Tragic ending to search for missing boater
Volunteers Mike Szucs, left, and Mike Sackman go over their search plan before setting out in the Beaufort River on Saturday, March 2. Sackman was just part of the flotilla of volunteers to help find Mallory Beach, 19, who had been missing following a boating accident on Sunday, Feb. 24 in Archers Creek, a small cut between Battery Creek and Broad River. In the background is one of Beaufort Water Search and Rescue’s boats. From staff reports The search for a woman missing since a boating accident in the early hours of Feb. 25 came to a tragic conclusion Sunday afternoon, when the body of 19-year-old Mallory Beach was found in the Broad River near Habersham subdivision just west of the Broad River Bridge. An autopsy confirmed Beach died of blunt force trauma to the head from the boating accident and drowning. The search for Beach began in earnest after the boat she was riding in with five friends hit a group of pylons near the bridge on Archer’s Creek near Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island around 2 a.m. on Sunday, Feb. 25. Throughout the week, Beaufort County waters were crisscrossed by boats manned by various organizations, as well as a flotilla of volunteers who showed up with their boats wanting to help.
Mike Sackman of Beaufort, when asked why he was getting ready to launch his boat prior to heavy rains on Saturday, said “for closure for the family.” Althought he didn’t know the family directly, Sackman said his son knew Beach and he felt compelled to help. “I’m a Navy diver. I’ve done things like this before,” Sackman said. “I don’t want to interfere with the professionals. They are doing a great job, but the more eyes the better in this situation”. Sackman, drawing on his naval expertise, divided the Beaufort River, Battery Creek, and Archer’s Creek parts of the Port Royal Sound into six search zones. Sackman said he made a Facebook post on Thursday, Feb. 28, for anyone with a boat to come out and help search and quickly received 11 commitments. Beaufort Water Search and
A group of local volunteers got together to form the Citizen Angel group. According to organizer, Lottie Campenella, the group collected nearly $2,500 to be used to help offset some of the cost incurred by other volunteers searching for Mallory Beach. The proceeds were used to purchase snacks, food and drinks, supplies, and pre-paid Visa cards to cover fuel costs for volunteers spending hours and days assisting in the search.

Photos by Bob Sofaly. Rescue had its three boats out each day and had an airboat on standby for searching the marsh, if needed, according to First Mate David Refosco. Refosco said members of Fripp Island Search and Rescue were also assisting. Other volunteers like Lottie Campenella assisted in
the search efforts without a boat. Campanella and a few friends started the Citizen Angel page on Facebook to help the volunteers at a small stand near the Chechessee boat ramp. “People want to help out,” Campanella said as one woman from Bluffton turned off
S.C. 170 to give them a cash donation. “We made enough money in just a couple days to give the searchers gift bags containing sunscreen, bug spray and other items one might need on the water.” Campenella also said they included a pre-paid Visa card in each bag to help offset the cost
Reconstruction Era National Park clears Congressional hurdle Congress last week passed the largest public lands package in a decade, including a measure that permanently reauthorizes the Land and Water Conservation Fund, with broad bipartisan support. The wide-reaching legislation hits close to home because it also expands the Reconstruction Era National Monument and redesignates it as a national historical park. The bill authorizes the expansion of the park’s boundaries within the Beaufort National Historic Landmark District, on St. Helena
Island, and at the Camp Saxton Site in Port Royal and establihses the Reconstruction Era National Historic Network, a program to preserve and promote Reconstruction Era sites around the country, which will be managed by the National Park Service. The package passed with enormous bipartisan support, including a 92-8 vote in the Senate and a 363-62 vote in the House. “I am grateful to join with so many of my colleagues today to support the Natural Resources Management Act,” said Congressman Joe

Wilson (R-S.C.) “This measure permanently reauthorizes the Land and Water Conversation Fund and provides protections to millions of acres of federal lands. The broad bipartisan support for this bill shows that our public places are about people, not politics.” Congressman Wilson was one of several legislators who worked with Conservation Voters of South Carolina to ask Congress to reauthorize the LWCF. In October 2018, Wilson joined CVSC for a press conference and a kayak tour of LWCF
supported parks and river access on the Saluda River near Columbia. Congressman Joe Cunningham (D-S.C.) took the helm after Mark Sanford left office, but kept the momentum of his predecessor. “I’m proud to champion the permanent reauthorization of the Land and Water Conservation Fund, which enriches countless lives in the Lowcountry by investing in local parks, trails, public lands and outdoors spaces,” Cunningham said. “LWCF is the gold standard of conservation programs and has

invested more than $294 million in South Carolina to protect its recreation areas and open spaces since 1965. While I believe this important, bipartisan program should never have been allowed to expire, I’m proud we could come together now to ensure future generations enjoy unfettered access to our great outdoors.” The bill now goes to President Trump’s desk. Since its expiration September 30, 2018, communities across the state have lost out on over $365 million for public space projects, according to CVSC.
of fuel for those not funded by state or county agencies. Local restaurants also helped out with drinks and sandwiches, all free of charge to those searching for Beach. One little girl also helping out said, “It’s like the whole place wants to help the family.”

Williams named executive director of Open Land Trust Kristin Williams has assumed the post as executive director of the Beaufort County Open Land Trust following a year as director of stewardship, a position in which she was responsible for all management activities related to the trust’s 137 fee properties and conservation easements. Williams brings with her
10 years of leadership in environmental protection and conservation. She previously served as execKristin utive director Williams of the prominent conservation organization “Friends of the Environ-
ment”in Abaco, Bahamas. “We are thrilled to have Kristen lead the trust’s important work in Beaufort County and take that work to the next level,” said Cindy Baysden, who retired on Dec. 31. “Since its inception almost 50 years ago, the Beaufort County Open Land Trust has become one of the most
successful organizations of its kind in the Southeast.” Williams is a native of the Bahamas. She is very familiar with the South Carolina coast and Lowcountry Region, having graduated from College of Charleston in 2003. “Most of my adult life has been spent protecting natural areas and connecting them
with people, and the Open Land Trust has been a model in this regard,” said Williams. “I consider it a true privilege to assume this position, and I look forward to the new opportunities it presents.” In the Bahamas, Williams was known as an extremely resourceful fundraiser. During her tenure with that non-profit
organization she strengthened and expanded educational programs and established relationships with organizations like Disney’s Animals, Science and Environment, National Geographic and The International Gamefish Organization. Williams currently lives in Beaufort with her husband, Lloyd, and their two children.
Burton Firefighters Graduate Surrounded by family, friends, and fellow firefighters, three of the Burton Fire District’s newest members celebrated their graduation from the South Carolina Fire Academy on Friday, March 1, and started their local training back at the Burton Fire District this week. Cody Clevinger, Tyler Nix, and Scott O’Neal, became the Burton Fire District’s newest firefighters after graduating from the South Carolina Fire Academy’s eight-week recruit school. All three graduated with nationally recognized certifications in both the International Fire Service Accred-

Firefighters Clevinger, Nix, and O’Neal will be starting their probationary period this week back at the Burton Fire District, where they will adapt and apply what they learned at the academy to the real world and begin their training to become Emergency Medical Technicians. “They all did very well at the academy and are welcome additions to our family,” Burton Fire Chief Harry Rountree said. “They have quite a bit of training still.

Eagles off to a hot start
Beaufort High continued its strong start to the season with a doubleheader sweep of visiting Norfolk Academy on Monday, winning 3-2 and 15-0. Wes Graves threw four scoreless innings to earn the win in the first game, striking out four and allowing three hits. Ethan Graham and Luke Londono each drove in a run, and Reed Reichel and Paul Winland each had a hit and scored a run. In game 2, Winland was 2-for-2 with two runs and four RBIs, Graham was 1-for-2 with two runs and four RBIs, Luke Londono was 2-for-3 with two RBIs, and Christian Londono was 2-for-3 with an RBI and two runs. Graham struck out the side in a scoreless inning, and Oliver Holmes struck out four over two scoreless frames in the shutout. The Eagles (6-2) host Wade Hampton on Monday.

Beaufort High’s girls opened their season at home against Oceanside Collegiate on Tuesday, losing in penalties after playing to a 2-2 draw. The Eagles trailed 2-0 at halftime before Caroline Louw scored a pair of second-half goals to pull Beaufort even. The Landsharks outscored the Eagles 4-3 in penalties to earn the win. Beaufort (0-1) was scheduled to travel to Battery Creek on Tuesday.

Defending champ, S.C. native Johnson among early RBC Heritage commitments The first round of players have begun to announce their commitments to play in the 51st RBC Heritage Presented by Boeing, and the initial wave includes several big-name stars, as well as the defending champion. Seven members of Team RBC — including South Carolina native Dustin Johnson — have committed to play April 15-21 at Harbour Town Golf Links. Team RBC ambassadors Johnson, Webb Simpson, Jim Furyk, Matt Kuchar, Brandt Snedeker, Graeme McDowell and Ryan Palmer will all be competing for a chance to take home a tartan jacket — or in the case of Furyk, Kuchar, Snedeker, and McDowell … another one. Johnson joined Team RBC in 2018 and last year competed at the RBC Heritage for the first time since 2009. He secured three PGA Tour victories in 2018, including the
Dustin Johnson RBC Canadian Open. Johnson has earned 20 victories on the PGA Tour since leaving Coastal Carolina University in 2007 and was named the 2016 PGA Tour Player of the Year. He is currently second in the Official World Golf Rankings. Simpson, a native of Charlotte, North Carolina, is the newest member of Team RBC and has a great history at the RBC Heritage. He has carded five top-20 finishes in nine starts, including a second-place finish in 2013 after a losing a sudden-death playoff to fellow RBC Team member McDowell. He has earned five victories on the PGA Tour, including the 2012
U.S. Open and the 2018 Players Championship. Two-time Heritage champion Furyk served as the United States Ryder Cup captain for the 42nd Ryder Cup and was an assistant captain on the winning 2017 Presidents Cup team. The University of Arizona grad has won 17 PGA Tour titles, and was the 2010 Player of the Year and FedExCup Champion. Kuchar won the 2014 RBC Heritage in dramatic style, holing a bunker shot for birdie on the 18th hole to earn a final-round 64 and a one-stroke victory. It was his seventh PGA Tour win and helped earn him a spot on his third U.S. Ryder Cup team. Kuchar, who has been part of Team RBC since 2011, was also a member of the winning 2017 Presidents Cup team. His 2019 season is off to a great start, with wins at the Mayakoba Golf Classic and the Sony Open in Hawaii.
Snedeker earned his ninth win on the PGA Tour at last year’s Wyndham Championship. After winning the 2011 Heritage, Snedeker secured two PGA Tour victories in 2012, first at the Farmers Insurance Open and then at the Tour Championship. Those wins helped him earn the 2012 FedExCup title. Northern Ireland’s McDowell earned his second PGA Tour win at the 2013 RBC Heritage, where he defeated Simpson in a sudden-death playoff. Japan’s Satoshi Kodaira also will return to defend his title. Kodaira made a 25-foot birdie putt on the third playoff hole of the 2018 Heritage to defeat South Korean Si Woo Kim after coming from six shots behind in the final round for his first PGA Tour victory. The 29-year-old has earned eight international victories and is currently 58th in the Official World
Beaufort High track starts season strong Beaufort High’s boys track and field team picked up where it left off during last year’s state championship season, finishing second to defending Class 5A champion Wando at the Sandlappers Classic on Saturday in West Ashley.
The Eagles finished with 90 points to Wando’s 108 to earn runner-up honors in the 22-team meet. Beaufort High’s girls tied for fourth. Kenneth Williams had a big day for the Eagles, finishing second in the high jump (6-4) and third in the long
jump (21-2) while joining Trejohn Smalls, Ky’Yea Little, and Shylik Smalls on the third-place 4×100 relay. Dexter Ratliff was the Eagles’ lone individual champion on the boys side, winning the discus (161-9) and finishing third in the shot put (46-
10). Marlon Belden finished second in the 1600 (4:36.48) and was part of the thirdplace 4×1600 relay along with Nash Mills, Charlie Bennett, and Max Davis. Jonathan Pozas finished third in the 800 (2:05.21) and joined Trejohn Smalls, Shylik Smalls,
Golf Rankings. Xander Schauffele — ranked seventh in the Official World Golf Rankings — was the first top-10 player to commit to this year’s event. Schauffele already has claimed victories at the 2019 WGC–HSBC Champions and the Sentry Tournament of Champions. Englishman Tommy Fleetwood, currently ranked 14th in the Official World Golf Rankings, will make his first start at Harbour Town. Fleetwood has carded five international victories and has made a name for himself as a regular contender in major championships. Kim will make his third start at Harbour Town after carding a runner-up finish last year when he lost to Kodaira on the third playoff hole. Kim is ranked 52nd in the Official World Golf Rankings and has earned two wins on the PGA Tour.
and Aydreyan Laurie on the third-place 4×400 relay. The highlight for Beaufort’s girls was a 1-2 finish in the 100 from Layla Warren (16.71) and Makayla Johnson (17.16). Nigeria Davila also placed third in the high jump (4-10).
BCHS boys win in OT
After going 0-2 at the Charleston Soccer Shootout, Battery Creek’s boys won their first two regular-season games last week. Alex Cruz scored five goals and added three assists to lead the Dolphins in a 9-0 home win over Colleton County on Tuesday. Dallin Morgan added two goals and four assists, Camden Vuocolo had a goal and an assist, and Eddy Aquino notched an assist. Battery Creek made it two straight wins with a 3-2 overtime victory at Goose Creek on Friday. Cruz netted a goal and an assist, Morgan and Dreshaun Brown each scored a goal, and Vuocolo and Aquino added an assist apiece. The Dolphins (2-2) were scheduled to travel to Beaufort High on Tuesday.
TRACK & FIELD
Warriors open season
Whale Branch placed ninth in the girls standings and the boys were 10th at the Adidas Lowcountry Invitational on Saturday at Woodland High School. Makhi Spencer won the discus with a throw of 115 feet, 6 inches, to lead the Warriors, and the girls 4×100 relay was third with a time of 51.99 seconds.
BASKETBALL
BA players named SCISA all-stars
Three Beaufort Academy basketball players were selected to play in the SCISA NorthSouth All-Star Games last Saturday at Wilson Hall in Sumter. Beaufort Academy’s Amelia Huebel and EmilyAnn Hiers played for the North squad in the Class 1A girls game and BA’s Dawson Coleman was on the North team in the Class 1A boys contest.
SCHOOLS
JACOB Kit expands to Burton middle schools With installation of bleeding control kits in Whale Branch Middle School last week, the JACOB Kit program has now expanded to cover every elementary and middle school classroom in the Burton Fire District. On Tuesday, Feb. 26, Burton Fire District firefighters, Beaufort County EMS personnel, and local retired CIA officer Ed Lovette installed 45 bleeding control kits in Whale Branch Middle School, placing them in classrooms, the cafeteria, media center, gym, and select offices. Emergency crews did the same at Robert Smalls International Academy on Feb. 19, complet-
ing both middle schools in the Burton Fire District. This program is named after 6-year-old Jacob Hall, who died from wounds sustained during a 2016 school
shooting in Townville, S.C. Jacob died due to massive blood loss, according to doctors who treated him. Since the program’s launch at Broad River Elementary School in August 2015, more than 300 kits have been installed in every elementary school and middle school classroom within the Burton Fire District, and all of the teachers and staff at each school have received training from Burton paramedics on how to stop major bleeding and treat critical wounds. Burton Fire Chief Harry Rountree states that this program gives the teachers the skills and resources to
Ameris Bank becomes title sponsor for Bridges Prep Block Party Ameris Bank donated $3,000 to the Bridges Preparatory School PTO for the sixth annual Bridges Block Party and Shrimp and Grits Cookoff, the school announced. All proceeds from the event will go toward an activity bus for the school. Ameris Bank is the title sponsor of this event and has been deemed Captain of the Ship for their contribution. “This donation will do big things for Bridges Preparatory School, and combined with other donations received during their annual fundraiser, will help the school purchase a new activity bus for their students,” said Amy Painton of the Bridges Prep PTO. The bus will open up new possibilities for small group field trips, student community projects, sporting events and more, Painton said. Taylor Hunt with Bridges PTO said the Ameris dona-
tion, along with other sponsorships and donations, will help push the fast-growing state charter school forward. “We are so thankful for the dedication of the Ameris leadership and our other sponsors to our students at Bridges,” Hunt said. “This contribution will help us fulfill our mission as a school.” The Block Party is set for Saturday, March 9, from noon to 5 p.m. on Paris Avenue in Port Royal. The event features local chefs competing
for top honors with their version of the Lowcountry favorite shrimp and grits. The winning recipe will receive the People’s Choice Award for the best shrimp and grits in the Lowcountry. The community-wide event also includes live music by Broke Locals, a kids zone, a wide array of food trucks and unique arts and crafts available for all to enjoy. For the thrill-seeker in the family, they will also have a 100-foot fun slide and more.
keep wounded children and teachers alive until his forces, along with Beaufort County EMS, arrive on scene. “When fire trucks and ambulances are minutes away, seconds count,” Rountree said. Burton fire officials began the program in elementary schools first, and then the middle schools next, because children at those ages have less blood volume, and can bleed out quicker than older children. Chief Rountree says he plans on expanding the program to both Whale Branch and Battery Creek high schools. In cooperation with the Beaufort County School Dis-
trict, the Sheldon Fire District, Beaufort/Port Royal Fire Department, Lady’s Island/St Helena Fire District, and the Bluffton Fire District, have also installed JACOB Kits in both public and private schools within their jurisdictions. Rountree says what makes this program special is that it has been community supported and driven, with no cost to the school district or taxpayers. The expansion into the middle schools was made possible through a Coastal Community Foundation grant, a donation from Beaufort Lowe’s and Washington National Insurance,
and individual donations from local residents. “The community rallied behind this program and our students’ safety and made this possible,” Rountree said. “This is a community program.” Burton fire officials say more donations are needed to expand the program into the high schools and anticipate needing approximately 200 kits. Kits cost $47 each, but officials say any donation is helpful. People wishing to donate to the program can email safetyed@burtonfd.org or call the Burton Fire District at 843-255-8011.

Reasons for Faith
Are We Just Lucky? The Fine-Tuning of the Universe
What if the strength of gravity were slightly different?
The universe displays a remarkable fine-tuning.
Scientists have discovered that if the force of gravity were ever so slightly weaker than it is, the universe would have expanded so rapidly that stars like the sun would never have formed. And if gravity were ever so slightly stronger than it is, the universe would never have expanded outwards and formed stars and planets like ours. In either case, we would not exist. If the strength of gravity were analogous to the amount of sand needed to fill an Olympic pool, life would be impossible with the addition or subtraction of a single grain of sand!
We can imagine each of these fundamental constants like enormous dials on a wall. Each of these dials could have been turned to any setting, and yet they are each turned to the precise combination that allows for the formation of stars, planets, and life. This has caused scientists to remark that the universe seems to be finely tuned to enable the development of life as we know it.
Many similar examples of precision have been discovered.
The strength of gravity is one of about twenty fundamental constants of nature identified by scientists. If any of these constants were slightly different, our universe would have been inhospitable for life. For example, the strong nuclear force binds together protons and neutrons. If it were slightly stronger, no hydrogen would have remained to form stars; if it were slightly weaker, no elements other than hydrogen would ever have formed, and therefore no building blocks of life such as carbon.
Is this fine-tuning simply the result of random chance?
Are the fundamental constants so precisely tuned merely due to random chance? The odds of all of these constants coinciding to allow for life are so remote that they seem to demand an explanation. It would be like a man buying one lottery ticket at a time, and winning the jackpot dozens of times in a row: the odds are so unthinkable that chance would be ruled out and other explanations would be sought, such as manipulation of the games. Can this fine-tuning be explained by infinite universes?
Recognizing that there must be an explanation besides chance to account for the fine-tuning we observe, some scientists now speculate that an infinite number of universes were created from the Big Bang. Each of these universes has its own random setting of the “dials,” and we happen to be in one of the universes where the combinations align perfectly to allow for life. In the lottery example above, this would be like saying that there are countless universes where the man bought tickets and lost, and we happen to live in a universe where all his tickets were winners. Is there a better explanation for this fine-tuning?
Since science is limited to the study of our own universe, we can never scientifically prove the existence of infinite universes. In other words, such a belief would require a leap of faith. It is reasonable to look at the evidence and take a different leap of faith: that the universe is finely tuned for life because it has been purposefully designed this way by its creator.

Habitat art auction to feature local artist Lady's Island artist Billy Wilkie has been selected as the featured artist for the Third UpCycled Art Auction to benefit Lowcountry Habitat For Humanity. Wilkie is known for his whimsical birds and Lowcountry scenes in acrylics and watercolors which can be seen locally at the Red Piano Too Gallery on St. Helena Island. The UpCycled Art Auction has been a successful event for Lowcountry Habitat For Humanity starting in 2014 when the proceeds helped fund the 10th Anni-
versary ReStore house, which was built on Ivy Lane in the Mossy Oaks neighborhood. The ReStore is a consistent source of funds for building affordable houses for families in northern Beaufort County. The ReStore accepts and sells recycled donations of home furnishings, furniture, books, appliances, and various building supplies from the retail space at 612 Parris Island Gateway. As part of the UpCycled Art Auction, artists may select an item from the ReStore to re-purpose, embellish, or
re-imagine for the auction at the event from 4-7 p.m. on Saturday, April 6. Historic Penn Center will host this event, which will include live and silent auctions of art, musical entertainment, a Lowcountry boil with all the fixings provided by Boondocks Restaurant and appearances by many local artists. Ticket sales will begin online in early February and will be limited. Artists and guests wishing more information can contact the LowCountry Habitat For Humanity office at 843-522-3500.

Union troops to occupy Beaufort Arsenal on Saturday Beaufort History Museum will present its fourth annual Living History Encampment from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, March 9, in the Arsenal courtyard. Re-enactors coming to Beaufort from several states will portray Union troops from the Department of the South who were garrisoned in the Lowcountry and occupied the Beaufort Arsenal during the Civil War. The re-enactors will set up camp in the walled Arsenal courtyard and provide a unique educational opportunity for visitors of all ages, who will be able to interact with the soldiers to learn firsthand how life was lived in Beaufort during the Civil War. A Civil War era cannon also will be on display in the Arsenal courtyard during the event. This year, the museum is partnering with the National Park Service (NPS) and its
Reconstruction Era National Monument visitors center, located in the old Firehouse building on Craven Street across from the Arsenal. The museum’s highly-acclaimed exhibit “Reconstruction Beaufort” is on display at the visitors center, which will be open the day of the encampment. Beaufort is the place where Reconstruction first began,
during the early years of the Civil War. The National Park Service plans special activities the day of the encampment event for kids who want to earn their Junior Ranger badges. “Our annual Living History Encampment is one of the museum’s most popular events, attracting hundreds of visitors in a single day,” said Carol Lauvray, president of
the BHM Board of Directors. “We are very grateful to the encampment organizer, Lou Evans, to the other re-enactors, and to Scott Teodorski, superintendent of the Park Service’s Reconstruction Era National Monument, for partnering with the museum to make this remarkable event
available to the public.” Admission is free to the encampment in the Arsenal courtyard, however donations to support the museum are much appreciated. On the day of the event, admission to the museum’s newly-renovated Exhibition Hall on the second floor of the Arsenal
will be specially priced at $5 per visitor ($4 for seniors). Museum members, children, and active military and their families are admitted to the museum free of charge at all times. Admission is free to the National Park Service’s Reconstruction Era National Monument visitors center. MARCH 7 - 13, 2019

Preserving Port Royal’s relationship with the water
By Scott Graber It was clear that Saturday morning in 1988 as we waited for Rep. Harriet Keyserling — sitting aboard a huge, pile-driving tractor — to push a pedal that would punch the first creosote piling into the marsh. It had been a long slog getting the permits, but on this cool, crisp morning it looked like Port Royal’s boardwalk (and tower) would actually get built. The boardwalk and the tower emerged from a dispute between the Town of Port Royal and the State Ports Authority that got underway when the Ports Authority informed Scott the town they Graber were going to increase the size of the port; increase the truck traffic on Paris Avenue; and close-off streets that had been open to the public. I was Port Royal’s attorney and was asked by town council to reason with the port people in Charleston. I found them unresponsive. When they did respond they were incredulous that the town would actually question their important, worldwide activity. And so my demands became more frequent and their responses less frequent. I responded to this indifference by calling Sen. Jimmy Waddell and Rep. Keyserling. They explained to me — as one explains realities to a child — that the Ports Authority generated thousands of jobs, millions in income and rarely bothered the legislature for money — they generated their own salaries and operating expenses from fees charged to the container ship companies that used the Port of Charleston. I knew that one needed to allege negligence or breach of contract if we filed suit. But in this case we had two governmental bodies with differing ideas about the use of land located in Port Royal. Although I was young and callow, I knew the Ports Authority would respond with multi-part interrogatories, lengthy requests to produce, motions to compel and motions for summary judgment. The Ports Authority knew siege warfare — and so I prepared myself a long, unhappy time in front of increasingly impatient, increasingly annoyed judges. In the midst of my prepara-
tions I got a call from a person named Bill Lawrence. He said he was the Chief Financial Officer at the Ports Authority. He said he wanted to meet me in my office. The large man who arrived in a blue oxford cloth shirt and a blazer said he liked the room and wanted to stay and talk in my tasteful, sun-filled lobby. “I find that things go better,” he began, “if there’s good lighting and if we spend a few minutes on pleasantries.” “Look,” I said, “We’re both busy and I think we should get straight to the issues where we disagree.” “Tell me about your wife, Scott, and your son,” he said. Reluctantly, I told Bill about my son, Zach, who was then 8 years old and just beginning to play soccer. I told him that our small family had just gone to see “Cats” in New York and I couldn’t get Zach to stop singing “Mr. Mephistopheles.” Then, sure I was being manipulated, I said, “OK, we’ve had our required bonding exercise. Now let’s talk about noise. The noise generated when the Repap Enterprise docks at the Port.” “No, you still don’t understand your part,” he said. “Now you’re supposed to ask me about my family, my children, “ And so Bill told me about his wife, his children, growing up in Charleston and, eventually, explained the fees and costs of loading and unloading large ships. After this hour long tutorial I asked, “Why are you here?” “What is it you fear?,” he replied. “I fear the Ports Authority will expand into Port Royal and turn the town into something industrial. Something
with noise, truck traffic and congestion — like North Charleston. But more than congestion and noise, Port Royal people have always had access to the water. People have always been able to walk around the docks in the evening.” “When we unload a ship we worry about safety,” Bill said. “But I hear you about access. What can we do about assuring your folks that they can still walk along the water? What can we do so you can still have visual access into the port? Perhaps some kind of boardwalk…” “Perhaps some kind of boardwalk” came to mind this week as I spoke with Dean Moss about the public pathway which is part of the port’s development plan. The proposed pathway starts at the western terminus of the existing boardwalk, working its way around (and seaward) of the old terminal building. Then it hugs the shoreline of Battery Creek, working its way up to the Fishcamp restaurant. From the restaurant, the trail will follow the old rail bed, eventually merging into the Spanish Moss Trail. Port Royal has had a long relationship with the waters that surround this peninsula. Moss, Van Willis and the developers have made it clear they want this relationship to continue. Soon it will be possible to enjoy a blackened Carolina catfish and a well-oaked Chardonnay at Fishcamp, and then walk to the observation tower and listen to the well-challenged recruits on Parris Island.

Stocking up on spring essentials 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. The other day, I was in the parking lot of our local hardware store and walked past black cars, white cars and red cars. As I turned around and looked at my normally blue car, it became painfully obvious which cars were kept in a garage and which were not. My non-garaged car was covered with yellow pollen. Yes, it is that time of year when everything seems to take on that unique tinge. As I looked at my car, I added one more item to my shopping list, or my “spring essentials” as I call them — windshield wiper fluid. I think I had to go through a half a gallon of fluid to see out the windshield before driving down my road. When I got into the store, I grabbed a basket and went for furnace filters. With all the pollen floating around, I try to get fresh ones to help clear the indoor air. Then I
grabbed a new sprayer for the hose. Whether I ran over the old one in the driveway or my spouse did, it does not matter. That sprayer has had it, and if I want to see the blue paint on my car, then I need to hose it off. I opted for one of those high-pressure nozzles to get the job done. Since the back porch, the front porch, and the front walk all need to be hosed down, too, it makes sense to buy something that works. I am tired of seeing foot prints in the front hall from the pollen. Then I went for one of those big boxes of rags. It is so much easier to wipe down the porch railings in the morning before the pollen dries and bakes into the wood. There were other things I picked up like batteries for the smoke detectors, a new pair of gardening gloves
and, of course, insect repellent. Then, as I was walking around the store, I could hear people sneezing and coughing and remembered that my list of “spring essentials” also required a visit to the drug store. Seems like many people have the problem of a scratchy throat, watering eyes, and sneezing when there is this much pollen in the air. I stopped and picked up some Kleenex, an anti-histamine, and throat lozenges. I also threw in some Benadryl because the bees are out, too, and it does not hurt to be prepared in case of a bee sting. Despite some of the springtime challenges, I do enjoy this time of year. My azalea bushes are starting to flower, the tulips are coming up, and it is nice to see my car blue again — at least until tomorrow.
FOOD WINE & DINE
Life with Solitude By Celia Strong The Côtes du Rhône is an AC region located in southeastern France along the banks of the Rhône River. The valley was formed in the last ice age when the Rhône Glacier carved its way south through France. The river itself runs down from the Alps, for 505 miles, to the Mediterranean Sea. Geography separates the region into two very separate and different parts. Today, we’re concentrating on the southern portion, where the river is wider and the climate is marked by long, hot summers, mild winters, less rainfall, and the famous Mistral wind. A unique ground coverage of wild herbs called “Garrigue” gives the wines added flavors. The Rhône region produces red (89%), white (4%), and rosé (7%) wines. Dry, sweet and sparkling. Wines have been made in the Rhône Valley since before the Romans. For centuries, wines from the right bank — the eastern side — were favorites of kings and papal communities. In 1305, Pope
Clement V moved the Papal seat from Rome into France. Clement was from Bordeaux and did not feel safe in the political atmosphere of Rome. He settled near Avignon and named his new city Châteauneuf-duPape, the new castle of the Pope. With regard to wines, Celia Clement and Strong Pope John XXII who followed him were both avid Burgundy drinkers and encouraged the growth and enhancement of Rhône area vineyards and wines. What became the AC Rhône region wine laws, in 1937, were actually winemaker regulations used in growing and production since 1650. The Côtes du Rhône appellation covers over 207,000 acres. Close to 500 million bottles are made each year. For reds and rosés, Grenache (officially Grenache Noir), Syrah, Cinsault, Carignane, Counoise and Mouvèdre grapes are allowed. Red wines
must include a minimum 40 percent Grenache, if grown south of Montélimar, and can contain 5 percent white varieties. For white wines, Clairette, Gremache Blanc, Marsanne, Roussanne or Bourboulenc must make up 80 percent of the finished wine — any combination of these varieties will suffice. Plus, whites can include Viognier, Ugni Blanc and Picpoul — up to 20 percent of the total. Most Côtes du Rhône wines come from the southern part of the region. Here the massive delta of the Rhône River is spread out and the vineyards are on flatter soil. (Northern Rhône appellation vineyards are terraced into steep cliffs along the river’s edge, very labor intensive throughout the growing season and worse at harvest.) Our two Rhône wines come from Domaine de la Solitude. This property, founded in the 17th century, has been owned by the Lançon family for generations. Florent Lançon is the current winemaker and boasts its own 100 acres of
vines, averaging 50 years old. Eighty-six acres are planted with red varieties and 14.8 with white, all sustainably farmed. The vineyards have iron-rich topsoil over clay and limestone. Harvests are done by hand, and the grapes are carefully sorted to remove unwanted fruit. For the white La Solitude, the grapes are gently pressed after sorting. The Roussane and Viognier are barrel fermented. The other varieties are done in vats under temperature control. No malolactic fermentation is done. After blending (30% Clairette, 35% Grenache Blanc, 25% Roussanne, 10% Viognier), the
wine is aged in barrels, on its lees, for about eight months. The wine is a pale gold color, with aromas and flavors that include peach, honeysuckle, spiced stone fruits, flowers and lemon. Roussane and Viognier give it the floral notes and weight in your mouth. Clairette gives it freshness and moderate acidity. And, Grenache Blanc gives it depth and complexities. This wine is meant to be drunk fairly young. For $11.99. La Solitude Cotes du Rhône red is a quality red Rhône. After these grapes are sorted, they are destemmed, crushed and put into tanks. Temperature-controlled maceration
lasts for about a month. Soon after the alcoholic fermentation, the secondary malolactic fermentation occurs. Then, wines from different vineyard parcels and different varieties are aged separately for about eight months. Blending (60% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre) isn’t done until after this aging. This wine is garnet-colored, fresh and fruity with elegant tannins. It is medium- to full-bodied, firm, with abundant red and black fruits, black pepper spicy notes, and herbs. For $13.99. Enjoy, with friends or in solitude! Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island.
RECIPE
PECAN CRUSTED TROUT
Will McLenagan, Co-Owner/Executive Chef
By Leigh Moss The history of the Southern colonies is defined by the early colonists’ need for survival. The abundance of fish off the Southern coast established the historic South’s seafood cuisine. According to the book, “An Irresistible History of the Southern Food” by Rick McDaniel, the fish caught off the coast were so abundant that recipes for over 36 species of fish Leigh were recorded, Moss and Martha Washington herself began recording her recipes in 1749 featuring a popular recipe for the local trout catch. We still love our trout here, and with Lent upon us, I invite
