COVERING BEAUFORT COUNTY

BHS teacher, drama students honored for anti-bullying shows Beaufort High School’s drama teacher and theater students are the recipients of national honors for their efforts to curb bullying through original dramatic performances. Teacher LaRaine Fess and her drama students have been selected as the 2019 national recipients of the “National High School Heart of the Arts Award” from the National Federation of State High School Associations.

Mayor on the mend Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling is on the mend after being hospitalized last week when he had a “heart event” during a meeting.

The award was created by NFHS to recognize individuals who “exemplify the ideals of the positive heart of the arts.” Fess and her students were selected for the award over seven other finalists from California, Illinois, Maine, Minnesota, Oregon, Texas and Virginia. It will be officially presented in June at the NFHS national confer-

Keyserling was attending a meeting Wednesday, March, 13, at Penn Center to discuss the new designation of Beaufort County’s Reconstruction Era National Monument as a National Historical Park when he had trouble breaking and began coughing. Port Roy- Billy al Mayor Sam Keyserling Murray called 911, and Beaufort County EMS took Keyserling, 70, to Beaufort Memorial Hospital for treatment. Keyserling, who last year shed about 160 pounds, said the illness was unrelated to his rapid weight loss. He said testing showed he did not suffer a heart attack because no serious arterial blockage was found, but his oxygen level and heart rate dropped, likely as a result of stress. Keyserling was released from the hospital Friday, March 15, and said he spent the weekend at home resting and “rethinking my to-do list, ensuring my full attention to mayoral duties is not compromised while perhaps slowing down on some of the outside activities I am passionate about.” “Assuming I take prescribed meds and follow doctors’ orders to reduce and manage stress, the expectation is that there is no permanent damage and I will fully return to normal in a matter of 30 days,” Keyserling said in an email. “The best news is that I actually feel normal now, but that is with the aid of the temporary battery of meds that enhance recovery.” Keyserling praised the quick response of everyone from Murray, for calling 911, to the paramedic team, and the staff in the BMH emergency room and intensive care unit for helping nurse him back to health quickly. “I am a very fortunate man to have had such responsive and productive treatment,” he said, “and will forever feel grateful.”

Strawberry fields forever

Davey Dempsey of Dempsey Farms on St. Helena Island said his U-pick strawberry patch is open for business. Patrons are advised to call ahead at 843-838-3656 to get current picking times. Photos by Bob Sofaly.

Opening of strawberry patch marks arrival of spring By Bob Sofaly Much like the coating of pollen covering ever surface, the pesky weeds popping up in the lawn, or the ubiquitous buzzing of no-seeums, the opening of annual Dempsey Farms’ U-pick strawberry patch serves as

an annual reminder that spring has sprung. Strawberry picking season officially began Wednesday, March 13, with the opening of Dempsey Farms’ three-acre patch where visitors can select plump, delicious berries.

Davey Dempsey said picking times will vary depending on the availability of ripe berries, adding it would be best to call ahead before driving out to St.Helena Island. For information concerning picking times, please call 843-838-3656.

County Treasurer announces investment update The County Treasurer serves as the county’s chief banker and investment officer, charged with the responsibility of investing funds that are not needed for immediate expenditures. By developing and implementing a new investment strategy, Beaufort County Treasurer Maria Walls earned a record $2,976,382 in fiscal year 2018, increasing investment revenue 699 percent since fiscal year 2016, the treasurer’s office announced. Beginning in fiscal year 2017, Walls transformed the

office’s investment strategy by establishing a formal investment policy and a liquidity management plan, working closely with the county’s bank, investment professionals, and three+one advisors. “Our goal was to make sure every dollar was working, but we are so limited in what we can invest in, we really had to look at it from a different angle,” Walls said. Deviating from historical practices, rather than using a traditional investment advisor to hand select investments, Walls looked to devel-

op a cash flow management plan that was more focused on liquidity needs. “It had been challenging to obtain a cash flow projection that was reliable enough to use for investment decisions,” Walls said. “This greatly limited investment earnings by being consistently underinvested and relying on an investment advisor’s recommendations. By redirecting our strategic focus to cash flow management, we have become extremely agile and able to identify available funds quickly and invest

them. What we used to earn per year; we are now earning per month.” The Treasurer’s Office utilizes two primary investment options. The first is the Local Government Investment Pool (LGIP), an investment pool managed by South Carolina State Treasurer Curtis Loftis, that functions similar to a highly liquid money market fund. “We attribute much of our earnings success to the performance of the LGIP,” Walls said. “We are earning a healthy yield but can ob-

tain funds by the next day, if needed.” The other investment options used are Treasury and Agency bonds. “Because we are monitoring cash flows so closely, we have been able to select bonds offered through a broker, which eliminated investment advisory fees,” explained Walls. Typically, only long-term funds are invested in bonds, and the Treasurer’s Office limits bond purchases to those maturing within 24 months.

Fire victim shares story to warn others, seeks help

A local resident, 58-yearold Vera Green, is sharing her recent tragic experience to warn others of her mistake and to seek help in getting her home and life back together. On the evening of Feb. 8, Greene was in her residence on Providence Road preparing to make dinner when she was distracted by the phone. After finishing the conversation in a back bedroom, she opened the door and was met

with a “wall of fire.” She immediately fled her home and was forced to leave behind her two dogs. Just four minutes after the 911 call, Burton and Beaufort/Port Royal firefighters arrived on scene. Burton Fire Engineer Nick D’Angelo described the intense smoke covering Providence Road and the black smoke rolling from the front door as the fire truck pulled up in front of the home. Firefighters extin-

guished the fire and rescued both of Greene’s dogs, who were uninjured. The fire damage was confined to the kitchen, but there was smoke and heat damage throughout the home. Greene has no insurance, and after a month her home, which she still lives in, remains damaged from fire as she tries to make repairs on her own. With the recent time change due to daylight saving time, firefighters remind

citizens to change the batteries in their smoke alarms. As part of this program, Burton firefighters were assisting Greene by installing four new smoke alarms in her home when she said she wanted to tell others about her avoidable tragedy, and to possibly seek help with repairs to her home. Greene told firefighters her two biggest regrets she wants people to know are not having working smoke

alarms at the time, which would have warned her early about the fire and allowed her to react before the fire grew, and not having insurance, leaving some of her possessions lost forever and her home still damaged from the fire. Anyone who would like to offer help for Greene or needs help with their smoke alarms can email safetyed@burtonfd.org or call Capt. Daniel Byrne at 843-986-4852.

City of Beaufort completes annual two-day council retreat The Beaufort City Council, senior staff, and members of the Beaufort ReDevelopment Commission spent two days discussing all things Beaufort at the annual city retreat March 11-12 at the St. Helena Branch of the Beaufort County Library. Among the topics discussed were the city’s threeyear strategic plan, Beaufort 2030 Lab, departmental goals, financial projections and modeling, as well as in-depth discussion of the future of redevelopment in Beaufort. “Three major sub-topics prevailed throughout the discussions regardless of the main topic,” said Beaufort City Manager Bill Prokop, “intergovernmental relationships, affordable housing, and economic development and how it affects the people of our community.” The strategic plan guides the efforts of council, staff, and boards as they work for the vitality of Beaufort. All of the two days of input will be aggregated by the city manager’s office with the facilitator and integrated into the annual strategic plan update as well as the city’s budget process which is just getting underway. On Tuesday, the group diligently worked through what the Redevelopment Commission in Beaufort can and should be doing. Councilors will be addressing how to best manage major issues that are facing the city, such as affordable housing and well-planned economic development. A program will be put forward to adjust to the changing needs of the city. The retreat was livestreamed on Facebook, and those that wish to watch the meeting as it occurred can do so on the City of Beaufort Facebook page.

NEWS Yemassee man convicted of unprovoked shooting during neighborhood gathering A 27-year-old Yemassee resident who shot and killed a man without warning at a popular community gathering spot has been sent to prison. Dontarious Wright was found guilty of murder last week. The Beaufort County General Sessions Court jury also convicted Wright of possession of a weapon during commission of a violent crime. He is to spend 40 years in prison. Wright shot and killed Adrian Lamont “Mont” Manigo,

40, during a neighborhood gathering Aug. 22, 2018, in Lobeco. “Mont tried to be the bigDontarious ger person on Wright the day he was killed,” said Mary Jones of the 14th Circuit Solicitor’s Office, who prosecuted the case. “He tried to walk away. Sadly, being the bigger person on that day cost him his life.” Jones called 20 witness-

es during the two-day trial. Some testified that Wright had a history of animosity toward Manigo, once remarking that “if he keeps running his mouth, the next time I see him, I’m going to shoot him.” Neighbors were gathering beneath a large oak in a yard on Leaping Frog Lane, a familiar hangout for nearby residents. When Manigo arrived, Wright was seen briefly stepping to the side of the gathering and muttering to himself. About 20 minutes

later, Wright produced a 9mm handgun and sat it in his lap. Manigo, who was nearby, asked what the gun was for; Wright replied, “it’s for you.” Manigo turned to walk away, but Wright rose and fired three times, striking Manigo once in the arm and once in the right shoulder. One of the bullets pierced his lung, esophagus and two major blood vessels. Wright fled as onlookers called 911. Wright bled to death before emergency medical personnel and law enforcement

could arrive. Wright was apprehended by the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office later that evening near his home, hiding in a neighbor’s shed. Wright told investigators he thought Manigo had come to the gathering to kill him. However, witnesses testified that Manigo was related to the property owner and a frequent visitor. Jones argued during the trial that the incident met none of the legal requirements for self-defense. No argu-

ment preceded the shooting. Manigo made no threat and was unarmed when he was gunned down. The jury of nine men and three women deliberated for 42 minutes. Circuit Court Judge Perry Buckner sentenced Wright to 40 years for the murder and five for the gun charge. The sentences are to be served concurrently. Wright has previous convictions for strong armed robbery, assault with intent to kill, and petit larceny.

FROM THE FRONT

Drama from page A1

ence in Indianapolis. Fess, who has taught drama at Beaufort High for 14 years, wrote a series of dramatic performance sketches that teach students about bullying and how to curtail it. “If You See Something, Say Something," is a collection of dramatic sketches aimed at getting students to intervene or contact responsible adults when they witness their fellow students being bullied. The show is seen each year by the district’s sixth-graders and has also been performed before audi-

ences outside South Carolina as far away as Maryland. After Fess’s third-grade son was bullied, she asked her students how big an issue bullying was for them at school. Many students shared their personal experiences, and Fess and her students made a pact never to be a bully, a victim or a bystander. Since then, more than 300 Beaufort High drama students have participated in performances seen by more than 7,000 students. “If we stay quiet, then the bullies win,” Fess said. “We are the only school in the state with an in-house performance on such an important topic. Most districts bring in speakers to talk about this issue.

Beaufort County allows its students to teach their peers about bullying.” In 2017, they presented some of the show for the National High School League Convention on Hilton Head Island, and the principal of a Columbia-area high school asked them to perform there in front of 1,300 students. They have presented for the past three years to high school athletes and athletic directors at the South Carolina High School League’s Leadership Convention and also have previously been honored by the Beaufort County Board of Education, Beaufort County Council and the Rotary of the Lowcountry.

yer to help you manage the most complicated duties or to oversee the whole process. You can also engage a CPA to help with tax issues. “Even if the estate is simple, consulting with an attorney is a good idea. There are responsibilities and deadlines you have to meet that are laid out by state law. You also need to follow the instructions as laid out in the will or trust. Sometimes people do things on their own and it gets them in trouble. The court may remove them as executor or trustee, or they may be held personally liable for actions they have taken,” Montano says. You may be entitled to compensation. Trustees and executors are typically entitled to collect a reasonable fee, Montano says. The amount may be regulated by state law or specified in the will or trust. You may choose to waive the fee, but you might still want to be reimbursed for travel and other expenses. You can decline to serve. It’s okay to say you are not comfortable serving, Montano says. If you do, then someone else or a corporate trustee or a third-party executor such as a bank, trust company, or a professional who has experience dealing with estates will need to be chosen.

Being asked to serve as an executor or a trustee for an estate is certainly an honor, but it’s also a considerable responsibility. And knowing and understanding those responsibilities can help you be prepared. Many people don’t realize what they are taking on and all the duties required, says Lisa Montano, an estate planning strategist for Wells Fargo Advisors. “Depending on the estate’s level of complexity and the assets in the estate that need to be administered, it can be very time-consuming,” she says. Here are five things you need to know now: It’s not an easy job. Serving as executor or trustee typically requires a significant amount of time, patience, and organization. It can take up to a year, maybe longer, to completely wrap up someone’s financial affairs, Montano says. You need to know what the assets are and how to find them. Ask where the will or trust is located and how you will be able to access those documents when the time comes. Also, consider asking for a detailed list of assets and where they can be found. You can seek professional help. You can hire a law-

Nevertheless, housing markets have proven to be resilient despite predictions of a tougher year for the industry. It is still too early to say how the entire year will play out, but economic fundamentals remain positive. New Listings were up 0.8 percent to 268. Pending Sales decreased 7.6 percent to 171.

to 5.9 months, indicating that supply increased relative to demand. The National Association of REALTORS® recently reported that national existing home sales were down slightly during January 2019 and that pending sales were up in year-over-year comparisons. It is worth noting that some softening of sales was anticipated, as was a positive sales bounce during January 2019 after a slow end to 2018. Weather-related events have hampered some of the necessary machinations of making home sales during February 2019, yet buyers have shown determination toward achieving their homeownership goals.

Just because you can’t see a disability doesn’t mean it’s not there By Laura Kaponer Having an invisible disability doesn’t make it any less real or hurt any less. It’s easy to judge something from the outside and make certain assumptions; Laura just because Kaponer someone is smiling doesn’t mean they are happy, and just because someone isn’t bedridden doesn’t mean they aren’t sick. There are so many different levels and ways of being sick, many of which may appear differently from what we are conditioned as a society to recognize as illness. Let’s start with the misconception that if you aren’t well enough to work, you aren’t well enough to enjoy life. The stresses, restrictions, expectations, and time commitments of employment can in no way compare to that of a social outing. While they are preferable, there are generally no hygiene requirements with friends. Additionally, social

obligations are often more social options with plenty of flexibility regarding attendance, level of participation, start/end time, etc. I personally know many fine folks that do not work and are on disability for a multitude of reasons; and I was very briefly on disability. Being on disability does not mean you should never leave your home or attempt to enjoy life, yet far too often those on disability are shamed for doing so. “If you can go to the movies, you can have a job.” “If you can attend a comic book convention, you can have a job.” “If you can go out with your friends to do anything of amusement, you can have a job.” All those statements and so many more are based in ignorance. If someone is sick and they manage to muster up the ability to do something that truly brings them joy, in what world is that wrong? Is said sick person meant to lock themselves

in their home, sit in the dark and be devoid of anything that can even temporarily distract them from what they struggle with or suffer from? If this is true then what is the point of such fantastic organizations such as “Make a Wish”? Or why do celebrities visit hospitals to spend time with the sick? I’m here to let you know that someone can be ill, even on disability, and still enjoy life. Those two things can exist at the same time and very well should. Additionally, you don’t know what it took for the person to even make it out of the house for a few hours, and they most likely spent quite a bit of time “recovering” after the fact. So the next time you see someone with a disability or illness out and about, before you judge them maybe instead be happy for them.

AROUND TOWN Curtis Epps repeats as shrimp and grits champ Record crowds joined Bridges Prep’s sixth annual Block Party and Shrimp & Grits Cook-Off, and the clear first-place winner by the people’s vote — for the second year in a row — was Chef Curtis Epps with Albergotti Grill in the Beaufort Holiday Inn on Boundary Street. His victory netted a $1,000 cash prize. Second place and $500 went to Robert Wray with Cafe Roux of Bluffton, and Chef Sherri Green Whitmire of Rent-A-Chef took third place and $250. “It was a fantastic day all around — thousands of people, great fun and fellowship, outstanding chefs cooking delicious shrimp and grits, and everyone seemed to have a blast in the beautiful weather,” said Amy Painton of the Bridges Prep PTO, which organized the event. Proceeds from the event will help Bridges Prep buy an activity bus for athletics and field trips. The amount raised won’t be final until expenses are finalized later this month. Ameris Bank was the primary sponsor, having donated $3,000 to the event. For Chef Epps, it was the thrill of competition for a

Take A Ride with the Met’s Powerful “Die Walkure” Saturday, March 30, Noon By Alan Schuster The second opera in Wagner’s monumental Ring cycle, Die Walkure has long stood on its own as an event of extraordinary theater, highlighted by the famous ride of the Valkyres. Part of this appeal lies in its focus on some of the Ring’s most interesting characters at decisive moments of their lives: Wotan, the leader of the gods; his wife, Fricka; his twin offspring, Siegmund and Sieglinde; and, above all, Wotan’s warrior daughter Brünnhilde. These characters and others follow their destinies to some of Wagner’s most remarkable music. Die Walkure is set in mythological times, when gods, giants, dwarves, and humans all contended for power. While the first part of the cycle, Das Rheingold, moves between realms above and below the earth, Die Walkure takes place entirely in human territory, as the balance of power in the

cosmic struggle tips ever so slowly toward humanity. Throughout the Ring cycle, Wagner uses a system of musical themes, or leitmotifs, associated with characters, events, emotions, and things. The entire first act of Die Walkure depicts the experience of falling in love in one great arc, from initial attraction to consummation. It is one of the theater’s most convincing portrayals of the power of love—even if the lovers in question are in fact twin brother and sister. Act III opens with the famous Ride of the Valkyries. In a dramatic masterstroke, Wagner uses the sound of eight powerful female voices, punctuated by shrieking laughter, to depict the terrible thrill of combat. The opera ends with some of the most moving music ever composed, as Wotan intones his farewell to Brünnhilde. Here are some worthy observations by well-known opera historians. Critic Barry Millington:

“Of all Wagner’s works, Die Walkure is the fullest embodiment of opera and drama precepts, achieving a complete synthesis of music and poetry.” Bernard Shaw: “There is not...a note in it that has any other point than the single direct point of giving musical expression to the drama.” Sir Denis Forman: “If you are a fair listener you will acknowledge it as a work of genius, and you will leave the opera house marvelling that the human imagination could stretch to such a huge enterprise.” A strong cast for this HD production begins with the awe-inspiring soprano Christine Goerke in the primary role of Brunnhilde. In her most recent performance at the Lyric Opera of Chicago in 2017, New York Times critic Anthony Tommasini wrote, “In the time since her first staged Brünnhilde in Toronto in early 2015, Ms. Goerke has made this role her own. That her singing

was so sumptuous, powerful and exciting was no surprise. Her Valkyrie war cries rang with steely brilliance; her frantic pleas to her sisters to protect her from Wotan’s wrath had tremulous intensity. She brought disarming vulnerability to the moments when this feisty Brünnhilde was caught up in emotional confusion, especially the long scene in Act II when Wotan unburdens himself to his favorite child and tells the whole sorry saga of the mistakes he made trying to gain more power.” On stage with Goerke will be tenor Stuart Skelton as Siegmund, soprano Eva-Maria Westbroek as his sister Sieglinde, bass-baritone Greer Grimsley singing Wotan and mezzo Jamie Barton as Fricka. Philippe Jordan conducts. Tickets are now available. All seats general admission. Adults $20; OLLI members $18; Students $10. Order at centerforthearts.com, or call 843-521-4145.

Persistence pays off for ‘Future Chef ’ winner prize basket of cookware, kitchen utensils, cutting boards and a Future Chef apron. She now has a chance to move on to the 2019 regional and national Future Chef competitions. More than 2,700 students from 250 school districts across the nation are competing in similar events this spring. Beaufort County’s 12 finalists were chosen from more than 24 young cooks from district elementary schools who submitted recipes in this year’s challenge, sponsored by Sodexo. Second place went to fifth-grader Escarlett Galo (Hilton Head Island School for the Creative Arts) for her dish “Rice with Shrimp.” In third place was fifth-grader Pedro Lopez (Hilton Head Island School for the Creative Arts) for his “Pupusas with Pork and Cheese.” All participants received gift bags including cooking utensils. Second and third place received additional cookware. “Each year this competition stands out because it gives our kids an opportunity to show-

case their talents,” said Sodexo Operations Manager Roberta Edwards. “They create and serve healthy and high-quality food, and their passion for cooking really comes through.” Edwards said the company’s annual competition is particularly appropriate for Beaufort County because it’s a tourism-focused economy with many opportunities in the hospitality industry. The other finalists were: • Aidan Pozos (Grade 4, Hilton Head Island Elementary) – Pork Pozole • Lucia Rivera (Grade 5, Joseph Shanklin Elementary) – Puerto Rican Stuffed Canoes • Gabriel Compton (Grade 5, Robert Smalls International Academy) – Shrimp Tacos • Alexis Berryhill (Grade 5, Beaufort Elementary) – Fricase de Pollo • Mia Jaquiss (Grade 3, Hilton Head Island School for the Creative Arts – Latin Sweet Potato Chili • Brea Parker (Grade 5,

Employment in health care occupations is expected to grow 19 percent from 2014 to 2024, much faster than the average. Over this same time about 2.3 million new health care jobs will be added, more than any other group of occupations. This expected growth is due to an aging population and because of more individuals having access to health insurance, according to the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics.

TIDES FOR BEAUFORT

Fifth-grader Kandace Henderson had been a finalist the past two years in the Sodexo Future Chef Competition, and her persistence paid off last week when she won the annual event. Henderson, who attends Joseph S. Shanklin Elementary, was one of 12 elementary school finalists from across the Beaufort County School District who prepared healthy Mexican-inspired dishes – this year’s competition category – for a panel of five judges at River Ridge Academy. Judges awarded points based on the recipes’ originality, taste, healthy attributes, plate presentation, ease of preparation and kid-friendliness. Henderson’s winning dish was “Latin Spiced Salmon with Tortilla Boats.” She said her previous experience as a finalist in 2017 and 2018 definitely was an asset. “I definitely wasn’t as nervous as before,” she said. “Everything just came together this year.” For her first-place finish, Henderson was awarded a

PARRIS ISLAND TRIATHLON:

The Most Exhilarating, Underpublicized Event In Town

By Ron Callari Beaufort might be a small town, but it’s definitely put itself on the map with some very prominent and sizable events. This year alone, the Beaufort Film Festival honored Paul Sorvino and the Water Festival welcomed back American Idol winner Candace Glover. There’s the Fall Festival of Houses and Gardens, the Harvest Festival in Habersham, the Gullah Festival, The Shrimp Festival, The Taste of Beaufort and Light Up The Night & Christmas Parade. On the sports side of the equation, there’s the Twilight Run in Habersham. The annual Dragonboat Beaufort race attracts volunteer teams that successfully combine fundraising with sportsmanship. The Water Festival is jam-packed filled with competition as well, offering a raft race, a water-ski show and a bocce tournament. Heck, there’s even a Bed Race, now in its 64th year. The Marine Corps Community Services (MCCS) assists in the planning of the Bi-Annual Air Show that will return to the Marine Air Corp Station (MCAS) April 27- 28. This event is one of the largest Beaufort has to offer, attracting over 100,000 visitors from all over the country. However, MCCS is also instrumental in the Parris Island Sprint Triathlon that took place Saturday, March 9. Did you attend? Most likely not. That event is designed mainly for the registrants, which this year numbered 413 able-bodied “triathletes,” from novice to seasoned professionals. While the venue is Parris Island, less than 40 Marines signed up for the competition. The only spectators who were allowed onto the Marine Corp

Patty D'Anna & Family

Parris Island Combat Training Pool Depot were those who accompanied the athletes in the same car. Media were stopped at the gate to show their media credentials to enter the base. In fact, this race might be the least attended event in Beaufort. However, that didn’t deter the enthusiasm and comradry from both the participants and their closest friends and family members. MCCS Sports & Athletics Director Bill Brown said in the 21 years of this triathlon, the 2019 event was the fastest in its history. The top finisher,

Run Start, Swim Finish 23-year-old John Kremar of Mooresville, N.C., completed the three tracks in 55 minutes, 55.9 seconds. As a sanctioned United States of America Triathlon (USAT), the race included a 500-meter swim, a 10-mile bike race and a 5K run. Parris Island is one of several in the South Carolina Triathlon Series season. The next is the Tri The Midlands Sprint Triathlon in Columbia. In Beaufort, triathletes from all over the nation were invited, and Brown noted a Minnesotan made the longest journey

to Beaufort. While the race was broken down into more than a dozen categories, according to age and weight, the top male awards in the open division went to Alex Hutton (Charleston, SC), Brad Sanders (Mount Pleasant, SC), and Jason McCormack (Charleston, SC) in first, second and third place. The top open female awards were given to Kayla Edwards (Charleston, SC), Angela Shiver (Savannah, GA) and Katie Malone (Landrum, SC). From a human-interest perspective, triathlete Patty D’An-

na’s trek to this event was one of merit and fortitude, which tugged at the heartstrings. After racing in major events for 15 years, she was sidelined by a car accident in 2018. She incurred a severe leg injury that might have ended her career. However, with the USAT season fast approaching, D’Anna was determined to overcome her physical determent to register and participate in this year’s triathlon. Her eightmonth recuperation period incorporated an intense athletic training schedule. With

her eye on the prize, and the empathetic support from her husband, children and grandchild, D’Anna was primed to swim, bike and race her heart out. With a slogan labeled on her family’s tee shirts: “Patty Pedal On,“ D’Anna received a boisterous accolade arriving at that finish line. Kudos to her and all the winners and participants in this year’s Parris Island Sprint Triathlon. It’s time you received some public acknowledgment … and yes, some well-deserved publicity.

It is the week after Christmas and the Jefferson is full of people who are wandering — Scott drinks in hand Graber — through a gold and silver wonderland that reminds me, if just for a moment, of “Santaland” as described by David Sedaris in “Santaland Diaries.” We’re sitting with Lynn and Cele Seldon. “We met in that room … you can just see the doorways coming off the lobby,” Cele says pointing down into the crowd. “It was 1992.” “We were married a year later,” Lynn says. “In the Presidential Suite.” Lynn and Cele are travel

writers who spend most of their time on trains, planes and cruise ships. If they are not actually sailing to Juneau or Havana, they are pitching stories to magazines, newspaper editors and digital providers like the Food Network. “There is a continuing need for content,” Lynn says. “When we go someplace — a cruise down the Danube — we are constantly thinking about story ideas or what connections can be made. It’s nearly impossible for us to sit on the deck and read a book.” Although Cele and Lynn have been a team since their marriage in 1993, Lynn got his start with Stars and Stripes (the American military newspaper) when he was a young officer in Belgium. “I wrote a piece on Crete — then gave it to Stars and Stripes — and was astounded when they sent me a check for $50.” After that first $50 check Lynn knew what he wanted to

do for the rest of his life. “When I got out of the army, my goal was to send out 100 ‘query letters’ every week,” he recalls. “I had an IBM Selectric and used ‘The Writer’s Market’ as my Bible. And I used a lot of White-Out.” “You would conjure-up 15 ideas — 15 concepts for a story — every day?,” I marvel. “Yes,” he replies. Piedmont Airlines was interested in some of Lynn’s ideas and began to buy his compact prose for their in-flight magazine. When Piedmont merged with USAir, Lynn moved over to that magazine. When USAir merged with American … well, you get the drill. But along the way Lynn learned how to tell a compelling story in less than 1,500 words. “There is the notion that print journalism — magazines and newspapers — are disappearing. Going the way of the buffalo,” I say. “That’s not our opinion,” Cele replies. “Have you been

to the magazine section at Barnes and Noble? The general interest magazines may be dying. But look at the niche publications — culinary magazines, for example, magazines devoted to bourbon. They’re everywhere.” It would not be accurate to say that this writing life is entirely free from angst. “We’ve got to be aware of what is going on with the airlines. British Air, for example, just announced twice a week non-stop service between London and Charleston,” Lynn says. “We know this connection will bring lots of new people directly into the Lowcountry. So we’re interested in British travel magazines, UK trade publications…” “Trade publications?” “We do a lot of writing for RV associations, for AAA, for organizations that send out newsletters to a hundred thousand members,” Cele says. “Those newsletters also need content.”

A NECESSARY CHORE

There are certain chores one must do around the house that do not require much effort. But then there are those household tasks which require some planning – like cleaning out the refrigerator. Now, I am not talking about wiping down the shelves and throwing away science experiments. I am talking about serious, take everything out of the refrigerator and freezer, clean the shelves with soapy water and wipe down all the condiments. We decided several weeks ago this had to be done so, because we are between holidays and visitors, we planned

Now what?

HIGHLIGHTING DAILY LIFE OBSERVATIONS Lee Scott, a writer and recent retiree, shares her everyday observations about life after career. A former commercial banker responsible for helping her clients to reach their business objectives, Scott now translates those analytical skills to her writings. She lives on St. Helena Island and enjoys boating, traveling and reading. all our meals around emptying out the refrigerator. We ate the last frozen meal of beef stew, along with the remainder of a loaf of Italian bread, and we had just enough vegetables to make each of us a small salad. The refrigerator was officially bare except for absolute essentials. I started the process by get-

ting out rubber gloves, soap detergent, and dishcloths. Then I opened the refrigerator and began removing the top shelf, which had pickles, olives, relish, and ketchup. As I peered into the fridge, I saw something I did not want to see. It was a plastic bottle of Hershey’s chocolate syrup with the top undone, lying on its side. My heart stopped.

I followed the chocolate syrup trail as I pulled shelf after shelf out all the way down to the bottom of the refrigerator, where a pool of old chocolate had gathered. It was everywhere. I turned to my spouse, who had heard my groan, and his only response was, “Maybe I will go do the grocery store now since we

In addition to their magazine writing, Lynn and Cele have written “100 Things To Do In Charleston Before You Die.” This small volume has met with remarkable success and will soon be followed by “100 Things To Do In Savannah Before Your Die.” I didn’t meet Lynn (or Cele) until 2010, when Lynn appeared at Griffin Market — the Italian restaurant on Carteret Street. In those days, Pat Conroy, Bernie Schein, John Warley and I met for lunch every Thursday. From time to time other writers would join us. In 2010, Lynn had decided he was going to complicate his peripatetic life and try his hand at fiction — having been encouraged to do so by Conroy. Lynn, a graduate of VMI, was then writing “Virginia’s Ring.” Virginia’s Ring is set at the Virginia Military Institute and concerns the first women to go through the “Rat Line” at that storied military college. As

it happened, Pat Conroy had written “Lords of Discipline” — and had been involved with Shannon Faulkner — so it was natural that Lynn would seek advice from a writer who had previously wandered in this particular garden. Lynn and Cele became friendly with Sandra and Pat Conroy, visiting frequently, and eventually convinced themselves they could live in our febrile, superheated, hurricane-prone county. First they tried Port Royal — testing those waters — then rented a house on North Street. Then they found a small, live oak shaded house that backs-up to the Spanish Moss Trail. When this couple is not writing, or cruising the Volga, they can reliably be found somewhere along the Spanish Moss Trail, daydreaming about story ideas, no doubt.

need everything.” This is when I started to get suspicious. Had the decision to eat all the food out of the refrigerator been our idea or his idea. I do not remember, but I am not the one in the household that normally eats Hershey’s syrup. Needless to say, the job took much longer than expected as I scrubbed the congealed syrup off the shelves and the floor of the refrigerator. But looking back, the whole process was much easier than the hassle my mother used to go through before self-defrosting freezers. The freezer had to be thawed

because there would be so much ice around the freezer box. That meant everything had to come out and a pot of boiling water was placed on a shelf in the refrigerator section to help melt the ice. What a mess! The good news now is that the refrigerator and freezer are both sparkling clean and there is an abundance of fresh vegetables and fruits in the crisper drawer. Oh, and, there is also a large bouquet of flowers sitting on the kitchen table, leading me to believe my suspicions about the chocolate culprit might have been accurate.


FOOD LUNCH BUNCH

Hearth Brings Heart to Downtown Beaufort By Margaret Evans Our Lunch Bunch crew was small but mighty on a warm, spring-like day in late February when Hope, Betty, Jeff and I descended on Hearth WoodFired Pizza in downtown Beaufort, hungry and curious. Hearth was already one of our favorite dinner destinations, but this was our first encounter with the lunch menu. Since there were only four of us at the table, we knew we’d have be strategic with our orders if we wanted a wide sampling of the menu. We were up for the challenge! Our server recommended we start with a house favorite, the Fried Mozzarella Sticks. In my experience, you can’t go wrong with mozzarella sticks – unless you’re watching your weight or fighting heart disease – but these exceeded our expectations. Handmade, lightly breaded, creamy-gooey cheese … What’s not to love? Moving on to a quirkier, riskier order, Betty took her

san Caesar Salad with Crusted Chicken, calling it “really light and flavorful.” I went with the Antipasto Salad, chockfull of romaine hearts, salami, pickled peppers, and plenty of other zesty goodies. We salad eaters were highly satisfied with our choices and feeling rather virtuous. The man at the table was having none of it. Hearth is famous for its wood-fired pizzas and, by golly, he was going to have one. Jeff went all out and got The Combo, replete with caramelized peppers and onions, pepperoni, sausage and mushrooms. Between enthusiastic bites, he commented, “The crust is thin and crispy. Doesn’t overwhelm the topping, which is really fresh. The Italian sausage is particularly good.” Jeff was kind enough to share his pizza with the table, and we all agreed that there was, indeed, a nice ratio of topping to crust and that Hearth makes some of the finest pizza in town.

During our meal, we chatted with the owner, Lantz Price – Hearth is his third Bay Street restaurant – and Robin Price, his right hand... manager. The Price siblings seem to float effortlessly between their three establishments – they’re everywhere, all the time – and one wonders if this dynamic duo ever sleeps. Plums and Saltus are both downtown icons by now, and Hearth seems headed in that direction. With its friendly staff, cozy bar, creative menu, and country/ urban atmosphere – Jeff dubbed it “rustic steampunk” – it’s a welcome addition to Beaufort’s exciting culinary scene.

If you go... Hearth Wood Fired Pizza & Eatery is located at 802 Bay Street in Beaufort and is open daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. For more information, call 843-3799806 or visit www.hearthpizzabft.com.

WINE & DINE

How ‘Amabile’ it is By Celia Strong Umbria is an Italian wine region known as “the green heart of Italy.” Unique on its own because it is the only one of 20 total wine regions that does not have a water border — ocean, sea or river — Umbria produces a range of red wines and whites, but it is best known Celia for one white Strong — Orvieto. A specific sub-region located in the southwestern corner of Umbria, a small bit of Orvieto extends into Lazio (Latium), the wine region that includes Rome. Winemaking in Umbria and Orvieto dates back to the

early Etruscans. They built the town of Orvieto and carved out cellars, more like caves, from the volcanic soil in this area. These cellars made long, cool fermentation of white wines possible. From the Middle Ages to the 20th century, Orvieto was known for its white wines. Dry, demi-sec, and, the favorite of ancient Umbrians and Romans, sweet, very rare today because they are less than five percent of the total Orvieto production. Orvieto DOC are white wines made from a Trebbiano sub-variety called Procanico along with Grechetto, which is also grown in Tuscany, and bits of Malvasia, Drupeggio (Canaiolo Bianco) and Verdello. Grechetto brings fruitiness and weight to these wines. Or-

vieto producers today fall into one of two camps — those that use mostly Trebbiano and have more neutral style wines, and those who take advantage of the liberal DOC regulations that allow blending in the other varieties. By law, Orvieto must be 40-60 percent Trebbiano, 15-25 percent Verdello, and a maximum of 20 percent Grechetto, Drupeggio (Canailo Bianco) and/or Malvasia Toscana. The sweeter style Orvieto is called “Amabile” (ah-mablay). A unique wine, most importantly, because it is not the same sweet we think of when we discuss sweet wines. It’s not a dessert wine. It’s not even as sweet of Italian Moscato d’Asti wines. In fact, it is more of a demi-sec by modern

standards. But with centuries of history behind it, Amabile wines are still called sweet. (Literally translated, Amabile refers to people who are pleasant, lovable, or sweet. Europeans have always described their wines as people.) Cantine Bigi was founded in 1880. They own more than 600 acres in Orvieto, planted with white and red varieties. Mostly Procanico, Grechetto and Drupeggio. They make authentic wines, true to the traditions of their DOCs, combined with a more modern approachable style. They make both an Orvieto Classico Secco and and Orvieto Classico Amabile, which is our wine this week. Classico is a small portion of all Orvieto wines, based on tufa rock soil with higher qual-

ity standards. Their vineyards are almost 1,000 feet above sea level. When the grapes are perfectly ripe, they are fermented without their skins after a soft crushing. The free run juice is clarified at low temperatures and fermentation is temperature controlled. The fermentation is stopped when there is a small amount of sugar left. Then, the wine is aged in stainless steel vats. Finished, it is a clear, bright golden yellow color with intense aromas of wild flowers, honey, musk and almonds, as well as clean bright flavors that include apples, lemon zest, white flower perfume notes, melons and more. Bigi Orvieto Classico Amabile is one of a kind. It can fill holes in our wine drinking portfolios that no other

wine can. Slightly sweet, but not dessert wine sweet, and not Moscato sweet. Perfect, though, for drinkers trying to move on from Moscato without having to plunge right into much drier wines. Further, it is perfect for wine drinkers looking for the best pairing with some of their foods. One of the “rules” of great food and wine pairings is “opposites attract.” Spicy foods become spectacular with a wine like Amabile. The spice and the off-sweet balance each other, and each makes the other taste far better. Try Amabile with sushi, curries, Mexican, chili. The exact spices don’t matter, just hot and Amabile! For $10.99. Enjoy. Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island.

Written in the Heart Why Do We Share a Sense of Morality?

In 1901, an amazing discovery was made in Iran. In the ruins of ancient Susa, archaeologists unearthed a pillar of black stone. About seven feet tall and two feet wide, it bore thousands of lines of Babylonian text. The scholars discovered that it is a list of laws enacted by the sixth king of Babylon, Hammurabi, in about 1754 BC. Now known as the Code of Hammurabi, it represents one of the oldest surviving examples of ancient law. An even older law can be discovered in the human heart. The Code of Hammurabi was chiseled into stone, but looking at our experience as humans, we can recognize that there is a moral law chiseled into our hearts. From even a young age, we have a sense that certain actions are good and other actions are evil. We have a conscience which urges us to do good and avoid evil. We often fail to follow our conscience, choosing evil, and yet we are aware that we are in the wrong. The moral law is consistent across cultures. As C.S. Lewis notes in the first chapters of Mere Christianity, there is no country where cowardice is celebrated, or one takes pride in double-crossing one’s friends. Even though cultures vary on some of the details, the sense of good and evil is astonishingly uniform across all peoples, places, and centuries. This indicates that our moral code is not simply conditioned by society, but rather is built into us as human beings.

The moral law points to God’s goodness and care for us. As we have seen in previous articles, we can gain certain insights into God as we reflect on the physical universe around us, such as how he is timeless and all-powerful. But as we reflect on the moral law within us, we gain additional insights. Since God provides us with this moral guidance, we can see that he is not indifferent towards us; he cares about us and desires our well-being. And in recognizing the call within ourselves to be good and loving, we can conclude that these are attributes of God. He is perfectly good and loving, and he is inviting us to participate in his goodness and love. For more on the topics in this series, a good introduction can be found in Steven Hemler’s 2014 book, The Reality of God. He explores additional avenues of interest in physics and biology which we are unable to cover in this series, such as how our planet appears finely tuned for life, and the problems inherent in presuming that even a one-celled organism formed naturally by chance alone.

Where does this moral law come from? When one discovers a law, one naturally expects a lawgiver. The Code of Hammurabi, for example, was not chiseled onto the pillar by accident, but at the king’s order. Similarly, it is no accident that a moral law is chiseled into the human heart. The moral law points to a law-giver greater than ourselves: our creator, God. Just as he created the physical laws of the universe, he created the moral law and installed an awareness of these truths in the human heart.
