DeVito focused

By Mindy Lucas About 30 people attended a forum held for Republican candidates vying for the 1st Congressional District seat currently occupied by Rep. Joe Cunningham (D-Charleston), at Palmetto Electric Cooperative in Hardeeville, on Wednesday, Nov. 6.

Hosted by Rachel Wisnefski, president of the Greater Bluffton Republican Club, the forum included a two-minute introduction before candi-

dates took turns answering questions.

Here in the order of their introduction on Wednesday, those candidates included:

Chris Cox Founder of Bikers for Trump, Chris Cox said he got the nickname “the Lawnmower Man” after mowing the grass and taking out trash at the Lincoln Memorial during the government shutdown of 2013.

He also said some of those in attendance might not have liked President Trump at first but because Chris of their 401Ks Cox and other promises kept, they’re “on board now.” He said if elected he would leverage relationships he already has in Washington, D.C. including the relationship he has with Trump.

Nancy Mace Widely known as the first woman to graduate from The Citadel, Nancy Mace said she attended the military colNancy lege to prove Mace something to herself and to be challenged.

Port Royal’s new mayor will work to keep the town ‘Cool, Coastal, Far from Ordinary’

T

he day after Tuesday’s election, Port Royal’s new mayor Joe DeVito was doing what he normally does on Wednesdays – having coffee.

Started by former town councilman Joe Lee years ago, the regular coffee klatch still meets with residents or anyone who wants to talk about, well, whatever is on their minds.

“It was a good discussion like it always is,” said DeVito.

Between coffee, picking up campaign signs, working his regular job and waiting for the elecJoe tion results to DeVito be ratified on Thursday, it’s been a whirlwind of a week, DeVito said.

Macdonald Marketplace named one of “South’s Best Shops” by Southern Living In the November 2019 issue of Southern Living magazine, Frogmore’s Macdonald Marketplace was named one of the South’s Best Shops in South Carolina.

The essence of Lowcountry living is displayed in vignettes of local artisans’ creative genius.

“This mention in America’s favorite lifestyle magazine is quite the honor for us, a tribute to our consigners who help us create the

ever-changing displays and options for those looking for unique items that represent life in the Lowcountry,” co-owner Caroline Hatcher said in a release.

The eclectic collection of unique items, from original paintings of the salt marsh and the sea shore to antique dishes, hand-crafted tobacco baskets, Bloody Mary Mix made from locally-grown tomatoes, and a 100-label wine shop procured by

Robert Mondavi.

The historic building, boasting original single-paned beveled windows and stunning 300-yearold reclaimed wooden floors, was built by James Ross Macdonald in 1877. It quickly became the center of Frogmore’s social and business activity as the corner store.

It was only recently purchased by members of the Sanders family, descendants of Macdonald, who

rehabilitated the building, making every effort to preserve its historic integrity and beauty. The Sanders opened Macdonald Marketplace in late 2016, continuing the corner-store legacy and becoming a favorite local or destination shopping experience.

Macdonald Marketplace is located at 853 Sea Island Parkway, St. Helena Island and is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Three wrecks in three days for Burton Fire District; two serious

In a three-day period, the Burton Fire District responded to three motor vehicle collisions, two of which were serious, and one that resulted in serious injury.

On Tuesday, Nov. 5, at approximately 8 a.m., the Burton Fire District and Beaufort County EMS responded to a reported motor vehicle collision on Trask Parkway by Laurel Bay Road involving a tractor trailer and a Honda Civic. Fire crews arrived on the scene and reported heavy

damages to both vehicles.

Two occupants were in-

jured in this collision which also resulted in a significant

oil leak. Traffic was delayed for more than an hour and a half while emergency crews assisted the injured and cleared the roadway.

On Thursday, Nov. 7, just before 7:30 a.m., again on Trask Parkway, Burton and EMS personnel responded to a two-vehicle collision. One occupant sustained what appeared to be minor injuries.

Later that same day, just after 1:30 p.m., Burton fire crews and EMS personnel responded to an ATV accident

by the Habersham development off Cherokee Farms Road. Firefighters arrived to find a female, who was not wearing a helmet at the time, with serious injures after her ATV ran into a ditch.

The Burton Fire District has responded to more than 263 motor vehicle collisions so far in 2019, with 62 pecent of those collisions resulting in injuries, and in 10 of those incidents, Burton firefighters had to rescue occupants that were trapped inside their vehicles.

State Fire Marshal Jonathan Jones urges South Carolinians to be safe as temperatures drop

As the temperature drops, South Carolinians tend to turn on space heaters or enjoy the warmth from a fireplace. With that in mind, State Fire Marshal Jonathan Jones is urging citizens to be especially careful as this time of year is historically dangerous for residential fires and fire deaths.

“Each season brings with it changes in the weather and our daily habits,” Jones said in a release. “However, the risk of fire always increases any time heaters are turned on and fireplaces are in use. As such, we need to remain vigilant about fire safety, especially since our statistics reveal more home fires occur during the winter months than during any other part of the year.”

During last year’s winter months, there were 29 fatal fires resulting in 33 fire deaths in South Carolina. Ten of those fatalities, or 30 percent, were heating related.

South Carolinians can reduce their risks of becoming a fire casualty by identifying potential hazards. Jones offers the following tips to keep homes and families safe this winter season.

• Only use kerosene heaters and space heaters according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Inspect the heater for cracked or broken plugs. If frayed, worn, or damaged, do not use the heater.

• Keep the unit on a flat surface at least three feet away from anything that can burn. Use this “three feet rule” and don’t let pets or children play too close to the heater.

• Never leave heaters unattended.

• Refuel a kerosene heater outdoors.

• Always plug the space heater directly into the wall, not an extension cord or power strip; unplug when not in use.

• Don’t use either to dry wet clothing.

• Heating pads and electric blankets also pose a fire risk – especially if more than 10-years old. Don’t place anything on top of either one while in use – this includes other blankets or pets. Never fold electric blankets or use while sleeping.

• Portable generators, commonly used in the winter as a result of storm-induced power outag-

es, produce odorless and deadly carbon monoxide. Follow manufacturer’s instructions to prevent death from carbon monoxide. Never use a generator indoors.

• Be careful when using candles and keep them out of reach of children and pets. Since it is an open flame, never use a candle if oxygen is used in the home. Use sturdy candle holders and extinguish upon leaving a room or going to sleep.

• Since they are much safer to use than candles, have flashlights ready to use in case of a power outage.

• Make sure the fireplace has a sturdy screen to stop sparks from flying into the room. Only burn seasoned and dried wood. During the upcoming holiday season, avoid hanging decorations around the fireplace area. Never burn wrapping paper in a fireplace; it burns too fast and hot to be controlled.

Wait until ashes are cool before putting them in a metal container.

Keep the container a safe distance away from your home. Never put

ashes in a cardboard box or bag.

• Chimneys should be cleaned and inspected every year by a qualified professional. If not, they can become filled with highly flammable layers of creosote.

• Do not use the kitchen stove or oven to heat the home. Neither are designed to heat large areas, and the element may fail causing a fire. Never leave food cooking on the stove unattended.

Smoke alarms should be installed on every level of the home – inside and outside of sleeping areas. Also, sleep with the bedroom door closed.

Closing the door can increase your chance for survival by slowing the spread of fire and smoke.

“Every second counts when escaping a fire,” Jones said. “Take a few minutes to test and check your smoke alarms. If any of the alarms are more than 10-years old, they need to be replaced.”

Lastly, if there is a fire emergency, call 911 as soon as possible and remain outdoors. Never return inside a burning building for any reason.

Port Royal voters elect DeVito mayor, Ashmore and Phillips to town council

By Mindy Lucas In an election that drew about 21 percent of the total number of registered voters in Port Royal, voters chose Joe DeVito for its new mayor.

DeVito, who challenged Mayor Pro-Temp Mary Beth Gray-Heyward for the seat, won by 22 votes.

A retired utility manager with BJWSA, DeVito finished with 521 votes, or 50.98 percent of the count, while Gray-Heyward, finished with 499 votes, or 48.83 percent, according to the county’s unofficial results.

In the town council race incumbent Jerry Ashmore kept his seat while newcomer Kevin Phillips beat out incumbent Robert Landrum. Unofficial results showed Ashmore with 646 votes, Phillips with 618 votes and Landrum with 508 votes.

Results were certified on Thursday, Nov. 7.

Royal from the Chicago area of Illinois, Schmit said she felt it was important, as a new resident, to get out and vote.

She’d also met town council candidate Kevin Phillips recently at the town’s Octoberfest celebration and was impressed enough by what he

had to say there to vote for him on Tuesday.

She was also in favor of a $345 million school bond referendum which would fund safety improvements and technology upgrades and the construction and renovation of new facilities.

“I have three children of my own, so I’m all for improving the schools,” she said.

Meanwhile inside Town Hall, the

vote count had just reached 425 votes by 3:30.

“It’s been a steady flow all day,” said poll worker Lisa Allen.

While the numbers certainly couldn’t compare to years with presidential elections, it was still refreshing to see people turn out, she said.

“And it’s been nice for everyone to see the new machines.”

The new machines, which include a paper ballot, seem to be a hit, particularly with older voters who liked the bright screens.

“They are vibrant and the print is nice and big,” she said.

Farther down Paris Avenue, Ashmore and DeVito, who would go on to win their races, could be seen waving signs and shaking hands with those passing by.

The candidates had been up campaigning since just after 6 a.m,. they said. Yard signs for all the candidates and the bond referendum could be seen on both sides of the street.

“This is as grassroots as it gets,” said Ashmore.

Beaufort County schools win big at polls

Voters overwhelmingly pass 1st bond referendum in 11 years

By Mindy Lucas Beaufort County schools were among the biggest winners Tuesday night as nearly 70 percent of voters approved a two-part measure to approve $345 million in additional funding for schools.

“This is the largest bond referendum in our district’s history, and its approval by such a large margin represents a strong show of support for our 22,000 students and their futures,” Superintendent Frank Rodriguez said in a news release issued the day after the election.

Here is a breakdown of the two ballot initiatives and how the money will be spent: • $290 million in safety and security upgrades at all district schools; technology infrastructure upgrades at schools district-wide;

additions at River Ridge Academy and May River High; a replacement building for Robert Smalls International Academy; and renovations at three schools (Beaufort Elementary, Hilton Head Island Middle and Battery Creek High).

• $54 million in Career and Technology Education expansions at Battery Creek and May River high schools; design work for renovations at Hilton Head Island High; improvements to athletic facilities at district middle and high schools; and playground improvements at early childhood centers, elementary and PreK-8 schools.

Rodriguez went on to detail which projects would be start-

ed first, and said the school district would work in “a straightforward and transparent fashion.”

“Our job now is to demonstrate to voters that their vote of confidence was deserved,” he said. “We have to complete these important projects on budget, and we have to do that in a straightforward and transparent fashion.”

Among those first steps: • The Board of Education will select a financial adviser to guide the district in issuing the first bonds approved by the referendum.

• An independent citizen-led committee of community volunteers will be selected to monitor the expenditures of all referendum-related funds.

• A new website will allow

parents and community members to track the progress of all referendum projects and review regular reports from the independent monitoring committee.

The first projects set in motion will be additions at River Ridge Academy and May Riv-

er High School because initial planning and design work has already been completed, according to district Chief Operations Officer Robert Oetting.

Construction on those two projects will begin as soon as bond referendum funding is available, Oetting said.

Once construction begins, the estimated time of completion will be 10 months for the River Ridge Academy addition and 16 months for the May River High addition.

All of the projects were included in a comprehensive list of facilities needs identified earlier this year by an independent committee of county residents. Members of the Community Project Review Committee (CPRC) visited 26 schools in Beaufort and other districts and received presentations from outside

experts before producing the district-wide projects list.

CPRC members also received presentations from a safety and security consulting firm, a demographer, four architectural consultants, the Town of Bluffton, a playground equipment vendor, a furniture vendor and district staff.

After the CPRC identified $629 million in district-wide facilities needs, the Beaufort County Board of Education specified $344 million in projects for voters to consider in the referendum.

Rodriguez said growing school districts generally need to approve a bond referendum every four to five years to accommodate increasing enrollment and preserve existing facilities. Beaufort County’s last successful bond referendum was 11 years ago.

To fry or bake? Burton fire officials hope to settle the turkey debate It’s the time of year when families, sometimes heatedly, debate whether to fry or bake the turkey.

Burton officials hope to help safely settle the debate.

Burton fire officials stress that safety should be the basis of every plan, especially during the colder-holiday months which are statistically the most dangerous, and particularly when Thanksgiving is the leading day for cooking fires in the U.S. “This is the time of year we bring vegetation into our home, string it all with lighted wires, and cook large amounts of food,” Burton Community Support Officer Daniel Byrne said.

“Add to that the stress and chaos of the holidays, which leads to rushing around and other distractions, and you have a receipt for a preventable disaster.”

Mayor

Longtime mayor Sam Murray decided to step down after serving six terms.

Originally from New York, DeVito moved to Port Royal 33 years ago after visiting family in the area.

“We fell in love with Beaufort,” he said.

Sixth months later, he and his wife, Dawn, bought their house on Westvine Drive where they raised two boys, now adults, and have lived in the house ever since.

A master plumber by trade, DeVito first worked for a local plumber after moving to the Lowcountry. He then landed

While at the Beaufort Water Authority, DeVito saw the merger with the Jasper County Water Authority and, during the late 90s and into the new millennium, the addition of other municipal water services including the City of Beaufort, City of Hardeeville and Town of Port Royal.

Eventually, DeVito became Director of Operations for the BJWSA. During this time, DeVito also became involved with municipal planning and services, working on both Port Royal’s and Beaufort’s Development Review Team then serving as chairman for the Beaufort–Port Royal Planning

Commission.

He also served on the Northern Beaufort County Regional Plan Implementation Committee, as president of Friends of the Spanish Moss Trail and vice-chair on the county’s transportation tax committee and most recently as its treasurer.

During the campaign, key issues for him were traffic and safety, sidewalks or making Port Royal more pedestrian friendly.

Now that he has been elected mayor, his focus on these issues won’t change, he said.

“When you’re talking about these issues, nothing happens fast,” he said. “These are difficult things to implement because there are multiple jurisdictions.”

In addition to working with

the National Fire Protection Association statistic showing an almost 250 percent increase in overall cooking fires on Thanksgiving.

Of particular concern, is turkey frying.

“The leading cause of fires involving turkey frying is overflow or splashing of the oil, or a leak or malfunction of the propane or burner,” Byrne said. “When that occurs and cooking is taking place too close to the house, or in the garage, or under an overhang, the fire spreads quickly.”

Byrne states that information on how to safely fry a turkey is readily available on the Internet, but Burton officials stress while planning to fry a turkey, the first step is to make sure you can even safely do so by ensuring that you have:

state and local entities on traffic management he wants to also continue building on Port Royal’s pedestrian-friendly vibe.

“To do that it has to feel safe,” he said. “We have to make these roads safe for cars, pedestrians and bicycles and to attract business to the area.”

Port Royal is already working on the issue, he said, through a traffic study and “a very good traffic engineer.”

The key, he said, is understanding the data and how to implement what it says.

Another issue he is passionate about? Connecting Port Royal to the Spanish Moss Trail across Ribaut Road. As he said when he was campaigning, residents could see construction starting toward

• A flat non-wooden surface area a minimum of 10 feet from the home; • An ABC dry chemical fire extinguisher less than five years old within reach; • A propane tank and hose line that has been checked for leaks and proper seals; • An established safety zone five feet around cooking area for pets and children; • A person dedicated to monitor the cooking continuously; • A cell phone handy to call 911 immediately.

“Turkey fires are explosive and can spread rapidly,” said Byrne.

“Never use water to put them out and call 911 immediately, no matter how controllable it may initially appear to be.”

this goal, within a year.

“It would be an amazing economic boost to Port Royal,” he said. “People come from all over to the use that trail.”

And as far as some of the bigger challenges that could be facing Port Royal such as the development of the port or how to best manage the town’s shrimp docks, DeVito remains undaunted.

“Taking on a challenge is something I’m not afraid to do,” he said, adding that ultimately, he is a public servant and intends to keep that in mind and rely on his depth of knowledge and experience from serving on various boards and planning commissions when moving forward.

“The shrimp docks and port are difficult to separate because they’re both on the

same property and they’re both tied together on the master plan,” he said, adding that it could be that a solution to both might come in one fell swoop.

“But it’s too early for me to say what that is,” he said. “And we don’t want to act too fast.

We need to move expeditiously, because we need to be able to look ahead and say, ‘Are we even going to like this 20 years from now?’ ” In the end, DeVito said he’ll be embracing the town’s motto – “Cool. Coastal. Far from Ordinary.”

“Does it enhance that or does it restrict that?” he said he’ll ask himself when making decisions. “We must always be enhancing that.”

DeVito will be sworn in as Port Royal’s mayor on Dec. 11.

Mace has worked in financial services and is a real estate agent who specializes in commercial property. In 2018, she was elected to the S.C. House of Representatives, representing Berkeley and Charleston Counties, and is now in her second term.

Brad Mole The latest contender to throw his hat into the ring, Brad Mole said attending a recent boot camp in Washington D.C., part of Tim Scott’s Empower America Project, Brad renewed his Mole passion for the Republican party and for serving the community.

A self-described community development leader and “preacher’s kid,” Mole has served as vice chairman of the Lowcountry Affordable Housing Coalition. He has also managed two rural, rideshare systems in Allendale and Bamberg and is a former business owner. His wife served in the Navy and the two still have deep ties to the military community, he said.

Kathy Landing Originally from New Orleans, Kathy Landing said it was her parents, raised during the Great Depression, who instilled in her the values of honesty, inKathy tegrity, self-reLanding liance, being

thrifty and working hard.

Landing decided to start her own investment business over 34 years ago and has worked in financial planning ever since. She was elected to Mount Pleasant’s town council in 2017 and said she hopes to bring her “finance, communications, diplomacy and problem solving” skills to the task.

Mike Covert Mike Covert started his introduction by saying it wasn’t about him and that he is the only candidate who will say, “I want your vote. I want to serve you.”

An entrepreneur who started his own HVAC business, Covert Aire, Covert is currently a Beaufort County Councilman. When it comes to healthcare, he considers himself a “free market guy.” He wants to limit the federal government’s involvement in business and give the power back to the Mike states. He said Covert he would work to change the tax system to a flat and “fair” tax system, and that when it comes to immigration, there is a process that everyone needs to follow.

Over a nearly two-hour period, the candidates answered about a half dozen questions on such issues as revamping the federal tax code to how to shore up social security.

On what specific suggestions candidates have for reducing spending in Washington: Cox said veterans needed to be taken care of as well as single parents – single fathers as well as single mothers. He also said for the five of them, as candidates, to think they could be elected to the House and reform healthcare or have a program that would reduce

Photos by Bob Sofaly. the deficit is a “pipe dream.” “… You’re going to have to make and build relationships before you’re taken seriously enough to do things like that,” he said. “I would like to … use the relationships that I have to take care of things right now.”

Mace said with a $19 trillion debt, we cannot continue spending the way we’re spending now. She said the impeachment inquiry is preventing anything from getting done in Washington, and while people are reluctant to make cuts but that “every single agency” could afford to make cuts.

She supports the penny plan, a plan … that supporters say would balance the budget in five years.

“And this is why it’s so important for each and everyone of you who are active, to help us win this seat back, because if we can win the majority back we can get back to doing the business of the Congress.”

Mole said he would look to see what programs are overlapping in services and what programs aren’t working.

“We find out what’s working and what’s not working in our homes, and it’s the same thing in D.C.,” he said.

Landing said in order to cut spending you first had to have a budget. She suggested taking a look at the Simpson-Bowles plan, a bipartisan deficit reduction plan proposed in 2010 and also referred to the U.S. Government and Accountability Office (GAO)’s annual report on reducing redundancy of programs and waste as “low hanging fruit” place to start cutting.

She also suggested shoring up Social Security and working to refinance the interest on the national debt among other financial measures.

Covert said reducing spending is going to take an “incredible approach of a long time” and teamwork as well as looking at the constitution to make sure the federal government is doing what the framers set out for it to do.

“I think we all agree that there are a lot of programs, a lot of departments, a lot of stuff that the federal government shouldn’t be doing,” he said.

On the Second Amendment: Covert said he looks to what the Constitution says about the Second Amendment. “We

have a right to keep and bear arms. That’s it. Period. We have that right,” he said.

He went on to say that Democrats who say the streets are going to be “overrun with AK47s and howitzers” are using “hyperbole just to get you excited.”

“The AR-15 is not a mass killing machine. I have two,” he said.

Landing said she was “definitely pro-Second Amendment” and has a concealed weapons permit (CWP) and is a member of the National Rifle Association. She said it was important to enforce the laws that are already on the books.

“I have a lot of concern right now about people going overboard to control what is happening because of fear,” she said.

Mole said the country doesn’t need to create new gun laws in order to solve what he believes are social issues that “don’t have anything to do with guns.”

He said he wants to push for legislation that would honor the CWP issued in one state, honored in other states.

Mace said she believes in the Second Amendment “as

it is written.” She owns three guns, she said, and said that gun control does not work because “criminals aren’t going to follow the law,” register their guns, or “give back their bullets.”

She is pushing for a single crime database that would share information across all law enforcement agencies on those who have been flagged by a background check.

“This is something I’m working on and it’s going to be part of my message in the general election,” she said.

“What will work, what can help prevent crime that does not infringe on somebody’s right to bear arms.”

Cox said he is definitely pro-Second Amendment. “It takes a good guy to take down a bad guy,” he said.

He also said when it came to red flag laws, or laws that authorize courts to issue orders allowing police to temporarily confiscate firearms from people who are deemed to be a danger to themselves or to others, there was no “due process” so he is against those.

n the eye of the storm living with a mental illness without a formal diagnosis or treatment is a scary and confusing time.

Although she first starting experiencing symptoms when she was in 8th grade, Emily Vairo didn’t learn she had Bipolar I Disorder until several years later at the age of 22. She explains that she suffered in silence for a long time unsure what her suicide ideation and depression actually meant.

In the summer of 2015 Emily went through some of the classic symptoms of mania: excessive energy, irritability, grandiose ideas, losing touch with reality, hyper sexuality, and racing thoughts.

At first the people in her life thought she was “faking it”, but after the official diagnosis everyone quickly became concerned with her safety, health, and figuring out the best way to move forward.

Thankfully Emily has a strong support system of family, friends, NAMI, and medical professionals. Emily recognizes the important role she plays and that in actuality she is the only one with the capability to hurt her recovery through actions of self-sabotage. In taking a proactive

“Aware and Unashamed” for the NAMI Walks.

From there she became more involved with her advocacy through NAMI as a facilitator for the Connection’s meetings, secretary of The Recovery Council, and a speaker for “Ending the Silence” presentations at local high schools. Her perseverance and strength of character did not go unnoticed as she received the 2019 NAMI S.C. “Recovery Member of the Year” award.

These days Emily has a level of self-awareness she didn’t have before, a much better understanding of her needs.

This in turn has created more empathy towards others, not just those in recovery like her.

Without Emily’s knowledge of her illness she might still feel that sense of being empty and alone, she might not even be here today. Her story isn’t one of perfection or being a model citizen in recovery because she still has her struggles, but she works vigilantly to maintain a certain level of stability.

She lives by the NAMI Principal of Support “Never Give up Hope.”

Laura Kaponer is a mental health advocate and blogger, as well as a volunteer with the local chapter of NAMI. You can find her on social media by searching #Laurakaponeris1in5.

role she has found a variety of healthy ways to manage her systems through yoga, cycling, cooking, journaling, music, photography, and remaining medication compliant.

Another choice she made for her health and wellness was to abstain from alcohol from the point of her diagnosis more than four years ago; it was because of medical advice she was given as to the adverse effects alcohol would have on her symptoms and medications.

Although she had challenges earlier on in her recovery, her first triumph came about seven months after diagnosis when she began working again. She admits it wasn’t easy to gain the confidence to put herself out there.

In her recovery she not only found herself again, but gained a passion for mental health advocacy. Emily began attending NAMI Connection’s meetings after publishing her story and leading a team

FOOD WINE & DINE

Los Carneros a perfect choice for over the holidays

W

ines and their stories can be so much fun. As good as a wine is, a good story to go with it somehow makes it better.

Not technically, of course, but better nonetheless. In fact, the story is part of what makes the wine what it is.

It’s a personal thing.

Sometimes, with luck, there’s more than one story for a wine. Like today.

Los Carneros (or just Carneros for short) is an AVA in California that covers the southern portion of both Napa and Sonoma counties.

(Los Carneros means the rams and refers to the herds of sheep and rams that were raised in the area before the land became more valuable for vineyards.)

The AVA is about 90 square miles. It was established in 1983, with amendments in 1987 and 2006. The location of Carneros means it is close to cool fog and breezes from the San Pablo Bay. Its climate is cooler and more moderate than the more northern parts of Napa and Sonoma. And the breez-

CELIA STRONG

es off this bay make it the windiest AVA in either Napa or Sonoma.

When it got its AVA status, Carneros was the first California AVA to be created based on its climate characteristics, not political issues. A pretty new idea for American wines at that time.

Because it does have a cooler climate, the best varieties for Carneros vineyards are early ripening ones.

Particularly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

The history of grape growing in Carneros goes back decades before 1983.

In 1942, Louis M Martini bought the old Stanley Ranch and replanted it.

There were more than 13,000 acres of vineyards by the 1970s.

The area’s reputation for quality Chardonnays

and Pinot Noirs, the two main grapes of French Champagnes, was noticed by several Champagne and sparkling wine producers, including Moët & Chandon (Domaine Chandon), Taittinger (Domaine Carneros), G H Mumm (Mumm Napa), Cordoníu and Gloria Ferrer.

Plus, in the 1980s, with the surge in popularity of good quality California Chardonnays, there more plantings to raise production quantities.

There are about three dozen wineries in Carneros.

Carneros Chardonnay wines are marked by high acidity, which brings great balance and complexity to the wines. Especially when these grapes are blended with the fatter, rounder Chardonnay from other sites in Napa and Sonoma.

In addition, Carneros Chardonnay have heightened aromatics, freshness and remarkable varietal character. Plus, aromas and flavors that include toasted brioche, baking spices, candied lemon rind, subtle toasted oak, melons, baked pears, yellow apples, all in a creamy and full bodied wine.

Emblem Carneros Chardonnay comes from the Michael Mondavi family of wines. The Emblem label is one of several that this famous wine family has developed.

Robert Mondavi, Jr and his sister Dina Mondavi are the grandchildren of Robert, Sr. The two collaborated to produce, first, the Emblem Cabernet. Because the Mondavi name and Napa Cabernet wines are linked together forever.

And, then, the Emblem Carneros Chardonnay. For this Chardonnay, whole clusters of grapes are crushed before a 24-hour

cold soak. The must is fermented in oak barrels, at cool temperatures to control the fermentation.

(Longer, cooler fermenting makes more fruit flavors in the wine.) In the barrels, the wine is stirred once a week, giving it more contact with its lees. This adds complexities and a fuller mouth-feel. Before it’s bottled, the wine is aged for 10 months.

This Chardonnay is a great one to learn Carneros style and flavors. Its aromas and flavors typical of the AVA but also way beyond. Stone fruits like apricots and peaches. Yel-

low cherries. Crisp tropical fruits like melons, mangos, guava, and starfruit.

It has toffee and caramel notes. Good acidity and minerality. Freshness and crispness. A tanginess. It’s one of those wines that just shows itself to be one of the best of what it is. Full, multidimensional, loaded with flavors and textures.

An absolute pleasure to taste and drink. And, a perfect choice for Chardonnay over the holidays. But they only make 500 cases a year.

Yikes. Go rams! For $31.97 at Bill’s Liquors.

“Rise and Walk!”

Jesus Forgives Sins

A paralyzed man is lowered through a roof!

Hoping for a cure, four men carry their friend on a stretcher to see Jesus. When they arrive at the house where Jesus is, they are unable to enter due to the crowd. Undeterred, the men climb onto the flat roof of the house, remove the ceiling tiles, and lower their friend before Jesus. “And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, ‘My son, your sins are forgiven.’”

The crowd is astonished at these words of Jesus.

In the Jewish understanding, only God can forgive sins, since sins are offenses against God. By claiming authority to forgive sins, Jesus is acting as if he were the one true God. This is a serious act of blasphemy, a sin punishable by death in the Jewish law. Accordingly, members of the crowd begin to ask, “Why does this man speak thus? It is blasphemy!

Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

The crowd understands that Jesus is acting as if he were God. If this was not his intention, we would expect Jesus to clear up the misunderstanding. Instead, he goes further, asking, “Why do you question thus in your hearts? Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise, take up your pallet and walk’? But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins,” he said to the paralyzed man, “I say to you, rise, take up your stretcher and go home.”

Will the paralytic rise and walk again?

Jesus intends to show that he, the Son of Man, does indeed have authority to forgive sins. Anyone can utter words of forgiveness, but not just anyone can cause a paralytic to be instantly healed. To show he can heal invisible wounds of the soul, he will bring about a visible healing of the body. And to everyone’s astonishment, the paralytic immediately rose, picked up the stretcher, and walked away in front www.thebeaufortsound.com of them all! They were all amazed and praised God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!” (Mark 2:1-12) Jesus is gently inviting his listeners to believe in him.

He cannot simply walk around and exclaim to everyone, “I am God!” This would have led to people immediately rejecting him and seeking his death for blasphemy. Instead, in a careful and indirect manner, Jesus helps them see that he is able to forgive sins, even though this is something only God can do. He is inviting them to come to the unimaginable conclusion: Jesus can forgive sins because he is actually God standing in their midst.

Jesus came to bring us forgiveness and union with God. The paralytic’s friends want a physical healing, but Jesus offers a gift that is much more important. Paralysis keeps their friend from walking, but sin keeps their friend from eternal union with God. Jesus sought to bring about reconciliation between humanity and God. The people of his day desperately needed forgiveness for their sins and union with God, and we still need this spiritual healing today.

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

B1

Cummings sweeps silver, solidifies Olympic bid

By Justin Jarrett For once, CJ Cummings didn’t capture gold. But he virtually guaranteed his spot in the 2020 Olympic Games.

Beaufort’s weightlifting wunderkind swept silver in a head-to-head showdown with Venezuela’s Julio Mayora on Sunday at the IWF Grand Prix in Lima, Peru.

The 19-year-old Cummings and the 23-year-old Mayora quickly separated themselves from the pack and engaged in a chess match across their six lifts, with each daring the other to

put more weight on the bar.

Mayora forced the issue in the final round of the snatch, successfully lifting 154kg to force Cummings to make a run at breaking his own junior world record with a 155kg attempt.

He missed.

The clean and jerk followed the same narrative, as the duo played a cat and mouse game in their first two lifts, with Cummings hitting 187 on his second attempt and Mayora following with 188.

Cummings made another run

at his own junior world record in his final attempt but missed at 194, while Mayora missed his try at 192 but still claimed gold and swept the competition.

The two young stars of the weightlifting world embraced one another’s hands and lifted them high while standing on the podium after a great battle of strength. Cummings, the only junior in the competition, enjoyed the back and forth.

“For the most part, me and (Mayora) were calm, but it was like a

battle of the coaches,” Cummings told weightlifting website BarBend.

“They were strategizing on what they were going do, so I mean it was intense, but at the same time it was calm. So it was pretty cool.“ Despite falling short this weekend, Cummings is ranked second in the world in the 73kg weight class and almost guaranteed a spot in the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. Now he can take a break from the busy competition schedule and begin preparing for his biggest stage yet.

“This year, my coach told me going in that I was going to be competing a lot because with me being a Junior and competing at so many competitions, that was to get the Robi points up, that’s why I was traveling this place and that place all year,” Cummings explains. “But now I can relax.

I know all I have is the Junior Worlds next year, and that’s the only competition before the Olympics.”

Smyth named Freshman of the Week

Eagles ready for playoff run After an unexpected week off, Beaufort High is ready to begin the postseason.

The Eagles will host Hartsville in a second-round game in the Class 4A playoffs Friday, as they aim for a fifth consecutive victory following an 0-5 start.

Beaufort’s remarkable turnaround has been built on an option attack led by junior Daniel Phares, who took over after quarterback Tyler

Haley was lost for the season to a shoulder injury, and running back James Dagin.

The Eagles’ defense also has shown steady improvement, as three freshman starters have grown up over the course of the season and the run defense in particular has stabilized.

Continuing that trend will be critical to the Eagles’ success, because the Red Foxes (8-3) have a powerful ground game led by Darian

McMillan and quarterback Owen Taylor.

“They’re just a really well coached football team,” Beaufort coach Bryce Lybrand said.

“They are big and physical. Three great linebackers and a couple of skill kids that can really run. The QB is a good football player.”

The winner advances to face either Brookland-Cayce or Wilson in the third round.

Whale Branch Warriors grind down Ironhorses Whale Branch roared into the second round of the Class 2A playoffs with a 3610 win at Philip Simmons on Friday.

Jaylen Reeves rushed for 203 yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries, and Joseph Hicks added 68

yards and two TDs on 13 carries to lead the Warriors’ strong ground game. Jadon Grant added 82 yards on 16 carries, and JacQuez Frazier had 55 yards on nine attempts as Whale Branch rolled up 438 total yards — all on the ground.

Hicks staked the Warriors to a 14-0 halftime lead with two short touchdown runs, and Cliffton Major added a 3-yard TD in the third quarter to make it 210. Reeves added two TD runs of 25 and 32 yards in the fourth quarter to help

Whale Branch pull away.

The Warriors’ defense was outstanding, allowing only five first downs as the Ironhorses’ scoring came on a field goal and a kickoff return touchdown.

Whale Branch (7-3) will host Oceanside Collegiate

for a second-round matchup Friday. The Landsharks went undefeated in the regular-season but were forced to forfeit four games — including two region games — for using ineligible players, dropping them to the No. 4 seed.

Former Beaufort High multi-sport standout Jeffrey Smyth is enjoying an outstanding freshman season at Presbyterian College, and it just got even better.

Smyth was named the Big South Conference Freshman of the Week after anchoring the Blue Hose defense in a 24-14 win over Jeffrey Gardner-Webb Smyth on Saturday.

The defensive back had a career-high 13 tackles, along with his first career interception, to help the Blue Hose hold the Bulldogs to 278 total yards and shut them out in the second half.

Smyth ranks fourth on the team with 50 tackles in 10 games this season, and he ranks third on the squad with 5.5 tackles for loss. His 5.0 tackles per game are the second-most among Big South freshmen.

Dolphins downed in playoff opener

Battery Creek bowed out in the first round of the Class 3A playoffs Friday with a 44-14 loss at Strom Thurmond.

The ninth-ranked Rebels raced out to a 30-0 halftime lead and made it 37-0 in the third quarter before Tre Booth and Jacove Anderson scored rushing touchdowns for the Dolphins. Brandon Wilson scored a two-point conversion for Battery Creek.

Battery Creek finishes the season with a 3-6 record.

Eagles sweep individual titles at Lower State cross country qualifier Beaufort High’s boys had the top three finishers, and the Eagles’ Shannon Smith claimed the girls title, but Hilton Head High swept the team titles at the Class 4A Lower State cross country qualifier Saturday in Darlington.

Beaufort’s Nash Mills (16:42), Maxwell Davis (16:49), and Marlon Belden

(16:52) were the first three runners across the line in the 5K boys race, but the Seahawks’ depth carried them to the team crown.

With all five scoring runners finishing in the top 16, the Seahawks finished with 54 points to easily outpace runner-up AC Flora (85) and third-place Beaufort (87).

Bluffton (232) was 10th in the 18-team field. The top nine teams advance to the Class 4A state championships Saturday in Camden.

Charlie Bennett (30th, 18:26) and Connor Eby (51st, 19:14) rounded out the scoring for the Eagles.

Beaufort County runners claimed the top four places,

and three local teams qualified for the state championships on the girls side.

Hilton Head High ran away with the team title, while Smith led Beaufort High to a third-place finish with a 5K time of 19:29. Bluffton finished eighth in the 14-team field to claim one of nine team berths in the state meet.

The Bra Project raises more than $5,000 for DragonBoat Beaufort

Pinnacle Medical Group recently presented $5,140 to representatives of DragonBoat Beaufort, a local nonprofit that benefits breast cancer survivors in the Lowcountry.

The donation was raised from Pinnacle Medical Group’s fifth annual “The Bra Project,” a competition that featured one-of-a-kind bras created by students from Hilton Head Island High School, May River High School and

Bluffton High School.

The bras were featured at the second annual Bras & Bubbly, a charity event hosted

by Pinnacle Medical Group designed to rally together the community to raise awareness and funds to support local breast cancer survivors.

The event also celebrated the work of local artists who contributed pieces inspired by their own personal stories.

All proceeds raised from Bras & Bubbly ticket sales and

the silent auction were donated to DragonBoat Beaufort to assist in their goal of helping cancer patients who live, work or receive treatment in the Lowcountry. A local commercial construction firm, The Dewitt Tilton Group, also contributed $1,000 to the project.

“We’re always thrilled to host The Bra Project, and we’re thankful to be a part of such a dedicated community that cares about wom-

en’s health and breast cancer awareness as much as we do,” Dr. Audrey Klenke, plastic surgeon and principal of Pinnacle Medical Group, said in a release. “Thank you to all who attended Bras & Bubbly and a special thank you to the students and artists who came together to create a stellar event. This year, we raised more this year than all the other four years combined and we are so excited to see what next year brings.”

Golf pro benefits veterans with 251-hole golf marathon

Flag-lined streets honoring American veterans helped ushered in some special guests Monday morning, injured veterans who came out to support Dataw Island’s Assistant Golf Pro, Chris Fearn, in his one-man golf marathon.

Teeing off at 3:30 a.m., Fearn played an astounding 251 holes of golf before sun-down, all in the name of raising funds for veterans,

through Tee It Up for the Troops, the beneficiary organization.

“It really is motivating to look over and see these guys here supporting me,” Fearn said. “I’m always so humbled for the opportunity to serve them in return for all they have done for us.”

Last year, Fearn was able to complete 227 holes, a feat that seemed unbeatable. Starting

even earlier this year and playing with glow-in-the-dark balls and the lights shines by golf carts and flashlights, Fearn was determined to top his record. To keep it manageable pre-dawn, Fearn played holes No. 1 and No. 2 of the Morgan River repeatedly in the dark.

“I have to admit,” Fearn said, “Waking up at 2:45 a.m. and knowing that I'm about to

play golf for 14 hours straight, with the first three-plus hours in the dark, is a little daunting, but it's still a lot of fun since I know it’s for a great cause.”

Members and supporters pledged their choice of a perhole amount or a flat amount, with the per-hole promises serving to encourage Fearn even more to complete as many holes as his body and daylight would allow. Each

birdie and eagle he made also increased the take, so playing fast and accurately were both goals. His 251 holes included a remarkable 42 birdies and two eagles.

“Having members and veterans there cheering me on is really what keeps me going,” he said. “Although it takes me a few days to recover afterwards, it’s a small sacrifice that I’m happy to make in

the make of Tee It Up for the Troops.”

“The entire event last year from my marathon, guest bartending, raffles, selling hats, and the event on Tuesday raised just over $70,000 – which is a huge record at Dataw. The goal is for us to beat that every year.”

The Dataw Island Golf Pro Shop is accepting donations through the end the week.

NOVEMBER 14 - 20, 2019

VOICES

I’m hoping I’m forgiven after all these years I t’s Sunday night, late, and I’m with my former college roommate Bill Stansbury. Right at the moment we’re in the midst of 70,000 souls who are celebrating the Baltimore Ravens — a football team that has just defeated the New England Patriots, 37-20.

“Buff” Stansbury and I have known each other since August of 1963, when we both took up residence in Law Barracks at The Citadel.

We have remained friends for 56 years.

During those 56 years he has never, ever, asked me for a favor. Never, that is, until Aug. 4, 2019, when he called and said, “Do you think Zach could get us tickets to the Ravens-Patriots game on Nov. 2?”

He explained that this would be an important game and there were no tickets anywhere at any reasonable price.

“I can’t get you tickets, Dad,

SCOTT GRABER

but I can get you credentials,” my son replied when I asked.

“Credentials?”

“Yeah, that will get you anywhere in the stadium you want to go.”

When I called and told Buff we had “all access credentials,” all I could hear was “Oh My God!” repeated over and over until I finally hung up the phone.

For most of my Citadel career I was not much of a cadet. Buff, who would eventually become India Company Commander, helped me survive SMI — Saturday Morning Inspection and countless other regulatory encounters.

“Jesus, Scott, do you really think those shoes are going pass muster?”

Whereupon he would spit on them, apply a bit of polish in circular movement, and hand them back in the manner of one handling a dead scorpion. In this fashion Buff took care of me until I figured out the system and decided I wanted to stay at the Military College.

During our last year we roomed together, although he was a cadet captain and I was a cadet private.

“What branch are you going to choose?” he asked me one night.

“I don’t want Infantry, that’s for sure,” I replied.

“Then you won’t ever be Chief of Staff,” he said.

“You can bet your last dollar that I will never, ever, darken the C-Ring at the Pentagon,” I replied. “What about Intelligence?”

“Army Intelligence?”

“Yeah, we’ll be in a bunker,

an air-conditioned bunker, mostly looking at aerial photographs,” I said.

“Are you sure about that?’’

“About what?”

“The air-conditioning.”

“Yeah, we’ll look at photographs all day. Then, in the evening, we’ll go to the Officer’s Club and dance with the nurses from the field hospital.”

On the strength of this conversation we both signed up and in due course both were given commissions in Army Intelligence. Buff went directly to Vietnamese language school in Texas. I deferred my own departure to Southeast Asia by going to law school.

Then I learned — to my horror — that he was attached to a Vietnamese unit in I Corps just below the DMZ. His unit was tasked with gathering-up prisoners by taking a ‘blocking position’ while a larger force did a sweeping maneuver.

This maneuver put Buff

into the middle of some hard, desperate fighting. It was not an activity that involved bunkers, or air conditioning, or flirting with nurses at the officer’s club.

I was at George Washington having comfortable, climate controlled instruction in torts and contracts; and somewhat less comfortable debates about the morality of the war. But every night, sober or not, I would fall on my knees and say, “Let him live, Lord. If you’re going to take anyone tonight, take me Lord.”

I remember going to class praying that Buff would survive the nightly fire-fights and would return healthy and whole, and I would be able to properly apologize for getting him into the thick of the shooting.

Buff did survive the shooting. He came back uninjured, undiminished and our friendship resumed with shared holidays, road trips

and a telephone conversation every other week. But I never got round to an apology.

If I had scripted tonight’s game it would have started with a tour of the broadcast trucks; then an hour on the field watching the adrenaline-charged football players warm up.

Then we would have gone to the press box buffet and had crab cakes, brownies and watched (on a monitor) a Baltimore defensive back recover a fumble and run it back 50 yards. If I had scripted the evening it would have been a well played, hard-fought game with Baltimore pulling ahead in the fourth quarter.

I didn’t write any of that narrative, but it unfolded in precisely that manner.

And by the look on Buff’s face I think maybe I’ve been forgiven.

Climate change and invasive species: make positive change in your own backyard

By David Coyle

“A mixture of rotting fish and semen.”

T

hat’s the description given to the scent of Bradford pear blossoms by Business Insider (https://www.businessinsider.com/bradford-pear-treesemen-sex-smell-2013-4).

These white flowered trees commonly line many streets in the eastern U.S. Some think this tree is pretty, and I won’t argue that point. But have you ever smelled the flowers?

They have a pungent scent, to say the least. And, as the Bradford pear is a non-native tree, it has the capacity to “go rogue” (where it’s called the callery pear) and now many roadsides and old fields are covered in

white flowers every spring.

Can you imagine the scent? Ew. The problem is, these invasive species take up space where native trees would otherwise grow. And, almost nothing eats callery pear. If you like birds, this is important – many birds feed on caterpillars, and if caterpillars aren’t eating the callery pear, then every pretty white tree you see in spring represents space where a bird can’t eat.

In fact, studies have shown fewer birds where more non-native trees are planted.

Now I know, invasive species and climate change are two topics that elicit a wide range of feelings, attitudes, and responses.

They’re always in the news, they’re present everywhere, and they’re huge issues from an economic, ecological, and

social standpoint.

And it’s easy to project blame on the perceived responsible parties or groups for our country’s current situation with both issues.

It’s also easy to adopt a “woe is me, what can one person do about climate change” or “how can I help reverse the impacts of invasive species”?

Well, you can. And while you may not see immediate changes, it’s sort of like the children’s book “How Full is Your Bucket” – every drop matters, and over time, they add up and create a positive change.

The first step is acknowledging what’s happening.

Invasive species are happening. Here in the Lowcountry, we have laurel wilt killing off bay trees all over the place.

A tiny green beetle called the emerald ash borer is wip-

ing out ash trees throughout the eastern part of the continent. And, before that, Dutch elm disease wiped out elms across eastern North America. Before that, chestnut blight.

The list of past and present invasive species goes on.

One thing invasive species have in common is that they kill things – after all, the definition of an invasive species is something that’s not native to the area (i.e. was introduced, usually unintentionally), displaces (i.e. takes the place of) native species, and causes economic or ecological damage.

And climate change is happening.

Now, I’m not getting into the causes of climate change (as that’s an entirely separate editorial) but the data are plentiful, legitimate, and overwhelming – our world

is changing. We’re seeing rising waters, increasing inconsistency in weather patterns, and increasing temperatures.

Do you enjoy clean air and water? Pretty flowers and lots of birds? Healthy forests and green trees on the street?

If so, you should be concerned with invasive species and climate change.

We can all do things in our own backyards that make positive impacts on both invasive species and climate change.

Why both? Because these issues do not exist in a bubble – climate change impacts invasive species.

So, what can you do?

Believe it or not, there are several impactful things we can all do. First, you’re a consumer, so speak with your wallet. Support local

causes, local businesses, local foods. Local products are far less likely to introduce invasive species into America than are things produced in other parts of the world.

Second, speak with your voice. Learn candidates’ positions on invasive species issues, on clean energy, on environmental causes – talk to your member of Congress and vote. Without federal action we won’t be able to address this challenge in the way we need to.

One person can’t save the world (sorry, there is no Superman).

But what we can all do is create a little better place where we are. If everyone makes their little slice of the world just a bit better, then drop by drop, positive change will happen.

I am embracing decorating in the Lowcountry

A

t a recent coffee gathering with several women, the topic of decorating our homes for Christmas came up. That is when two of the women started to talk about the house they were going to decorate for the “Beaufort Homes for the Holidays” event.

Now I did not say anything, but my first thought was “Why, in heaven’s name,

Now what?

highlighting daily life observations

Not that I am a Scrooge, but I have enough problems dragging out my own decorations.

Then they started to explain all the things they were doing. These two women are very creative, and I was intrigued by the details they were going through to make this home a standout at the event.

Of the seven homes on the tour, five of them are historic HIGH /LOW

and the house they were assigned is one of the five.

So, their intention was to decorate the house, keeping in mind its historic significance coupled with Lowcountry ambiance.

First, they described the oyster shell garlands they had made.

My northern brain could not equate oyster shells with Christmas decorations, but again, I was quiet.

They described the washing and bleaching process, and then, after drying, getting a friend to punch holes in the shells.

Next came the twine. They placed the twine through the oyster shell holes and made garlands. Some of the shells they had spray painted a silvery glow to be used as accents.

My brain started to kick into gear as to what they

were doing.

Then they talked about the greenery they were collecting for decorating.

It included magnolia tree leaves, pine cones, and palm fronds.

They did admit to having some small non-historic electric lights to help illuminate the home also.

It was while we were chatting that a local arborist, who overheard our discussion, suggested that they could use okra to decorate.

“How in the world would you use okra?” I asked.

She said to take a large vase and fill it with Pink Muhly grass then place a large flowering okra plant in the center. The flower resembles a hibiscus.

She said it makes a beautiful Lowcountry centerpiece.

As I sat there listening, I realized that it was time I

embrace some of this Lowcountry decorating.

Afterward, I pulled up the website for the Beaufort Homes for the Holidays and saw pictures from previous years. Decorators used items like Peacock feathers, candles, and Poinsettias. There were also pictures of old train sets, wooden reindeer, and lanterns all mixed in with Lowcountry greenery.

Now I must go see those seven houses on the tour.

After all, if I cannot come up with ideas for my house, at least I can use some of theirs.
