COVERING BEAUFORT COUNTY

Controversial development to be topic at meeting Staff reports

Whitehall, a new development that could include apartments, commercial buildings and an independent living facility on Lady’s Island, will be discussed at a highly-anticipated meeting.

The Metropolitan Planning Commission (MPC), representing Beaufort County, the City of Beaufort and the Town of Port Royal, will discuss plans for Whitehall at 5:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 13, at Council Chambers in City Hall at 1911 Boundary St. in Beaufort.

The meeting is open to the public.

More than 150 people showed up

The Whitehall property is at the foot of the Woods Memorial Bridge. Photo provided.

for the earlier-scheduled meeting on Whitehall which was postponed

due to lack of a quorum.

The 19-acre highly visible parcel

at the foot of the Woods Memorial Bridge has been a source of contention as locals have expressed concerns about traffic, trees, the environment and the development in general.

An “illustrative master plan” has been presented to officials, and briefings on the plan have been provided to the Sea Island Coalition and Coastal Conservation League, two organizations that have been highly active in monitoring the development.

The developers will review the plan before the MPC Monday and are asking for special zoning clas-

sification that would increase the permitted density for the Whitehall property, according to the Sea Island Coalition.

The plan provides for a mix of commercial/retail space along the Sea Island Parkway, with apartments and an independent living facility in the interior of the property.

MidCity Real Estate Partners, of Atlanta, owns the property but will develop it with Sam Levin of Beaufort and partners in a new Whitehall Development Group.

Dataw goes above, beyond, honoring veterans

By Laura McCarty

There are always special events in the Beaufort area to salute our veterans, but Dataw Island stands out.

The community doesn't just honor veterans for a day, but rather for a whole week with a variety of ceremonies and fundraisers for veterans' causes.

Veterans and supporters gathered around the flag in honor of their service on Nov. 7 at Dataw Island.

Around 100 servicemen and women from all branches of the military participated in this Annual March and Rally.

The early morning fog still hung low as the veterans assumed formation and marched to the pole, led by the Beaufort High School JROTC Color Guard.

After a teary-eyed raising of the colors, the Beaufort Harbormasters, a choral group led by Tim McGrath, treated the crowd with majestic renditions of patriotic songs, including the songs from each military branch: “Anchors Aweigh” for the U.S. Navy, “The Caissons Go Rolling Along” for the U.S. Army, “The Wild Blue Yonder” for the U.S. Air Force, “The Marines’ Hymn” for the U.S. Marine Corps and “Semper Paratus” for the U.S. Coast Guard.

The week-long Veterans Celebration

kicked off Nov. 4 with guest bartenders at Sweetgrass restaurant, followed on Nov. 5 with the “Flag Brigade,” for which a group of Dataw Island volunteers painstakingly placed 3,500 flags along 2.5 miles of roadways on the island to usher in their honored guests.

On Nov. 6, Assistant Golf Professional Chris Fearn bested himself in playing 219 holes of golf in one day.

Fearn took pledges based on each hole he completed, as well as how many birdies and eagles he made, in order to raise money for the On Course Foundation, a nonprofit organization that supports the recovery of wounded, injured and ill service personnel and veterans through golf.

On Nov. 7, following the March and Rally, a golf tournament for veterans of all ages and their supporters was played on both of the Dataw Island golf courses.

The Veterans Golf Classic supports Tee it Up for the Troops, which has beneficiaries such as the Fischer House which builds comfort homes See HONOR, page A5

Dataw Island salutes veterans each year with a full arsenal of events honoring their service, highlighted by the naming of the Dataw Island Veteran of the Year.

This year’s honoree is named in memoriam to veteran Jack Cummings.

Cummings’ service to the military as well as the community at large was recognized at a ceremony on Nov. 7.

In addition to being recognized by adults as a great friend, many area children get a

special twinkle in their eye as they see the man who served as Santa Claus for military children.

Cummings entered the Army in 1968 and spent his duty years at the Pentagon. Coming from a line of police personnel, after his service he spent almost 30 years in law enforcement, first serving on the Capitol Police and then transferring to the Washington, D.C., police.

After retiring in 2000, he and his wife moved to Dataw Island, where he quickly be-

PUBLIC SAFETY

Island Girls Night Out

Bluffton woman reports sex assault

At approximately midnight on Nov. 4, Beaufort County Sheriff 's Office deputies responded to Bluestone Apartments at 4921 Bluffton Parkway in Bluffton to a report of a disturbance. When deputies arrived they found a woman in an apartment screaming for help.

She told them she was walking her dog when she was approached by an African-American man who began punching her in the face. He pushed her to the ground and began to rip off her clothes, while stating his intention to sexually assault her.

At that point, the woman's dog became aggressive toward the man and he ran off in an unknown direction. The woman was emotionally distraught and sustained physical injuries during the assault.

She was transported by Emergency Medical Services to a local hospital for treatment. The woman has since been released from the hospital.

The man was possibly in his 30s with a crooked nose (maybe from a prior broken nose), missing an upper front tooth and smelled of alcohol and cigarettes.

Other identifying physical features, such as height, approximate weight and whether he had any facial hair are not known at this time. He was wearing a black or dark hooded sweatshirt and latex medical/food services style gloves (color unknown).

Of particular significance, the suspect was described by the victim as having a speech impediment— possibly a lisp—as she noticed he had problems pronouncing words that contained the letter “s.”

Sheriff 's Office investigators are currently obtaining details and are asking for information from the public. Anyone that may have seen something in the area of Bluestone Apartments or the suspect is urged to call Sheriff 's Office Emergency Dispatch at 911 or Sgt. Seth Reynells at 843-255-3709; or CrimeStoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC (274-6372) to remain anonymous and collect a possible reward.

Pedestrian, dog struck in Trask Parkway accident

Just before 7 p.m. on Nov. 2, the Burton Fire District was dispatched to a motor vehicle accident on Trask Parkway by Detour Road. Burton firefighters arrived on scene to find a female pedestrian and a dog lying on Trask Parkway after being struck by a motor vehicle.

A2

NOVEMBER 9 - 15, 2017

The pedestrian suffered what appeared to be serious injuries and was transported to the hospital. The dog was also transported to a local emergency veterinarian service with unknown injuries.

Two lanes of Trask Parkway were blocked for approximately 45 minutes while emergency crews assisted the injured pedestrian and dog.

The driver of the motor vehicle was uninjured.

Parris Island Gateway crash injures two

Just past 2:30 p.m. on Nov. 2, the Burton Fire District responded to a motor vehicle accident in the area of 368 Parris Island Gateway. Firefighters arrived on the scene to a two-vehicle accident involving a pickup truck and a moped.

The moped operator, who was not wearing a helmet, suffered what appeared to be critical injuries and was transported to the hospital.

The driver of the pickup truck had minor injuries and was not transported.

Three lanes of Parris Island Gateway were blocked for approximately 30 minutes while emergency crews assisted the injured drivers.

Cold case is still being investigated

Margit Schuller, 34, was found shot to death in the laundry room shortly after 8 p.m. on Nov. 1, 1987, at Palmetto Apartments on Harding Street in Beaufort.

The investigators developed several suspects, but forensic science of the time could not establish any firm link. Robbery and sexual assault were two of the possible motives, but neither took place.

Blood evidence was found and collected along the same route believed taken by the suspect to flee the laundry room.

It was apparent during the struggle with Schuller that the suspect’s handgun discharged, traveling through her upper body and wounding the shooter on ricochet.

At the time, blood typing was the industry standard and could only exclude or include a suspect in a criminal case, it would not serve as standalone as conclusive involvement of a crime.

Months later, a handgun was recovered by workers clearing a lot on U.S. 21, over a few miles from the scene. The handgun was identified as the one used to shoot and kill Schuller through forensic examination. The owner of the handgun was never identified, as it was a foreign brand and may have been brought to

the United States unrecorded.

In 1999, the blood evidence from the scene was resubmitted to the forensic laboratory for DNA analysis. A profile was developed by the laboratory and submitted to the FBI DNA database, which to this day has yet to return a match.

A reward of up to $2,500 is offered for information leading to an arrest in any Beaufort County cold case.

During some criminal investigations, investigators might exhaust all credible leads in a case.

When this happens, the case can become stagnant or what is typically known as “cold.”

The Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office is making these files accessible to the public in hopes that someone might come forward with information that may not have yet been uncovered.

Anyone with any information can contact Capt. Bob Bromage at 843-255-3402, 843816-8013 or robertb@bcgov.net; or CrimeStoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC (274-6372) to remain anonymous and collect a possible reward.

CERT training is being offered

Beaufort County residents interested in learning more about self-sufficiency during a disaster are invited to participate in the Community Response Team Program.

The CERT program provides training for individuals to increase self-sufficiency in a disaster.

Participants will learn to provide emergency assistance to their families and neighbors.

CERT classes are free of charge.

The next series will start Tuesday, Dec. 5.

Classes will be held at the Technical College of the Lowcountry campus in Bluffton at 100 Community College Drive in room 125.

The course is taught in four class sessions from 6-9 p.m. and one Saturday class from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The classes include: • Tuesday, Dec. 5: Personal Preparedness and Hazard Mitigation • Thursday, Dec. 7: Disaster Medical I • Tuesday, Dec. 12: Disaster Psychology/ Terrorism Response • Thursday, Dec. 14: Disaster Medical II/ CERT Organization • Saturday, Dec. 16: Fire Suppression/Disaster Search Techniques & Exercise For more information or to register, send an email to cert@bcgov.net or contact Major David Zeoli, Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office, at 843-812-8035 or Kris Legge at 843-263-2783.

Beaufort Memorial retains excellence designation In recognition of its nurse-friendly work environment, Beaufort Memorial Hospital once again earned the Pathway to Excellence designation from the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC).

One of only five hospitals in the state to receive the honor, BMH was the first hospital in South Carolina to achieve the designation in 2011.

“The ANCC Pathway to Excellence is the seal of approval that Beaufort Memorial provides an excellent practice environment for nurses and other clinicians," said BMH Associate Vice President Susie Roos, who spearheaded the hospital’s effort to achieve the designation. “It’s a win-win because everyone benefits when the practice environment improves.”

Established in 2007, the national

program was developed to improve both the quality of patient care and the professional satisfaction of nurses by providing a workplace where they can excel. Nurses can trust a hospital with the Pathway designation will respect nursing contributions, support professional development and nurture optimal practice environments.

To date, there are only 151 Pathway designated organizations in the United States.

To remain a Pathway to Excellence hospital, an organization must reapply every four years. This spring, BMH submitted a comprehensive 1,400-page report to the ANCC, providing the organization with evidence the hospital has met six practice standards essential to an ideal nursing practice environment.

As part of the extensive review process, the hospital’s 300-plus nurses were asked to respond to a confidential online survey verifying the hospital follows the prescribed practices and policies. A critical element of the application process, it exemplifies the theme of empowering and giving nurses a voice.

“The Pathway to Excellence designation means we work in an environment where nurses are valued for their contributions,” said Karen Carroll, Beaufort Memorial’s chief nursing officer and vice president of patient care services. “When nurses feel empowered, satisfied and engaged, they perform better – which leads to better patient outcomes.”

To learn more about Beaufort Memorial Hospital, visit www.

BeaufortMemorial.org.

LOOK. THEN LEAP. Out of 46 hospitals in the state, Beaufort Memorial was one of just 19 to receive an “A” rating on the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grades’ Fall 2017 report card. Our top score – for the third time in a row – is a testament to our ability to protect patients from human error and prevent hospital-acquired infections.

In sum, we look hard at patient safety so that, when it comes to your care, you never have to take a leap of faith.

way, Suite 320, Beaufort. Call 843-521-4357.

American Family Care (AFC), which has an urgent care center in Beaufort, will offer military veterans free flu shots on Veterans Day, Saturday, Nov. 11.

The announcement is an extension of AFC's ongoing effort to promote flu prevention in the United States and comes on the heels of the company's annual National Flu Prevention Week campaign.

The U.S. military was the first institution to establish a universal influenza vaccination policy, which dates back to the early 1940s – many decades before widespread immunization of healthy young people was recommended by the CDC and other international health officials.

Today, its goal is to exceed 90-percent immunization of all military personnel by mid-December each year.

AFC is located at 272 Robert Smalls Park-

Blue Cross offering enrollment information

Gold, Silver and Bronze plans are available for individuals and families. All plans cover the same essential health benefits, but the costs will vary based on the metallic level.

BlueCross is offering 24 plans on the health care exchange, including the BlueEssentials Bronze 4 plan, which could have a zero premium, depending on a person’s income and eligibility for subsidies.

In addition, some of the plans have lower copays, smaller deductibles and a variety of prescription drug benefits.

subsidies can purchase lowered priced silver plans as well as other off-exchange insurance products, which offer a variety of benefit options and prices.

“The shortened length of open enrollment creates a great sense of urgency for some people. We want to ensure people get the information they need to make good decisions for themselves within the limited time frame,” said Terry Peace, BlueCross senior vice president. “The varying price and benefit designs, including the zero premium, offer a wide range of options, which gives security of coverage and, hopefully, peace of mind.”

According to 2016 census information, 14.5 percent of the state’s nearly 5 million residents are uninsured. BlueCross urges all South Carolinians not covered by their employer to purchase insurance, as required by law.

There are several ways consumers can get more information about the BlueCross plans offered on the exchange: • Visit www.SouthCarolinaBlues.com.

One of the most significant aspects of the Whitehall site is its tree cover. The development group says it has not only done the required tree surveys, but has done a health assessment of each tree on the parcel in an effort to save as many trees as possible.

Traffic on Lady’s Island east of the Woods Memorial Bridge is also an issue.

According to a newly-completed Whitehall Traffic Study, an estimated 2,266 daily new external vehicle trips will be generated by Whitehall-related traffic.

A proposed exit from the property on Meridian Road is likely to absorb some traffic moving across Meridian Road toward Lady’s Island Drive.

The board of the South Carolina Coastal Conservation League has announced that Laura Cantral will join the league as executive director in January.

Founder Dana Beach will step down as the organization’s executive director and assume a new role as founder and director emeritus, providing strategic guidance.

“The Coastal Conservation League has transformed conservation in South Carolina, and serves as a model across the region for pragmatic conservation advocacy,” Cantral said. “I am humbled to lead the organization, and I am excited to continue build-

ing on a legacy of conservation victories to protect coastal South Carolina’s natural resources and quality of life.”

Cantral comes to the Conservation League from Meridian Institute in Washington, D.C., a nonprofit organization focused on leading diverse and collaborative stakeholder efforts. Cantral oversees projects and major initiatives focused on U.S. ocean policy.

Cantral has also worked on the U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy in Washington, the Biscayne Bay Partnership Initiative in Miami and on the Florida Governor’s Ocean Committee.

A native of Mississippi, Cantral is a graduate of the University of Mississippi and the University of Mississippi School of Law. “Laura Cantral will continue Dana Beach’s legacy of effective advocacy for a better Lowcountry,” Conservation League board chair Margot Rose said. “We welcome Laura and we look forward to her leadership of the strong team that Dana has built since 1989.”

Charley Tarver, vice chair of the Conservation League board, said, “Among other challenges, growth in coastal South Carolina threatens the quality of life that draws so many here. We’re fortunate to have a strong organization in place to tackle these challenges head-on and encourage innovation. The Lowcountry deserves the best.”

The Coastal Conservation League is a nonprofit advocacy organization dedicated to protecting the coastal resources of South Carolina. Its mission is to protect the natural landscapes, abundant wildlife, clean water and traditional communities by working with citizens, local governments and the state legislature.

Habitat for Humanity announces fund drive chair

LowCountry Habitat for Humanity has announced that Stephen Murray will chair its 2017 Annual Fund Drive.

The Annual Fund Drive is a mailing that is sent in early November that supports the nuts and bolts of LowCountry Habitat’s Beaufort operations.

The majority of the funds donated to LowCountry Habitat are for specific home builds or projects whereas these Stephen Murray funds support the organization’s operations and provide flexibility to help the community with repair projects.

Murray currently serves on the Beaufort City Council. As a third generation Beaufortonian, he attended both Beaufort High School and the University of South Carolina Beaufort. He and his wife, Melissa have twin girls.

Murray is also a local business owner and operator, and currently owns two Beau-

fort-based small businesses, Kazoobie Kazoos and New South Shirts. Kazoobie is a two-time Top 75 Small Business in the United States awarded by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

“LowCountry Habitat has a clear mission that includes partnerships with the community as well as the families they serve.

The program includes an investment from family partners in the form of sweat equity and with this comes the pride of ownership.

Supporting Habitat provides a hand-up for these families and our community,” said Murray.

For over 27 years, LowCountry Habitat has been changing lives in Northern Beaufort County by helping to provide the much needed hand up to home ownership to qualified family partners.

Coca-Cola to construct local distribution center

Live Oak Builders, a custom home builder in Beaufort and the Sea Islands, won several awards at the 18th Annual Lighthouse Awards Gala, held recently at the Hilton Head Marriott Resort & Spa. “The Lighthouse awards are truly like the Academy Awards for our building industry,” said Dan Monroe, chairman of the Lighthouse Awards program since its inception.

“It gives builders the opportunity to be recognized for the hard work, talent and vision they put forward in building some of the most remarkable homes in this area and beyond.”

Live Oak Builders submitted a recently completed new home located on Dataw Island.

The design is called “Tideland Haven” and is a popular Southern Living style. It was designed by Historical Concepts LLC and further customized for the owners by Our Town Plans LLC. The construction costs for new homes and remodeled homes entries ranged from $125,000 to $3.5 million. Subdivided into categories, each entry competed against similar price range and construction scope.

Live Oak Builders’ received awards for “Best Kitchen,” “Best Exterior,” and “Best Overall.”

“The owners were an absolute pleasure to work with. The custom elements they chose to add to this already stunning design put this house in a league of its own,” said Todd Bradley, owner of Live Oak Builders.

A fourth award for Best Brochure/Marketing Piece was presented to Live Oak Builders for its “Welcome Package.” Designed, developed and executed by Terry Rice, of TR Marketing, the package consists of special offerings from local businesses that homeowners may find helpful as they settle into their new home in the Lowcountry.

“As a small business owner, I’ve had this idea for some time, but was unable to act on it. With Terry on board for marketing and communications, I knew she could make it happen,” said Todd.

Live Oak Builders’ Design and Remodeling Center is located at 1402 Boundary St.

Coca-Cola Consolidated has announced plans to construct a new $5 million sales and distribution center at the Cypress Ridge Industrial Park in Ridgeland.

The company will be bringing 45 existing jobs with the operation and creating at least 20 new jobs.

“Coca-Cola has been an important partner to our state for a long time – employing over 1,200 South Carolinians. Every time a company like Coca-Cola decides to invest in South Carolina, it shows the world that there is no company too big or too small to find success here,” said Gov. Henry McMaster.

Coca-Cola Consolidated has seven locations in South Carolina and employs more than 1,200 people in the state.

The new facility will handle sales and distribution of Coca-Cola products throughout Allendale, Bamberg, Beaufort, Colleton, Hampton and Jasper counties.

The company will be locating its operations in the Cypress Ridge Industrial Park’s Speculative Building in Ridgeland.

Dark ‘Exterminating Angel’ to arrive at arts center

By Alan Schuster

Taking into consideration that British composer Thomas Ades’s opera had its world premiere at the Salzburg Festival in July 2016, any previews of it might best be drawn from a few reviews by those who actually attended it.

And so, what follows is based largely on comments made by three prominent music critics. They are Anthony Tommasini, N.Y. Times; Mark Swed, L.A. Times; and Alex Ross, The New Yorker.

But first, some background. “The Exterminating Angel” is based on a 1962 Spanish film of the same name by Luis Bunuel. It’s been defined as a “dark fantasy and macabre comedy ... in which a wealthy couple invite some guests to their mansion for an elegant dinner after attending an opera, Lucia di Lammermoor.

After the dinner, the guests adjourn to a salon where everyone, including the hosts, find it psychologically, though not physically, impossible to the leave the room.

The New York Times said, “His powerful score reveals the harrowing absurdity of the situation, as the guests become hungry, dirty and hostile. As the days go by, they turn

upon one another with accusatory hysteria, fired by the composer’s determination to expose what he sees as the deteriorating psyches of these privileged people.

The music pulses with searing power, frenetic breathlessness and an astringent harmonic language spiked with thick, piercing chords, though pensive, dreamy episodes provide welcome relief. Still, this is a grim telling of the tale through an exceptionally inventive and audacious score ... tilting toward the apocalyptic.”

The L.A. Times said, “'Exterminating Angel' is an opera of deca-

dence quickly decaying. And we understand it through musical decays, not just notes fading away. Whole musical forms, such as the waltz or the chaconne, fall apart just as the dinner party does. If there is a method to all the musical madness, it is hysteria raised to exhilarating new heights."

As in the film, there are sheep on the stage, three live ones grazing as the audience walks in. Bells are ringing. The opera is madcap, with the servants’ exits and dizzying greetings of “enchanted” in complex ensembles nearly impossible to contrapuntally untangle. In the

opera house, the gesture becomes radically enhanced and potentially dangerous.

The New Yorker said, “Thomas Adès is as compelling as any contemporary practitioner of his art because he is, first and foremost, a virtuoso of extremes. He is a refined technician, with a skilled performer’s reverence for tradition, yet he has no fear of unleashing brutal sounds on the edge of chaos. Although he makes liberal use of tonal harmony — including opulent, late-Romantic gestures, for which mainstream audiences profess to be starved — he subjects that material to shattering pressure. He conjures both the vanished past and the ephemeral present: waltzes in a crumbling ballroom, pounding beats in a pop arena.”

And finally, this brief comment from the Huffington Post: “The Metropolitan Opera brought Thomas Ades’ 'The Exterminating Angel' to the stage last night in a spectacular American premiere of one of the most anticipated openings of a new opera in years, and drew a standing ovation from the composer’s devoted fans. With a cast of dozens and a sweeping

modernistic score conducted by the composer, the opera has been awaited with such high expectations that its arrival has gained the status of a major cultural event in New York’s music world.”

Most prominent in the cast will be soprano Audrey Luna, who made a vivid impression as Ariel in Ades’s “The Tempest” which was a Saturday live broadcast at the Met in 2013. Opera News singled her out as “having power and a blazing coloratura facility that most lyric sopranos can only dream of.”

The next Met opera will be Puccini’s “Tosca” on Saturday, Jan 27, 2018.

Tickets for all opera presentations are now available. All seats are general admission. Tickets are $20 for adults; $18 for OLLI members, and $10 for students.

The box office opens at noon.

IF YOU GO Thomas Ades’s opera, “The Exterminating Angel,” will be broadcast live in HD from the Met at 12:55 p.m.

Saturday, Nov. 18, at the USCB Center for the Arts.

VOICES

Looking for fall foliage, finding a hurricane Having grown up in the north, I am used to seeing rolling hills of colorful leaves this time of year.

Although the live oaks in my yard have shed their fall leaves and are replaced now with green leaves, they never provide me with colorful fall colors.

So my spouse and I decided to go in search of some fall foliage.

The warm fall we have had delayed some of the leaves changing in the South Carolina and North Carolina mountains, so we headed farther north. But even Maryland was behind in changing seasons and we only saw a few trees with colors.

The decision was made to go farther north until we hit Quebec City in Canada. There, at the end of October, we finally entered falllike weather with its colorful foliage.

It was so much fun to walk on the sidewalk, look down and see the fallen Canadian

Now what?

maple leaves. We decided to try our luck and head farther north. As we traveled around Saquenay, Quebec, we realized we we had gone too far. The bare trees reminded of us of why we moved south to our beautiful Palmetto trees and live oaks. Winter can be so dreary without any leaves on the trees.

We then headed over to Nova Scotia and there in Halifax found our fall foliage all around. It was spectacular!

It was during our drive over to Peggy’s

Cove, the sight of a spectacular lighthouse perched out on some large rocks, when my spouse said, “Did I mention to you that we’re getting a visitor here?”

“What visitor?” I asked. “Who do we know in Nova Scotia?”

“Phillippe,” he said calmly.

“The hurricane?” I asked in shock. He nodded his head.

“Are you telling me that we traveled over 1,500 miles only to have a hurricane follow us?”

I have really had it with hurricanes this year.

But he echoed my sentiments when he said, “At least it didn’t go to Beaufort.”

Fortunately, Philippe was slowly dissipating so we were not impeded in our trip.

However, those 70 mph winds coupled with a strong rainfall sure felt like a hurricane.

After the front came through and the leaves were stripped off the trees, we began our trek south.

The Maine coastline did not disappoint us and one can guess why maple syrup is so popular in Canada and Maine. There were maple trees everywhere.

But the post-hurricane weather was followed by cold air and we began to layer on our clothes in the brisk fresh air.

Time to head south we agreed. Our fall foliage excursion was over and we headed home.

Long-term plan is already in crisis management A version of the notorious public company “quarter-to-quarter mentality” exists in local government. It goes something like this: “If the results cannot be seen by the next time I have to run, then I don’t really care about it.”

It is the prevalence of this status quo-preserving mindset among elected officials that accounts for why long-term planning is left to staffers and relegated almost always to the back burner.

When the staff report finally gets presented to the elected officials, they nod cheerfully saying, “That’s very good work and good to know,” and then they groan: “But gosh doing that would be so expensive! Why, we had no idea. Where would we get all that money?”

At that the plan is put on the shelf to be admired occasionally when its name gets called.

Yes, there are exceptions. Mostly exceptions occur when officials learn a tsunami is coming.

A tsunami is coming.

It is headed for U.S. 278 between S.C. 170 and I-95.

Why? Because a decade ago — just before the hard times — the City of Hardeeville annexed virtually all the timberland tracts that lay along that corridor, and with developers negotiated development agreements for these lands that, when they are built out will, according to Hardeeville City Manager Michael J. Czymbor’s estimate last week, put about 60,000 new residential units into communities that will feed into U.S. 278 along that corridor. Not to mention the

shopping centers. That’s several Sun Cities. That’s a couple of Blufftons on steroids. Latitudes Margaritaville is just the flashy opening act.

Bringing additional seriousness to the matter Bill Rauch is that the Jasper Port’s leadership says their facility will provide 900 construction jobs between now and when it opens 10-12 years from now, and a million jobs by 2040. That’s a lot of containers going somewhere … on roads that are not even dirt roads today.

All these big numbers have gotten the attention of the governments, most notably Hardeeville, Bluffton and Beaufort County.

But Hilton Head Island, Ridgeland and Jasper County are also watching.

In a commendable effort to work toward regional solutions, Hardeeville’s mayor, Harry Williams, has pulled representatives of all these governments into a group called SoLoCo for the Southern Lowcountry Regional Board. In this, he says, he has been ably assisted by Bluffton Mayor Lisa Sulka and Beaufort County Council Chairman Paul Sommerville.

The group has begun sharing data and ideas on population projections, stormwater management, estuary preservation, venue shopping, vocational education, workforce housing and water and sewer needs. They say they are laying off transportation issues for the time being because another more formal group, the Lowcountry Area Transportation Study that works through the

There are already more Hardeeville city votes in Sun City North (the portion of Sun City that is located in Jasper County) than in all the rest of Hardeeville. This chart from the City of Hardeeville’s website shows that will soon be changing.

Lowcountry Council of Governments, is supposed to be working on those needs.

All this will have a familiar ring to longtime residents. It is reminiscent of the years after Beaufort County green-lighted Sun City Hilton Head. In those days plans for schools, roads and drainage improvements were initiated that regular readers of this column know have now cost taxpayers about a half billion dollars to build.

Hilton Head: This is what your success looks like.

Sun City Hilton Head — located of course many miles from Hilton Head Island — was a summer afternoon boomer compared to the tsunami that’s blowing down Hardeeville’s pipeline.

How will Hilton Head Island residents get to I-95? Hardeeville has plans to improve the interchanges at miles 5 and 8 on I-95, but there are no plans to improve — much less pay for — the corridors to those interchanges. Hilton Head’s preferred route, Exit 3, to be reached by an extension of the Bluffton Parkway, “has no viable legs at this time,” Hilton Head Town Manager Steve Riley said last week.

How will we keep the Okatie, the May

How will we keep the Okatie, the May and Calibogue Sound vibrant? Who will build all this public and private infrastructure, and where will their children be educated?

River and Calibogue Sound vibrant? Who will build all this public and private infrastructure, and where will their children be educated?

SoLoCo’s planning efforts are, as is alltoo-often the case in government, crisis management. And, unfortunately for the taxpayers, we won’t have the luxury of putting their plans on the shelf.

SCHOOLS & SPORTS SCHOOL BRIEFS SC college students given tourism awards

Pictured left to right are Angela Puleo, USCB; Alison Ann Lindsey, USC; Alison Phelps, Spartanburg Community College; Christopher King, Horry-Georgetown Tech; Duane Parrish, SCPRT director; Sonja Volk, Greenville Tech; Grayson Foster, Trident Tech; Hunter Gaffney, College of Charleston; Kari Mari Funk, Coastal Carolina; and Ollie Burns, Clemson.

Nine South Carolina college students from hospitality-related programs were given Tourism Student Awards recently during a ceremony at the Lace House in Columbia.

The students were recognized for outstanding academic achievement related to hospitality and tourism in South Carolina, including culinary studies.

One of those students was Angela Puleo,

who is majoring in Hospitality Management at the University of South Carolina Beaufort. She received a plaque and a $1,500 scholarship.

Sponsored by the South Carolina Travel and Tourism Coalition, the Tourism Student Awards recognizes students who were recommended by faculty for exemplary work. Scholarships are provided through the Fred Brinkman Memorial Fund, which is funded through a silent auction held annually at the Governor’s Conference on Tourism & Travel.

Colleges make sales pitches to more than 2,500 students

More than 70 colleges and universities made sales pitches to Beaufort County public and private high school juniors and seniors on Nov. 3 at a college fair that was expected to draw more than 2,500 students to the University of South Carolina Beaufort.

Schools advertising their programs to students ranged from small private colleges to large public universities.

Local schools included the University of

South Carolina Beaufort and the Technical College of the Lowcountry, while out-ofstate schools included universities such as Florida State, Virginia Tech, Alabama, Kent State and Marshall.

Students visited booths staffed by college and university representatives who answered students’ questions about academic offerings, tuition costs and scholarship opportunities.

Beaufort County Schools Superintendent Jeff Moss said that the college fair’s goal is to focus students on preparing for new goals.

“Our school counselors emphasize to students that the best careers out there are going to require more education beyond high school,” Moss said. “The annual college fair is part of that emphasis. Our students get to sample more than 70 college and university programs in one place, and they also get a kick out of all of those schools competing for their attention.”

‘Our Schools’ TV show highlights finance, facilities

The Beaufort County School District’s Finance and Operations division and its fa-

cilities office are the focus of the latest “Our Schools” television program, which began airing on Nov. 3 on the County Channel.

Appearing with Superintendent Jeff Moss is Tonya Crosby, chief finance and operations officer; Larry Wilson, district manager for Sodexo, which provides food services at district schools; Mark Chauhan, Technology Services officer; Robert Oetting, Facilities, Planning and Construction officer; Carol Crutchfield, planning coordinator; and Mona Lise Dickson, principal of Whale Branch Early College High School.

“Our Schools” is a partnership between the school district and the County Channel.

“Our Schools” will air four times weekly: at 11:30 a.m. Mondays; 9 p.m. Tuesdays; 8:30 p.m. Thursdays; and 12:30 p.m. Saturdays.

The broadcast airs 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 the County Channel’s website www.bcgov.net/departments/community-services/ county-channel/index.php In addition, the show will be archived and can be watched any time at the same link.

SPORTS BRIEFS HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL

Beaufort High falls to Myrtle Beach

Host Myrtle Beach proved to be too much for Beaufort High in the opening round of the Class 4A State Playoffs. Myrtle Beach managed to pull away to beat visiting Beaufort High 46-7, defeating the Eagles convincingly in an early postseason high school football game on Nov. 3.

With the loss, Beaufort High ended its season 8-3.

Myrtle Beach advances to the second round of the Class 4A State Playoffs with the win.

The Beaufort High football team was forced to play from behind in each quarter.

Dominant Myrtle Beach was able to convert early and often offensively.

Homestanding Myrtle Beach excelled throughout the postseason contest. Jermani Green paced Myrtle Beach on the ground, rushing for 121 yards and four touchdowns.

Myrtle Beach was able to thrive both on the ground and through the air. Leading a highly produictive aerial attack for the Seahawks, quarterback Lawson Cribb completed 12-of-23 passes for 251 yards and three touchdowns.

Beaufort High wasn't without a few highlights in the season-ending loss as quarterback Jeffrey Smith completed 11-of-27 passes for 167 yards and one touchdown.

Smith hooked up with Jamon Graham on a 70-yard scoring pass for the Eagles' only touchdown in the early-postseason matchup.

On the ground for Beaufort High, running back Kyleik Middleton was limited to 40 rushing yards.

Following the victory over the Eagles, Myrtle Beach will face Lower Richland in the second round of the Class 4-A State Playoffs on Friday, Nov. 10.

Whale Branch battles back, beats Buford

Whale Branch battled back from an 18-point deficit to beat Buford 30-27 in the opening round of the Class 2A State Playoffs on Nov. 3.

With the win, Whale Branch improved to 6-4 and advances to host Batesburg-Leesville in the second round of the Class 2A State Playoffs.

Buford suffered the season-ending loss after posting back-to-back wins.

Whale Branch notched its fourth straight win after opening the season 0-4. Much-improved Whale Branch has a current win streak that consists of additional victories over longtime rivals Woodland, North Charleston, Academic Magnet, Garreatt Academy Tech and Burke.

The Warriors fared well on offense, defensive and special teams.

Providing a lift for the Warriors on special teams, kicker Jhonathan Diaz connected on three field goals. A 25-yard field goal from Diaz with 4:37 remaining allowed Whale Branch to take a 30-27 lead over Buford.

Buford controlled the postseason high school football contest early, owning a 21-3 lead over Whale Branch in the first half.

But the Warriors wouldn't be denied the win.

Two scoring runs from Irvin Mulligan and a touchdown pass from CJ Brown to Jamal Moultrie allowed Whale Branch to carry a 24-21 lead into halftime.

Whale Branch owned a 27-21 lead but Buford answered with another touchdown.

Persevering, the Warriors round up winning, thanks to Diaz's third field goal of the game. Buford missed an extra point kick following its final touchdown.

Beaufort Academy levels Holly Hill

The Beaufort Academy football team won easily in the opening round of the postseason and made history in the process. The Eagles leveled Holly Hill 43-6 on Nov. 3, claiming the first playoff win in Beaufort Academy's history.

With the win, Beaufort Academy improved to 5-5 and will meet Wardlaw Academy in the semifinals of the SCISA 8-Man Division 1 Playoffs on Friday, Nov. 10.

Holly Hill ended its season 2-8 with the loss.

The Raiders had carried some momentum over into the postseason after upending St. John's Christian Academy 26-18 on the road in a regular-season finale on Oct. 27.

Together, Deshawn Epps and Jax Spratling accounted for five touchdowns.

Epps paced Beaufort Academy on the ground, rushing for 196 yards. The productive Epps also hauled in a 45-yard touchdown reception.

Spratling rushed 16 times for 103 yards for the Eagles in the victory.

Directing the Beaufort Academy offense, quarterback Dawson Coleman passed for 55 yards and rushed for 35 additional yards.

Combined, Coleman delivered a pair of touchdowns for the Eagles in the winning effort.

Defensively, Beaufort Academy thrived, holding Holly Hill out of the endzone. The Holly Hill offense was held scoreless as Beaufort Academy prevailed.

Holly Hill scored its only touchdown on a fumble return on the game's opening possession.

Several Beaufort Academy players provided a lift on the defensive side but none more so than Edward McCormick. The game's leading tackler, McCormick delivered 15 tackles for the Eagles.

Dolphins fall short versus Bishop England

The Battery Creek Dolphins couldn't pull off a win on the road in the opening round of the postseason. Bishop England held on to win 32-26 over Battery Creek in the first round of the Class 3A State Playoffs on Nov. 3. With the loss, Battery Creek concluded its season 4-6.

Bishop England improved to 8-2 and advanced to the second round of the Class 3A State Playoffs with the win.

Quarterback Leo Albano led Bishop England to the win. Albano amassed 440 yards

of total offense and four touchdowns to lead the Battling Bishops to the hard-fought win in the opening round.

The productive Albano rushed for three touchdowns and threw for another TD, hooking up with Chris Dangler on a scoring toss to allow Bishop England to carry a commanding 25-0 lead into halftime.

However, Battery Creek mounted a furious comeback. The Dolphins pulled to within two touchdowns in the second half as Bishop England clung to a 32-20 lead. Battery Creek was able to tack on a touchdown on the game's final play.

Offensively for the Dolphins in the season-ending setback, quarterback Jordan Gwyn passed for 184 yards, rushed for 84 yards and had a hand in on four touchdowns.

In other area high school football games on Nov. 3, it was Whale Branch 30, Buford 27; Beaufort Academy 43, Holly Hill 6; Myrtle Beach 46, Beaufort High 7; Dillon Christian 35, John Paul II 0; Robert E.

WINE

Holiday wines from Parducci rule Okey dokey. Here we are again. More new wines. All with the upcoming holidays in mind.

Have to love it!

Mendocino is our wine area for this week. This is a county that stretches Celia Strong across the northern borders of both Napa and Sonoma counties.

Wine-wise, the Mendocino wine appellation is part of the much larger North Coast AVA. It is also one of California’s largest wine areas with some of the most diverse climates in its vineyards. There are 10 AVAs within Mendocino.

As a whole, Mendocino is one of the leading wine regions for organically grown grapes; about 25 percent of the 15,000 acres of vineyards.

The name “Mendocino” comes from the family name of a 16th century Spanish explorer, Lorenzo Suárez de Mendoza, who explored the coast of this region.

The first vineyards in Mendocino date back to the 1850s, in the Redwood Valley.

Farmers chose planting vines as a second choice after not being successful in California gold mines. (Seems to me that maybe they didn’t know a gold mine when they saw one, what with the price of vineyards today.)

The range of climates in Mendocino make it a good source for a variety of grapes. The Anderson Valley is one of the coolest growing areas in the United States.

There were a handful of wineries there, by the 1980s, but it was Roederer from the Champagne region of France that showed the potential for great sparkling wines. That means the Champagne varieties - Chardonnay and Pinot Noir - do well in Anderson Valley.

Around Ukiah, in the center of the Mendocino AVA, where the weather is warmer, Cabernet, Merlot, Petit Sirah and Zinfandel do really well.

Just north of Lake Mendocino, the Redwood and Potter Valleys face each other.

This is where the first vineyards in Mendocino were planted, within reach of the great redwood forest. Zinfandels do well here.

The oldest commercial vineyard in Mendocino County is Parducci Wines, our winery this week.

Parducci (par-dew-chee) was founded in 1931 during Prohibition. Until the late 1960s, Parducci was the only commercial winery in Mendocino. In part, this was because San Francisco was more than 100 miles away. Napa and Sonoma wines bene-

fited from their proximity to the city where their new American wines were showcased in shops and restaurants.

In May, Parducci celebrated its 85th year.

With the release of a new wine, “85,” a special cuvée in honor of John Parducci.

Parducci is based in Ukiah and owned and operated by the Thornhill family. This family continues the traditions started by the Parduccis with its award-winning wines and sustainable grape growing. Three times, in 2007, 2009 and 2014, the state of California has awarded Parducci Wine Cellars with the Governor’s Environmental and Economic Leadership Award. (This is California’s highest environmental award.)

Like other producers, Parducci offers several tiers of wines. Ours, today, are from their Small Lot series. We are only discussing two, because these two are more suitable for holiday dinners. But, look out for and try others.

With this series, they blend grapes from several select sites (lots). By blending they are able to produce more complex wines at really affordable prices.

Parducci Small Lot Sauvignon Blanc is our white. This wine is 100 percent Sauvignon Blanc, all from Mendocino County. It is full of lemon and tropical fruit (mangos, pineapple, peaches) aromas and flavors. Plus melons, and a subtle creamy texture along side the crisp, bright acidity. It’s terrific with vegetables, white pizzas, salads, and, yes, holiday turkey dinners.

For $10.99.

The Parducci Small Lot Pinot Noir is a treasure. When you start looking at Mendocino County Pinot Noirs, there can be some price shock. The exact point of the Small Lot Series.

This wine is all Pinot Noir, all from Mendocino County. It is aged for 12 months in oak barrels – 20 percent new French oak and 80 percent neutral oak. Each lot of grapes is fermented separately and then the blend is done.

Juicy raspberry and strawberry aromas jump from your glass. And, then, you taste the berries and coffee and vanilla and black pepper and truffles and cedar. Just proves how parts of Mendocino are so well-suited for this variety.

Try it with salmon, grilled poultry, pork and red meats. And turkey.

For $11.99.

So, seems Parducci does rule. From Small Lots on up.

Enjoy.

WHAT TO DO Holiday craft market offered Wednesdays

The Santa Elena Foundation, in partnership with Hank's Lowcountry She Crab Soup, relaunched its second-annual craft market on Nov. 8 with the holidays in mind.

The market will be open from 2-6 p.m. every Wednesday until after the new year, and will feature live entertainment, arts and crafts vendors, local food artisans, giveaways and a kid's craft table.

The goal of the market is to raise awareness of local artisans and vendors, offer an alternative to big-box holiday gifts, and raise money for the foundation's preservation efforts.

The events are open to the public and the entertainment, parking and kid's craft table are free.

The market will be at the corner of Bladen and North streets in downtown Beaufort.

Holiday Market of Beaufort coming to BA

The Holiday Market of Beaufort will be held from 5-9 p.m. Friday, Nov. 10, and 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 11, at Beaufort Academy at 240 Sams Point Road on Lady’s Island.

Friday is Lady’s Night for ages 21 and over and will include beer, wine and hors d’oeurves. Tickets are $25.

Saturday is Family Fun Day and will include Letters to Santa, vendors and more.

Tickets are available online at eventbrite. com or at the door.

Mitchelville topic of upcoming program

Before there was the town of Hilton Head, there was the town of Mitchelvile, the first self-governed Freedman’s town in America that was started in 1862 on what was to become America’s first modern resort island.

That is the topic of a Dinner & A Lecture from 5:30-7 p.m. Monday, Nov. 13, at Verdier House, 801 Bay St., as part of Historic Beaufort Foundation’s Fall Lecture Series.

Mitchelville has gone mostly unrecognized in American history. It was only a memory of native islanders until 2005, when a diverse group of Hilton Head Island citizens joined forces to preserve, protect and promote its heritage through the Mitchelville Preservation Project.

A wine and hors d’oeuvre reception begins at 5:30 p.m.; the program is from 6-7 p.m.

Admission for members is $15/$25 per member/couple. Nonmember admission is $20/$30 per person/couple.

Call 843-379-3331 to make reservations.

Reservations for Saltus River Grill’s special for lecture ticket-holders may be made by calling Saltus at 843-379-3474.

Christian theater performances offered

Music of Forever, a Christian theater production, is being held at 6 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays at Grace AME Chapel on Charles Street in Beaufort.

According to Hillary Lathan, who puts on the show with her husband, Alan, the show puts Jesus on a personal level that everyone can relate to.

“People that may never walk into a church will come to the drama and experience the gospel in a way that is real and fresh to them,” she said.

The show includes seven characters and seven pieces of music. The irony of the number is intentional, as seven is a biblically significant number, according to Hillary.

For more information, visit www.musicofforever.org. The performances are free, but donations are accepted.

Training for all volunteers will be held at the Pan-African Family Empowerment Network’s office in the Landmark (Regions Bank) Building, 69 Robert Smalls Parkway, Suite 3B, Beaufort.

For more information, call 843-592-6076, or email volunteers@panafricanfamilyempowermentnetwork.org.
