Beaufort looks at rules for vacation rentals
Beaufort Academy takes state
By Lisa Allen
There haven’t been any problems with short-term rentals in downtown Beaufort, and the city wants to keep it that way. The city appointed a task force last year to study short-term rentals. Its tasks were to recommend an approval process, anticipate any problems that could occur and suggest rules that would head them off. “The two primary concerns are public safety and preserving neighborhood integrity and character,” said Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling. “There are no documented problems, but people assume there will be problems.” Up until about three years ago, short-term rentals were permitted only in properties that were zoned commercial. Then Airbnb and VRBOs (vacation rentals by owner) came along. “The city woke up a couple of years ago and realized that people were operating short-term rentals in areas not zoned for that,” Keyserling said. The city quickly required people to request zoning exceptions before the Zoning Board of Appeals. “We didn’t give them enough guidelines. It was arbitrary. If a neighbor objected, it was rejected. If no one complained, they were granted,” Keyserling said. Thus the 11-member task force was created. Primarily using online portals, the task force found just over 50 shortterm rentals scattered throughout the city, with noticeable numbers in Pigeon Point, Old Commons and the Northwest Quadrant. (Old Point prohibits short-term rentals.) When the city found some lacking business licenses, they contacted the owners and they quickly complied. Short-term rental properties are required to get business licenses and collect and remit occupancy and sales taxes.

The Eagles exited the 2017 season with a 13-6 record. Palmetto Christian finished its latest cam-
paign 11-6. Beaufort Academy and Palmetto Christian ended regulation scoreless. Sophomore Edward McCormick scored Beaufort Academy's first goal with 7:30 remaining in overtime.

Oyster season closes; clam season to close May 31 Staff reports
South Carolina’s harvest season for oysters and mussels closed on May 15, according to South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) officials. Clam season will close on Wednesday, May 31, at 30 minutes before official sunset. Because higher bacterial levels occur when water temperatures exceed 80 degrees Fahrenheit, shellfish harvesting during the summer months is limited to commercial harvesters who can meet rigorous handling requirements. Coastal waters will remain closed to recreational shellfish harvesting until water temperatures begin to cool in the fall, making
shellfish once again safe for harvesting and consumption. Shellfish harvesting is expected to reopen Oct. 1. SCDNR’s oyster shell recycling and replanting program continues its efforts to encourage the public to recycle their oyster shells. Oyster shell recycling drop-off locations are located throughout coastal counties, and collection sites can be at bit.ly/2r8VODS. During the summer months, SCDNR returns the recycled shell to shorelines, where it provides an ideal base for larval oysters to attach, thereby replenishing the harvested beds. When the quantity of shell needed to replant shellfish grounds exceeds those that
are recycled, SCDNR must purchase shells from other vendors. Saltwater recreational fishing license sales provide funding for SCDNR’s shellfish restoration and enhancement efforts. Late spring and early summer are also the busiest months for SCDNR’s community oyster restoration program, SCORE. The public is invited to work with SCDNR staff and other volunteers to create oyster habitat in areas that are not harvestable. The resulting oyster reefs provide a host of ecological and economic benefits, including water filtration, nutrient cycling, and habitat for fish and invertebrates. Visit saltwaterfishing.sc.gov.

PUBLIC SAFETY Burton shooting is under investigation
The Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office is investigating a shooting in Burton that left one man wounded. At approximately 9:40 p.m. May 8, a 911 call came in regarding a shooting incident on Vanita Drive in Burton. Beaufort County Sheriff 's Office deputies responded and found a wounded man and secured the scene, while others responded a short distance away to Donaldson Camp Road to meet with the other subject involved in the shooting incident (one of the 911 callers). Emergency Medical Services (EMS) was summoned to Vanita Drive and treated the man for a gunshot wound to his neck. EMS transported him to the Beaufort Memorial Hospital (BMH), where a decision was made to fly him to the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) in Charleston for additional treatment. On Vanita Drive deputies and investigators met with potential witnesses, processed the scene and secured evidence. On Donaldson Camp Road where deputies and investigators met with the other man involved, he said he left the scene and drove there in order to safely call 911. The handgun believed used in the shooting was recovered from his vehicle at that time. He too was treated by EMS and transported to BMH for head lacerations he sustained during the physical encounter with the man who ultimately was shot. Investigators are still looking into the circumstances surrounding the incident. No one has been charged as of yet. There is no update on the condition of the man flown to MUSC for the gunshot wound to his neck, but the man that sustained head lacerations was treated and released from BMH. Additional information will be released when available. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Sgt. Adam Disbrow at 843-255-3407 or CrimeStoppers at 1-888-CrimeSC to remain anonymous and for a possible reward.

Alcohol program minors Accidents cause problems targets For the eighth year, an “enforcement and edon Robert Smalls Parkway ucation blitz” coordinated by the The Burton Fire District responded to two separate motor vehicle accidents on May 11 on Robert Smalls Parkway, causing traffic delays and one driver being transported to the hospital. The first wreck was reported in front of Stokes Toyota on Robert Smalls Parkway just before noon yesterday. The two-vehicle accident, involving a passenger vehicle and pickup truck, caused minor damage and traffic delays. Burton firefighters assisted the drivers, however no injuries were reported. The second accident was reported just before 11 p.m. in the 800 block of Robert Smalls Parkway also involving a passenger vehicle and a pickup truck. Both vehicles were damaged and one driver transported with what appeared to be non-life threatening injuries. One lane of Robert Smalls Parkway was blocked for approximately 30 minutes while firefighters assisted the injured driver and removed roadway hazards. The Burton Fire District has responded to 122 motor vehicle accidents in 2017; 31 of those accidents have occurred on Robert Smalls Parkway and 24 have occurred on Parris Island Gateway.

S.C. Department of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Services (DAODAS) has helped focus attention on the dangers of underage alcohol use. Through the statewide campaign, South Carolina’s Alcohol Enforcement Teams (AETs) and prevention professionals collaborate on activities aimed at limiting access to alcohol by young people under the age of 21. The increased enforcement and public education efforts promote a safe end to the school year and a safe prom season. The campaign – called “Out of Their Hands” – emphasizes that it is against the law for anyone under 21 to purchase, possess, or consume alcoholic beverages. The campaign, which ran April 1-30, resulted in 13 party-dispersal operations; 175 traffic stops; 528 casual contacts; 660 compliance checks; 149 on-premise bar checks; and 25 public safety checkpoints. The various operations led to 301 cases of charges being filed. In addition to the law enforcement activities, 88 “media activities” were held at high schools and middle schools, colleges, public forums, community events, civic groups, beach rentals, lodging establishments, retail alcohol outlets, and other retail locations.

The Burton Fire District responded to a vehicle accident on May 11 at the intersection of Parris Island Gateway and Cypress Street during high traffic times, causing traffic delays and injuring one. Just before 3:30 p.m., the Burton Fire District responded to a two-vehicle accident at the intersection of Parris Island Gateway and Cypress Street in the Shell Point area of Port Royal. One driver was transported to Beaufort Memorial Hospital with what appeared to be nonlife threatening injuries. Both lanes of Parris Island Gateway by Cypress Road were blocked for approximately 30 minutes while emergency crews assisted the injured driver and removed roadway hazards.

Burton and Sheldon firefighters extinguish a slow moving brush fire which was caused by an unattended burning trash pile on May 10 on Jacob Lane in Burton. Just past 8 p.m., the Burton Fire District was dispatched to what was originally believed to be a house fire on Jacob Lane in Burton. Callers initially described a possible trailer on fire. Firefighters arrived to what was actually a slow-moving quarter-acre brush fire. Burton firefighters extinguished the fire using approximately 1,000 gallons of water and required assistance from the Sheldon Fire District due to the lack of hydrants in the Seabrook area. The fire was caused by an unattended burning trash pile on the side of the road. No injuries were reported. It is illegal to burn trash in Beaufort County and the fire is under investigation.

Plastic surgeon offers free seminar on fat reduction procedure
Pinnacle Plastic Surgery and Pure Medical Spa will host a free seminar from 5-7 p.m. Tuesday, May 23, to discuss non-surgical procedures to help you get in shape for the season. Board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Audrey Klenke, and her team of professionals recently began offering a fat reduction procedure using the UltraShape Power technology, the first and only FDA-approved non-surgical procedure that uses focused ultrasound energy to target fat cells and eliminate them naturally. “There is finally an effective non-surgical procedure that destroys stubborn fat with-
out the downtime,” said Klenke. “Other fat reduction procedures heat or freeze fat, which can damage the surrounding skin, nerves and blood vessels. This technology, on the other hand, erases Dr. Audrey fat naturally without the Klenke side effects.” Pinnacle's Jennifer Burks, APRN, CNM, and PURE Medical Spa’s licensed esthetician, Sheree Tuttle, will also be on hand to share the science behind this ultrasound fat destroying technology and offer complimentary consultations. The event, which will be held at the offices of Pinnacle Plastic Surgery and Pure Medical Spa in Sheridan Park, Bluffton, is free and open to the public, but space is limited. RSVP by calling 843-815-6699 or by visiting PureMedSpaMD.com.

TIDE CHART
It is not up to us as humans to control people, circumstances, life in general, and by letting go of this practiced trait, we open ourselves up to releasing ego and handing us faith in spirit to work the magic we are here to do. Hold on to your hats, because when control is surrendered, the ride is incredible! I wonder, how many out-dated beliefs do we hold on to? Beliefs that were taught to us by others through the years, ones we pass on to the next generation. Striving for perfection, at all costs, no matter how detrimental our behavior becomes as we trick ourselves into thinking we constantly have to do better, be better, look better, work harder. Perfection is an illusion, one that keeps us unhappy and unwilling to look at the positive and good actions we HAVE accomplished. It’s much more attractive to be approving and accepting of the gifts we’ve been given and understand that who we are is a gift of beauty and it is enough. Let old beliefs whisk away in the wind, and let us cut ourselves the break we deserve, while being who we are, doing things the way we love to do it. Let go and let our heart and soul soar into being exactly who we are meant to be. Creating boundaries is a part of self-care. We have a right to set boundaries and insist on keeping them in place when others disrespect them by pushing and prodding us rinto doing things we do not wish to partake in, whether it be setting hours that are for work, or for our time alone, to setting boundaries for others expectations of you. If you do not have boundaries set in place

Boundaries are imperative, and at times it may be necessary to go within and ask ourselves who is actually crossing the line. Is it others, or is it our own ego pushing us to cross our boundaries to gain recognition, martyrdom, and feel needed? Take the time to let go of anything creating a conflict between ourselves and boundaries, and we will set ourselves free. Those are just a few instances of letting go of ways to bring amazing new light into our lives. Learning to let go of the things that are resonating with you will free up energy and you will begin to reap the benefits of a grateful, happy life. Letting go is a process, blended with us willing to do the work. How deeply we dig is totally up to us and can only be done by us alone. This is our path and nobody else’s. Repaint your canvas today, rewrite your story, reward yourself with true joy.

I often hear people giving what they consider sage advice. “Just let it go, you’ll feel so much better.” Wise words that are much easier said than done. Words that give me pause, as I visualize a tiny hand holding tightly to the string attached to their precious balloon. One slip of the thumb, and off it goes up, up and away. If letting go were only quite that simple. How tightly we cling to our beliefs, judgments, angers and stressors. Holding on for dear life, as if these outdated feelings and statements will leave us wobbly and uncentered should we release them with one slip of our thumb. Some, frantically running after that balloon to catch it, only to bring it securely back against their bodies. Over the past few years, I have diligently been working on letting go of things that

A new fire station on Robert Smalls Parkway has been approved by the the Beaufort City Council and Port Royal Town Council and the facility is expected to become operational in early 2018. The station is being built near Robert Smalls Parkway and Castle Rock Road. The municipalities will lease the property and the new fire station, which will be delivered as a turn-key project ready for fire trucks, equipment and firefighters, said Beaufort-Port Royal Fire Chief Reece Bertholf. “With our new ISO 1 fire rating, and with input from International City/County Managers Association’s Center for Public Safety Management, we are well-prepared and well-positioned to provide emergency services across Beaufort and Port Royal, and to our growing service areas,” Bertholf said. The councils approved a 30-year lease for the property and fire station, including all equipment that’s not vehicles or personnel equipment, Port Royal Town Manager Van Willis said.

Penn Center named as success story
To mark the 30th anniversary of the America’s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places list and how it has been a catalyst for the preservation of threatened historic sites around the country, the National Trust is issuing a retrospective list culled from the nearly 300 sites named to the program since its inception. The 2017 list highlights 11 once-endangered sites, including Penn Center (formerly Penn School), that are now thriving and contributing to their communities, while also focusing attention on the efforts undertaken to bring them back from the brink. Penn School appeared on the 11 Most Endangered list two years in a row in both 1990 and 1991. “As the site of one of the first schools for freed slaves, Penn Center sheds light on the contributions and stories of African-American communities that have been overlooked within the traditional boundaries of historic preservation and education history,” said Stephanie Meeks, president of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. “Beyond its historic significance, Penn Center’s current role as a catalyst for economic sustainability — through its service as a local, national and international resource center for community self-sufficiency, civil and human rights, and positive change — highlights the potential of adaptive reuse solutions in the South.” Penn Center, founded in 1862 as Penn School, a central component of the Port Royal Experiment, was one of the first schools in the South for formerly enslaved West Africans. For over a half-century, the center has recognized that African Americans on St. Helena and along the Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor — established by Congress in 2006 — have managed to keep their special identity, language, religious customs and African cultural heritage more than any other group of black Americans.

BUSINESS
Know yourself when you begin investing A 2016 Gallup poll showed the number of Americans who owned stock matching the all-time low previously hit in 2013. After peaking at 65 percent in 2007, the percentage of us who said we were invested in stocks was down to only a little more than half (52 percent) last year. For those younger than 35, the figure dropped to less than 40 percent (down from more than 50 percent). There are probably a number of reasons for this decline, including fear of the markets following the Great Recession. While it’s true that the stock market has experienced volatility, it’s also been a helpful tool for building wealth over the long term. Of course, past performance is no guarantee of future results. If you’re among those who’ve turned your back on stocks, you may be thinking it’s time to get back into the market – or invest for the first time. If so, a good place to begin is by determining what type of investor you are. Go solo or get help? If you’re a do-it-yourself (DIY) investor or have little money to start with, you may want to consider online investing. It makes
trading relatively easy and inexpensive. However, you may not have the time or confidence in your ability to choose the right investments, which are likely to include other investments Whitney besides stocks. If that’s McDaniel the case, you may want to turn to a professional advisor. The first thing you should expect is for him or her to get to know you and understand your long-term goals, such as enjoying a financially secure retirement or helping your children or grandchildren afford higher education. Beginning with that information, your advisor should work with you create an investment plan designed to help you achieve those goals. At the heart of that plan will be a recommended asset allocation, which is nothing more than how your portfolio should be divided up among different types of investments, typically stocks, bonds, and cash alternatives.
Determine your style There’s more than one way to work with an advisor, and you need to decide which one you’re more comfortable with. If you want to be the ultimate decision-maker, you may choose to collaborate with your advisor. In this case, he or she will contact you with recommendations, and it will be up to you to decide whether to follow them. With this type of relationship, you’ll likely pay commissions on your transactions. On the other hand, you may prefer to take a hands-off approach and simply delegate the management of your investments. If you choose this, you will: • Not be consulted prior to transactions being executed in your account; • Probably be charged a fee based on a percentage of your account’s value rather than paying commissions; Choose your advisor wisely Finding the right advisor is an important decision. You may want to start by talking with friends and relatives whose opinions you respect. If they are working with someone they like, do your own research on them.
After all, just because someone is a good fit for your mom or Uncle Charlie doesn’t necessarily mean they’re right for you. After you have names of three or four prospective advisors, see what you can find out about them online. That may help narrow your choices. Then talk with them on the phone and schedule appointments to meet with the two who seem most promising. In the end, you may have to “go with your gut” to decide which one to go with. This may seem like quite a bit of work, but when your ability to reach your financial goals is at stake, it’s likely to be worth it.

After 10 public meetings, the task force submitted 12 recommendations for proposed ordinances. City staffers will draft the ordinances and submit them to the Beaufort-Port Royal Metropolitan Planning Commission for consideration. The task force’s March report noted, “We hope that (Beaufort City) Council and the public will recognize that short term rental in residential neighborhoods is a new and rapidly evolving phenomenon, and that predictions on what the impact will be are difficult to make.” The task force also advised that “the current system should not be structured so that every proposal for a short term rental turns into a contest about whether short term rentals are a good or bad idea. … We strongly urge that council set a policy that is administered and enforced by staff. The present “approval by exception” method of zoning board review can lead to rearguing the desirability of short term rentals over and over for each application. We believe this is inefficient and unhealthy for the community.” The task force’s recommendations included: • Each rental must have a contact person
(freshman), Thomas Holladay (freshman). Girls soccer In the girls championship game, two players accounted for the Lady Eagles' three goals. Senior Amanda Kahn netted two of Beaufort Academy's three goals in the state championship-clinching victory. Mary Keane scored Beaufort Academy's other goal. Keane netted her goal prior to leaving the game with an injury. John Paul II, a longtime rival for the Eagles, battled Beaufort Academy throughout the girls' high school soccer match. Veteran head coach Dave Byrne guided the Eagles to the 2017 state girls' soccer championship. The Beaufort Academy girls' soccer team claimed its first state title since 2013. In 17 seasons, Byrne has guided the Eagles to three state championships. To make it to the championship game, Beaufort Academy blanked Conway Christian 7-0 in the semifinals of the SCISA Class A Girls' Soccer Soccer Tournament on May 9. Several Beaufort Academy players provided a lift on the offensive end as the Eagles prevailed. The Eagles moved ahead early and never faltered. Beaufort Academy owned a comfortable 6-0 lead at halftime. Beaufort Academy then advanced to meet John Paul II in the title game at Porter-Gaud School in Charleston. that can respond to the city or the guests within three hours. • Occupancy is limited to two people per bedroom. • No more than one car per bedroom. Vehicles must be parked on a driveway, not in yards, on grass or in the street. The task force also recommended that short-term rentals be limited to no more than 8 percent of the total lots in a neighborhood. Given there is little data on shortterm rentals, the percentage was a guesstimate, Keyserling said. “I assume it was because it was more than 5 percent and less than 10,” Keyserling said. “The biggest threat was changing the character of a neighborhood,” Keyserling said. The task force also recommends that the city submit an annual report on short-term rentals to ensure no unforeseen problems have arisen and to review whether the ordinances are working as intended. The task force emphasized that shortterm rentals are good for the community because they draw a new type of tourist who prefers that type of lodging. Many are potential future residents that want to try out a residential setting. They noted that they heard no concerns from hoteliers. “These are small businesses. As people restore old homes and use rentals to pay for it, it helps the entire neighborhood,” Keyserling said.

AN IN-DEPTH LOOK AT THE PEOPLE & EVENTS THAT SHAPE OUR COMMUNITY
Beaufort native takes on the By Michael Staton

11th ANNUAL BEAUFORT RIVER SWIM SATURDAY JUNE 10, 2017
Elizabeth Rhodes says she’s interested in everything, from the humanities to health care, so it’s a good bet she would have excelled no matter which path of study she decided to pursue. Luckily for the sociology, anthropology and criminal justice department and Clemson University’s College of Behavioral, Social and Health Sciences, the Beaufort native decided to walk down a path that took her more often than not through Brackett Hall. Anthropology majors know Brackett Hall well, and Rhodes is the first in the history of Clemson to win the Norris Medal, which honors one graduating senior who exemplifies the best qualities in a Clemson scholar. For someone who undoubtedly had a prompt, correct response to most questions posed to her throughout her college career, Rhodes found her own response to the news a little lacking. “I was on the phone with my dad and I actually just couldn’t talk,” Rhodes said, laughing. “He just told me to read the whole letter over the phone, and then we both had trouble coming up with any words. All he could say was, ‘Wow.’ It was a great Monday.” Rhodes’ interest in so many subjects found her torn between the humanities and science throughout her first two years at Clemson, but it only took one anthropology class to sell her on the major. She sees anthropology as a bridge between the arts and science, as it concerns itself with using science to answer questions that define humanity. Katherine Weisensee, interim chair of the sociology, anthropology and criminal justice department, nominated Rhodes for the Norris Medal in part because of the work ethic, critical thinking skills and focus she displayed in that first anthropology class, qualities that only continued as she delved deeper into the major. At one point, Rhodes found herself studying forensic anthropology, anatomy and physiology in a single academic year, and that combination reaffirmed that she had made the right call in her course of study. “Many students are drawn to certain topics among the wide variety in anthropology, but Eliza excelled at them all,” Weisensee said. “She was able to effortlessly identify connections between the many different facets of anthropology as well as her other classes and pursuits throughout her college career.” Outside of class, Rhodes’ time is often spent on books and podcasts
detailing trends and diseases across hundreds of thousands of years of human history. That’s her leisure reading. She describes herself as “enthralled” by the concept of viewing health care from the “zoomed-out perspective” that an anthropological lens allows. While her major allowed her to “zoom out,” her time as a volunteer on the Joseph F. Sullivan Center’s mobile health clinic certainly allowed her to hone in on public health concerns involving populations across the Upstate. As a Spanish minor, Rhodes was a valuable addition to the Sullivan Center team as it worked to bring medical care and education to migrant farm workers and marginalized communities. She discovered a passion for bringing health care to different cultures, and her studies in anthropology helped her to better frame these experiences. Michael LeMahieu, an associate professor in Clemson’s English department, also nominated Rhodes for the Norris Medal and has known Rhodes since she was a senior in high school. He isn’t surprised to find Rhodes pulling on strengths in so many seemingly disparate areas to excel in an activity like public health outreach. LeMahieu said he has witnessed Rhodes quickly gain the confidence to do so over the course of her time at Clemson. “It’s been a joy to watch Eliza grow into her talents and gain that confidence,” LeMahieu said. “At a certain point, I think she began to realize that her interests and talents couldn’t be contained by or expressed in just one area. Her career aspirations remained the same — she knew she wanted to be a physician — but she realized there was more than one path that would take her there.” Because of her experience at Clemson, Rhodes sees herself as uniquely positioned to bring a different perspective to her studies when she begins medical school at the Medical University of South Carolina in the fall. However, her time at Clemson has also taught her to come into the experience with an open mind. “Considering I was a bioengineering major who never even considered medical school when I started at Clemson, I kind of did a 180-degree turn when it came to my focus,” Rhodes said. “I know my interests will guide me once I get started.” Rhodes was also nominated by John Coggeshall, a professor in Clemson’s sociology, anthropology and criminal justice department.

Battery Creek to get aerospace program
Six South Carolina high school students, including those at Battery Creek High School in Beaufort, will have access to aerospace engineering classes beginning in fall. The aerospace curriculum was formally recommended to the South Carolina Department of Education by SC Aerospace - an
industry cluster supported by the South Carolina Council on Competitiveness and the South Carolina Department of Commerce. “Talent development is a top priority for our industry,” said James Stephens, chairman of the SC Aerospace Education Working Group and executive director of the South Carolina Aeronautics Commission. “This curriculum is a great fit for South Carolina’s aerospace industry in particular because it is multi-disciplinary. Students learn aerospace engineering principles and written and oral communication skills through presenting their projects to industry representatives.” The courses are designed to appeal to students who are curious about the design and flight of aircraft and spacecraft vehicles. The curriculum consists of four courses: fundamentals of aerospace technology, advanced aerospace technology, aeronautics engineering application and astronautics engineering applications. Each school implementing the aerospace curriculum this fall will receive $50,000 from the SC Department of Education to help cover the startup costs involved with the course offerings.
State approves Polaris Tech Charter

The school’s ultimate goal is to prepare all students for college, career, and life. “This is an amazing step toward helping the young people of Jasper County find new futures,” said retired Gen. Lloyd “Fig” Newton, a member of the Polaris Steering Committee and native son of Jasper County. Polaris Tech is scheduled to open in summer 2018 for 160 middle and high school students. Organizers continue to examine facility options across Jasper County and decisions are expected soon.

Two district initiatives – one focusing on student artists and the other focusing on a special group of student athletes – will highlight the next “Our Schools” television program, which began airing May 12 on the County Channel. “River of Words” is an annual collection of art and poetry by Beaufort County School District students, and for the first time, this year’s book will be sold to the public online via Amazon and Barnes and Noble.” Appearing with Superintendent Jeff Moss to explore “River of Words” will be Project Coordinator Heather Brabham, Robert Smalls International Academy art teacher Dara Ramey and Julianna Vega, a fifth-grader at Hilton Head Island School for the Creative Arts. The school district has dramatically expanded its partnership with Special Olympics, which coordinates athletic competitions involving student athletes with disabilities. Guests appearing with Moss during that segment of the new “Our Schools” will be Gregory McCord, the district’s Chief Auxiliary Services Officer; Herbert Glaze, dean of students at Beaufort High School; and Kathy Cramer, area co-director for Special Olympics. “Our Schools” is a partnership between the school district and the County Channel. The new edition of “Our Schools” will air four times weekly: at 8:30 p.m. Mondays, 11:30 a.m. Thursdays, 8:30 p.m. Fridays and 11:30 a.m. Saturdays. The broadcast will air on local cable networks: Comcast’s Channel 2, Hargray’s channels 9 and 113, and Spectrum Channel 63. The show also will air at those times on

VOICES
Bridge tender faces busy days ahead You may not be aware of the green house sitting above you as you drive over the Wood’s Memorial Bridge. In that office sits Natasha, one of our bridge tenders. We drivers below are oblivious of her most of the time; only vaguely aware that someone must open that bridge. However, for Natasha, spring is an especially busy season as the snowbird migration has begun. Beaufort is a great stopover for boat owners as they travel up the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. They can buy provisions, visit our town and then spend the night at anchor or at the marina. But in the morning, about 8:30 or so, the boats start to stir and the boat tender’s VHF radio starts to crackle. “Lady’s Island Swing Bridge, Lady’s Island Swing Bridge, sailboat approaching from the south requesting an opening.” Now you might ask, “Why not the Wood’s Bridge?”
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 recently moved to St. Helena Island with her husband and two cocker spaniels. She enjoys boating, traveling and reading.
Beaufort is a great stopover for boat owners as they travel up the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. They can buy provisions, visit our town and then spend the night at anchor or at the marina. Well, in the nautical world, our bridge is identified as the Lady’s Island Swing Bridge. The bridge tender will acknowledge the boater and provide them the time she will open. She will also ask the name of the boat and the hailing port. Evidently, they keep a log of the boats that go through, along with
the name of the boat’s hailing port. Recently, I had the opportunity to speak to Natasha. She is one of those friendly people with a smile in her voice. It must be a job requisite because I have found it in numerous other bridge tenders I have encountered through the years. She gave me insight to her
job, but the most important to us on land is the times of the openings and closings. Up in the green house, a boat will call her. At the scheduled time, Natasha she will turn on the traffic signals, set the alarms, lower the gates and open the bridge. She records the boats and when they are all clear, will close the bridge again. Most boaters will say something like, “Thanks for the opening.” and the bridge tender will respond. “Safe travels, captain.” It is a little different with commercial traffic. They can request an opening at any time. So, don’t get mad at Natasha and the other bridge tenders. They are just following the rules. As it turns out, these bridges are slowly going away. They are being replaced with 65-foot high bridges to accommodate auto traffic and allow boats to go under without disrupting a whole community. But for the time being, we boaters rely on Natasha and her co-workers to open our bridge when needed. “Thank you, Lady’s Island Swing Bridge.”
Zoning that is unique to Lady’s Island By Jim Hicks
Lady’s Island was the first area of Beaufort County to implement the concept of Community Preservation zoning that was authorized by the 1997 Beaufort County Comprehensive Plan. The rational for allowing certain areas that possessed unique qualities such as Lady’s Island, St. Helena and the Dale community to develop zoning that was specific to their community was to protect those unique qualities. On Lady’s Island a committee of community representatives was formed and for over a year, on a weekly basis, held public and individual meetings with members of the community, property owners and business representatives. From the information derived from these meetings and with the guidance of a Beaufort County Planning Department represen-
tative, the present day Lady’s Island Community Preservation zoning was developed and approved by County Council in 1999. Following are examples of some of the types of zoning that were developed specifically for Lady’s Island with a specific purpose in mind. • Expanded Home Business (the property along the four-lane portion of Sams Point Road). This zoning was designed to allow the existing homes in this area to be used for low intensity commercial businesses such as business offices and medical practices. It has been a success in that many homes which were near the end of their practical life as rental units have been purchased, renovated and today serve commercial purposes. • Professional Office District (non-residential property adjacent to Lady’s Island Drive). The capability of Lady’s Island Drive and the McTeer Bridge to handle traffic was
a concern in 1999 at which time there were only two lanes on each of them. In response to this concern, the Professional Office District zoning was designed to limit commercial development to those types businesses such as banks, churches and offices which would generate minimal traffic and traffic interruption. Even though today Lady’s Island Drive has been widened to four lanes and another two-lane span added to the bridge, increased traffic volume and congestion continues to be a valid concern on this key corridor. • Rural Business District (Property on the right side of Sea Island Parkway coming from Chowan Creek to Hayward Drive (Airport Tire) in the Eustis Community). This zoning was developed with the specific purpose of protecting or legalizing those businesses in the rural area which had existed prior to the adoption of the Comprehen-
sive Plan and with its adoption were made nonconforming. It also established specific types of businesses that could be established in rural areas. To date it has worked well, although with the arrival of the new Walmart the city of Beaufort is faced with the question of allowing “commercial creep” along Sea Island Parkway from the store to Chowan Creek. Each of the above listed types of zoning was developed for Lady’s Island with a specific overall purpose in mind and to date has served the island well. The city of Beaufort does not have zoning which matches the characteristics of each of these unique types of zoning but in most cases does have a similar type of zoning which will hopefully ensure similar long term results in the event of future annexation. Jim Hicks is the past chairman of the Beaufort County Planning Commission.

WINE
Crackling, sparkling wines make for warm weather imbibing In the world of sparkling wines, there are several levels of quality and many sources for different styles. One detail of sparkling wines that we haven't covered much is the various degrees of sparkling that are made. Not all sparkling wines are as sparkling as the others. That means that some have more bubbles than others. And it's done on purpose. Champagne and traditional method sparkling wines have bubbles that are made, in the bottle, from a second fermentation. The CO2 that is a byproduct of the second fermentation, is trapped in the sealed bottles and, with time, absorbed into the wine. Less expensive wines can be made with a secondary fermentation done in a sealed tank. Then, the wine is bottled under pressure to preserve the bubbles. Even less expensive sparkling wine is gassed. Wines are placed in sealed tanks, a hose of CO2 is placed below the surface of the wine and bubbles are shot into the wine. The quality of the wines and the size of their bubbles are partly how we judge them. Beyond these basic methods, though, are others. Minimally sparkling wines can be made by stopping the first fermentation and bottling the wine. Then, when the first (alcoholic) fermentation finishes in the bottle, the CO2 byproduct is caught and held inside. But, the amount of CO2 is less, so the quantity of bubbles in the wine is smaller. Despite the fact that we've been trained to look for a lot of bubbles, there are advantages to having fewer. These wines are younger and fresher because they have only had one fermentation. And, they are less filling as we drink them. Truth be known, Champagne and good sparkling wines will never be replaced. It's just sometimes that not-so-intense flavors and gasses are lighter and more refreshing. These wines with less effervescence do have a name: Pétillant. (Pétillant translated from French means crackling and sparkling.) A bottle of Champagne, or a sparkling wine made by the same process, has about 75
pounds of pressure per square inch in it, roughly two times a car tire. Most crémant wines have about 35 pounds per square inch. Pétillant wines drop by about half again. Not a flat tire, but not a full one Celia Strong either. Hence, there is less full feeling and less burbing. Is it easier to drink more of? Definitely. Our pétillant comes from the Penedès region of Spain, which makes it a Cava - the Spanish wine law name for bubbly wines from this region. Ninety percent of all the wines labeled "Cava" come from Penedès. The word "cava" means "cellar" and refers to the place and the length of time needed for a second fermentation. The main grape varieties for Cavas are Macabeo, Xarel-lo and Parellada. Our Cava Pétillant comes from Avinyó, a family-owned winery with almost 100 acres of their own vines. They specialize in using the three main varieites for Cavas. And, they emphasize using estate grown grapes, which is very rare for Cavas. Their Pétillant is made from 80 percent Petit Gran Muscat (a distant relation to Moscato) and 20 percent Macabeo (also known as Viura which makes white Rioja wines). The vines are up to 50 years old. At Avinyó, they call their Pétillant "vi d'agulla," the local dialect for "prickly." The grapes are fermented in stainless steel and the bubbles come from a short second tank fermentation. It has bright almond and honeysuckle aromas with lemon peel flavors, a faint brininess and a stunning acidity. It is very dry and balanced in your mouth. And, note the bottle seal! This is a wine for all seasons, but especially warm weather. For $11.99. Enjoy. Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island
