Davis leading charge on Compassionate Care Act South Carolina State Sen. Tom Davis and the Charleston woman whose personal story inspired him to take up the fight for medical cannabis in the Palmetto State headlined an event Monday in Bluffton to support the launch of a new trade association aimed at pushing the Compassionate Care Act through the state legislature.

Davis spoke to a crowd at Bluffton BBQ for a launch party and fundraiser for Healthy Carolina Now, a non-profit trade association formed in conjunction with South Carolina Business Leaders for Medical Cannabis and aimed at supporting Davis’ senate bill that would legalize medical marijuana while “drawing

State Sen. Tom Davis slips into a Hawaiian shirt during Healthy Carolina Now’s kickoff event Monday at Bluffton BBQ. The shirt was a reference to the controversial mailer that slammed Davis for his support of the Compassionate Care Act, which depicted an altered image of Davis in a Hawaiian shirt and holding a large bag of marijuana.

a bright line against recreational use.”

The bill has failed to reach the floor for a vote the past two years, but Davis is optimistic he can change that during the current two-year session, if not before this year’s session ends in May, despite objections from the state’s law enforcement and medical communities.

“I know that South Carolina is a conservative state. I get that. We’re not Colorado.

We’re not California,” Davis said. “And I want a medical cannabis bill that is reflective of what South Carolinians want, and I think this is what they want.”

Davis says four different polls have shown that 70-80

percent of state residents support a medical cannabis bill that will empower doctors to prescribe the drug if they believe it will be beneficial.

“I can’t think of any other issue upon which that many South Carolinians would agree,” he said. “What it boils down to for me is this — if a doctor sitting down with a patient makes a diagnosis for which that doctor believes that cannabis will provide relief, why in the world do we have a law that says that they can’t do that?

“It is possible to have a very tightly regulated, socially conservative, narrowly drawn medical cannabis bill that empowers doctors and at the same time draw a bright

line against recreational use,” Davis added. “Anybody who tells you that you can’t have a medical cannabis policy and draw a bright line against recreational use is not telling you the truth. It can be done.”

Davis took up the issue after meeting Jill Swing, a Charleston woman whose young daughter was suffering up to 2,000 seizures per day as a result of cerebral palsy and epilepsy. The duo successfully pushed a bill that allowed possession of CBD oils for medical use, but Swing learned through personal experience that the bill didn’t go far enough to protect patients in need.

engulfed in flames.

Firefighters entered the home to fight the blaze and rescue the animals. The fire was quickly brought under control. Firefighters rescued two dogs and attempted to revive them but were unsuccessful. In all, five dogs, two cats, and two hedgehogs perished in the fire.

One firefighter suffered minor injuries when he fell through the floor of the mobile home while fighting the blaze and was transported to Beaufort Memorial Hospital.

The fire was caused by a heat-

ing lamp being placed too close to combustibles. Fire officials remind citizens of the safety rule, “If it has heat, then three feet,” meaning any device that generates heat, to include lamps and candles, should be a minimum of three feet from any combustibles.

Burton fire officials are using this incident to illustrate the dangers of fires and mobile homes. According to officials, the fire went from just smoke to engulfing 50 percent of the home within the four minutes from receiving the 911 call to arriv-

ing on scene.

“Residents living in mobile homes need to have working smoke alarms that have a battery and are less than 10 years old and close all doors before leaving your home or going to bed,” said Burton Fire Chief Harry Rountree. “A closed door will keep you protected from the fast-growing fire or keep the fire contained, which will allow you time to escape and for us to arrive and save some belongings.”

Series of brush fires concern fire officials Burton fire officials are issuing a stern warning to area residents about the dangers and legalities of burning yard debris in the unincorporated areas of Beaufort County.

From March 22-24, the Burton Fire District, assisted by the MCAS Fire Department, extinguished five brush fires in close proximity to residential homes, with one fire destroying a large shed and another damaging a home. All five fires are believed to have been caused by unattended yard debris fires or illegal trash fires that spread out of control.

On March 22, three brush fires in the rear of residential homes, caused by unattended burning or illegal burning of trash, occurred back to back from 5:15 p.m. to 5:41 p.m. in the Gray’s Hill and Seabrook area of Beaufort County. None of the homes were damaged.

On March 23, Burton and MCAS Beaufort firefighters extinguished a brush fire that spread to a large shed and endangered a nearby home on Simmons Family Road.

The fire started when the resident was burning leaves and went inside believing he had extinguished the fire. It took four fire trucks more than 90

minutes and 3,500 gallons of water to fully extinguish the shed fire, trash fire, and ensuing brush fire. The nearby residence was not damaged.

On March 24, firefighters were dispatched to a house fire on Capehart Circle just after 4:30 p.m. The initial report was that the family was evacuating the residence. Firefighters arrived on scene to find a brush fire that had extended to a mobile home but were

able to extinguish it before flames got inside. Damages were limited to the skirting of the mobile home.

Burton fire officials warn residents living in unincorporated areas of Beaufort County about the dangers of not directly monitoring or fully extinguishing their yard debris fires and not having a water source nearby as mandated by county ordinance. This ordinance also prohibits the

burning of trash. Residents wishing to burn on their property in unincorporated areas of Beaufort County are also required by state law to call the South Carolina Forestry Commission at 1-800-895-7062.

Fire officials warn that embers can smolder beneath wet leaves and debris for days, and all it takes is a gust of wind to reignite the fire. Fire officials state that when extinguishing a burn pile to soak and contin-

uously rake the pile to ensure complete extinguishment.

For more information residents can visit the South Carolina Forestry Commission’s website at www.state. sc.us/forest/fire.htm and the

Beaufort County Code of Ordinances at bcgov.net. Residents living in incorporated towns or the City of Beaufort should check with their respective fire departments for local burning regulations.

of Commerce, the Port Royal Town Council, the Lady's Island Business & Professional Association, and the Sea Island Coalition.

A significant element of the plan is the establishment of a Lady's Island Preservation Committee with responsibility to review all Lady's Island development requiring re-zoning or projects over a yet to be determined size. An informal

committee has been consulted

by Beaufort County for more than 10 years, but under this plan, members will be formally appointed and trained and developers required to consult with the committee as part of the application approval process. This represents the first time Lady's Island representatives will have a say in largescale development decisions or those requiring re-zoning.

A second major initiative is the movement of the city's growth boundary to the eastern edge of Walmart, a measure designed to maintain the more rural nature of the three-quarter mile stretch between Walmart and Chowan Creek to the east. Changes in the growth boundary, however, will come after adoption of several other measures, including a sea rise overlay, an ordinance

restricting the amount of dirt fill permitted in development activity, and a coordination of sewer extension on the island.

With the latest endorsement, the plan now goes to Beaufort County Council and the Beaufort City Council for adoption.

Both governments were represented on the steering committee, and representatives of both bodies were among those voting to endorse the plan.

Jill Swing, the Charleston woman whose personal story inspired State Sen.

from page A1 “It didn’t provide us with any safe access to CBD oil,” Swing said. “It just said we could possess it but it didn’t tell us where we were supposed to get it. … We would find these sources to get the oils, but we had no idea if they were even fit for human consumption, let alone if they had any therapeutic benefit.

We were paying top dollar — thousands and thousands of dollars — for these oils, and we found out later that some of them only had trace amounts of CBD in them.”

Swing says an online community of families in need of the medication would alert one another to new sources, but sometimes a child would start a new oil and lose seizure

control. The oils would be sent for testing that often revealed little to no actual CBD or higher than allowed levels of THC, the psychoactive ingredient in cannabis.

“At some point I realized that every state is really an island on this issue,” Swing said.

“We need in-state cultivation, and we need processing, and we need distribution, and we need testing. Patients are sick and suffering, and we don’t need to be worrying about where our medication is going to come from.”

The home-grown element is where Healthy Carolina Now is focusing its efforts, pointing to the potential economic benefit.

“There’s a $14 billion medical marijuana industry knocking at our door,” Healthy Carolina Now chair Rosie Craig said. “We’re talking about jobs, we’re talking about stimulat-

ing the economy, we’re talking about construction. … We have a bill now that is for the patients, but we have also created a good, strong environment for investment.”

While the potential economic boon to the Lowcountry would be a positive, Davis says that would simply be a bonus to doing the right thing for patients in need.

“All the statistics, all the rhetoric, whatever, all of that pales in comparison to meeting somebody who has been impacted by this and hearing somebody’s story of what they were going through before and what they are like now,” Davis said. “When I was introduced to Jill in 2014, I saw a girl go from 100 seizures an hour to trace amounts. I mean, sign me up for that. You don’t need to give me any further statistics. I don’t need anything else.

I know this is right.”

Conroy Center launches new book club Beginning in April, the nonprofit Pat Conroy Literary Center will launch a new monthly book club aimed at reading and discussing all 12 of Conroy's published memoirs and novels in order of publication, from The Boo (1969) to A Lowcountry Heart (2016). Each monthly session will be led by a guest discussion leader familiar with the work, and all meetings will be held at the Conroy Center at 905 Port Republic Street in downtown Beaufort. These events are free, but advance registration is required as seating is limited. Participants are asked to read the selected books before the meetings and to come pre-

pared for the discussion.

Interested readers can sign up for the monthly book club meetings at patconroyliterarycenter.org.

Held on Tuesday, April 2, the inaugural meeting will be led by novelist John Warley, a Citadel classmate of Conroy's, as the club discusses, The Boo, self-published in 1969, honoring Pat’s Citadel mentor Lt. Colonel Nugent Courvoisie.

The Conroy Center Book Club will continue on Thursday, May 16, at 5:30 p.m. with a discussion of The Water Is Wide (1972), Pat’s memoir of his storied year of teaching eighteen students in a tworoom schoolhouse on Daufuskie Island, twice adapted for film. The discussion of The Water Is Wide will be led

by USC Beaufort assistant professor of English Mollie

Barnes, who was a coordinator for USCB’s First-Year Reading Experience programs for The Water Is Wide in 2016–17.

Duke concert to benefit Foundation for Leadership Education The recently-established Foundation for Leadership Education will host The Duke Symphony Orchestra’s 16th year of entertaining the Beaufort community with a concert at 7 p.m. on Saturday, April 6, at USCB’s Center for the Arts.

Beaufort is the only community that partners with Duke for off-campus performances. The 60-piece orchestra is made up of Duke University students who travel to Beaufort by bus and are

hosted by Beaufort families for the weekend.

The Beaufort Academy Blue Notes, directed by Vic Varner, will perform two pieces accompanied by the orchestra. Following the concert, there will be an optional “Conductor’s Reception” at a private home in downtown Beaufort, wherein guests enjoy refreshments and meet the Duke students and their leader, conductor Harry Davidson.

The event has a serendipi-

tous origin, as Davidson and his wife were visiting their good friends D. C. and Nancy Gilley in Beaufort for a birthday celebration, where Davidson met Alice Moss, then director of the Beaufort Memorial Hospital Foundation. Out of those friendships, the idea was born. BMH partnered with Duke University to create a special fundraiser, and over the next 14 years the Duke orchestra raised over $200,000 for BMH programs.

Now the hospital continues

its support as a key sponsor.

"Beaufort Memorial has enjoyed a strong relationship with the Duke Symphony and fully endorses the continuation of bringing such a wonderful event to the residents of Beaufort," said Debbie Schuchmann, Associate VP and Chief Development Officer for the BMH Foundation.

"Being a small community, it is important we all recognize the need to support each other’s efforts and missions to make this the healthiest and

culturally sound community in the Lowcountry. I like to think of this change as a passing of the torch from one strong community leader to another, and personally look forward to attending this time-honored tradition.”

Proceeds of this year’s Duke concert will help provide scholarships through the new foundation.

“April 6th will be a special night for Beaufort and will make a positive impact in our community, as our

new foundation strengthens leadership education for children in schools throughout Beaufort County,” said Charles Tumlin, chairman of the Foundation for Leadership Education.

General admission tickets are $40 before April 5 and $50 at the door. Patron admission & Conductor’s Reception tickets are $80 presale or $90 at the door. This event has sold out in the past, so tickets are not guaranteed to be available at the door.

Reasons for Faith

Restless Hearts Why Do We Long for More?

A successful lawyer discovers something is still missing.

He was young, handsome, and brilliant. He was at the top of his field, well-regarded by both his peers and by those in power. He partied with the rich and famous. He had everything that the world had to offer. Despite all this, he still was not happy. His heart was restless. He couldn’t shake the sense that he was meant for more.

We experience this same pattern in our lives.

As a child, we pinned our hopes for happiness on a certain toy, and even when we received it, the joy it provided quickly faded. So we looked to another toy, hoping this one would do the trick. We find the same pattern as adults. Whether it is a new car, the latest gadget, or a new romantic relationship, we keep finding that it is not enough. Why is this?

We all experience a longing for the infinite.

We have a desire for goodness, truth, and beauty which can never quite be satisfied by the things of the world. Gazing at the most beautiful sunset, we still yearn for an even deeper beauty. No matter how many books we read or degrees we have, we still thirst for more knowledge. Even the most wonderful friend or spouse can’t fulfill our longing for perfect friendship and love.

This is a sign that we are meant for something more than this world.

C. S. Lewis famously articulated in Mere Christianity, “Creatures are not born with desires unless satisfaction for those desires exists.

A baby feels hunger: well, there is such a thing as food. A duckling wants to swim: well, there is such a thing as water… If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world.”

The yearning in our hearts is a desire for God.

God created us in his image and likeness (Genesis 1:27), which means that we are persons with intellect, freedom, and an ability to love. He created us to be united with him and to share in his love, here on earth and one day in heaven. This is why we experience this desire for perfect goodness, truth, and beauty: it is a desire for our creator, who alone is perfectly good, true, and beautiful. This desire in our hearts is like a homing beacon that helps draw us to God. In God, our hearts can finally find peace.

The lawyer mentioned above was Augustine, serving the Roman Emperor in the fourth century. He eventually became a Christian and finally found the peace and joy for which he was searching.

From him we have the famous prayer, “You have made us for yourself, O God, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you.”

Why not test it out for yourself?

This desire of our hearts can’t be measured with scientific instruments, but nonetheless it is a sign that can point us to the possibility of there being more to reality than the material world.

Each of us can do an experiment: what happens if we stop trying to satisfy our hearts with finite things, and instead seek God?

FROM FISHING TO FOOTBALL, THE HARD WORK OF ALL ATHLETES DESERVES RECOGNITION

Dolphins back in control of region race The challenging early-season schedule is paying off for Battery Creek’s softball team.

The Dolphins took the inside track toward another Region 8-3A softball title by sweeping a pair of games from rival May River last week.

Battery Creek returned to its dominant form with a strong all-around performance in a 6-0 win at May River on Tuesday.

Alexis Ortiz struck out 14 in a one-hitter, walking one and mowing down the Sharks, and Emily Crosby hit a pair of home runs — including a three-run blast to open the scoring in the third.

Journeigh Doray was 3-for3 with a pair of doubles, and Ortiz and McKenzie Young each added a pair of hits for the Dolphins.

Crosby’s game-ending RBI single in the bottom of the eighth inning lifted the Dolphins to a 3-2 win over visiting May River on Friday.

Crosby singled home Kylee Taff with the winning run for her third RBI of the game. She started the scoring with a sacrifice fly in the first and added an RBI double in the third for a 2-0 lead.

Giovana Rodriguez’s tworun single in the fifth tied the game, and that’s where it stayed until Crosby’s heroics

in the eighth.

Ortiz struck out 12 and allowed two runs, five hits, and one walk to outduel Rodriguez, who gave up three runs (two earned) and three hits with two strikeouts and four walks.

The Dolphins (3-7, 2-0) were scheduled to host Ridgeland-Hardeeville on Tuesday.

Eagles take advantage of fresh start After a rough non-region season, Beaufort High’s softball team got a fresh start with the beginning of Region 7-4A play and made the most of it with a 14-0 rout of visiting Bluffton on Monday.

Essence Champion was 3-for-3 with a double, two homers, and five RBIs to lead the offensive barrage for the Eagles, who broke it open with an 11-run second inning.

Kristin Burke wsa 2-for-4 with three runs and two RBIs, Lillian Bearden was 2-for-

4 with an RBI, and Kidron Martin drove in three runs.

Maliyah Hagan struck out two and limited Bluffton to three hits in the five-inning shutout.

The win ended a threegame losing streak for the Eagles, who lost 18-6 at home to May River and let an early lead slip away in a 6-3 loss at Woodland last week.

May River erupted for 10 runs in the sixth inning to turn a close game into an 18-6 rout over Beau-

fort. Bearden and Carleigh Coolong each had a hit and two RBIs, and Madison Sanchez was 2-for-3 and scored a run for the Eagles.

Against Woodland, Bearden went 3-for-3 with a double and three RBIs for the Eagles, who led 3-0 after three innings before the Wolverines rallied for two runs each in the fourth, fifth, and sixth.

Madison Sanchez also had a hit for Beaufort. Bearden allowed six runs (two earned)

Beaufort (2-6, 1-0) was slat-

ed to travel to Bluffton for the second game of the series Wednesday.

Beaufort High promotes Lybrand to head football coach Beaufort High will have its third head football coach in three years next fall, but he will bring a degree of continuity.

The Eagles announced former offensive coordinator Bryce Lybrand as their new head coach on Friday, replacing Devonte Holloman, who left last month to take the same position at South Pointe.

The opening drew more than 70 applicants, BHS athletics director Linc Lyles said, and although the committee consisting of school administrators, district human resources officials, and

community members ultimately opted for an internal hire, Lyles said it was far from pre-determined.

“Coach Lybrand crushed it,” Lyles said. “He’s had to earn it. This wasn’t just an inside decision.”

Lybrand did have the endorsement of Holloman, who brought him in as offensive coordinator last season after spending two years in the same position at Providence High School in Charlotte.

While many facets of the program will carry over, Lybrand intends to put his own stamp on things.

“I’m not going to try to be

Coach Holloman,” Lybrand said. “We approach things differently, which is probably part of why we worked so well together. But we got some traction with the kids and built some excitement around the program last year, so we’re going to try to build off that.”

Lybrand was a standout at Greenwood High School, where he graduated in 2004, and an undergraduate student assistant at Clemson in 2006 and 2007. During his first year on the Tigers’ staff he was paired with an assistant coach — Dabo Swinney, who a year later became the head coach.

SPORTS BRIEFS BASEBALL

Eagles off to good start in region

Beaufort High has started Region 7-4A play strong, taking two of three from Hilton Head High and shutting out Bluffton 10-0 in the opener of a three-game region series.

After a 13-2 win over the Seahawks in the opener, the Eagles won the second game 7-6 when the winning run scored in the bottom of the seventh.

Hilton Head rallied for four runs in the bottom of the sixth to claim a 7-5 win in the series finale, sending the Eagles to their first loss of the season.

BHS bounced back with a dominant win over Bluffton Monday.

Ethan Graham struck out eight and limited the Bobcats to one hit in the five-inning shutout.

After graduating from Clemson in 2008, Lybrand spent two years as a graduate assistant at NCAA Division II Carson-Newman, four years as an assistant coach at Fort Dorchester High School, and one year as an assistant at Wando High School before taking the offensive coordinator position at Providence.

His desire to return to the Lowcountry lured him to Beaufort, and put him in the unexpected position to land his first head coaching position a year later.

“I was just settling in and getting ready to be the offensive coordinator for another

year,” he said. ]Now he’s working on job postings to fill out his staff, setting up meetings with middle school coaches, and planning his spring practice schedule. He hopes the fact that he’s already in the building will help lend some stability during the transition.

“The kids are excited,” Lybrand said. “They know me, and they know my style and the way I coach. I think more than anything it’s a relief to know they’ve got a head coach. These kids have been through a lot. … I think having some stability is something they’re excited about.”

SCHOOLS

Local students honored as S.C. Junior Scholars More than 120 Beaufort County eighth-graders were honored last week for being named Junior Scholars by the South Carolina Department of Education.

The students and their parents were recognized at a Junior Scholars Banquet sponsored by the Beaufort County School District.

“These students have incredible potential, as their selection as Junior Scholars demonstrates,” said Interim Superintendent Herb Berg. “Their challenge is to work hard on achieving that potential, and our challenge as educators is to support them on their journey.”

The banquet’s featured speaker was Devonta’ “Dee” Delaney, a Whale Branch Early College High School graduate who excelled in academics and sports. After graduating in the Top 10 of his class at Whale Branch, Delaney accepted a full scholarship at The Citadel, where he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Business in 2017. He later attended the University of Miami to pursue a master’s degree in Business.

Delaney was a star cornerback for The Citadel’s football team, and he also started at cornerback for Miami. He later played for the NFL’s Jacksonville Jaguars and currently plays for the Miami Dolphins.

Lowcountry Scholarship Group holds 3rd annual workshop

A

group created with the goal of helping Beaufort County students aware of the myriad scholarship opportunities available to them recently celebrated its third anniversary with a workshop at Whale Branch Early College High School.

The Lowcountry Scholarship Group was created to develop a scholarship program that reaches out to the community, making eligible students aware of the opportunities that abound in Beaufort County that few are taking advantage of. It is made up of the organizations of the Beaufort County Pan-Hellenic Council — affectionately known as the “Divine Nine.”

Groups represented are: Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Kappa

Alpha Psi Fraternity, Omega Psi Phi Fraternity and Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity. Stakeholder groups on the committee were Gullah Daughters of Purpose, and the Lowcountry Ladies.

The third annual Scholarship Workshop was held March 2 at Whale Branch Early College High School with

82 students and parents enjoying lunch and door prizes and each student leaving with a thumb drive with information on local, regional, and national scholarships. This year’s workshop featured two tracks for attendees, one geared toward first-time attendees and younger students and another geared toward juniors and

seniors who were repeat attendees and were focused on going to college.

Parker’s gives $27K to Beaufort County School District A local convenience store company last week donated $27,000 to Beaufort County schools as part of an ongoing promotion at its outlets.

Parker’s, which operates 56 convenience stores in Georgia and South Carolina, said the proceeds came from its “Fueling the Community” program. That promotion gives one cent of every gallon of gas sold on the first Wednesday of each month to local schools.

Some of the Parker’s donation goes to support the school district’s annual “Support Person of the Year” recognition program, which

honors school nurses, social workers, bookkeepers, office managers, teacher assistants, school secretaries, and technology and data specialists.

Other funds go to specific schools designated by Parker’s “Pump Pal” customers when they purchase their gasoline on the first Wednesday of each month.

"At Parker's, we're committed to giving back to the Beaufort County community and supporting local schools through our Fueling the Community program," said Parker's founder and CEO Greg Parker. "We know education

has the power to transform lives, reduce crime and expand opportunities. We're grateful to all the Beaufort County School District teachers, administrators and staff who work hard every day to support student success in the classroom."

Parker’s launched its charitable initiative in 2011 and has donated money to public and private schools in every community where Parker’s does business.

Interim Superintendent Herb Berg accepted the donation on behalf of the school district.

“This generosity we see from Parker’s every year is really impressive,” Berg said.

“Over the past five years, they have donated nearly $100,000 to district schools, and that’s a solid investment in our kids.”

WINE & DINE

I Am Where I Come From

By Celia Strong We are all products of our environments. City or country.

Big family or small. Healthy, stressed, happy, lonely, whatever. Same thing is true for wines. One grape variety can produce different styles of wines depending on the environment where they are grown.

Soil type. Climate. Winemaker’s input. Grapes from any one environment tend to make similar style wines, and certain environments become known for being better for certain wines. Like Napa Valley Cabernets. Or, in our case this week, Pinot Noirs from Oregon’s Willamette Valley.

Pinot Noir is a noble variety. It produces all the great red wines of France’s Burgundy region. Pinot Noir grapes, though, can be difficult to grow. They are susceptible to vineyard diseases and like to ripen in cooler climates where they can hang on their vines longer and develop more flavors. Oregon Celia has soils and Strong climates that are very close to those in Burgundy, so it is a perfect source for good Pinot Noir wines.

The Willamette River and its waterways, besides being essential to Oregon’s economy, continuously deposit highly fertile, alluvial soils on the river’s broad plain. In the Willamette Valley there are three basic soil types. The Jory

area has volcanic basalt that is rich, moist and fertile. This makes Pinot Noirs with flavors like cherry pie — fruity, sweet and spicy. In the Willakenzie area, sedimentary soils that are dry and brittle are more common. This soil forces vine roots to “dig” deeper for nutrients and moisture. These Pinot wines show “Dr. Pepper” flavors with black fruits, cola and chocolate. Third, the loess soils in the Laurelwood area are powdery, volcanic, shallow and ashy. These soils drain easily, erode easily and require more careful vineyard management. The Pinots from here show bright red fruit flavors with earth and white pepper notes.

The climate in the Willamette Valley is Mediterranean with oceanic features.

Summers are very dry and mostly cloudless and range from warm to extremely hot.

Winters are cool, rainy and cloudy. During the grape growing season, there is little to no rain. Most of the precipitation comes between November and February, when no grapes are growing. Daytimes temperatures run in the 80s all summer and mid-40s in the winter.

Firesteed Winery was established in 1992. Their goal was to produce premium varietal wines that represented their origins and were affordable. Hard work and attention to all the details helped them succeed. In Oregon’s cooler climate, along with the in-

consistencies of temperature and rainfall, it was not always easy.

Their 2017 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir is a perfect example. Normal spring weather was followed by a hot, dry summer. Pinot Noir harvesting began Oct. 2 — by hand — and continued until Oct. 29.

They were able to make their fruit driven style wine with specific cellar techniques (gentle crush) and imagination in the vineyards (blending from different sites). The grapes were fermented in stainless steel tanks with selected yeasts they import from Burgundy. Pressing was done during the last days of fermentation. After malolactic fermentation, the wines were racked — rolled from one French oak barrel to another.

This finished wine has a bright acidity with aromas and flavors of red cherries, maple syrup, currants, strawberries, rhubarb, raspberries, cedar, baking spices, cocoa powder and more. It is well balanced with a round mouth feel.

Dark chocolate, crème brulée, cream and caramel come on the long finish. Succulent and delicious, with ripe tannins.

This winery, with this wine, is the third most awarded winery in the United States. Truly, a wine that represents its environment. Flavors, textures, quality. All from the soil, the climate and the winemaker.

Perfect. For $11.99. Enjoy.

VOICES

Pondering Penn’s past, present and future

By Scott Graber It is Friday morning and I have The Post and Courier — Charleston’s revitalized, chock-full-of-content newspaper. This morning we learn that Penn Center is looking to the future now that parts of its campus will be designated a Na- Scott tional Histor- Graber ical Park. As I sit, coffee cup and scone in hand, I read about Penn’s current financial problems — and their hopes of a better future.

But I must confess that my mind wanders — it wanders back 40 years when I was employed at Penn Center.

In 1974 — newly hired as Penn’s attorney — I was working with Joe McDomick in a program called Black Land Services. In that capacity

we dealt with small farmers, throughout South Carolina, that were in some kind of trouble. Usually that trouble had to do with cash flow, or the marketing of tomatoes, or title to their land. Sometimes we could help. Sometimes not.

In those days the Peace Corps (and Vista) used the Penn’s buildings to train its volunteers before sending them off to work in Ghana (or to Louisiana). There was also a clinic, a small business incubator, a day care center and a demonstration farm. The campus hummed with idealism that was concentrated—every day at noon—in the cafeteria then operated by Penn.

We would all go to the cafeteria because there was no Taco Bell, Johnson Creek Tavern, Foolish Frog or any food purveyor within 10 miles of the Penn campus. And so the smell of fried chicken,

collard greens and red rice was the olfactory back drop to talk about digging wells in Senegal; or partition sales in Jasper County; or the recent resignation of Richard Nixon.

There was a palpable sense of expectation hanging over the table — and we were sure we would change the world.

Penn Center had started its life — during the Civil War — as a school to educate the newly-freed slaves. It operated as a school until the early 1950s when its board decided that Penn should be a place for planning — planning the forthcoming struggle to find fairness in voting, education, housing and health care. And in that role great people — people like Martin Luther King, Leroy Browne, Frieda Mitchell, Edith Dabbs and Courtney Siceloff — walked and talked beneath the live oaks that still survive and still bring a sense

of drama to the campus.

In the beginning Penn had been funded by wealthy Pennsylvania Quakers. But by the time I arrived Black Land Services got its funds from the John Hay Whitney Foundation, and Penn got some of its operating money from the Rockefeller Brothers Foundation. Getting these monies required an annual trip to New York City where we would give talks in carpeted, teak-paneled board rooms about the loss of black-owned farms, and the prevalence and problem with heirs property. Telling these stories was easier than solving the underlying reality that small farms, black and white, were failing all over the country.

Small farms were giving way to huge, corporate-owned enterprises in Florida, Texas and California. These irrigated, fertilized, fully mechanized

factories could manufacture softball-sized tomatoes and more soybeans per acre than the smaller farms on South Carolina’s Sea Islands. More importantly the retailers of fruit and produce, the grocery chains, liked to deal with these produce factories.

While Penn could secure initial, individual grants from New York-based foundations, it had trouble finding a steady, reliable source of income.

And — as the Post and Courier makes clear — funding has remained a difficult, uneven road for Penn. During the past 50 years Penn has often struggled to meet its payroll and the Charleston newspaper says that Penn lost money in 2016, broke even in 2017, and lost money again in 2018.

The current concept seems to involve providing accommodations — clean, attractive amenities to tourists who

want to use Penn as home base for their exploration of the Reconstruction Era relics in the area. And this may be a viable concept if the complicated Reconstruction story can told with interactive displays and informed personnel who can persuade visitors to put their cell phones in ‘airport mode.’ And if this is accomplished it may be possible for this story to compete with the grandeur of the Great Smoky Mountains — or with the now silent cannons at Ft. Pulaski and Ft. Sumter. In the meantime, Penn’s campus can certainly provide a dramatic landscape and a platform for our ongoing, national experiment to bring understanding (and harmony) to the races in the United States.

A Short Tour de Force of Beaufort County’s Magistrate Court

By David M. Taub Most folks try to avoid appearing in a courtroom. Those who fail this test and consequently have experienced a day in court often find themselves in a Magistrate’s Court.

On the totem pole of South Carolina’s unified judicial system, Magistrates’ Courts sit at the base; more than 90 percent of all cases are heard there.

State Sen. Tom Davis, a long-time friend, was sitting and chatting with me in my living room one afternoon in 2009. Out of the blue, Tom asked, “Mayor, how would you like to be a judge?” Startled, I replied, “Let me cogitate on that.” I gave it a quick thought, then said, “Let me see, ‘Judge Taub.’ Hell, that sounds good. Let’s do it.”

Tom replied, “Consider it done.” Thus, began a challenging and exciting five-year sojourn as a Beaufort County Magistrate.

Before hearing cases, newly minted magistrates must attend “Judge’s School,” held at South Carolina’s Criminal Justice Academy in Columbia, with one week each studying Criminal/Traffic and Civil law. Three years of law school were crammed into our brains

in two long intense weeks of terror — I knew how a goose must feel being prepared for foie gras. Magistrates get three chances to pass two examinations required for final certification; David M. lawyers are Taub exempt. Why? It is legend that an unnamed Chief Justice did not wish to know that attorneys boarded in South Carolina could not pass judge’s exams.

Magistrates generally focus on one area; I picked civil casework. Municipal courts don’t have civil jurisdiction so all civil cases where the monetary restitution level is under $7,500 are heard in Magistrate’s Court. I knew this would be challenging work, but fickle Lady Luck favored me in this mysterious enterprise — a very smart lawyer colleague, former Judge Beth Ann Prince, kindly guided me through the trials of climbing the Mount Everest of competent judgeship; her assistance is a debt of gratitude hard to repay.

Soon came my first day in court; I was excited and energized. Starting easy, my first

cases would be “defaults.” All I had to do was get facts “on the record” and say simply, “Court finds for the Plaintiff.”

That shouldn’t be too hard.

Dressed in my iconic black judge’s robe, I strode authoritatively into a packed courtroom.

“Hear ye, Hear ye, all rise.

Magistrate’s Court in session, Judge Taub presiding.” Everyone stood in unison as one.

As the Bailiff barked those words, I froze, my excitement suddenly melted by the blast-furnace of high-anxiety.

I was scared and intimidated.

Standing immobile, suddenly I realized I was soaking wet from an avalanche of sweat seemingly exploding from every pore in my overheated body. Holy moly, I was never so glad to be wearing a fulllength robe, which successfully hid my anxiety-induced diaphoresis (fancy medical term for plain old sweat — doctors charge extra for using fancy medical expressions we pretend to understand but don’t).

Bailiff caught my eye, and motioned for me to sit down.

I did.

I took deep breaths and absently moved some files around, never looking up. I saw the Bailiff motion to me

again, to indicate attendees should be told to sit; they had remained standing respectfully throughout my humbling ordeal. I waved my hand; they sat as one. Not a propitious beginning to my new judicial adventure.

That morning, the court served me a large piece of humble pie for lunch; I would have preferred a cold beer to aid its digestion. No one sat with me that day; I didn’t smell like “Irish Spring.”

Over the course of my five years as a Judge, I heard many cases, such as Small Claims, Breach of Contract, Torts (personal injuries), and Landlord-Tenant matters.

“Small Claims” is a misnomer.

The $7,500 limit on damages may seem small in the grand scheme of our judicial system, but to litigants, it is no small matter. Indeed, it might be the most important thing in their lives at that time. Fortunately, it did not take long to understand the gravity to folks who were standing before me, seeking fairness and justice.

If I gained any wisdom while serving as a Magistrate, it was this: Each day as I entered the courtroom I reminded myself that what I was about to do was the most important thing to citizens appearing before

me at “The Bench.”

Before the Residential Landlord-Tenant Act (RLTA), South Carolina laws were heavily weighted in landlords’ favor, because they were immunized against tort liability. In 1986, the South Carolina Legislature wished to eliminate existing laws favoring landlords. Passage of the RLTA leveled the playing field; it created tort liability as a tenant remedy, previously unavailable, to punish landlords who violated provisions of RLTA. Landlords could no longer do naughty things with impunity, such as turning off water, electricity or withholding “essential services.”

If landlords act maliciously, they are subject to financial penalties. And tenants must maintain their premises or be subject to financial damages.

It is to Magistrate’s Court that landlords go to seek permission to evict tenants.

Grounds for eviction include failure to pay rent, end of term of tenancy, and violation of lease contract. Paying rent on time is obligatory; the law grants tenants a five-day grace period, beyond which, if unpaid, landlords may request a “writ of ejectment.” If the judge finds for the landlord,

the court must grant the writ within five days, and after service by a sheriff’s deputy, the tenant must vacate the premises, voluntarily or otherwise.

Magistrate’s Court was purposely constructed so that parties could represent themselves without hiring a lawyer. This is called pro se representation. Magistrates expect pro se litigants to be fully prepared to present their cases. I was amazed at how unprepared pro se litigants often were; and especially how laissez faire folks were about their appearance in court. Dress like an adult; it shows respect for the court. In court, females’ attire should not share secrets of their anatomy; it offends Magistrates and such unveiled ladies may be compelled to adorn a court-provided very ugly sweater from the Dollar Store to keep those secrets unrevealed. Some judges have been known to expel an overly exposed lady from their courtrooms. I did so myself.

“All rise. Court adjourned.”

David M. Taub was Mayor of Beaufort from 1990 through 1999, and served as a Beaufort County Magistrate Judge from 2010 to 2015. He may be contacted at david.m.taub42@gmail.com.

CHARLIE BROWN’S CHRISTMAS TREE

When we moved here five years ago, there was a sad little stick tree in the front yard.

I kept asking my husband to chop it down. It seriously looked like some limb had snapped off a larger tree and was embedded into our lawn.

He continued to say, “No,” each time I suggested it. He was steadfast in his conviction that we should leave the little stick tree alone, and so I started to call it the Charlie Brown Christmas tree. You may recall the old Charlie Brown Christmas show that addressed the true meaning of Christmas and featured

The little sapling was the only real tree on the lot and was losing its pine needles, but Charlie Brown wanted it.

So, my Charlie Brown — as I started calling my spouse — carefully mowed around it,

though I felt that one good push with the lawn mower might have been better. Even Hurricane Matthew, which took out a bunch of our trees, did not hurt our Charlie Brown Christmas tree. It not only survived, it thrived.

One day one of our local arborists was walking by so I asked her what kind of tree it

was. To my surprise she said, “Oh, that is a beautiful Dogwood tree.”

“Good Lord, Charlie Brown!,” I said as my spouse laughed and gave me that, “I told you so,” smirk, even though he had no idea it was a Dogwood tree, either.

Then this morning, as I drove out of our driveway, I

felt like the tree was laughing at me, too. It is gorgeous this time of year with its beautiful white buds.

When I went to search online for something about Dogwood trees in South Carolina, I found an article by Jacob J. Wright called “The Dogwood Trees of South Carolina” on the gardenguides. com website.

According to him, my little stick tree is a “Flowering dogwood, (Cornus Florida) and is one of North America's most beautiful flowering trees as is beloved in South Carolina as a harbinger of mid-spring.”

(Oh man! Rub it in Jacob.) He described how the white flowers usually come in March and early April. Then in the summer there are small oval fruits that are red. In autumn the leaves blush to shades of red, purple and pink.

And so my Charlie Brown was right. The little tree just needed someone to give it some time and care. After years of mocking the tree, I am now joining the Peanuts cast in singing “Hark the Herald Angels Sing” and enjoying the most beautiful flowering tree in North America.

Interim administrator tells county council what they don't want to hear

By Bill Rauch Regular readers of this column will recall a study that appeared here in September 2016 that showed that of the three-quarters of a billion dollars that had been raised over the previous 20 years in Beaufort County using Bill the mecha- Rauch nisms of the transportation bond referendum, the school bond referendum and the penny sales tax for roads referendum, 60 percent of the dollars raised have been spent in the Bluffton area.

That the County Council “missed it” on the 1994 Del Webb development agreement that created Sun City Hilton Head is putting it kindly. We have been paying for the Bluffton explosion ever since.

Now comes another heretofore unappreciated cost of their 1994 short-sightedness, and it should be noted here that none of the present County Council members were on council in 1994.

Interim administrators, especially if they are forthright and seasoned veterans, can in the typically short time they serve perform a valuable service. Beaufort’s County’s present interim administrator, John Weaver, who will turn the top job over to Ashley Jacobs on April 15, is a classic example.

Seasoned, forthright, now with five months in the job and unencumbered by polit-

ical considerations, Weaver has been telling it straight about what he has concluded is the present snapshot situation at the Beaufort County government.

Here’s what he found.

There are today 85-90 staff vacancies in the county’s nearly 1,300 mostly full-time workforce. The number of vacancies is double what it was five years ago, according to the Employee Services Division Director Suzanne Gregory, who says getting the county’s work done is “becoming unmanageable” because of the vacancies.

Gregory and Assistant County Administrator for Public Safety Phil Foot cite corrections officers being required to work back-to-back eight-hour shifts at the jail, and shortages of certified EMS paramedics to care for patients being transported in ambulances as particularly critical areas. But there are others too, they say.

Why is the county workforce so thin?

Because, says Gregory, after the county’s 2015 wage study the County Council determined they would set salaries at the 50th percentile of what comparable workers make. It wasn’t enough, and as a result in recent years the county has been losing workers to other jurisdictions that pay better.

“Let’s say we hire an assistant planner for $43,000 a year,” Weaver says. “Sounds like a good salary right? But after he or she pays 20-30 percent in taxes, and they have a baby with the hos-

pitalization costs, or day care, they’re down to $2,700 a month to live on, and you can’t do that in Beaufort County. The rents are too steep.”

To address the housing situation for government employees, Weaver has encouraged the county’s development agreement negotiators to insist new developments include affordable housing in their plans.

“We had two developers in here this week and we talked to each of them about including an affordable component in their project, and they both pushed back hard,” Weaver recalled last week. “It comes right out of their profit.”

In fact, he says Beaufort County has never imposed an inclusionary housing stipulation on any developer. Inclusionary housing stipulations might be things like expedited permits, cash subsidies or zoning bonuses provided to developers who include affordable units in their projects. Inclusionary housing stipulations, reached on a deal-by-deal basis, are typically a far gentler requirement than inclusionary zoning, prevalent now in some communities, that simply mandates county-wide that a proportion of every new development include affordable housing.

With the cost of housing so high now, Gregory says returning to competitiveness would require the County Council to increase the counHOME AWAY ty’s standard compensation formulae to the 75th percentile at a cost of about a $7.3

million increase in the county’s current operating budget of about $125 million.

“And they will have to do it in the upcoming budget season,” Weaver adds, “because next year’s an election year and it will never happen then.”

Did I mention that in the 1994 development agreement that passed unanimously Del Webb magnanimously agreed to lease the Sheriff’s Office two new cruisers?

I’ve been reading over the old minutes. Development Agreement Subcommittee Chairman Leonard Tinnan and Council Chairman Tom Taylor, both of whom have since moved out of the county, cheered themselves and the two cruisers as a great victory for the county’s taxpayers then.

Hold on. There’s more.

If the county were actually to hire the people for whom it currently has budget lines, Weaver says, there’d be no

place for many of them to sit.

The county already has plans to demolish the existing Arthur Horne Building on Ribaut Road and replace it with an estimated $7 million, 23,000 sq. ft., three-story office building. The bulldozers will arrive soon and the new building’s about to go out to bid.

But Weaver says the county should also take back the 12,000 sq. ft. Federal Courthouse at 1501 Bay Street in Beaufort from the Santa Elena Foundation to whom they have been renting the building for $1 a month. The Foundation’s lease runs out next year, and the county has discovered that the Foundation has violated the terms of that lease by subletting some of the space.

Sublets or no sublets, the county needs the space, he says.

Old-timers still remember when County Council Chairman Bill Bowen was nearly

run out of town in 1991 for building “the Taj Mahal on Ribaut Road,” now known as the Beaufort County Government Center. Twenty-five years later, still grappling with the Bluffton explosion, the county government has now not only outgrown the Taj, it has outgrown five buildings in the Industrial Village too, not to mention various substations and mini-government centers elsewhere in the county.

Now, apparently still unwilling to impose a single inclusionary housing measure upon any of the many developers who followed Sun City here, the County Council faces a tough choice: raise taxes, cut services, or kick the can down the road again until the staff shortages finally cause some now-unimaginable crisis that will finally prompt action...
