle School and found a heavily damaged Nissan and Dodge pickup.

Occupants in both vehicles were trapped.

Firefighters worked quickly to free the occupants. A young male driver of the Nissan was dead. He was not believed to be wearing a seatbelt. The two occupants of the pickup truck were transported to Beaufort Memorial Hospital with unknown injuries.

Burton firefighters remained on the scene for over five hours, assisting the injured, the deceased and removing roadway hazards.

Both northbound lanes of Trask Parkway were closed while emergency crews worked on scene and traffic was redirected.

Fire, fatal accident over the weekend

Burton Fire District firefighters were called to Martin Lane in Seabrook at about 2:30 a.m. July 11, where a doublewide mobile home was on fire.

Firefighters were able to quickly contain the growing fire within the mobile home park, and searched the remnants of the home for the occupant, who has not been located. Firefighters remained on scene for over four hours putting out the fire and searching for the possible victim.

The Beaufort Fire Department also responded and assisted at the fire. The Beaufort County Fire Scene Investigation team is investigating.

That fire occurred within a mile of a fatal car accident that occurred July 10 on Trask Parkway in which firefighters rescued three trapped occupants. However, the male driver died.

The Burton Fire District responded to 18 emergency calls over the weekend of July 8-10, the majority of which were for emergency medical assistance, and included a water emergency and a gas leak.

North of the Broad Reporter

Two vehicles involved in a crash on Trask Parkway suffered heavy damages.

The Burton Fire District has responded to 140 motor vehicle accidents in 2016, and approximately 58 of those accidents occurred on Trask Parkway, including another fatality involving a motorcyclist on May 26 at the intersection of Trask Parkway and Laurel Bay Road.

Fire district releases Insurance rates could on successes drop thanks to firefighters report The Lady’s Island-St. Helena Island Fire The Burton Fire District improved its Insurance Services Office (ISO) grading from a Class Three to a Class Two, placing it in the top 2 percent of the 51,000 fire departments evaluated and classified by ISO nationally, which may also result in reductions to local insurance policies.

The ISO grading scale is a one to 10 scale, with a Class One being the best fire protection possible.

Burton fire officials encourage their citizens and businesses to check with their insurance carrier for any premium reduction to their insurance policies.

Burton was last inspected by ISO in 2012 and was awarded a Class Three; however, a recent inspection by the ISO determined that Burton had improved their services to a Class Two grading level, which not only means a higher classification and possible insurance savings, but more importantly it also translates into improved fire protection for its citizens as well.

Fire departments are inspected and awarded points by the ISO on many aspects of department operations to include; personnel, equipment, training, response times, water supplies and communications. Burton was able to maximize points for their fire apparatus and equipment which were found to be well suited for the unique area protected by the fire district, and also received high scores for its training program which meets or exceeds national standards.

New to the ISO grading program are points for community outreach in which Burton again received high marks in community risk reduction. Burton was awarded high grades for its fire inspection and smoke detector programs, as well as their arson investigation program and local school visits for fire safety education.

District recently released a report highlighting some recent accomplishments.

They include: • In December 2015, renovations to the St. Helena fire station on Sea Island Parkway at Fripp Point Road were completed. The renovation consisted of demolishing the interior of the existing building, raising the floor level above flood plain, completely renovating the interior space, constructing a new entrance and making the general appearance more consistent with the surrounding area.

This renovation was accomplished within existing budgetary limitation and did not require raising taxes.

• In February 2016, it recognized several of its firefighters for outstanding performance and professional excellence demonstrated during the past year (2015). Most notably, firefighter Samuel Negron was recognized as Firefighter of the Year, and for the second year in a row Lt. Brian Smith was awarded the Officer of the Year.

• Due to the growth in the area and to ensure the Lady’s Island–St. Helena Fire District is prepared, it is always studying new developments, homes and commercial growth.

It studies and prepares for each of these new additions, always keeping in mind resident and firefighter safety.

• From Jan. 1-June 20, the fire district has responded to 1,079 calls for assistance, and the average response time was 5 minutes and 44 seconds. These calls for service include 25 building fires, 13 car fires, 15 brush fires, 35 vehicle accidents, 114 fire alarms, 10 unauthorized burning complaints and 700 medical emergency calls.

Battery Saxton site gets cleaned up Beaufort leaders and a local historic preservationist walked the Civil War Battery Saxton site recently to review Beaufort’s clean up after construction equipment for Boundary Street intruded on the protected park.

Equipment and materials still near the Battery Saxton site are in the Boundary Street right-of-way and apart from the actual earthen-work Battery Saxton. That part of the park has been marked off with silt fencing since construction started. The materials, part of an improved drainage system, are scheduled to be installed below ground later in July.

As part of the city’s clean-up efforts, more than 300 cubic yards of soil were moved from the city park and the site was leveled. Grass seed will be planted without disturbing the integrity of the historic site any further.

Battery Sexton was an elongated dirt mound built in 1862. It was part of a series of earthworks built by federal troops occupying Beaufort during the Civil War. Laid out by the 1st New York Engineers with the assistance of black laborers, it featured three 8-inch howitzers and was occupied by Union troops from 1862-65 as one of two batteries anchoring a line from Battery Creek to the Beaufort River.

Prior to becoming a city of Beaufort park, the property was used by a car repair business.

In 2001, the Historic Beaufort Foundation erected a marker on the site. Battery Saxton is named for Brig. Gen. Rufus Saxton, an ardent abolitionist who served for most of the Civil War in and around Beaufort in the Union Department of the South.

Construction along Boundary Street started in January. The lay-down site beside Wendy’s and adjacent to the Battery Saxton site was used for equipment and materials such as storm drainage and curbing.

These photos show the Battery Saxton site in early June with construction equipment, then July 6 with the property cleaned.

“Beaufort’s history is an essential part of what makes our city special,” Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling said. “We took the necessary steps to repair the damage we caused at this city park and historic site. When the Boundary Street project is complete, Battery Saxton will be showcased as part of a larger open park area.”

When completed, Boundary Street will remain a four-lane roadway but will feature improved intersections with traffic signals; left-turn lanes; a landscaped middle median; and sidewalks and pathways for pedestrians.

The project is scheduled for completion in 2018.

A new intersection at Boundary Street and Robert Smalls Parkway is expected to open in August.

NEWS BRIEFS Ribbon-cutting to be held for Bluffton flyover

There will be a ribbon-cutting at 10:30 a.m. Friday, July 15, for the Bluffton Parkway flyover.

Drivers coming from the mainland and those coming off the island are expected to see less congestion and fewer delays when the flyoever opens, according to officials.

More than 53,000 vehicles travel on that stretch of west and east U.S. 278 daily.

The South Carolina Department of Transportation estimates traffic on 278 will decrease by 25 percent once the flyover opens. However, there is concern among many drivers that the merging on and off 278 will cause more congestion on and off the bridges to Hilton Head Island.

The $45 million project began in May 2013 as a 30-month project. It was paid for by a 1-percent sales tax that county voters gave the nod to in 2006 and a $15 million Federal Highway Administration grant from the South Carolina Department of Transportation.

The mile-long elevated roadway will start at Buckingham Plantation Drive and cross the marsh between The Gatherings and Buckingham Landing.

Meetings scheduled to discuss fisheries

The S.C Department of Natural Resources has scheduled a series of public meetings at locations around the state to discuss proposed changes for state laws governing the harvest of “diadromous” fisheries (shad, herring and eel).

“This is an effort to inform the public of proposed changes to the laws that govern these fisheries, and at the same time receive feedback and suggestions for how we might do things better,” said Bill Post, DNR fisheries biologist and Diadromous Finfish Research Section manager. "We encourage input from the public and are willing to incorporate any suggestions into the proposed changes provided that such changes can be justified biologically and that they fall within current guidelines set forth by federal mandates."

The proposed changes are designed to simplify and consolidate laws for shad, herring and eel.

A working group made up of senior staff from the DNR’s Law Enforcement, Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries and Marine Resources divisions, and the agency's Licensing, Permitting and Legal Affairs offices, will consider all comments and suggestions received during the public comment period as they consider drafting a proposal for legislative changes to the current laws. The proposal will also have to meet with DNR board approval and be sponsored by a state legislator before it can be debated or approved by the S.C. General Assembly.

The Beaufort County meeting will be held from 6-8 p.m. Wednesday, July 20, at the Technical College of the Lowcountry in Beaufort.

For those unable to attend the meeting, comments can be made/received electronically by visiting the “Chapter 7 - Shad, Herring, Eel Legislation Public Meetings” page on the DNR website at dnr.sc.gov.

County auditor’s branch closing for renovations

The Beaufort location of the Beaufort County Auditor’s Office will be closed beginning at noon Thursday, July 14, through Monday, July 18.

The office will return to normal operating hours Tuesday, July 19.

The closure is due to office renovations designed to help serve residents more efficiently.

The Bluffton and Hilton Head Island locations of the auditor’s office will remain open for normal operations during this closure.

Hilton Head named best island in country

Hilton Head Island has been named the No. 1 island in the continental U.S. in Travel + Leisure's 2016 World's Best Awards, and was also ranked among the top 10 World's Best Islands.

The island landed on these coveted lists thanks to its reputation for pristine beaches, endless opportunities for recreation and relaxation and world-class accommodations and restaurants.

The Travel + Leisure editors called Hilton Head Island "an outpost of Southern hospitality and traditional American recreation."

HEALTH

Why does my hip hurt? Location, location, location Hip pain is a frequent problem we see everyday in our orthopaedic practices. Although there are several sophisticated imaging tests to help diagnose the cause, figuring it out usually starts with simply asking where it hurts.

The following are generalities but usually get us pointed in the right direction as to the cause of hip pain: • Groin pain usually represents a hip problem like arthritis.

• Pain on the outer side of your hip usually represents hip bursitis.

• Buttocks pain often represents a back problem, especially if it radiates from the buttocks to the thigh.

Often a patient will come in complaining of hip pain and it turns out they are referring to

Everyday Orthopaedics

Edward R. Blocker, MD, is a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon with Beaufort Memorial Orthopaedic Specialists. A graduate of the Medical University of South Carolina, Dr. Blocker completed his internship and residency at the Greenville Hospital System University Medical Center and the Shriners Hospital for Crippled Children - Greenville Unit. He has been practicing in Beaufort for the past 18 years.

their buttocks as the location of the discomfort. It’s not intuitive but if you point at your groin you are pointing at your hip. So with hip joint problems like arthritis, the groin is usually the location of the pain. If the pain is in your buttocks, it may not be a hip problem.

Hip bursitis is inflammation of a prominent part of our hip called the greater trochanter.

Prominent bones usually have a cushion-like tissue over them called a bursa. When a bursa becomes inflamed we call it bursitis. So greater trochanteric bursitis is inflammation of the bursa of our hip and because it is located on the outer side of our hip, that’s where it hurts.

(Placing the suffix “-itis” on the end of any word means inflammation of that part.)

Our spine is like an electrical breaker box.

Just as a breaker box contains many wires that go to different parts of your house, the spine houses the nerves that then travel out to our body parts. In the case of our lower back, the lumbar spine, these nerves travel down our lower extremities. Even a pain in your foot can sometimes be sourced back to your spine as a cause. Irritation of a nerve in the very lowest portion of your lumbar spine will often cause buttocks pain.

The above are generalities. There are always exceptions that make the practice of medicine a challenge. Fortunately, we have imaging studies like X-rays, MRIs and CTs that can be employed to confirm or refute the initial diagnosis.

Dentures don’t have to be cheap to be affordable When you need dentures, you don’t have to compromise to find a solution you can afford. Quality, custom dentures are within reach for most anyone.

However, jumping to a same-day solution can mean regret, discomfort, and a fit that reminds you all the time that you’re not using your own teeth.

Avoiding this disappointment just takes a little planning.

Your options are greater than you might think.

The variety of dentures available

Dr. Stephen Durham, DMD, MAGD, practices at Durham Dental at Town Center in Beaufort. For more information, 843379-5400.

today is unprecedented, so an excellent fit can also fit the patient’s budget. And the results from across the cost spectrum can still be a breakthrough in the patient’s appearance.

Not only are the teeth brilliant, even and straight, but the patient’s whole face is brighter from a new sense of well-being.

A great fit can mean more than good eating.

A properly fit pair of dentures can open up a new, pain-free life for many patients, too.

It starts with finding your jaw’s ideal alignment, and a properly equipped dental practice can do that now with digital efficiency.

Research suggests that 30 per-

cent of adults suffer from TMD – temporomandibular disorder.

That’s a strain on the jaw and neck muscles caused by poor alignment of the jaw.

Twice that many people may have TMD and not know where the pain is coming from. It can show up as neck pain, poor posture and sleeps disorders, so TMD is sometimes called “the great pretender.”

With dental care that’s based on finding your own ideal bite, your new dentures can relieve TMD by

aligning the jaw to relax all the muscles around it.

A little care can make a lot of difference.

Before seizing a same-day solution for dentures, consider better options. You can be rewarded with a lifetime of greater comfort, confidence and joy of living.

It starts with a thoughtful consultation at an up-to-date dental practice.

A call today can lead to a happier smile, sooner than you might have thought possible.

ARTS

Beaufort Arts Council offers range of classes

By Kat Walsh

There’s something about art and adulthood. One might make the other easier, or at least a bit more fun.

Or maybe we just don’t want to be so serious all the time.

Whatever the reason, adults are getting into art: In 2015, 12 million adult coloring books were sold in the United States.

In downtown Beaufort, the arts continue to take off.

The Beaufort Arts Council, previously known as ARTworks, focuses on expanding the presence of art in the daily lives of residents and visitors, and providing facilities for artists where their work may be displayed, produced, sold and housed.

One arts event that is taking off is “wineand-paint” nights, which are popping up everywhere.

“Our wine-and-paint nights have been some of our most popular classes,” said Ali Salters, business development manager of Mather Academy, the educational arm of the Beaufort Arts Council. “But we are — and offer — so, so much more.”

Similar to Penland, Haystack, and other craft schools throughout the nation, the academy sees itself as a destination, offering a variety of art classes and extended courses ranging in visual, craft and functional arts.

Named after Rachel Crane Mather, who created a school to educate the daughters of liberated slaves in 1867, Mather Academy provides art opportunities for any person, at any level, at any age.

The classes are so diverse and wide ranging it’s almost mind-boggling. Around 35 courses are currently offered, including Glass Mosaics, Drawing and Painting, Sweet Grass Basket Making, Glass Ornaments, Wreath Making, Pumpkin Carving, Jewelry Making and Batiking.

Soon, the course list will grow ever more.

A kiln will arrive in the fall, allowing the academy to offer clay body courses, such as wheel throwing and ceramics.

“We will really expand at that point and are terribly excited about it,” said Delene Miller, president of the BAC board of directors.

All these classes, spanning seemingly every medium and media, all at 916 Port Republic St.?

Well, no.

Private group classes are also offered onsite or at the group’s location. “We can do anything with a private class,” said Miller.

“We offer the traditional wine-and-paint classes, as well as more unique experiences, from batiking to metalworking. If we can bring the equipment to you, we can do it.”

One of the academy’s newest endeavors is small groups that meet for a series of sessions and try out the different art forms available.

“It’s not only one fun wine-and-paint night, but it’s a group learning together about the different art forms,” said Miller.

“It’s about play, not pressure, and groups can be targeted to a specific need, such as teambuilding, relaxation or stress reduction.

“The experience of it – getting a group of people together, whether they know each other or not, and have a good time – that creates a good exchange,” said Salters.

The teaching artists at Mather Academy also play a large role making every class a memorable experience.

“Our teaching artists are absolutely passionate about what they do,” said Salters.

“Because they simply love teaching art, they’re very flexible, enthusiastic and always more than willing to help any way they can.”

Lynn Fote cuts rounded corners on her piece of copper. When she has the basic shape cut out, she will use and old fashion file to smooth the edges, clean with mild acid and apply heat to “paint” an image on the metal.

David Murray adjust the flame of his mini torch to apply the heat to a pin-point area on his sheet of copper. The heat changes the color of the metal allowing the artist to create images.

As wide-ranging and growing as Mather Academy is, it’s only part of The Beaufort Arts Council.

Its current gallery display, which runs through Aug. 1, focuses on a local iconic landmark many Beaufort residents and visitors know well: Little Blue, the remaining beach house on Hunting Island.

“Last Cabin Standing: Little Blue” commemorates Little Blue and raises awareness of the coastal erosion that affects our local beaches.

With several art galleries and artisans blocks away from the BAC, Miller stresses cooperation, not competition.

“The Beaufort Arts District provides excellent opportunities for us to collaborate with the downtown galleries and provide further exposure for artists.”

And it’s working. In partnership with the South Carolina Humanities Festival, the BAC’s June Art Gallery Exhibit, titled “Beaufort Through the Artist’s Eyes,” 17 local artists’ work were featured.

Beyond their immediate neighbors, the BAC is also working on an alignment with the Beaufort campus of TCL. “We’ve been given the Mather Library, once the original Mather School and namesake for our academy, to use as space,” said Miller. “By the end of this year, the goal is to have an interpretive center there and offer some classes.”

Now and in the near future, art opportunities await inside the doors of the Mather Academy and BAC. All you need to do is show up. For more information, contact 843-379-ARTS or www.matheracademy.org.

COMMODORE CANADAY

Longtime volunteer takes the lead at Water Fest

By Kat Walsh

Not many cities can say they have a commodore. Even fewer can boast that their commodore is a volunteer position that’s held for 10 days and is at least 10 years in the making.

But in Beaufort, they have the annual Water Festival, so bragging rights belong to them.

The Water Festival is one of the biggest events in Beaufort County, drawing people from Hilton Head to Bluffton to Port Royal and points in between.

Each year, a commodore is appointed to be the titular head of the wildly popular event.

Originally a naval rank, a commodore is similar to a captain, responsible for commanding the ship and crew.

Chris Canaday, this year’s commodore, sees his role in a similar light. He believes his main responsibility is to “make sure that me and my crew put on the best Water Festival possible for the Beaufort Community.”

While officially elected by the Water Festival Board of Directors, the commodore earns that title from years of hard work and effort.

In his 12-year history of volunteering with Water Festival, Canaday worked his way up the ladder. He’s been assistant treasurer, treasurer, sponsor coordinator, sales and admissions coordinator, parks coordinator, sports coordinator and program coordinator.

Canaday recently took some time with us to talk about the Water Festival and his role.

Q: When you’re not being the Commodore, what do you do for a day job?

A: I’m the finance manager for the town of Port Royal.

Q: How do you handle both – working and Water Festival?

A: My family has been very supportive of me during my Water Festival journey.

My wife and first lady, Stacey, has been a volunteer for 11 of the 12 years that I have volunteered.

Q: What is the first Water Festival you can remember attending?

A: One of my earliest memories was riding in the parade with my grandfather’s Shriner parade unit, the Omar Safety Patrol.

Q: What makes the Water Festival work?

A: It’s the selfless dedication of all our volunteers and the continued support of our loyal sponsors. Ultimately, it’s the Beaufort community that makes Water Festival “work.”

Q: What are the things you do that we aren’t aware of?

A: Meetings. We have lots of meetings that begin in September the year before Water Festival.

Q: Do any of your responsibilities make you nervous?

A: I don’t consider myself to be a public speaker. Therefore, I get a little nervous speaking to groups of people. I’ll be glad when my speech at Opening Ceremony is over!

Q: What excites you most about the lineup this year?

A: My favorite night has always been Opening Ceremony. It doesn’t get much better than the Parris Island Marine Band and

Chris Canaday is the official commodore of this year’s annual Beaufort Water Festival. Photo by Bob Sofaly.

Q: What makes the Water Festival so special and specific to Beaufort?

A: Water Festival is about the Beaufort community. We wouldn’t be going 61 years strong without its support. It’s a time for family and friends to come out and enjoy one another’s company while celebrating all that is Beaufort. the fireworks. But this year, I would have to say that Concert in the Park acts. Canaan

Smith and LOCASH are a must see.

Q: Final thoughts?

A: I’m looking forward to the whole 10 days of festival. I can’t wait!

SPORTS SPORTS BRIEFS WEIGHTLIFTING

RUNNING

Weightlifters win ninth championship

Team Beaufort Weightlifting recently brought home another championship at the USA Weightlifting Youth Nationals.

Nine lifters from the area competed in this event, which was held in Austin, Texas.

This competition is the highest level competition in the United States for lifters under 18.

This year’s contest brought a unique challenge: Three of the team’s members were unable to compete. One of the lifters, Dade Stanley, was expected to win his division, but suffered a serious wrist injury only weeks before the competition and had to withdraw.

CJ Cummings was in Tbilisi, Ga., competing at the Junior World Championships, so he was unable to compete at the nationals.

Finally, Omar Cummings, CJ’s brother and international medalist in weightlifting, will turn 18 this year and is now too old to compete in this age division.

With three of the “heavy-hitters” on the team being out of this competition, the team’s national ranking was uncertain.

However, the young lifters’ hard work paid off and they received their ninth consecutive championship title.

They also won the award for the best 14and15-year-old team and the best 16- and 17-year-old team.

Team Beaufort’s performances are as follows: Justice Little: 13u 31kg division, 48kg total Cole Fender: 13u 39kg division, 35kg total Ian Graham: 13u 56kg division, 76kg total Brandon Williams: 13u 69kg division, 68kg total Eli Smith: 14-15 50kg division, 111kg total Molly Smith: 14-15 58kg division, 102kg total Braylin Young: 14-15 85kg division, 214kg total (Young won his division and is national champion in his weight class) Joshua Desmore: 16-17 77kg division, 218kg total

Bobcat Scorcher 5K set for Aug. 20

Svein Borgersen finished first in both races in his age group.

ROWING

Rowing club brings home two golds

The Beaufort Rowing Club’s racing team returned to Beaufort with two gold medals from the regional rowing competition at Lake Olmstead in Augusta, Ga. The Augusta Championships regatta included 21 clubs with 229 rowers.

The Beaufort Rowing Club (BRC) is teaching adults and young individuals sweep-boat rowing and sculling and started racing in U.S. Rowing-sponsored regional and national regattas in 2014 with a group of member rowers interested in regatta challenges outside the club’s regular weekly sweep-boat rowing programs.

In the Augusta 2016 regional championship rowing regatta, Beaufort Rowing Club single-sculling member rowers competed against other single-sculling regional master rowing competitors.

Competing for the Beaufort Rowing Club in the Men’s Masters single scull 1x and in Men’s Masters light-weight single scull 1x, Beaufort resident Svein Borgersen finished first in both races in his age group.

Thanks to the Wardle Family YMCA of Beaufort County outstanding training facility, the Beaufort Rowing Club racing team and other rowing members are able to prepare the off-the-water endurance training.

The Bluffton High School cross country program is slated to host the 6th Annual Bobcat Scorcher 5K Run/Walk at 8 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 20, at 170 Hampton Hall Blvd. in Bluffton.

The event is open to all ages. The race will start and finish at the Hampton Hall Clubhouse in Bluffton.

The event's famous tie-dye T-shirts will be handed out to the first 300 registrants.

Custom medals will be awarded to the top three finishers in each age division.

All proceeds from the 6th Annual Bobcat Scorcher 5K Run/Walk will benefit the Bluffton High School cross country team.

VOICES

Meet a Marine family at Waterfront Park If you are looking for something fun to do on a Thursday night in Beaufort, I have a great suggestion for you.

First check out the listing for the Paris Island Marine graduation dates (graduations-for-basic-training.com/ParrisIsland/ Schedule.asp). Then go downtown to Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park the night before the graduation. The place is filled with Marine families who have come into town from all over the country to support their relatives.

And it is not just parents, siblings and spouses who come; there are aunts, uncles and grandparents, some sporting T-shirts that say “Marine Family” or “Semper Fi.” It is their way of signifying pride for a family member.

On a recent Thursday evening, the night before the Lima Company’s graduation, I

was out walking my two dogs along the waterfront. There were people swinging in the swings, riding bikes and playing Frisbee.

The live music from one of the outdoor patio restaurants was great and when the band started singing “Rocky Raccoon” everyone stopped to listen. Some parents were sitting in the pavilion just chatting and enjoying the scenery while children were out

running on the grass.

When some of the kids came up to pet my two little white dogs, it gave me a chance to talk to some family members. I met people from Florida, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and all over the United States who had never been to Beaufort. They told me how friendly everyone was in town.

This particular night was great because of

the refreshing breeze blowing and the low clouds on the horizon indicating another one of Beaufort’s spectacular sunsets was coming, the kind of sunset where the sun appears three times its normal size and the sunlight plays with the clouds as the colors streak out across the sky. Then after the sun drops behind the horizon you see the glorious pinks and oranges.

This was Beaufort’s gift to all those families, a thank you for supporting those men and women who support us. It is a reminder to them that the ability to spend time on a quiet summer evening in small town America is one of the reasons their relative has joined the Marines.

So if you have nothing to do on a Thursday evening, come down to the park and say hello to the many Marine families, and say thank you for their service, too.

Is Lady’s Island a suburb of Beaufort?

By Jim Hicks

Lady’s Island is a suburb of the City of Beaufort. As a resident of Lady’s Island this is not an easy statement to say or write but it is accurate.

The definition of a suburb, according to Webster’s Dictionary, is “a smaller community adjacent to or within commuting distance of a city.”

Although Lady’s Island has a population equal to or greater than the city of Beaufort, it still meets the definition of suburb both by technical definition and its residents’ attitude toward the city of Beaufort. Most of them do not want to be part of the city of Beaufort or to add another layer of government on their small community by incorporating into their own municipality.

In that regard, until 2005 the laws of South Carolina prohibited areas such as Lady’s Island from incorporating into their own municipality. In 2005 the law regarding incorporation was changed, making Lady’s Island eligible to become its own town.

But by that time the city of Beaufort had annexed a good number of the commercial businesses on the island and some undeveloped property.

After a great deal of study the general consensus of opinion did not support becoming a separate municipality and further analysis

B4

JULY 14 - 20, 2016

indicated it was financially impractical. Thus Lady’s Island became destined to forevermore be a hybrid of county and municipal services and governance. How this came about is an interesting story.

In 1980, Lady’s Island was a rural island with an agriculturalbased economy. There were 3,094 residents and one bridge. At that same time (1980), the city of Beaufort had a population of 8,634. Over the next 30 years Lady’s Island’s population grew by 306 percent to 12,570, while the city of Beaufort saw a 43-percent population increase to 12,361.

What caused Lady’s Island to experience this amazing amount of population growth?

Primarily, the answer is the availability of undeveloped land, the discovery by a lot of folks that the coast is a great place to live and the construction of a second bridge.

The state of South Carolina has very cumbersome and complicated annexation laws which do not support logical expansion of municipalities. They are based on the premise that a property owner must ask to be annexed before such action can be taken by a municipality.

In 1985, the city of Beaufort annexed the first piece of property on Lady’s Island. It was where the Dockside restaurant is presently located and occurred as a result of

“In 1980, Lady’s Island was a rural island with an agriculturalbased economy. There were 3,094 residents and one bridge...

Over the next 30 years Lady’s Island’s population grew by 306 percent to 12,570...” a property owner desiring to build a hotel at that location and the county refusing to grant approval. Although there were lawsuits challenging the annexation it was finally found to be in compliance with the state annexation law.

Over the following years the city of Beaufort annexed, on Lady’s Island, the property near the airport, a number of businesses, the Whitehall property, two public schools and St. Peter’s Catholic Church plus Upper Cane Island and Distant Island.

An uneasy peace between Northern Beaufort County governments was finally reached in 2007 in the form of what is known as the Northern Regional Plan. This plan established growth boundaries for the municipalities and within these boundaries Beaufort County agreed to support reasonable annexation expansion by the municipalities.

Today, the city of Beaufort, as a general rule, has no desire to annex residential property on Lady’s Island and directs its annexation efforts to commercial property in the Village Center along Sea Island Parkway.

So if Lady’s Island (the residential portion) is destined to remain in the county as a suburb of the city of Beaufort and the majority of the commercial portion along Sea Island Parkway to be within the city of Beaufort, what does the future hold in regard to the provision of services?

Beaufort County is organized to provide services to a rural population in the unincorporated portion of the county but not municipal-type services (keeping streets and sidewalks clean, corridor landscaping).

The city of Beaufort, while organized to provide normal municipal services must, at this point, decide how much and what type of services are appropriate for a hybrid area such as the Sea Island Parkway portion of its city.

These questions require tough decisions and have no simple answers.

Politically, the island has been divided at county and state level by the redrawing of voting districts to the point that 50 percent of the island votes in one district and 50 percent in another, and each of

these districts are drawn in such a manner as to include many other areas.

To say the Lady’s Island school board and council representatives are responsible to a wide range of constituents from many areas is an understatement.

At city of Beaufort council-level, the simple truth is that since the suburb of Lady’s Island is in the county and cannot vote in the city, having a Lady’s Island resident sitting as a member on the city of Beaufort council, which elects at large members, is not going to happen.

Understanding all of this, the need for having an organization, capable of representing all of Lady’s Island (residential and commercial) and maintaining a positive relation with both the city and county councils and their staffs is obvious.

Hopefully, Lady’s Island Business and Professional Association can serve that need in a productive manner. It is not now nor will it be in the future an easy task.

Jim Hicks is the chairman of the Lady’s Island Community Preservation Committee.

WINE

Wow! There's always more than one new wine!

Isn't it great? No matter how many new wines we learn and try every week, there's always another new one. There's a bit of a tweak, though, this week. We get to learn another new appellation. Always the lesson!

For me, it makes the wine better and easier to remember.

Our wine this week comes from the south of France, down toward the Mediterranean coast where the weather is much like ours: Hot, humid, stifling on days, and where it is almost impossible to drink much red wine. So the world of rosés opens its doors. There are many well-known rosés that come from this part of the wine world. Tavel from the Côtesdu-Rhône region and Côtes de Provence from the Provence region are two common ones.

Our new appellation this week is also located in the Provence area. It is known as Aix-enProvence. (To pronounce this, say "ace song" but no "g" sound on the end of song.)

Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island.

Aix-en-Provence was founded in 123 BC, by the Roman counsel Sextius Calvinus.

There were springs in the area, and Sextius gave his name to them. "Aquæ Sextiæ. Over the years, BC and after, this area was continuously fought over. In 102 BC, the Romans defeated the Cimbri and Teutones. Mass suicides among the captured women become woven into Roman legends of Germanic heroism.

The Visigoths occupied the area in the late 5th century AD. In the 6th century, Franks and Lombards plundered the city. During the

Middle Ages, Aix was the capital of Provence.

But, after the 12th century, when the houses of Barcelona, Aragon and Anjou came to the area, Aix became an art and learning center. In 1487, Aix came under the crown of France.

And, in 1501, Louis XII established the parliament of Provence. Interesting for sure, but all this also means wine was a part of life in the area for many centuries.

Our wine this week is the Bieler Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence Cuvée Sabine Rosé.

Philippe Bieler founded Ch Routas in 1992.

It was located in a smaller appellation, Coteaux Varois, in the middle of Provence. At Routas, they made Grenache based red and rosé wines. Their wines sold extremely well, and, in 2005, they received an offer for the winery and vineyards. They took it. That same year, Philippe and his son founded Bieler Père et Fils (father and son) and chose to make just rosé wines. Exceptional and still classic

Provence rosé wines with a delicate balance between floral, herbal, red fruit and acidity.

Tricky and difficult for some winemakers. But the Bielers have nailed it. For many vintages.

This wine is a blend of 40% Grenache, 25% Syrah, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cinsault and 3% Rolle. The aromas and flavors of our wine are so closely woven together, it is hard to catch them all. There are savory lavender, rosemary, rose petals, citrus, wild raspberries and tart cherries. This wine is crisp on your tongue, lovely crisp acidity, but rich also. There is a weight in your mouth that brings you back to your glass. Repeatedly. And a, bright pink color. Bieler sent 35,000 cases of this wine to the United States this year. The Bielers say it is the best rosé they've made in the last five years.

So, seems we have a test in front of us. Another Provence appellation offering another Provence rosé. Oh, well. Someone has to do it. For $10.99. Enjoy!

Nu Delta Omega works to raise Alzheimer’s awareness

The Nu Delta Omega Chapter of Beaufort recently participated in Alzheimer’s Longest Day. The Longest Day is a signature event of the Alzheimer’s Association held each year on the summer solstice that raises funds and awareness for Alzheimer’s disease, care, support and research.

The duration of this sunrise-to-sunset event symbolizes the challenging journey that so many living with the disease and their caregivers endure. Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc., a service-oriented organization, has partnered with the Alzheimer’s Association and committed to participate in The Longest Day, which is also noted as one of the organization’s Impact Days.

Nu Delta Omega Chapter of Beaufort was among 950 chapters nationwide and internationally making “an impact” by raising awareness and encouraging individuals and groups to become involved.

According to statistics, there are 47 million people worldwide and 5 million Americans living with the disease. There are approximately 80,000 cases of Alzheimer’s disease in South Carolina, with over 6,000 of those cases in Beaufort County.

Nu Delta Omega Chapter has dedicated time during the annual event to focus attention on the caregivers.

Three members of the chap-

ter have been caregivers and shared the fact that each day seems to have 36 hours when you are caring for a loved one.

According to research, nearly 16 million caregivers provide care to people with the disease, estimated to total 18 billion hours of unpaid care.

While there are local agencies addressing the issue, funds are needed to support families impacted by Alzheimer’s. Sorority members make monetary donations to the local Alzheimer’s organization annually and participate in its fundraising events throughout the year.

This year, June 20, was designated the Longest Day; however, the chapter events were held on June 17 and June 18.

A luncheon and program for caregivers was held June 17. Games and other fun activities engaged those present in some mind boggling, laugh-out-loud moments. The guest speaker, Cawana Tisdale, program

Willie Robinson, a 103-year-old Beaufort native, was one of the guests.

He does not have the disease and was an inspiration to the sorority.

Lunch was prepared by the UMW of Wesley UMC. A ceremonial cake decorated in purple was provided by the chapter. Each caregiver was honored and pampered during the three-hour respite, and were presented with gift bags filled with goodies to further pamper themselves at home.

On June 18, sorority members, adorned in purple and carrying signs, did a 1-mile walk on Ribaut Road to further its efforts for awareness of Alzheimer’s. The event was made more special by many others who made contributions: JCPenney’s Salon; TCL’s Cosmetology Salon; Plaza 8 Theater; Palmetto State Bank; Wesley UMC and Wesley UM Women.
