FEMA approves $5.8M for county debris removal Beaufort County will receive a total $5,858,517 million from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to offset costs for debris removal following Hurricane Matthew in October 2016. The two grants of $5.8 million ($2,417,040 and $3,441,477) represent a federal share of the projects’ cost totaling $7,608,464

($3,139,013 and $4,469,451). The remainder will come from non-federal sources.

Raising walls on Greene Street

March has been an exciting month for LowCountry Habitat for Humanity, its family partners, sponsors and volunteers. With the help of a multitude of volunteers, the organization has raised the walls on both of its houses on Greene Street — the 25th Anniversary Build and the Beaufort Bank Build. Special thanks to the Marine volunteers from the 1st Recruit Training Battalion who worked so diligently to get everything prepared for the wall raisings on both homes. On Saturday, March 10, the walls for Habitat's 25th Anniversary Home were raised. With the support of the Beaufort community working together to make this project a reality, the 25th Anniversary Build will provide a hand-up to homeownership to Habitat Family Partner Brandi Hussmann. Brandi is a single mother with one child. She also has guardianship of her nephew and two nieces, who will join the family living in the new home on Greene Street. Many of the sponsors for this home also joined in on the wall raising including CBC National Bank, Lowcountry Real Estate, Beaufort Realty Consultants and Kinghorn Insurance.

On Thursday, March 15, and Friday, March 16, the walls for the Beaufort Bank Build were raised with the help of many supporting local banks including Wells Fargo Bank, CBC National Bank, BB&T, Merrill Lynch/Bank of America and Ameris. The Beaufort Bank Build will become the home of Family Partner Natiema Fuller-Busby and her two children. Regarding this event, LowCountry Habitat for Humanity Executive Director Chet Houston commented, “The raising of these walls is symbolic of many pieces coming together; similarly as we as a community are coming together to end substandard housing in Northern Beaufort County.” See HABITAT, page A6

BREAKING GROUND City of Beaufort and Town of Port Royal make way for new fire station Dignitaries and firefighters gathered today at 591 Robert Smalls Parkway in Port Royal South Carolina to break ground on what will become the two Municipalities 4th fire station. “This location will anchor emergency services delivery in the 170 corridor for decades to come” said Fire Chief Reece

Bertholf. The new station breaks ground on the heals of the municipalities opening a temporary fire station next door at 599 Robert Smalls Parkway. That station was opened and staffed as of January 1st 2018. City Manager Bill Prokop and Town Manager Van Willis said, “This proj-

ect comes at a time when a contract for service with the Burton Fire district was expiring. Collectively, our staffs reviewed this project, engaged consultants to professionally analyze and confirm the project along with the service delivery, and came to the table with a project that increased fire protection services for

all citizens in the Highway 170 corridor. One of the most important aspects of this project is that it comes at no new costs to our citizens.” Brunson Construction is the general contractor on the project for building owner Scott Chapman, of Spray Holdings.

5 tips to remember for driving safely in the rain

straight until you regain control. 4. Turn off cruise control. Ironically, on rain- or snow- slick surfaces, cruise control may cause you to lose control. You might think it'll help you stay at one steady speed, but if you hydroplane while you're in cruise control, your car will actually go faster. 5. Slow down. "Speed limit signs are designed for ideal conditions, says Praeter, 'and that means driving when you have little traffic and good visibility." That's hardly the environment you're driving in when it's raining, so let up on the accelerator and allow more time to get to your destination.

Singing in the rain is fun. But driving? For some people, it's anxiety-producing. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, there are on average more than 950,000 automobile crashes each year due to wet pavement, resulting in approximately 4,700 deaths and 384,000 injuries. But being behind the wheel and a rain-splattered windshield doesn't have to be a white-knuckled, nerve-racking experience. Brent Praeter, a supervising instructor at D&D Driving School, Inc. and a member of the Driving School Association of the Americas, both in Kettering, Ohio, offers these tips for driving in a downpour: 1. Think. "Many people drive subconsciously, out of habit," says Praeter. "And when it rains, they often don't adjust their thinking." When conditions are less than ideal, drivers need to stay alert and focused on what's going on around them. 2. Turn on those headlights. It's the law in all states to turn on headlights when visibility is low, and many states also require having the headlights on when the windshield wipers are in use. Praeter says that well-working wipers and relatively new (not threadbare) tires also are must-haves when driving in rain. 3. Beware of hydroplaning. That's the technical term for what occurs when your tires are getting more traction on the layer of water on the road than on the road itself—the result is that your car begins to slide uncontrollably. It's easy enough to hydroplane: All you need is one-twelfth of an inch of rain on the road and a speed of more than 35 miles per hour. If you start to hydroplane, let off the accelerator slowly and steer

“Watching the walls go up is a truly thrilling part of our construction process, seeing the bare bones turn into the start of a true home. We are so excited for Brandi and Natiema," Houston said. Construction of these homes is progressing quickly with anticipated completion of both homes before the end of June. But Habitat can’t accomplish this without continued support from the community. The nonprofit organization is currently recruiting experienced construction volunteers to assist on the build site on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. There are so many ways that people may get involved with LowCountry Habitat and help make a difference in the community.

Country Habitat create a world where everyone has a decent place to live.

He Did It for You! Was Jesus in the wrong place at the wrong time? Nobody messes with Chuck Norris. After becoming a world champion of martial arts, Chuck Norris was noticed by Hollywood and starred in countless action movies. In recent years he has become an entertaining image of invincible strength. One can’t imagine a fighter like Chuck Norris getting cornered in a street and captured by bad guys. He could fight his way out of any trap. The only way that he could get taken is if he chose to give himself up, part of a greater master plan. Jesus was arrested and treated like a criminal. During his three years of ministry, Jesus had done nothing wrong, but upon visiting Jerusalem he was arrested and taken to court. The witnesses made up lies about him, and he was sentenced to death. Jesus was brutally mocked, tortured, and put on a cross between two criminals. Jesus freely chose to give his life for us. One might imagine Jesus as someone who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. But remember that Jesus was God in our midst. He knew ahead of time what was going to happen and freely chose to allow it to happen. He was much more powerful than any action star. With a mere thought, he could have stopped the proceedings at any time.

Jesus gave his life so we may have true life. It was all part of a divine rescue mission. Jesus knew that we were all captives to sin, and we could do nothing on our own to free ourselves. Jesus chose to give his life so that we could be freed from sin and restored as sons and daughters of the Heavenly Father. As true God, he could offer a perfect sacrifice of love. As true man, he was able to offer this sacrifice on behalf of all of humanity. His sacrifice offers us the gift of union with God, here on earth and one day in heaven. Jesus died for you personally! Jesus did not just give his life for all of us as a human race. On Good Friday, he knew each of us who would ever exist. He chose to give his life for you personally. Even if you were the only person who needed to be saved from sin, he would have still done the same! What joy as Christians, knowing that Jesus loves us so much that he chose to give his life for us!

The good shepherd lays down his life for his sheep. A few months before his arrest, Jesus described himself as the good shepherd. When wolves come, a good shepherd sacrifices himself for his flock. He too will choose to lay down his life for us, his flock: “No one takes it from me, but I lay it down on my own. I have power to lay it down, and power to take it up again. This command I have received from my Father.” (John 10:18)

BOYS' LACROSSE Beaufort High loses to Bluffton in overtime It took 26 saves by Bluffton goalie Owen Latchford to hold off a determined Beaufort squad 5-4 in overtime on Friday, March 23 at Eagle Field on Senior Night. Beaufort stormed back from a 4-0 deficit in the fourth period of this defensive battle to tie the game and send it into the extra period. The home team was led by senior Bobby Gecy who tallied two goals along with one goal each from Connor Sackman and Ethan McKenzie. The defensive midfield of Jeff Berry, Crosson Derrick, and Cameron Makar took over in the final quarter to provide Beaufort with the opportunity to rally, and Woods Langehans caused a number of timely turnovers. Eagle goalie Bryce Hage kept his team in the game with several key stops, but it was the Bobcats score in an unsettled situation with 36 seconds remaining in the first OT period which brought the visitors the win. Beaufort High School recognized and thanked its graduating seniors: Crosson Derrick, Bobby Gecy, Woods Langehans, Lucas Cato, Jeff Berry, and Cameron Makar.

COMMUNITY MARCH 29 - APRIL 4, 2018

AN IN-DEPTH LOOK AT THE PEOPLE & EVENTS THAT SHAPE OUR COMMUNITY

FIRST FRIDAY

Monthly downtown event combines with annual art walk for big spring celebration By Pamela Brownstein

When Eric and Mary Thibault opened their art gallery on Bay Street four years ago, they soon realized they wanted to do more to bring people downtown. They learned about First Friday events held in other parts of the country, and felt this model would be a good fit for Beaufort. "We just wanted to make it a really fun evening, for locals and tourists to come downtown and have that community feel," said Mary. On the first Friday of each month, participating downtown businesses stay open a little longer in the evening and offer drinks or light food or even music to encourage customers to browse and meet local artists and engage with store owners and shop local. For the first six months, the two took the event on themselves — getting the word out and organizing with other downtown businesses and generating interest among the public and support from local organizations. The Thibaults admit that it wasn't always easy, but they felt passionate about, and for four years they have pushed through and remained positive and refused to let First Friday fade away. Even though Eric and Mary were born and raised in Beaufort, they said before they opened their gallery, they never spent time just walking around downtown. “We grew up here, we own our business, we wanted to have this community event, that’s really what drove us," Eric said. "First Friday is a chance for locals to enjoy downtown." April's First Friday is a result of the Thibaults' hard work and an event that they are extremely excited about because it is the first time City Council has allowed the street to be closed to traffic. Mary said, "There are so many advantages to having the street closed — for families, for entertainment — and it adds another level of hometown feel that enhances the event." The Spring Fling-themed First Friday will be held April 6 from 5-8 p.m., in conjunction with the 14th

annual Spring Art Walk. Attendees will be treated to a vintage car show by the Carolina Dreamers Car Club, as well as live demonstrations from more than 20 artists creating new works both inside local galleries and outside in different locations downtown. Live music from the Charleston band the V-Tones will be entertaining crowds near the clock at West Street Extension from 6-9 p.m. One section of the street will be devoted to a Cake Walk, and the Beaufort Pirettes will be handling other nostalgic games where participants can play and win prizes.

sociation, Eric Thibault said he is proud of how the event has grown and that the city has embraced it. The decision to form a downtown merchants association is important for Eric in order to give a voice and speak up for the needs of other business owners. The other members of the board of directors include Kevin Cuppia of Modern Jewelers, Paul Thompson of Panini's, Ann Higgins of Scout Southern Market, and Joe O'Brien with Monkey's Uncle. The board is purposefully made up of a variety of businesses so different aspects are represented. One of the functions of the downtown merchants association is to

With Bay Street closed to traffic from Carteret to Charles streets, the Spirit of Old Beaufort Tours will be using its free shuttle bus to pick up people who parked far away and drop them off closer to Bay Street. The shuttle already is available on Fridays, but is running longer to accommodate First Friday traffic. "It takes a village, really and truly," Mary said gratefully. "How wonderful having a collaboration of a bunch of different entities working together to promote downtown." As president of the newly formed Beaufort Downtown Merchants As-

Eric said he feels like downtown merchants are the heart of Beaufort, and the heart is needed to survive, and he pours his heart into his job and his community. “We just love our sweet downtown, and we just want everyone to love it like we do," he said. It fits with one of his favorite mottos: High tide raises all boats. "When everyone succeeds, we are all lifted up," he said.

How Shannon Erickson is cracking the oyster case By Bill Rauch

After years of chasing with few or no results small manufacturing, the aircraft industry and high-tech start-ups, here’s a local economic development opportunity that is clean and that actually shows promise as a job-producer: oyster farming. And one of our elected officials, Rep. Shannon Erickson, has identified the opportunity and is seeking to cut the government red tape that is currently inhibiting the industry’s growth here. Not only would there be new jobs in oyster Bill Rauch farming, but (taking a page out of Virginia’s economic development playbook) with some smart leadership, the Carolina Lowcountry could develop an oyster-tasting tourist industry just as wine-producing regions feature wine-tasting trails. That’s more jobs. Don’t believe me? Go to www.virginiaoystertrail.com. Just as wines derive different tastes from different soils, oysters (that each filter about 50 gallons of water a day) derive different tastes from the different creeks, sounds, rivers and marshes in which they are raised. “The flavor profile of the oysters raised in Beaufort’s waters is distinctive because with no freshwater rivers and very little rain the salinity of the water here is unusually high,” eatlocalbeaufort Executive Chef Brian Wa-

ters told me last week. “And that causes our oysters to have that sweet and yet very salty taste that is highly-prized.” New York Times food writer Rowan Jacobsen, author of The Essential Oyster, agrees. Jacobsen told National Public Radio in 2016, “The oyster industry is now casting its eye down the Southeast coast and seeing paradise.” And the centerpiece of that paradise, professionals say, is the pristine waters of the ACE Basin region from McClellanville to Bluffton. But to really get the industry building out in South Carolina two problems must be solved. The first is relatively easy, to the extent that getting a piece of legislation through Columbia is ever easy. Last year the term “genetically modified organism” was naively written into a bill in Columbia that was intended to help the industry. But there is no such thing as a genetically modified oyster and “genetically modified” is a term that puts off serious foodies. To be clear, farm raised oysters have been “bred,” but they have not been “genetically modifed,” and there is a big difference. So that error didn’t help … not at all. Representative Erickson has carved that red herring out of the House version of the rewritten bill and got it passed. It went to the Senate last week. The other part is more difficult. Wild oysters can be eaten only during the seven months each year that include an “R.” But

The Carolina Lowcountry could develop an oyster-tasting tourist industry just as wineproducing regions feature wine-tasting trails. That’s more jobs. farmed oysters (that bring about three times the price brought by wild caught oysters) can be harvested and eaten all year round. Moreover, farmed oysters — which are known in the industry as “tetraploids” — have been bred to be larger and meatier than wild oysters which is why they command higher prices in the marketplace. But the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) has put a regulation into place that forbids South Carolina’s oyster farmers from having their bred oysters in the creeks and marshes during late spring and early summer, the oyster breeding season. “We want the tetraploids out of the water during the wild oyster spawning season,” SCDNR’s Director of the Office of Fisheries Management Mel Bell told me last week. “That is to prevent the risk of something unintentional happening. Remember the lion fish. Remember cudzu. When the tetraploids are breeding, they need to be in a bios-

ecure facility.” Never mind that the 13 other states that support oyster farming allow their tetraploids in the salt water year round with the wild oysters. Never mind that there have been no cases anywhere of a bred oyster successfully breeding with a wild oyster. Never mind that the marine scientists confirm that for solid science-based reasons bred oysters cannot breed with wild oysters. “South Carolina is different,” Director Bell says. “Our environment is different and our oysters are different. And we have 400 permitted oystermen and women whose livelihoods depend upon DNR protecting South Carolina’s wild caught oysters.” If the farmed oysters cannot be in the creeks and marshes during spawning season, but must be kept instead in a biosecure facility, some die and many are unable to maintain the vitality that is required for breeding. Thus yields are low and the breeders cannot get as much seed to the farmers as the farmers would like. There are ten oyster farms between McClellanville and Bluffton today, and three times that many are waiting to open when the seed becomes plentiful enough that they can be assured they can get enough to turn a profit. “We’re working on that part,” Representative Erickson says, “We’re just not there yet.” Bill Rauch was the mayor of Beaufort from 1999-2008.

LEAVE THE MAN CAVE ALONE

My spouse has a large workshop in our garage. It is a collection of workbenches, draft tables, toolboxes and a large collection of power tools. Occasionally, I will go into his “man cave” and suggest I help him straighten up a bit, maybe even purge.

Personally, I do not know how he finds anything, but he has his own organization because he always seems to know where a tool is located. He also reminds me that he never goes into my office to rearrange or clean. Fair point! Recently, after completing some work that required cutting wood, he “allowed” me to assist in the cleanup. I was salivating as I grabbed some garbage bags and the wet vac. As I stood looking at some old scraps of wood his look said “Don’t touch that wood. I might need it one day.” So, I moved the wood around to vacuum up the sawdust, and there behind a crate of old Universal TV remotes, I spotted it. My old portable cassette radio. It was at least twenty-five years old. I had bought it to use at the beach, where I would also carry my little suitcase of cassettes. I grabbed the radio and asked, “How much will you take for this item?” Forgetting for a moment I was not on an episode of Ameri-

can Pickers. I carried it into the kitchen and was thankful there were no large “D” batteries eroding in the back of it. After I cleaned it up, I plugged it in and tuned in my local radio station. It worked. It was then that I realized I did not own any of those old cassettes, except one. One very special cassette. I went up to my office and there in the corner of my desk drawer was the cassette with my dad’s writing. It was a recording he did of the song, “We’ll meet again.” I went

back to the kitchen and placed the cassette in the player. It was the first time I heard my father’s voice in 12 years. As I sat there listening, singing along, and shedding a few tears, it dawned on me that it was to my husband’s credit that I got to listen to Dad’s voice again. Imagine his surprise when I walked back into the garage and said, “Don’t throw anything away! I will never bug you again about cleaning.” After all, you never know what treasure could be found in a Man’s cave.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Vote 'no' for Beaufort County School District bond referendum

Superintendent Jeff Moss recently said he was going to respond to all of the false and misleading information that was being spread by critics of the school district. We are still waiting for his response and, to be honest, we’re not sure what he really meant anyway. When people say they do not trust him, they are not spreading false or misleading in-

formation. It’s just their honest opinion. And if they say the Board of Education is not doing its job, well, that's what they think. They are not obligated to defend their opinions to satisfy Moss or to get his approval of what they think. And when they say he hired his wife for a high-paying job, that isn't a rumor; it's a fact. And when they say he paid a substantial fine to the SC Ethics Commission as a result, that isn't false or misleading information either. Neither is the fact that five of eleven Board members voted against his ref-

erendum proposal. Perhaps he could explain that. After all, it is a fact, like the dead rat we read about and the 911 call and a dozen other things. The Superintendent is indeed confused if he thinks his opinions are facts in the same way those three FBI subpoenas are facts. There is a difference. But here’s an opinion: there were good reasons to vote against the referendum even before those subpoenas arrived. Join the good guys. Just vote “no."

ARTS THE MET OPERA LIVE IN HD AT USCB CENTER FOR THE ARTS

Delight in Mozart’s classic comedy ‘Cosi Fan Tutte’ By Alan Schuster

When librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte was writing lyrics for an opera entitled “The School for Lovers” in 1789, Mozart was writing some of the most delightful and passionate music he ever composed for an opera entitled “Cosi Fan Tutte.” Both, it turned out, were working on the same commission, given to them by the Austrian Emperor Joseph II to write a comedic opera for Vienna’s opera house. Simply put, they just didn’t agree on the title! Why? Da Ponte felt that the translation, roughly “All women behave the same”, was cynical and satirized women as being unreliable. [Beethoven called it immoral]. Of course, in the end Da Ponte yielded to the maestro, but for many years later, he continued to refer to his version, even throughout his memoirs. The Cosi synopsis below is one of many ‘traditional’ versions. However, this production is a ‘modern’ interpretation which has been described by the Met as a “clever vision of Mozart’s comedy about the sexes, set in a carnival-esque, funhouse environment inspired by

1950s Coney Island – complete with bearded ladies, fire-eaters, and a Ferris wheel.” Hence, the old-fashioned rendition below. Act 1: In the 18th century in Naples, two soldiers, Ferrando and Guglielmo, debate with an old philosopher, Don Alfonso. The soldiers believe their lovers never to be unfaithful, but Alfonso declares that all women have a cheating heart - cosi fan tutte - and they decide to make a bet on who is right. Ferrando’s lover is Dorabella, and Guglielmo’s is her sister, Fiordiligi. Alfonso tells the sisters that their lovers must suddenly depart for the battlefront. The men arrive in military garb, leading to tearful farewells when they appear to board a ship. Alfonso, having instructed the men to quickly reappear disguised as Albanians, introduces the men to the sisters. But they show no interest in them, at least not yet. Act 2: Alfonso pays the sisters’ maid, Despina, to be part of the charade, by encouraging them to cheat on their lovers. The sisters begin to talk fondly about the new men, and decide to select – unwittingly - different ones than their

original boyfriends. The disguised Guglielmo succeeds in seducing Dorabella while Ferrando likewise seduces Fiordiligi. Moving forward, the sisters sign marriage registrations with the disguised men. When the men return without disguises, they get angry with the sisters about their ‘infidelity.’ But soon they beg forgiveness and promise never again to deceive. Alfonso brings the charade to a close, advising everyone to laugh it all off. The music: Mozart has filled Cosi with some of the most sublime music ever composed. It has been called an opera of ensembles, with twelve in the first act alone ranging from duets to sextets, some deeply moving, others simply delightful. Act I: After the bet has been set, Alfonso arrives at the sisters’ home, informing them that their lovers have been called into service. Soon the men appear, thus beginning almost twenty minutes of marvelous music in the form of two quintets, “Sento, oh Dio” (Courage fails me….) and “Di scrivermi ogni giorno” (Swear you’ll write every day…) in which the ladies express

Duke Symphony Orchestra returns to Beaufort for annual performance The recently-established Foundation for Leadership Education is proud to host The Duke Symphony Orchestra’s 15th year of entertaining the Beaufort Community. Beaufort is the only community that partners with Duke for off campus performances. Talented Duke University students comprise the 60 piece orchestra who travel to Beaufort by bus and are hosted by Beaufort families for the weekend. The concert will be on Saturday, April 14, beginning at 7 p.m. at Sea Island Presbyterian Church, 81 Lady’s Island Drive, on Lady’s Island. The Beaufort Academy Blue Notes, directed by Vic Varner, will perform two pieces accompanied by the orchestra. Following, there will be an optional “Conductor’s Reception” at a private home in downtown Beaufort, where guests can enjoy refreshments and meet the Duke students and their leader, conductor Harry Davidson. The event has a serendipitous origin, as the conductor, Mr. Davidson, and his wife were visiting their good friends D. C. and Nancy Gilley in Beaufort for a birthday celebration, where Davidson met then-director of the BMH foundation, Alice Moss. Out of those friendships, the idea was born. Beaufort Memorial Hospital partnered with Duke University to create a special fundraiser. 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!” Charles Tumlin, Chairman of the Foundation for Leadership Education, says, “April 14th 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.” Proceeds of the Duke Concert will help provide scholarships through the new foundation. Dr. Dan Durbin, who is on the Board of the Foundation for Leadership Education, comments, “The Duke Symphony Orchestra Concert has become a premier event in Beaufort County. The Beaufort Academy Blue Notes are honored to be invited to participate in such a prestigious event.” General Admission tickets are $40 before April 13th and $50 at the door. Patron admission and conductor’s reception tickets are $80, presale only. For more information, go to www.lowcountryleaders.com or call 843-476-3027.

the despair of their parting. The final number, a beautiful trio “Soave sia il vento” (Gentle is the wind...) showcases the composer’s charm and serenity as Alfonso and the sisters wave farewell to their lovers, with orchestration suggesting the sounds of gentle winds and waves. [Google-worthy! Select Renee Fleming, 180,000+ views]. Act II: Two loosely-defined ‘love’ duets occupy the middle of the act. First, it’s the disguised Guglielmo and Dorabella’s “Il core vi dono” (I give you my heart..), sung to the heart-beating lyrics and soft-beating sounds of the music. It is often thought of as being the tenderest piece of love music in all Mozart. Soon after, Ferrando, also incognito, wins Fiordiligi’s love, but only after her fine aria – sung alone - “Per pieta” (In pity’s name...), asking the absent Guglielmo to forgive her if she falters. And she does, in another deeply felt duet, “Fra gli amplessi” (Very soon now...), as she begins to weaken upon hearing Ferrando’s plaintive voice. With all performers present, a lengthy finale becomes a medley of sections and sounds as couples gradually reunite, while Al-

fonso goes about collecting his bets. Opera author Charles Osborne maintains that “While the characters in the other two operas [Don Giovanni, Marriage of Figaro] are more interesting, and the action is more complex, Cosi Fan Tutte is certainly their equal, and in some moods is easier to think it superior.” The cast: Manipulating the action are the Don Alfonso of Christopher Maltman and the Despina of Tony Award winner Kelli O’Hara, with Amando Majeski, Serena Malfi, Ben Bliss and Adam Plachetka as the pairs of young lovers. David Robertson conducts. Tickets are now available at the USCB Center for the Arts, 801 Carteret Street, Beaufort. All seats are general admission. Adults $20. OLLI members $18. Students $10.
