Water fest makes a big splash Staff reports

The Beaufort Water Festival got off to a terrific start with moving opening ceremonies with the Parris Island Marine Band and fireworks (check out facebook.com/theislandnews for video), the always popular raft

races and much more.

On July 16, thousands of eager children and their parents — and sometimes grandparents — converged on Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park for Children's Day. On hand were bouncy houses, football

kicking games, ball tosses and miniature golf.

All were free and geared for young children.

Here’s the lineup for the rest of the festival. The * indicates events where a free shutSee SPLASH, page A6

Reconstruction monument planning underway Staff reports

The National Park Service (NPS) will hold three public forums in Northern Beaufort County to begin establishing a framework for managing the new Reconstruction Era National Monument.

These open houses are part of a comprehensive planning process that will also include targeted stakeholder meetings, and research and analysis that contribute to the development of an NPS foundation document.

A foundation document identifies a national park unit’s core purpose and significance, its most important resources and values and the interpretive themes that tell its unique and significant American story.

“The foundation document will be crit-

ical to helping the National Park Service map out management plans and priorities for the new park,” said Reconstruction Era National Monument Superintendent Melissa English-Rias. “We are inviting the public to play a role in shaping the park’s future operations.”

Reconstruction Era National Monument’s foundation document will inform future park management decisions by outlining what is most important about the park and documenting what is needed to protect and preserve those assets.

Interested citizens can participate by sharing their thoughts on what is most important about the Reconstruction Era National Monument, potential issues that could

threaten future preservation and commemoration of the site, and what opportunities exist to improve the protection of and provide access to this national treasure. The project team will consider public input while developing the plan.

During the open house sessions, attendees will have an opportunity to hear formal presentations about the foundation document process, review material about the process, ask questions and share ideas directly with NPS staff.

Public commenting is also available through Friday, Aug. 18, at parkplanning. nps.gov/REERhttp://parkplanning.nps. gov/bicr; by email at reer_information@ nps.gov; by phone at 404-227-1507; and by

One person injured in 4-car wreck on bridge

The Burton Fire District responded to a motor vehicle accident July 10 on the Broad River Bridge resulting in one injury and traffic delays, and also assisted another driver in a separate incident who was suffering a medical emergency.

Burton firefighters responded to a reported motor vehicle accident on the Broad River Bridge just before 2 p.m. They arrived on the scene to a four-vehicle accident in the eastbound lane of the Broad River Bridge.

Three of the vehicles suffered damages.

Burton firefighters assisted one occupant who was transported to Beaufort Memorial Hospital with what appeared to be non-life threatening injuries.

Traffic on the Broad River Bridge was delayed for approximately 30 minutes while emergency crews assisted the injured occupant and removed roadway hazards.

During this accident Burton firefighters were also responding to a reported motor vehicle accident on Savannah Highway. Firefighters arrived and instead found a driver who had sustained a flat tire while pulling to the side of the road during a medical emergency.

The driver was transported to Beaufort Memorial Hospital and firefighters remained on the scene and changed the tire so a friend could drive the vehicle home.

The Burton Fire District has responded to over 170 motor vehicle accidents and over 1,081 medical emergencies so far in 2017.

which is believed to have been caused by a vapor cigarette.

The Burton Fire District was dispatched to a report of a vehicle fire in Port Royal on Robert Smalls Parkway between Castle Rock Road and Broad River Boulevard. They were on the scene in less than 4 minutes and found smoke and flames coming from a passenger vehicle on the side of the road. Firefighters extinguished the fire in 6 minutes.

While the fire remains under investigation, the male driver stated his vapor cigarette became hot and fell under the seat, causing the fire.

This area of Port Royal is protected by the Burton Fire District through a contract with the town of Port Royal.

No injuries were reported and two lanes of Robert Smalls heading west were blocked for approximately 15 minutes and further delayed for over 30 minutes while firefighters extinguished the fire and removed roadway hazards.

Beaufort gets kudos for foodie scene

Beaufort has been lauded on another national list, this time for its food.

USA Today’s Go Escape magazine recently recognized Beaufort as one of the “Towns That Lives to Eat.” “Often described as the most beautiful town

in the South, Beaufort, S.C., is surrounded by water,” states the article. “This Lowcountry island village perches halfway between Charleston and Savannah, Ga., where marshes glow golden at sunrise and sunset.

“While folks come for the history — Beaufort dates to before the American Revolution — the restaurants keep them satisfied. You’ll find shrimp and grits for breakfast, and a bounty of seafood at lunch and dinner.

“Noteworthy spots include Wren, Breakwater and Saltus River Grill restaurants, all serving sea flavors with farm produce.

On a drive out to tour St. Helena Island’s Penn Center, one of the first schools for freed slaves, stop by the Shrimp Shack for a shrimp burger.”

Here are 5 money tips for your college-aged child When his daughter was looking at colleges, Dan Prebish, director of Life Event Services at Wells Fargo Advisors, approached things a little differently than many parents.

He raised the issue of college finances while on college tours, asking tour guides questions such as, “How much do you budget for meals outside of the dorm?” and "Where is the nearest ATM?” Prebish found that sprinkling in financial questions provided an opportunity to get his daughter thinking about more than just the school’s curriculum, sporting events and Greek life.

Dinner conversations about schools she was applying to often featured discussions of scholarships. It was a strategy designed to help sensitize his daughter, Lydia, now 19 and a college freshman, to managing money.

Tracy Green, Tax and Financial Planning specialist at Wells Fargo Advisors, said money management is the most important lesson you can teach your children, because “they'll need that in their college years and beyond.”

Green, along with Prebish and his wife, Anne, share some tips for parents to help prepare their children for the challenges that lie ahead when they’re living independently as college students.

Tip 1: Discuss tuition and responsibility: Green said that before even applying to college, parents need to talk with their child about what type of school is within the parents’ budget and what portion, if any, the child will be responsible for covering.

“Everyone needs to know up front what they’re going to be responsible for by the spring or summer before college,” she said.

Lydia Prebish, for example, pays for her own entertainment expenses, such as movies or meals at a restaurant with friends. She saved money from a summer job and also works on campus.

“I think it’s always valuable for kids to have work skills, whether you need the money or not,” said Prebish.

The independent source of income helps provide students a sense of satisfaction and self worth, he adds. Because Lydia works two four-hour shifts a week, it’s manageable for her.

But Prebish said working, especially during the first semester as a student adjusts to college, may not be ideal for every student. Those who want to participate in many extracurricular activities or have a demanding curriculum may find it more difficult.

Tip 2: Focus on budget fundamentals: Anne Prebish said your children should learn the core concept of money, that is, understand how much money they have and know not to spend more than that.

“We have to be careful not to assume our kids know these things,” she said. Both she and her husband say it makes sense for kids to have a job the summer before college so they can accumulate savings. But managing that money during the course of a six-month semester can be a challenge.

They suggest sitting down with your child and dividing the total amount of money avail-

able by the months at school to determine a monthly budget.

“The first semester is about learning and keeping track of how you’re spending your money,” Anne Prebish said.

Tip 3: Think about debit and credit cards: The Prebishes and Green agree that a debit card is a key way to help students manage money. Dan Prebish said it’s an easy way to pay for items such as books, while Green adds it has oversight value — parents can limit spending on the card to the checking account balance.

She also suggests that parents get their child a secured credit card, where the parent fronts the cash deposit but the child is financially responsible for making on-time payments, as this is a way of helping the child establish a credit history without giving him or her free rein over a traditional credit card.

Tip 4: Don’t forget their health: Dan Prebish recommends verifying in advance what your insurance covers while your children are at college, specifically whether they’ll be covered for visits to a clinic on campus or whether the school requires that you purchase their health insurance.

Make sure to schedule routine medical or dental appointments during summer or school breaks so that they don’t go by the wayside.

And he said, it’s essential for a child to have his or her own durable power of attorney authorizing a parent to make financial or legal decisions if the child is incapacitated. A durable power of attorney for healthcare is also recommended, since professionals aren’t au-

thorized to share medical information with parents without explicit permission if the child is 18 or over.

He suggests scanning those documents onto the child’s phone and keeping a copy for yourself, so the documents are readily accessible. Green adds that doctor’s phone numbers and medical and insurance information should also be kept on the child’s phone.

Tip 5: Empower your children to ask for help: One suggestion Anne Prebish considers critical is to send the message to your college-aged children that just because they are adults living on their own, asking for a parent’s advice isn’t a sign of weakness.

“Part of being an adult is realizing other people are there to help you,” she said. And parents shouldn’t think they’re hovering if they assist.

“We have consistently been there giving our daughter our 2 cents and also letting her make choices,” Anne Prebish said.

Those discussions on college survival skills have helped their daughter transition well to her new environment.

“She was prepared for anything we could prepare her for,” she added.

Low inventory to blame for malaise

By Janet Gresham

There has been a general slowdown in home sales across the country, and this cannot be blamed on negative economic news. Unemployment remains low and wage growth, though nothing to overly celebrate, has held steady or increased for several years in a row.

There is strong demand for home buying, emphasized by higher prices and multiple offers on homes for sale in many submarkets.

As has been the case for month after month – and now year after year – low inventory is the primary culprit in Beaufort County for any sales malaise rather than lack of offers.

New Listings were down 6.0 percent to 250.

Pending Sales increased 6.2 percent to 240.

Inventory grew 0.8 percent to 1,005 units.

Prices were still soft as Median Sales Price was down 1.0 percent to $196,000.

Days on Market decreased 25.9 percent to 80 days.

Months Supply of Inventory was up 1.8 percent to 5.6 months, indicating that supply increased relative to demand.

With job creation increasing and mortgage rates remaining low, the pull toward homeownership is expected to continue. Yet housing starts have been drifting lower, and some are beginning to worry that a more serious

housing shortage could be in the cards if new construction and building permit applications continue to come in lower in year-over-year comparisons while demand remains high.

Homebuilder confidence suggests otherwise, so predictions of a gloomy future should be curbed for the time being.

Janet Gresham is the CEO of the Beaufort County Association of Realtors and the Beaufort Multiple Listing Service Inc.

After the opening of the newest Marvel Comics’ Spiderman movie on July 8, Spiderman paid a visit to Flashback Gear, where scores of children had their pictures taken with him and feasted on blue and red cupcakes topped with chocolate spider webs.

Chris Mullen, owner of Flashback Gear on Scott Street, said he wanted to create some excitement regarding the new Spiderman movie and maybe generate more retail business at the same time at the free event.

“It’s a character I always loved as a kid. I’ve been pretty giddy all week,” he said as the children lit up when they saw the super hero strike a pose.

With the help of one of his more athletic and limber employees, Adam Acher (Spiderman) dazzled the children with fluid moves and poses.

“We’re kind of throwing a little party,” Mullen said of his event. “The cupcakes from Cuppity Cakes were perfect. We wanted to throw a cute little event that the kids could come to on a Saturday morning and have a good time.”

Bridges Prep students continue studies at camps

While most students are enjoying a sum-

mer away from classes, more than a dozen Bridges Prep students are expanding their international connections and leadership skills at two New England camps in July.

Eight students, a guidance counselor and Bridges Prep’s new Upper School principal, Chris Wilson, traveled to Maine in mid-July.

There they attended a Leadership Camp at Colby College, followed by tours of historic Boston, Philadelphia, Washington D.C. and New York City.

They were working on their leadership skills alongside students from China, Greece and Maine, Bridges Prep Head of School Dr. Nick Ithomitis said.

The following week, a second group of eight Bridges Prep students and two staff members traveled to Maine for a YMCA Camp where they partnered with students from China.

Also this month, Bridges Prep families will host several students from China as they visit Beaufort.

“It is so important for young people to understand and appreciate that the world is bigger than Beaufort, bigger than South Carolina and, as great a nation as we are, it’s an international economy now,” Ithomitis said. “International study and making connections to students from other countries is an essential part of the Bridges Prep experience.”

The international study, Bridges’ emphasis on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), its commitment to the Paideia teaching and learning method, and overall high student achievement and growth in achievement combined in Spring 2017 to earn the school the State Charter School District’s highest award. As a School of Distinction, Bridges Prep also was named one of the top three state charter schools in South Carolina in May. “We take pride in helping our students achieve, and offering these international study trips is one more avenue to education,” Bridges board Chair Dee Matthews said. “At

the same time, we are expanding our high school curriculum and will be encouraging our students to try more rigorous and challenging courses.”

In November, 17 students and eight staff and parents will tour Greece for about 12 days and visit Bridges’ partner school in Thessaloniki.

In April 2018, school leaders hope to send another group of students to China. Other international study trips include Italy and possibly Portugal in 2018-2019.

Bridges Preparatory School was chartered

by South Carolina in mid-2012 and opened at near capacity in August 2013. Since then, enrollment has grown steadily with almost 600 students enrolled in K-9 this year. For the 2017-2018 school year, Bridges Prep will expand to 10th grade and in two years will be a full-service K-12 state charter school.

Local students produce educational games

A convergence of three local institutions – one with college coursework focused on local history, one a local business that supports educational initiatives, and one a new history center seeking dynamic ways to tell a story – have led to the establishment of the Education Station, sponsored by Kinghorn Insurance of Beaufort, at the Santa Elena History Center.

Professor Dr. Brian Canada, of the University of South Carolina Beaufort, challenged his students to create programming projects with a Santa Elena theme in mind.

This resulted in unique digital games developed around many aspects of Santa Elena, the Spanish settlement of 1566 on Port Royal Sound.

“From building puzzles of old maps to racing in ships across the Atlantic and conducting commerce throughout the village – the variety and quality of games produced

by local students, about local history, is very impressive,” said Megan Meyer, director of the Santa Elena History Center.

“We’re so grateful that the team at Kinghorn Insurance believed in this project and made it possible. Furthermore, we are grateful to Dr. Canada and USCB students for contributing one-of-a-kind games to share with the public.”

These games are available for children of all ages to enjoy during their visit to the Santa Elena History Center, adding to the menu of child-friendly resources and showcasing the work by USCB students in a public institution. Due to success of this project, Canada will continue with future classes, allowing the inventory of games in the Education Station to remain dynamic.

"Kinghorn Insurance of Beaufort is honored and proud to partner with Santa Elena and USCB to help promote education for youth in the community," states a release.

"This partnership will provide an opportunity to better understand the rich history, culture, significance and beauty of the Lowcountry. Kinghorn Insurance of Beaufort would also like to thank the many individuals that have donated time, talent and money to develop the Santa Elena Foundation as it truly has become a gem of Beaufort."

SPORTS BRIEFS Tagged fish makes angler's heart sink

When Larry Youngblood of Walterboro landed a slot-sized redfish in Rantowles Creek recently, his excitement quickly waned when he noticed a tag protruding from the fish’s body.

He feared it was a CCA South Carolina STAR tag, which is good for a free Sea Hunt boat, but only for anglers who are registered for the summer-long tournament.

And Youngblood, who had been planning to register for the STAR, had failed to do so before his week-long trip to the coast. He dreaded the thought of this being one of the

STAR tags. Luckily for him, the tag turned SOCCER out to be from a Charleston fishing guide who tagged the fish in May. With that fish in the cooler, Youngblood did what he’d been meaning to do since Memorial Day. He pulled out his cell phone, went to ccasouthcarolina.com, and signed up for the STAR. The first two CCA South Carolina members who are registered and catch redfish with an appropriate tag can win one of two Sea Hunt BX 22 BR Bay Boats equipped with a Yamaha 150 and a Wesco aluminum trailer. Each boat package is valued at over $40,000.

The tournament began on Memorial Day Shown here is the Beaufort County Football and runs through Labor Day. So far, no one Club. Photo provided.

Center for the Arts presents exciting season of shows

Staff report

The University of South Carolina Beaufort Center for the Arts has announced its 2017-2018 season of shows.

“Wow, this season the Center for the Arts is going to be the place to be to see incredible shows every month, sometime twice a month,” stated Bonnie Hargrove, CFA director.

On Sept. 29, Mainstage shows begins with the “Classic Nashville Road Show,” “here to remind us of a time when June fell for Johnny and Loretta was just a coal miner’s daughter,” according to a release.

“Let Classic Nashville Roadshow take you on a journey down memory lane with your favorite classic hits honoring the world’s most beloved country greats!”

The Beaufort Theatre Company will present “Conrack,” a musical based on Pat Conroy’s novel “The Water is Wide” on Oct. 13, 15, 21 and 22.

The Pat Conroy Literary Festival will return for the second year from Oct. 1922, with over 40 award winning authors providing film discussions, lectures, workshops and book- signings.

Showcasing one of the greatest voices of our time, Linda Eder will perform a one-night only concert on Oct. 28.

Eder’s repertoire spans Broadway, standards, pop, country and jazz. “When she performs live in concert, it is amazing to experience the ease with which she moves back and forth from one genre to another as if she were gifted with the vocal abili-

ty to perform each genre as well as all the other,” the release states.

“Comedy has always been popular with CFA audiences, so ‘The Wonderbread Years' show on Friday, Nov. 10, should be a sell out,” the release states.

“A fresh and funny salute to Americana, ‘The Wonder Bread Years,’ starring Pat Hazell (former Seinfeld Show writer) is a fast-paced, hilarious production that gracefully walks the line between standup and theater. Audiences across the country enjoy a show that not only restores a much-needed sense of wonder, but leaves audiences laughing and savoring the past like never before.”

The Beaufort Children’s Theatre’s 16th production on Nov. 17-19 will teach that “beauty is in the eye of the ogre,” with “Shrek The Musical JR.,” based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film and Broadway musical.

Back by popular demand, the Center for the Arts will showcase The Three Redneck Tenors with their popular “Christmas Spec tac-YULE-ar” on Dec. 9 and 10.

“It’s Christmas music like you’ve never heard and won’t easily forget. I guarantee ya! These real life Broadway and opera stars are ready to rock your holidays with classic, pop and deep-fried fest of musical delights,” the release states.

The Affair with the Arts, the CFA’s annual signature fundraiser, will be held on Jan. 20. Flirt with “Lady Luck” at the Vegas-style casino complete with dancing,

music, hors d’oeuvres and cocktails.

On Friday, Jan. 26, “Let’s Hang On,” a tribute to Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons will kick off the 2018 performing arts season.

Following is the rest of the lineup: • Cirque Zuma Zuma is bringing Africa to the Lowcountry on Friday, Feb. 9. This Cirque-style show is filled with non-stop action, music, acrobatics and amazing feats.

• Motown and More, on Feb. 17-18, will bring together some of the region’s best musicians, including Marlena Smalls, Velma Polk, Elaine Lake and the Lowcounty Jazz Band for a show that will pay tribute to Motown artists from Aretha Franklin, Dianna Ross, Gladys Night and the Pips and more.

• The son of legendary singer-songwriter Jim Croce, A.J., will perform on March 3 his show “Two Generations of America Music”. Croce features a complete set of classics by his father.

• A cappella music continues as part of the CFA season with Semi-Toned from Exeter University in the Southwest of England on Thursday, April 12. Semitoned is 14 men strong and in April 2015 earned the title of national champions, having won the Voice Festival UK. • The Beaufort Theatre Company’s production of the Broadway hit “The Producers” will be presented on April 28-29 and May 4-5.

• Roald Dahl's “Willy Wonka JR.”

will be the Beaufort Children’s Theatre spring production and will be presented May 18-20.

• The Met Opera Live in HD series will begin with Bellini’s “Norma” on Saturday, Oct. 7. There will be several other operas offered through April. Season tickets will go on sale on Wednesday, July 19. Full season tickets are $180; five operas for $80. Individual tickets are $20 and $18 for OLLI members.

VOICES

Festival reminds us to enjoy life In present society where the definition of social has morphed into one-sided conversations with a photo and a screen, our sleepy little town reminds us of the joys of face-toface, value in congregation and powerful pull of the sea.

Few occasions show human nature, soul simplicity and signs of a gentler time more than when a city celebrates as one.

One of those rare wrinkles in time belongs to none other than the Beaufort Water Festival. If you question the power of a social contagion, or the beauty of human nature, pack up your pessimism, sit back and absorb the enigma that is our beloved annual festival.

Watch stress-drained men trade in the business suits for the lighter weight of board shorts, well-meaning moms trade in fabric stitched in obligation and patterned in responsibility for skin-baring bikinis that replace years with

youth and vitality.

Even if just for a few hours, maybe a few days, the shrimper, the crabber, the lawyer and the preacher become simply Beaufortonians. The shackles of roles and responsibility merge Cherimie Crane into rivers of freedom, folly Weatherford and wardrobe faux pas.

Greetings change from the required and rote “How are you?” to an enthusiastic “Happy Water Festival!” Days turn to nights, nights turn to stories and those stories turn into folklore.

Time clocks and time sheets become a bit more forgiving. Differences disperse as the winds of well-wishes blow forth. Blue collar, white collar inevitably becomes no collar as the Water Festival is the great equalizer.

The only division is whether your chicken is a six piece and your swimsuit a two. The worry over current events, the weight of a world longing for laughter and the reality that tomorrow brings battles of varying degree all take reprieve on a blanket in the park.

A couple in their 60s will shag under the stars toe-to-toe with a pair at 16. Long love, new love, renewed love finds itself along the water’s edge.

Visitors question their own way of life as they observe with envy the sweet, slow summer nights that lead to warm mornings full of events and celebration that showcase that which can’t be simulated, only experienced.

Music echoes off our shores as life happens under the stars.

Land-locked laments fade as toes and woes submerge in saltwater and sand. Focus on troubles take second place to focus on tides.

Desk chairs empty and deck chairs fill. Quiet souls who hide behind societal norms unite on the sandbar to shine like polished pennies.

Monday morning will come soon enough.

There will be plenty of time to excuse away momentary mishaps and questionable quandaries.

For now, let your hair down, lift your spirits, ditch the shoes, lose the shirt, tap dance through the day, shag through the night, and douse the day-to-day dread with real life, real moments and real smiles. It's time to celebrate all that we are and all that we love.

Happy Water Festival Beaufort South Carolina from my family to yours!

Cherimie Crane Weatherford, owner of SugarBelle boutique, real estate broker and observer of all things momentous and mundane, lives on Lady’s Island with her golfing husband, dancing toddler and lounging dogs.

How to be a great mother-in-law The funeral service for my mother-in-law, Peggy Sanford Peyton, was held last week.

I’m certain there are a lot of guys who in their private-most thoughts have been good with seeing their mothers-in-law put 6-feet under, especially in those cases where in her later years the mother-in-law had moved in.

I’m not one of them.

In the course of the recent services and receptions and other gatherings since Peg’s (we called her “Peg”) passing, I’ve been asked about how it was to live with her.

Here’s the secret to her success.

Peg spent a couple of years as a single woman in New York at the Juilliard School during World War II, and four years as a single American woman completing her schooling in Paris in the years immediately after World War II. She didn’t speak much about those years, but I suspect she saw a lot of life at a crucial time in her life then.

Being a sophisticated person means a lot more than knowing which dress or necktie to wear, when to pick up which fork, the difference between prosecco and rococo and Chopin and Cezanne. It also Bill Rauch means having seen situations that look good go bad, and finding to your surprise things that start badly that end up well.

That was Peg. A sophisticated woman, she had seen too much to be caught off-base. She was devotedly non-judgmental.

What she wanted from life was just, well … life. Peg loved parties because she loved action. That’s what brought the glint to the eye.

There’s more.

As a grandmother, she understood that her children and their spouses were already

fully-baked. So she concentrated on her grandchildren, of which as her years increased she had many. In this pursuit Peg had one speed only: full blast positive. In her eyes her grandchildren could do no wrong.

One sobbing in wet pants and diapers, the other caked in mud and spitting mad, these were the very best children in the firmament.

There’s more.

Peg pitched in. Even when you knew she hurt (and she would never say she did) she would clear tables, fold laundry, put things right. It was easy to say to her with utter sincerity that she’d put in her time raising four children, that now it was time for her to rest and for the children and the grandchildren to pick up the slack. It didn’t matter. If there was something to be done, Peg was on it. But she never kept score the way some people — especially children — do. It was never “Well I just emptied the dishwasher, so how about

you feed the dogs.”

Not once.

Then there was the piano. When it comes to live-in grandparents, war heroes should occasionally tell war stories, ballplayers should when the time’s right play ball with the kids, great cooks should from time to time show the uninitiated around the kitchen, and musicians should in moderation play their favorite music. A concert pianist, Peg could knock out Chopin, Bach, Mozart and Rachmaninoff tunes right up to the end. If her memory sometimes let her down, her piano never did.

We’re the worse for your leaving us, Peg. But there’s a coming home party and a bunch of your long-lost pals awaiting you where you’re going.

Who needs crosswords puzzles to stay sharp?

There are numerous reports out today stating that seniors can stimulate their brains by completing crossword puzzles and playing games. These are called mental workouts and they push people to challenge themselves.

However, it has come to my attention that I will never have to do another crossword puzzle again to keep my brain functioning.

All I have to do is drive a rental car, go into a new restaurant or use a public restroom.

Let me explain.

It happened recently with a rental car. Instead of a normal key, I was given a key fob.

All I had to do was push a button to get the car started. Right away, I knew I would have to figure out where everything was in the car.

The radio was placed nicely in the dashboard as normal, however, the controls were on a panel between my driver’s seat and the

Crossword puzzle question: “What is a ten- letter word for frustrated?”

Answer: “Grrrrrrrrr!”

Then as I was driving away a voice said, “In

one half mile take a left on Beach Road.” Oh dear, it was a navigation system. And she was talking over my newly programmed radio station giving me the weather update at precisely the same time. I pulled over and discovered the button controlling my radio, also had a NAV control switch. I shut her off.

Crossword puzzle question: “What is a three-letter word for navigational system?”

Answer: “Map.”

Next a stop is at a restaurant for lunch.

There was obviously an automatic door, I know because it said, “automatic door.” But the question was: Do I walk right up to it and wait, or is there a button to push? Can I just push the door open?

Then there are the public restrooms. Are you familiar with those sinks where you are not sure if you are just supposed to stick your hands under the faucet for water or are you supposed to push a button? Same problem with the soap dispensers? And do not get me started on those air machines where you stick your hands in and watch as your skin starts to flap.

Yes, you can forget about the crossword puzzles. We now live in a world where automatic machines challenge us every day.

At this rate, my body will run out way before my mind.

S.C. in the national spotlight

By Richard Eckstrom

South Carolina has had a remarkable presence in the national spotlight lately: • For a few months, the national titles in three major college sports belonged to S.C. teams – the outgoing champion Coastal Carolina Chanticleer baseball team as well as the reigning champion Clemson football and USC women’s basketball teams. And the USC men’s basketball program certainly

gave fans a thrilling ride, making it to the Final Four for the first time ever.

• Debbie Antonelli, a Mount Pleasant resident and one of the nation’s top television basketball analysts, made national news when she was chosen as a commentator for this year’s NCAA men’s basketball tournament. She’s the first woman to call the tournament since 1995.

• In April, S.C. native and former USC

golfer Wesley Bryan won his first PGA Tour victory at the RBC Heritage in Hilton Head, securing a spot in the 2018 Masters.

In his rise to prominence in the sport, he joins fellow South Carolinian and former Coastal Carolina golfer Dustin Johnson, currently ranked No. 1 in the world.

• Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow briefly played baseball for the Class A minor league Columbia Fireflies. In his very first atbat in April, he hit a home run, making the night’s highlight reels and bringing a rare level of exposure to the second-year Fireflies team.

• In May, golfers from four S.C. colleges – Furman, College of Charleston, Clemson and USC – represented S.C. in the NCAA Division Women’s Golf Championships.

Only California, which has five times as many schools as our state, had a larger presence at the tournament.

• In June, proud South Carolinian Darius Rucker celebrated his eighth No. 1 hit as a country performer.

• South Carolinians are leaving their mark on national politics, with three of our own occupying positions of tremendous influence in federal government: Nikki Haley as U.S.

ambassador to the United Nations, Mick Mulvaney as director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, and Congressman Trey Gowdy as chairman of the all-important House Richard Oversight Committee.

Eckstrom Beyond headlines, there’s much value in seeing our home state represented on the national stage.

It’s a source of pride, a boost in our shared self-image, a reminder of what’s possible.

When people with whom we share a common bond achieve great things, it can inspire us to set high standards for ourselves.

I can remember a time, not long ago at all, when we were frequently told how outsiders looked down their noses at South Carolina.

Political figures often spoke of needing to work to "change the perception” of our state.

But if occupying the limelight is a measure of stature, I’d say South Carolina has much to be proud of – and much to be envied.

Richard Eckstrom is a CPA and the state’s comptroller.
