Boundary St., Day dock construction updates Here's an update on the recent construction around town from Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling. DAY DOCK CONSTRUCTION The Day Dock Construction is underway and on schedule. The safety and construction perimeter has been established and major excavations of ramp area are nearly complete. The impact to local businesses and operations appears to be less than expected. Operations at the A-Dock, H-Dock, Transient Dock, and Dinghy Dock are not affected. In short, the downtown area is open for business. O'Quinn Marine continues to prepare for the construction of the gangway area along the promenade. This work will continue through the second week in April. Between the second and fourth week in April, piles will be installed followed by the floats and ramp. During the pile-driving phase, some in the downtown district may hear the associated construction sounds, but the downtown area remains open for business and accessible to the public. Hours of pile driving will be between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Day Dock completion is expected no later than the third week in May. BOUNDARY STREET UPDATE The weather was not as agreeable as we would have liked this past week. Temperatures dipped below the threshold for optimal asphalt production for much of the week, resulting in lower productivity. This clearly demonstrates that despite the best plans, Mother Nature has the final word. Based on the projected lower temperatures this week, progress may be somewhat dampened. That said, the prime contractor along with our construction engineer continue to refine plans in order to ensure this project delivers as quickly as possible. Notwithstanding the weather, crews applied the final layer of asphalt to about 90% of the newly created Polk Street. CenturyLink began removing portions of their communications lines. Hargray reports that they will soon complete their service connections to various addresses and begin removing their lines. SCE&G reports continued progress even while sending some of the contracted workforce to address weather related outages in the Northeast. SCE&G reports converting about 50% of their customers to underground service so far. The project still anticipates removal of the poles and the remaining wires the third or fourth week of March. Landscaping and lighting continue to be installed. SCE&G Gas installed a new connection line in the vicinity of SC170 and Highway 21. As soon as that line is energized, they will demolish the older gas line. Removal of this line will not affect vehicle traffic through the area. The updated schedule of events are as follows: Construction, this week, will be occurring along the entire length of Boundary Street around the clock. Preparations for Boundary Street final paving begins at night with actual paving beginning as soon as the temperatures fall within acceptable standards. Polk Street will receive the final 400 feet of paving this week. Outside of the final patch on Polk Street, there will be no day time travel restrictions associated with paving. CenturyLink will continue to connect the last of their customers and remove overhead lines. Hargray reports they will soon follow suit. SCE&G will conduct bore operations to tie their lines in from North to South in the Vicinity of O'Reilly Auto Parts which will pave the way to completely convert customers from overhead to underground service. Please watch for crews removing overhead lines. The project remains on track for an end of the month completion.

2018 Idea House to be located in Habersham Nine sponsors on board for Coatal Living’s second Idea House
Meredith Corporation’s COASTAL LIVING brand announces that its popular annual Idea House will be built in 2018 in the Habersham community in Beaufort, South Carolina, a COASTAL LIVING community and a SOUTHERN LIVING-inspired community, and will be open to the public starting in June. This is the brand’s 35th idea house and its second idea house located in Beaufort. “We picked from the best of the beach— the design team, the building materials, the decorating products—and the location is just as important. We wanted this house to exemplify what COASTAL LIVING is all about,” said Sid Evans, Editor-in-Chief of the COASTAL LIVING brand. The 2018 Idea House will feature interiors by celebrated designer Jenny Keenan and is being built by Allen Patterson Residen-
tial, LLC. The architecture for the project is designed by Eric Moser of Moser Design Group. The marshfront home will showcase modern design trends and innovations while relying on classic coastal elements to maintain a timeless look. Keenan is known for her deft touch with color, pattern and texture and for her use of organic elements that make interiors feel casual and relaxed. Throughout the house, the architecture and building teams’ commitment to light-filled spaces keeps the focus on the lush marsh views. Ann Gobel, VP, Lifestyle Brand Sales, Meredith Corporation, said, “The COASTAL LIVING Idea House is a big win in print and digital and on our social platforms. We’re continuing that legacy of introducing our audience to new ideas in beach house design, and we’re excited to bring our spon-
sors to our award-winning Idea House program in Habersham.” There are currently nine sponsors of the 2018 Idea House whose products will be included in the home: AZEK® Building Products, Belgard, Carolina Lanterns & Lighting, Circa Lighting, James Hardie Building Products, Inc., LEE Industries, Lloyd Flanders®, Marvin Windows and Doors and VELUX Skylights. The custom-built home will be open to the public in Habersham from June 29 through October 28. In addition, COASTAL LIVING and sister brand SOUTHERN LIVING will host a sweepstakes for consumers to win a trip to visit one of the brands’ Idea Houses from May 1 until June 30. The 2018 Idea House will be featured in the September issue of COASTAL LIVING magazine, on newsstands August 10.

A breakthrough in breast cancer diagnosis, breast tomosynthesis, or 3-D mammography, delivers a clearer view of the breast tissue than traditional mammography alone, allowing radiologists to detect small tumors at their earliest and most treatable stages.

Some investors believe you can avoid risk by investing conservatively. However, there’s opportunity risk, which is the possibility of missing out on the chance to earn better returns by being more aggressive. This is just a small sampling. There are other risks, including some specific to certain types of investments. For example, bond investors face default risk – the risk the issuer will fail to make interest payments or repay the bond’s par value at maturity. 2. It’s usually linked with return. Possibly the most important thing to understand about risk is its relationship with return. The two generally go hand-in-hand: • If you put money into a low-risk investment, you should probably expect lower returns. • If you choose a higher-risk investment, you possibly could anticipate better returns. Of course, things don’t always work out that way. When you put money into a highrisk investment, you may not get better returns. In fact, you could end up losing your entire investment. But many investors continue to include riskier investments in their portfolios, often for higher return potential.

lenging. There are tools, like questionnaires, available to assist you. In addition, one indicator that you’ve exceeded your risk tolerance is when you find your investments’ performance is keeping you awake at night – especially when there’s market volatility. You may have a relatively low risk tolerance, and that’s OK. However, staying within it and having a reasonable chance of reaching your goals may mean you need to adjust your objectives (having, say, $750,000 at retirement instead of $1 million). You may also need to lengthen your time horizon, which is how long you have until you need to tap into your investments. For example, you may decide you need to work until 68 instead of 65 so you have longer to invest. 4. Help is available. Because risk is complicated, and it’s only one aspect of investing, you may need a professional financial advisor to help with building your portfolio. Look for one who will take the time to get to know you, including your risk tolerance, before recommending an investment plan.

Local fire district installs 30 JACOB Kits in school The Sheldon Fire District, having recently implemented the JACOB Kit program, installed 30 JACOB Kits in Davis Elementary School on March 7. Firefighters from the Sheldon Fire District, installed JACOB Kits in all of the classrooms at Davis Elementary. JACOB Kits are first response trauma kits that provide teachers with the medical equipment to immediately start caring for critically injured children. All teachers at Davis Elementary have been trained by firefighters in the national Stop the Bleed program along with additional first aid training. Davis Elementary is the fourth elementary school to receive the JACOB Kits with a fifth school, Shanklin Elementary, scheduled for April. All kits are installed by classroom doorways for teachers or emergency responders to quickly grab when children are injured.
Beaufort County firefighters have lead the implementation of the JACOB Kit program in full support and cooperation with the Beaufort County School District. County fire official state that recent events in Florida have only solidified their resolve and commitment to getting these kits into their schools and into the hands of the newly trained
teachers. Officials state their belief is “Our schools, our children.” South Carolina House Bill H5003 — introduced by Representative Jeff Bradley of Hilton Head, requiring bleeding control kits in all classrooms in South Carolina — is modeled after Beaufort County’s JACOB Kit program. The bill is currently in the Education and Public Works Committee, with a public hearing scheduled for March 20th. Local firefighters, EMS personnel, teachers, and government leaders, plan to make the trip to Columbia testify in support of this bill. To date all JACOB Kits have been paid for through local grants and donations. For more information, visit the JACOB Kit Facebook Page SCJACOBkit or email safetyed@burtonfd.org.

Archaeologists create map of 16th-century Spanish town Less than two years after discovering the location of an elusive Spanish fort on present-day Parris Island in Beaufort County, South Carolina, archaeologists have begun mapping a complex and vast array of archaeological features that can provide insight into over 4,000 years of history in the region, including a focus on the 21 year occupation of Santa Elena (15661587) to paint a picture of what life was like during the once-capital of Spanish La Florida. In 2016, University of South Carolina archaeologist Chester DePratter and Victor Thompson, an archaeologist from the University of Georgia, pinpointed fort San Marcos at Santa Elena, founded in 1577 by Pedro Menendez Marquez, the governor of Spanish La Florida. Archaeologists began excavating the remains of the Charlesfort and Santa Elena site in 1979, but they have never had a good map of the settlement. In a recent paper published in the journal, “Remote Sensing,” DePratter and Thompson discuss how they used remote sensing technology to map the various significant occupations of the site including those of Native Americans, French, Spanish, plantation owners, Freedmen, and World War I era U.S. Marine Corps. “By combining traditional shovel testing with remote sensing using radar and other instruments, we are well on the way to constructing a detailed map of the Spanish A6

settlement,” says DePratter, who conducts research through the university’s South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology in the College of Arts and Sciences. “It’s critical to gather the data necessary for putting together a comprehensive tool that will help us better understand what happened not only during the Spanish settlement of Santa Elena 450 years ago but throughout history.” The team’s most recent work provided new insights into the Spanish presence at Santa Elena occurring between 1566 and 1587. During its early years, the settlement went from military outpost to capital of Spanish Florida, but it was abandoned in 1576 due to a Native American attack. It was reoccupied in 1577 with the construction of fort San Marcos, but a decade later the town was again abandoned. At its peak, Santa Elena covered nearly 15 acres and had about 400 residents. Under the sponsorship of the Santa Elena Foundation in the summer of 2016, Thompson and DePratter worked with a University of Georgia archaeology field school to look beneath the surface of the 15-acre site. They sent pulses, and electric currents into the ground and measured differences in local magnetic fields in order to map the remains of Santa Elena. They worked to pinpoint locations of some of the lost Spanish buildings, including two missing forts, a church, shops, and houses, as well
trees. Analysis, assessments, and protection of the resources were necessary before downed trees could be removed. The Marine Corps plans to re-open the site to visitors in the next few months. No archaeological excavations have been conducted at Santa Elena since 2008, but the mapping project will likely provide the impetus for more detailed work on the site in the coming years. “Now that we have collected all the data with three instruments, we will move forward with detailed interpretations of our results to create the final site map,” Thompson says.

HEALTH
Beaufort Memorial, MUSC to open sickle cell clinic Beaufort Memorial Hospital (BMH) has teamed up with the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC Health) to open a sickle cell clinic, offering Lowcountry patients with the inherited blood disorder better access to expert care. The clinic, located on the second floor of the main hospital building, is part of the (SC)2 South Carolina sickle cell network led by Dr. Julie Kanter, director of sickle cell research at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC Health). Serving as a disease-specific medical home for sickle cell patients, the clinic will offer ongoing disease-modifying therapy with individualized treatment plans based on the latest evidence-based practices. Therapies will include hydroxyurea management, transfusion therapy and acute pain management as well as additional research opportunities. “Sickle cell is a chronic disease that requires a sustained, comprehensive approach to care,” Kanter said. “The goal of the clinic is to provide patients with access to a specialist to gain better control of the disease and improve their quality of life.” As many as 4,500 people in South Carolina – the vast majority of them of African-American descent – are afflicted with sickle cell disease, a group of disorders that causes red blood cells to distort into a sickle shape and break down prematurely, leading to anemia, shortness of breath and fatigue. The hemoglobin inside the red blood cell carries oxygen. In sickle
Are you brushing long enough? By Dr. Stephen Durham
You brush and floss your teeth twice a day and even watch what you eat. That’s why you can’t understand why you still occasionally need a cavity filled as an adult. While you may feel frustrated by this, there’s something you might have never considered. How long are your brushing your teeth each time? When you’re anxious to get to bed at night or out the door in the morning, the answer is that it might not be nearly long enough. Dr. Julie Canter meets with Nicholas Black, one of the first patients treated at the new Beaufort Memorial Sickle Cell Clinic. Also pictured are the clinic's certified nurse practitioner Annemarie Gierling Gault, NP, and Janice Bristow, RN, director of nursing supervision.
cell disease, the hemoglobin is damaged causing it to twist and break down. When these “sickled cells” clump together and block small blood vessels, it can trigger a severe attack called a sickle cell crisis. During these painful episodes, tissues and organs are deprived of oxygen-rich blood, which can lead to serious complications, including organ damage, heart failure and stroke. Because there are not enough physicians trained in sickle cell disease management, patients are often forced to rely on urgent care treatment. In most South Carolina hospitals, it’s the No. 1 cause of 30-day readmissions. At the new clinic, Dr. Kanter will make monthly in-person visits to evaluate patients, establish treatment plans and monitor their medications. She will be available for
acute issues via telehealth technology. An (SC)2 social worker also will be available to assist patients with psychosocial, health navigation and financial issues. BMH certified nurse practitioner Annemarie Gierling Gault will staff the clinic five days a week, providing care to patients in between Kanter’s visits. “I can assess their health status and determine what measures need to be taken to manage their pain and treat their condition to prevent the onset of a crisis,” Gierling Gault said. “If they’re having a crisis they can come to the clinic rather than the ER.” Beaufort Memorial’s sickle cell clinic is now open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. For more information or to make an appointment, call (843) 522-5015.
MARCH MAMMO MADNESS
American Dental Association Recommendations According to the American Dental Association (ADA), both children and adults should brush their teeth for a minimum of two minutes at least twice per day. That’s just one minute for your top teeth and one minute for your bottom teeth, but it can seem like a long time if you normally finish brushing in 30 seconds. You might also underestimate when trying to gauge how long it takes for two minutes to pass. Consider purchasing a timer and setting it on the bathroom counter. If you have children, setting the timer can even be a fun game for them. Another idea is to invest in an electric toothbrush with a built-in timer. Brushing for at least two minutes is the best way to ensure that you remove as much plaque and food particles as possible. Be sure to use a soft-bristled toothbrush that fits the size and shape of your mouth so you can easily reach all teeth. Additionally, don’t forget to change your toothbrush for a new one approximately every three months. A worn toothbrush won’t do an adequate job of getting your teeth clean and it could even create more bacteria in your mouth. Toothbrushing Techniques for Maximum Effectiveness How you brush your teeth is just as important as how long you brush your teeth. To start the process, place your toothbrush at a 45-degree angle pointed towards your gums. Next, move your toothbrush gently back and forth in short strokes that cover the entire surface of each tooth. As you’re brushing, make sure that you get the inner and outer surfaces of each tooth as well as its chewing surface. To get the inside surfaces of your teeth clean, tilt your toothbrush vertically and move it up and down several times. Brushing Your Teeth is Only Part of a Good Oral Healthcare Routine Keep in mind that food particles and bacteria can still become trapped between your teeth even when you brush for the recommended time each day. It’s important to floss your teeth at least once each day to prevent these substances from progressing to tooth decay. Flossing also removes food particles and plaque from between your teeth and gum line, which decreases the likelihood that you will develop gum disease. Eating healthy food, limiting snacks, and avoiding sugar and soda as much as possible is also essential for great oral health. Many sodas contain acid that damages the enamel of your teeth while sugar encourages the growth of bacteria. Lastly, don’t forget to schedule a preventive care exam and cleaning at least every six months. Happy brushing!

Sea Islands Center Gallery presents artist Frol Boundin
T
he Sea Islands Center Gallery at the University of South Carolina Beaufort presents the exhibit “Frol Boundin: Etchings, Monoprints Series” until the end of March. The artist reception will be held Friday, March 23, 5:30-8 p.m. with the artist talk at 7 p.m. Frol Boundin creates prints using a variety of printmaking methods, such as etching and intaglio, that deal with memory, perception of memory, the environment, landscape, and objects from the past. Boundin’s work explores the impact the symbolic structures have on the formation of personal memories and the mechanisms by which temporal experience can be expressed in two-dimensional form. The human transformation of landscapes, and the evolution of artificial and natural elements
into symbiotic ecologies, are seen as monuments to the changing of our perception of past and present. Nineteen abstract prints are featured in the exhibition. Some works are brightly colored and
others are boldly black and white. Boundin was born in Leningrad (St. Petersburg, Russia) in 1974. He moved to the United States in 1990 and received his Bachelor of Fine Arts de-
gree from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2000. During the following 10 years, Frol Boundin lived and worked in Chicago, focusing on largescale abstract paintings and prints, as well as collaborative installations and graphic design projects with local arts community organizations. In 2010, he moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico, and received his Master of Fine Arts degree with distinction from the University of New Mexico in 2013. He is currently working on an installation at ArtFields in Lake City, SC. The gallery is open on Fridays from noon - 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. For more information, contact Kerry Jarvis, public information coordinator, at 843-208-8030 or jarviskc@uscb.edu.
THE MET OPERA LIVE IN HD AT USCB CENTER FOR THE ARTS
Don’t miss the opera classic ‘La Boheme’ By Alan Schuster
“I’m made to cry by Puccini, and I never am by Verdi.”: Jonathan Miller, one of the world’s leading opera directors. Very likely, he was referring to each of the three consecutive operas the composer wrote between 1896-1904 [La Boheme, Tosca, Madam Butterfly]. In a letter Puccini wrote to a friend about Henri Murger’s novel, ‘The Life of Bohemians’, he declared that “the book contains all I look for and love: freshness, youth, passion, gaiety, tears shed in silence, and love that creates joy and suffering.” All of this – and more – is at the heart and soul of “La Boheme.” Act I: Around 1840, in Paris, four Bohemians, the poet Rodolfo, the painter Marcello, the musician Schaunard, and the philosopher Colline, live in an attic. They are poor, but happy. It’s Christmas eve, and they intend to go to a cafe. Rodolfo promises to join them when he finishes a poem. A neighbor, Mimi, knocks on the door and asks him to light her candle. But Rodolfo’s candle also goes out. In the
darkness, Mimi accidentally drops her key and when they search for it, their hands touch. It is then that they fall in love, and leave to join his friends. Act II: At the Cafe Momus, the couple join his friends for supper. A toy seller is nearby with a flock of children. A commotion follows when Marcello’s ex-lover, Musetta, arrives with an elderly man. The couple exchange barbs but eventually re-unite, then they all depart, leaving the old man with the tab. Act III: A year later, on a bleak winter night outside an inn, a frail Mimi visits Marcello. She asks him about Rodolfo who has been recently cold to her. When Rodolfo appears, Mimi hides. Rodolfo tells him that he loves Mimi but she’s ill and he’s too poor to buy her medicine, nor care for her. Suddenly, Rodolfo hears a cough and sees Mimi nearby. They embrace, and while they profess their love for each other, still they decide to continue living separately. Meanwhile, Musetta comes outside and she and Marcello begin a jealous quarrel. The act
ends with contrasting moods being expressed by both couples. Act IV: It’s back to the attic. After some time, the four Bohemians are still living happily. Musetta enters with the dying Mimi who wants to die at Rodolfo’s side. His friends go out to come up with enough money to buy medicine for her. Now alone, the couple remembers the times they enjoyed together. When their friends return, Mimi takes her last breath. Rodolfo cries out, and then falls at her side. The Music. Act I: Alone in the attic, the couple join in a magnificent stretch of music [12 minutes], beginning with Rodolfo’s gentle aria ‘Che gelida manina’ (Such a cold little hand...), telling her about his life as a poet. Mimi replies with an equally moving solo about life as a seamstress, ‘Mi chiamano Mimi’ (Yes, they call me Mimi), leading to what becomes an emotional climax as they begin to leave the room. Rodolfo begins: ‘O soave fanciulla’ (O lovely maiden). Approaching the door, the rapturous duet peaks with three ‘amor’s, the final one sung off-

stage, fading in the distance. Act II: The only aria of this brief act is Musetta’s, who interrupts the gaiety of the crowd with the opera’s most popular known number, ‘Quando me’n vo’ (As I walk alone…). It’s a brilliant waltz tune in which she boasts that “all turn to marvel at my beauty,” followed by an impressive sextet with a rousing finale. Act III: Mimi and Rodolfo are alone in the square when she expresses her nostalgic view of their ending affair, ‘D’onde lieta usci’ (Back to the place I left….). This connects to a tender duet ‘Addio senza rancore’ (Farewell without anger…) which is interrupted by Marcello and Musetta’s continuous name-calling. The curtain closes abruptly, punctuated by two crashing chords. Act IV: Mimi and Rodolfo are alone as the others are seeking help. Pretending to be asleep, asks Rodolfo ‘Sono andati’ (Have they gone?) which leads to a warm exchange of the times they’ve enjoyed together. She is soon reduced to
murmuring phrases as her death becomes inevitable. When the others return, she passes away, ending with Rodolfo’s despairing cries of ‘Mimi! Mimi!’ No death scene in all of opera is more touching. It’s Puccini’s lyrical genius operating at the highest level. The cast: Franco Zeffirelli’s classic production has a cast of young stars, including Sonya Yoncheva as Mimi [Tosca, in January] and Michael Fabiano as Rodolfo. Susanna Phillips and Lucas Meachem sing the roles of Musetta and Marcello. Marco Armiliato conducts. Tickets now available. All seats are general admission.

AROUND TOWN BRIEFS Jonathan Linaberry: Singer of Blues and Folk, songwriter, multiinstrumentalist
When Jonathan Linaberry, from Brooklyn, NY, comes to Fripp on Sunday, March 25, he will have a Southern glow, no doubt, having just played in eight Southern states this month, and all in his jeans in which he feels “at home.” Jonathan’s mother made him play piano at age 6. He said he hated it, but was hooked, so he taught himself banjo and guitar, and has been composing and making music, mostly in the blues and folk style, ever since. Under the moniker of The Bones of J.R. Jones, he sings, plays his guitar or banjo, and wields drumsticks. He will perform on March 25 at 5 p.m. at the Fripp Community Centre, 205 Tarpon Boulevard. This concert is sponsored by Fripp Island Friends of Music and the SC Arts Commission. Attendees get a free pass at the Fripp gate. Tickets at the door are adults $25 (cash or check only), students free. A complimentary catered reception will be held after the performance. Visit www.frippfriendsofmusic.com or call 843-838-1777.

AROUND TOWN
The Beaufort Fund celebrates 20 years Coastal Community Foundation, a philanthropic organization serving coastal South Carolina, is pleased to announce that its Beaufort Fund is celebrating 20 years of grantmaking. This fund has awarded a total of $8,624,090 in grants over the past two decades to nonprofit organizations serving Beaufort, Jasper, Hampton and Colleton counties. The Beaufort Fund’s 2018 grant cycle awarded $578,450 to 52 nonprofits from the southern Lowcountry. This year, 23 nonprofits – almost half of all grantees – received general operating support, an important building block of nonprofit capacity. The organizations were lauded at a February 22 anniversary celebration bringing together supporters and nonprofit leaders from the community at Tabby Place at The Beaufort Inn. Remarks were made by Coastal Community Foundation staff members Veronica Hemmingway and Gloria Duryea, as well as Fred Washington, Jr., retiring longtime chair of The Beaufort Fund Committee. Washington attributed the success of The Beaufort Fund to the ability of a diverse group of stakeholders to come together around what they have in common in order to create solutions in an efficient way. “I truly appreciate the years that I have served,” said Washington. “This has been one of the highlights of my life.” Mr. Washington was recognized for his two decades of service to Coastal Community Foundation and his dedication to the betterment of the southern Lowcountry. “I have the best job in the world because I get to work alongside folks like Fred who are passionate about and deeply committed to their communities,” said CCF President & CEO Darrin Goss, Sr. Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling said of Fred, “You took over as leader of The Beaufort Fund when it was little more than a dream – and have led it to grow and serve more community agencies than one could have ever imagined. Your steady hand at the helm has created something our community
deeply needed.” “Tonight represents 20 years of leadership, 20 years of impacting thousands of lives across the four-county region this fund supports,” said Goss. “Twenty years later, The Beaufort Fund continues to be a catalyst for philanthropy in the Lowcountry.” He recognized the many nonprofit leaders in the room who “are out there every day doing the hard work to make our region better. They are doing the difficult and sometimes thankless work in the trenches every day…of changing people’s lives, teaching people to read, giving people hope, of giving them access to healthcare. This is the hard work that sometimes goes unnoticed. We are grateful and you inspire us.” The Beaufort Fund supports a wide array of nonprofit programs through special project and general operating support. The total grants also include awards granted last year to 12 three-year grantees, organizations receiving renewable support in recognition of a highly effective program and business model. One of those three-year grantees is Hopeful Horizons, a newly formed nonprofit formerly operating as two entities—Hope Haven and CODA (Citizens Opposed to Domestic Abuse). According to Shauw Chin Capps, the organization’s CEO, “With help from organizations like Coastal Community Foundation, we were able to take an important step this year that has allowed us to begin serving the Lowcountry as a team. Now, Hopeful Horizons is able to provide collective support for the community as a children’s advocacy, domestic violence and rape crisis center.” For more information about The Beaufort Fund, contact Veronica Hemmingway, Program Officer, at veronica@coastalcommunityfoundation.org.

VOICES & WINE
Shifting the road-building burden By Bill Rauch
What do politicians talk about when they’re hobnobbing off the clock? Lots of things of course, but a favorite is who or what will the voters vote for and why. I happened to be a part of one such informal discussion last week when the topic turned to the proposed Beaufort County transportation penny sales tax referendum on November 6. One of those there said: “With the president’s emphasis on infrastructure we ought to be able to get more federal money into the project. A fatter federal match would make it more palatable to the voters.” My friend was talking about the six-laning of US 278 on to Hilton Head Island, although there are several other projects proposed to be on the November 6th list. But 278’s the big one. Costed out now at nearly a quarter billion dollars, the project that includes four new bridges would be funded by $120 million in South Carolina State Infrastructure Bank funds, $80 million from the pockets
of Beaufort County’s shoppers in the form of penny sales tax receipts, $35 million in Federal Bridge Replacement funds, and with a couple of pinches of other smaller and more obscure milBill Rauch lions sprinkled in. My friend was right: the federal share by traditional standards did seem a little meagre. More federal money into the funding package would be welcome, I thought, so when I got a chance I took a few minutes and looked up the President’s Legislative Outline for Rebuilding Infrastructure in America that was issued a month ago. On page four of the proposed new rules I found that the government’s top priority for awarding federal support is that the proposed improvement show evidence of applicants having secured and committed “new non-federal revenue to create sustainable, long-term funding for infrastructure investments.”
The Noodle Brigade There is a group of friends I have made in my community and we call ourselves, the Noodle Brigade. I joined this informal group a few years ago when after a full day of work, I put on my bathing suit, grabbed a towel, a book, suntan lotion and my noodle and headed for the pool. For those not familiar with a noodle, it is a cylinder floating device you see being sold outside of the grocery store or hardware store during the summer. For a few dollars you can get hours of entertainment; floating in the pool.
After about an hour of reading, the sun was strong, and I was starting to get hot. Time for the pool. I slipped in the water with my noodle and started to float around. It was not long before I noticed another woman with her noodle, and we smiled at one another. Like children in a playground, we migrated closer to one another slowly and I said, “Hi, my name is Lee. Want to play with me?” Soon we were not alone. Other women put down their books and grabbed their noodles. “Hi, my name is Sherry.” Before

What is that? I wondered. Reading on through the bureaucratese to page 22 under “Transportation Funding” Initiative #1 in italics I found the answer: Provide States Tolling Flexibility. There the president’s thinking is displayed clearly. He wants the Federal Government out of road and bridge-building except in a few special cases where its participation would be limited to twenty percent of the total cost of the improvement. That’s in the ballpark of the federal contribution for the currently-proposed 278 package, so the current package — like it or not — has as much federal money in it as it is likely under the current circumstances to get. Cutting back Federal spending … I get it. I like it. But the president acknowledges lots of road and bridge-building is needed. Yes Sir! More and bigger vehicles on the roads all the time, no doubt about it. So to stay up with the need The White House advocates that the states be empowered to place tolls on existing and new
interstate highways, and on other existing Federal highways. And that they be empowered to use the revenues from those tolls to build whatever new roads and bridges they need. States rights, local control … I get it. I like it. There is also language that suggests private investors will be empowered to invest in roads. Maybe elsewhere, but after the Southern Connector debacle in Greenville, that’s probably a long-shot here. Public-private partnerships, however … I get it. I like it. But I’ll be voting YES on the November 6 initiative. Because if it fails, the next time the initiative comes around there’s a pretty good chance the proposal will include a SCDOT toll booth at the foot of the bridge we know today as The Graves Bridge. And, speaking now as a guy who gets from place to place in a pick-up, I don’t much care for tolls thank you. Bill Rauch was the mayor of Beaufort from 1999-2008.

long there was a group of us floating around in a circle chatting. There was Ellen, Alice, Nancy, Chris, Cindy, Patti, Lynne, and Lenda. Sometimes, the conversation would get so good that we would extend our time into Happy Hour, sitting around a large table enjoying a glass of wine. When the pool finally closed for the season this past fall, there was a conversation void in my life. It was Sherry that reached out to the group and suggested lunch every other week. “Game on!” I said. We do not all make it every time. Travel, family, and jobs prevent 100% attendance. But the friends are there, women from 50 to 75, sharing stories. I do not know the political viewpoints of most of these women. I do not know their religion or party
affiliation. It does not matter. We have found common interests that make the conversation flow along with laughter. Always, lots of laughter. I supposed we must come across as annoying to some people at the pool. After all, we are a group of women cackling and laughing. Yet despite that, our group continues to grow as new people move into the community, float over closer to the circle and want to meet new friends. It does not have to be a pool to meet new friends; sometimes it is church, or your kids’ playground, or maybe the Chamber of Commerce. Regardless of where you meet new friends, remember the gals of the Noodle Brigade, and do not be afraid to say, “Hi, want to be my new friend?”

Feeling the burn! Many wineries have multiple labels. Some are just the same wine under different names, but, usually, different labels are used for different tiers (levels of prices and qualities) and for different styles of wines. It helps us, the consumers, keep different wines straight and it helps the wineries appeal to more consumers. Not a vicious cycle, but definitely a cycle. All of which applies to our wine this week. The grape this week is a Washington state Cabernet Sauvignon. Cabs from this more northern, cooler climate state have more pronounced black cherry, blackberry and boysenberry aromas and flavors, as well as chocolate, leather, graphite, mint and dried herbs. As a rule, these Cabs have supple and velvety textures. Cabernet is a hardy grape, so it does well in the cooler climate of Washington. In fact, some experts say these wines are a perfect combination of California’s bold fruity style that comes from very ripe grapes, and the Old World Bordeaux style of leaner and lighter bodied Cabs. Cabernet Sauvignon is the most widely planted red variety in the state. For now, this wine comes from the Columbia Valley AVA. Most of this appellation is located in Washington, but a bit of it crosses the border into Oregon. Established in 1984, this AVA is the state’s largest and the only one in two states. It is known for bold, fruit-forward red wines. It gets 300 days of sunshine a year, so fruit-forward makes sense. (Napa Valley get 260 days of sunshine a year.) Plush, fruity flavors partnered with sweettart acidity and balanced tannins make Columbia Valley reds hard to beat. With food, they pair well with roasted and stewed meats, meatloaf, pork, lamb (Easter dinner?), game birds, heavier seafood and bolder cheeses. Soon, this wine may be the very first to come from a new AVA called The Burn of Columbia Valley. The parent winery, Chateau Ste Michelle, submitted in September
2017 a proposal for the new AVA. Vines were first planted there in 2002, just a few acres of Cabernet. (In 2007, Chateau Ste Michelle planted more vines including Malbec, Syrah, Chardonnay and Celia Strong Sangiovese.) The area is known as “the burn” because in the 19th Century settlers there would burn the soil every year after they harvested their crops. The theory was this would help regenerate the soil, making it better for the next year. The BATF accepted the application for this new AVA in October 2017, so now just final rule-making is needed. When that happens, our wine — Borne of Fire Cabernet — will be the first and only one from the new AVA. Borne of Fire Cabernet is a true representative of The Burn and the Columbia Valley. Rugged but elegant, it has herbal notes with pomegranate and stony minerals plus cherries, currants, baking spices, red peppers and green coffee beans. And, my favorite, blackberry pie. Its tannins are powdery. This wine is 90% Cabernet with 10% Malbec (also from The Burn vineyards). Knowing that this wine comes from Chateau Ste Michelle makes a huge difference since most people know and drink some of their wines. This is a perfect example of why different labels are good ideas. A totally different name means we don’t expect it to taste just like Ste Michelle Cabernet, and it allows different growers and vintners to let their work show. But, if this well-respected winery stands behind Borne of Fire, it is safe to assume they are backing a product that lives up to their standards. Even though Chateau Ste Michelle can’t print “The Burn” on the label yet, this new wine is really good. For $17.99. Enjoy. Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island.

Portrait of the Father What makes us valuable as a person?
A loving father holds his baby daughter in his arms.
We tend to judge our worth based on earthly qualities.
The little baby has no money. She has no athletic ability. She is not famous. She has not accomplished anything, beyond filling her diaper! And yet the father loves the child, simply because she is his daughter.
Someone who is beautiful is valued more than a person with average looks. A wealthy person is more important than someone who is not. But beauty fades; wealth can be lost. It is liberating to recognize that our value is not based on passing qualities such as these.
Here we see a reflection of God’s love for us. Jesus revealed something unexpected about God. He called God his Father, and he shared that God knows and loves each of us in a personal way, too. God does not see us merely as creatures he has created, but as his sons and daughters. The imperfect love that earthly fathers have for their children is just a small taste of the unconditional love that God the Father has for each of us. Jesus models the love of his Father. In our broken world, it can be difficult to imagine the love of such a father. Many of us have not been able to experience an earthly father who was present and loving. But as we read about Jesus in the Gospels, our hearts begin to be touched by his words and actions. Like a son who resembles his father, as we come to know Jesus, we start to encounter the love of our Heavenly Father.
The Father’s love is the source of Christian joy. Like the baby in our example, we are not loved because of our abilities or accomplishments, but simply because God is our Father. We each have extraordinary value, a worth which flows from the amazing fact that we are personally known and loved by God. What joy to know that the God who created the entire universe, whose beauty is beyond our imagining, loves each of us as a Father!
The Father’s love is for all of his children. Instead of spending time with those who were seen as important or holy, Jesus was always reaching out to those who society rejected: the poor, the outcasts, the sinners. Jesus shows us that the Father loves every one of his children; the world’s labels mean nothing to him. He knows each of us by name and seeks us out, just as Jesus reached out to Zacchaeus the tax collector and called him by name. (Luke 19)
