New turn lane on Lady’s Island to kick off ‘long overdue’ traffic improvements ME-DNLD-1846-V3-002-04X6

By Mindy Lucas A new turn lane, coming soon to a busy intersection on Lady’s Island, will kick off the first of a handful of construction projects designed to alleviate traffic congestion and improve safety on the island, engineers say. The turn lane project, at the Sams Point Road and Sea Island Parkway intersection, was outlined in detail at a public information meeting held on Tuesday, Nov. 19, by

county engineers and others familiar with the project. Once construction is complete, drivers heading south on Sams Point Road will have a dedicated right turn lane as they approach the intersection at Sea Island Parkway. The addition will free up two full lanes for drivers heading straight, engineers say, and a left turn lane will remain for those heading east toward St. Helena Island. Overall, drivers should ex-

perience better flow as they move through the intersection, said Beaufort County’s Director of Engineering Rob McFee. “It will reduce congestion at this intersection significantly. It will also improve safety,” McFee said. The new lane will be the first of nine projects, totaling $30 million, planned for Lady’s Island alone. The road improvements are part of a larger pool of projects

planned for Beaufort County as part of the 1 percent sales tax increase greenlighted by voters in November of 2018. The nine projects slated for Lady’s Island include: • S.C. Highway 802 Sams Point Road right turn lane • Hazel Farm Road and S-7-497 Gay Drive • New Lady’s Island Middle School access

To be selected as an Angel, the charity must have devoted 80 percent or more of its total expenditures to charitable programs; the charity must have been in existence for three or more years; the charity must make good use of volunteer services; the charity must receive minimal funding from grants; and the charity must be in compliance with the South Carolina Solicitation

of Charitable Funds Act. Each year the Secretary of State’s Office attempts to showcase Angels with diverse missions from several areas around the state. “I am honored to be the chair of this great organization,” Hopeful Horizons board president Andre Nougaret said. We are humbled by this acknowledgement of our stewardship.” Traditionally, charities have been eligible to be named as an Angel by the Secretary of State only once in order to recognize as many deserving organizations as possible.

Palmetto Animal League celebrates 10 years in the Lowcountry

Palmetto Animal League, a private, nonprofit, no-kill animal rescue organization, is marking 10 years of saving lives, and to celebrate its hosting a 10th anniversary Holiday Open House at their Adoption Center in Okatie. The event will take place from 1 to 5 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 30, and guests are invited to drop by for cookies, hot cocoa and coffee. PAL staff and volunteers will give tours of their newly updated cat rooms, and in honor of their 10th anniversary, PAL will be offering $10 adoptions all day. “If you’ve been thinking

about adopting, this will be a great day to find your new best friend,” PAL President Amy Campanini said in a release. “But we understand not everyone can adopt and that’s OK. This open house is a celebration of life and hope and we want everyone to stop by to make some holiday memories.” Speaking of memories, the first 50 guests to arrive can make a $10 donation in exchange for one of PAL’s limited edition 10th anniversary keepsake ornaments. Proceeds benefit PAL’s no-kill animal rescue programs that

have saved the lives of more than 7,500 animals over the past decade. As a part of their mission, PAL is also helping provide “Meals on Wheels” for pets this holiday season. They’re asking everyone to bring a pet food item, toy, treat, or cozy bed to their Holiday Open House on Nov. 30 so pets of home-bound seniors can enjoy a special holiday, too. “Compassionate animal rescue is a community effort, and we couldn’t be doing this without the dedicated support of our adopters, fosters,

donors and volunteers,” Campanini said. “We give every rescued pet a life-affirming promise that they’ll never be homeless again, and we’re ready to work even harder over the next 10 years to defend animals and reinvent the way society views abandoned cats and dogs.” The Palmetto Animal League Adoption Center is located in the Riverwalk Business Park on Hwy. 170 in Okatie. For more information about PAL or the 10th anniversary Holiday Open House, visit PalmettoAnimalLeague. org.

PAL resident Jaxx is hoping for a big turnout for Saturday's 10th anniversary Holiday Open House at Palmetto Animal League. He's also hoping someone takes him home for Christmas. Jaxx is one of the more than 7500 animals rescued by PAL during their 10-year history.

Whom Do You Thank? This week, we pause our message series for a small Thanksgiving reflection. The way we understand God has an effect on all areas of our lives, including how we approach Thanksgiving Day. In a recent survey, 10% of Americans state that they do not believe in God or any sort of higher power.

33% of Americans state that they do not believe in God, but they believe “in some higher power or spiritual force.”

Many people have embraced a materialistic view of the world: the only things that exist are those which can be observed and measured. If this is true, God does not exist, and neither does the human soul.

This reflects a trend in our culture to see God as an impersonal force or energy. Even as people turn away from religion, most instinctively reject a materialistic worldview, recognizing that there is more to reality than the visible world.

Are we all here due to the workings of random chance? The quirky personality of a loved one, the hilarious wit of a relative, and the love we experience for them: are these merely the interaction of chemical processes in our brains, the firing of neurons? If so, we really have no one to thank.

But in matters of faith, God is seen as a “something” rather than a “someone.” A force or energy cannot know us or love us. In this case, thanking God on Thanksgiving doesn’t make much sense, any more than we would thank gravity for its constant help. Gravity isn’t aware of our existence; it doesn’t care that we are grateful that it keeps us from floating away like a balloon.

56% of Americans state that they believe in God as described in the Bible. The God revealed in Scripture is a “someone,” rather than a force or energy. He created each of us with great care. He knows each of us intimately, down to the number of hairs on our heads. (Matthew 10:30) He loves each of us more than the best parents love their child. He is part of every moment of our lives, and he is the giver of all of the blessings we have. He is the one to whom we can offer our gratitude on Thanksgiving.

This Thanksgiving, whom do you thank? We wish you a blessed Thanksgiving!

Oetting said the policy was not a reaction to any specific event. Similar practices

frontage road Work is expected to begin on the Sams Point Road project, which will also include a new sidewalk, utility work and a concrete median, in the spring of 2020. Members of the county’s design team, on hand at Tuesday’s meeting, answered questions and fielded suggestions and concerns. The county plans to hold public information meetings for each of the projects so that residents can give feedback, McFee said.

One idea that came out of a previous meeting was to construct a median on Sams Point Road, McFee said. A median would keep drivers who may be tempted to take a left out of the Walgreen’s parking lot from crossing multiple lanes or from entering the parking lot formerly occupied by Publix. “It’s tempting for drivers to make a maneuver there at the wrong time of day,” McFee said. Those who showed up for the pop-in styled meeting

were encouraged by what they saw on various renderings but still had plenty to say about the current state of traffic on Lady’s Island. “That right there is death,” said Bill Murtagh pointing to the place on Sams Point Road where drivers try to cross. Murtagh, who lives about 2 1/2 miles from the intersection, said it can take him 30 minutes or more just to go a few miles if he has an early morning appointment, something that should take less than 10 minutes, he said.

While he thinks the new turn lane will help, he was expecting to hear more about the other projects and how those might help alleviate the area’s growing traffic issues. “This will just be a tiny little Band-Aid,” he said. Longtime Lady’s Island resident Emil Meyers agreed with Murtagh. “I’m encouraged to see it, but it should have been done already,” he said of the new turn lane. “It’s long overdue.” Emil and his wife, Robin, have lived on Lady’s Island

for 20 years and think the traffic is becoming unbearable. “We’re allowing developers to build without the necessary fees involved to support the schools and the roads,” he said, adding that impact fees were not enough. “County Council and developers have got to come to an agreement and change those PUDs that were put on hold 15 years ago,” he said. “If they don’t fix that, then we’re doomed. We’re going to be Mount Pleasant and Bluffton and nobody here wants that.”

many in the tight-knit community to fish or access other sea islands in the area. But all that changed after Adams put up a gate blocking the road and angering many in the community who use the ramp to access Jenkins Creek. They say the road and ramp’s closure has impacted their livelihoods, which prompted a class-action suit filed earlier this year. After the gate went up, Gardner too was blocked from using the road, which, at the time, was the only way to access a driveway leading to his house. Gardner, who is 76,

was forced to cut a new road through a wooded area off a side road, which he did with the help of neighbors. Meanwhile, both the road and ramp continue to remain closed to the community while Gardner’s appeal, still out for consideration, is decided. To prepare for the appeal, Gardner attempted to have his property surveyed in 2018. However, Adams asked the surveyor to leave the portion along the road before the work could be completed. Dukes’ decision on Monday will effectively allow that work to be completed.

sale at sporting events, but fans may also purchase their own clear bags – including gallon-sized zip-lock freezer bags – prior to events. There are some exceptions to the new policy, once again, straight from the district’s release: “Fans who can’t carry clear bags due to medical concerns will be required to speak with a designated gate administrator and have the medical bag searched. Diaper bags can be considered as medical bags.” “Searched medical bags are the only non-clear bags an individual will be permitted to carry.” According to Oetting, at any event that has a gate – meaning a way of ticketing

the road to install a septic system. Adams is restricted from building any permanent structures on the property that would make the road impassable while both parties await a decision on an appeal, now in the hands of South Carolina’s Court of Appeals. While Dukes did not find Adams in contempt at the Sept. 11 hearing, he voiced his displeasure with Adams’ recent actions. “I had hoped and assumed that Mr. Adams wouldn’t do anything with the road, he would leave it completely

alone, and y’all would wait to get the ruling,” Dukes said. “And so I am not happy with Mr. Adams for doing this without conferring with counsel.” The order to allow surveying also follows a protracted legal battle to determine who actually owns the property and what rights, if any, do those who have used the ramp at the end of the road on the northeast side of the island have. Both Adams and

Gardner maintain the property belongs to them and have gone to court over it. In June of 2018, Judge Perry M. Buckner III of the 14th Judicial Circuit, handed down a partial summary judgment finding the road, the boat ramp and the roughly one-acre strip to the south of the road belonged to Adams, despite a 1990 Quiet Title action which stated the road separates the respective portions of the lot owned then by Gardner’s father and the previous owner of the strip. For multiple generations, the ramp has been used by

are already in place at many college stadiums across the country and are becoming more and more common at the high school level. “The S.C. High School League sent out a press release to all districts (prior to th school year), asking the school districts to consider such a policy,” Oetting said. “This is just an additional safety measure to help our players and fans feel more secure at sporting events,” Whale Branch Early College High School Athletic Director Carlos Cave said in a release. “It’s something colleges and professional teams already have in place, and increasing numbers of South Carolina school districts are also using it.”

An unspecified threat forced the cancellation of the Beaufort-Battery Creek football game at Beaufort High earlier this fall. Oetting would not comment on that specific threat but said, “there haven’t been any issues where there was a problem that this rule would have addressed.” Uniformed law enforcement officers will continue their presence at larger sporting events and all other current safety policies will remain in place. As for the letter of the rule itself, this is directly from the district’s press release: “Spectators will be prohibited from entering athletic venues with clutch bags, camera bags, computer bags,

luggage of any kind, backpacks, binocular cases, briefcases, fanny packs or and cinch/drawstring bags.” “Fans will be allowed to carry two clear tote bags no larger than 12 inches high, 12 inches wide and 6 inches deep. A small clutch or wallet can be included in a clear tote if it’s no larger than 4.5 inches by 6.5 inches. Folding chairs and blankets will still be allowed but are subject to search.” “Clear tote bags will not be required in order to carry small permissible items such as keys, wallets, cell phones, credit cards and cash that should be carried in pockets.” According to the release, the schools will have school-logo clear bags for

ter renovations are complete. According to Fulmer, the restaurant will be open seven days a week and will feature a revamped menu. “We tried to design a menu that you won’t see elsewhere … over and over and over and over,” he said. “Just some good southern comfort food.” The clubhouse – which hasn’t seen any updates in six or seven years – will see some improvements, as well. As for the golf itself, Fulmer

said the course may see some small changes for the spring, but overall, its looking good. “It’s actually in pretty good shape right now,” Fulmer said. “We have a great superintendent (Victor Mothershead) – he’s brought everything back to life. This is the best I’ve seen the course look (in my four years working here). Victor has really done an excellent job.” As for the 18-hole miniature golf course, Fulmer said

the rarely used tennis courts woulnd be re-purposed to give the club a more family-oriented atmosphere. “You have to start golfers young,” Fulmer said. Fulmer believes the course will benefit from the family atmosphere among the ownership and employees at Olde Beaufort Golf Club. “It’s a big happy family and team,” Fulmer said. “We all work together for the same goals.”

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

Beaufort High runners claim all-state honors Both the boys and girls school records fell and five Beaufort High runners earned all-state recognition at the Class 4A Cross Country State Championships Nov. 19 in Camden. Beaufort’s boys finished fourth overall and had three runners in the top 12, led by runner-up Marlon Belden, who finished in a school-record 15:10 but didn’t have quite enough kick to catch Greer’s Coen Roberts down the stretch. Teammate Nash Mills (16:09) placed 10th, and Maxwell Davis (16:15) was 12th. Charlie Bennett (75th, 18:00) and Connor Eby (81st, 18:08) rounded out the scoring for the Eagles. Beaufort’s girls placed eighth

among 18 teams, as Shannon Smith (18:45) and Charlize Antia (18:51) finished second and third behind champion Mari Cagle Lockhart of Daniel, who finished in 18:16. Smith reestablished the program record with her 5K time. Anna Brown was 36th in 20:37, and Isabel Vega (97th, 22:48) and Katelyn Roberts (125th, 24:16) rounded out the Eagles’ scoring. Hilton Head High’s girls won the team title, posting a team total of 61 points to easily defeat runner-up Greenville (92) and earn their first Class 4A title and their sixth overall. HHIHS won five Class 3A titles in an eight-year stretch from 2008-15.

Beaufort High Eagles open with tourney split Beaufort High’s boys basketball team went 1-1 in a preseason tournament at Bishop England over the weekend to tipoff coach Jeremy Huff’s first season at the helm.

The Eagles opened with a 48-28 loss to St. Joseph’s, as they shot just 20 percent from the floor and dug an early hole. Malcolm Murray led Beaufort with 8 points, and

Zyrin Odom added 6. Beaufort bounced back for a 7549 victory over Palmetto Scholars, as four Eagles scored in double figures. Jamaad Rivers led the way

FOOD LUNCH BUNCH

The Lunch Bunch goes Greek MARGARET EVANS

Dolmades

inter blew in early the day the Lunch Bunch gathered at Mezes Mediterranean Grill downtown. Outside it was cold and gray, but we were cozy at our corner table looking out on Port Republic Street. Our server, Michelle, brought hot tea with honey and lemon, along with a radiant smile, and we warmed right up. Though we’d all had dinner at Mezes, the restaurant only recently opened for lunch, so this would be an adventure. Even the menu was new. We started with an array of appetizers, and had we known how fantastic they’d be – and fantastically filling – we might have stopped there. But probably not. After all, we are the Lunch Bunch. We have obligations. Dawn had heard good things about the Shrimp Santorini, Jeff wanted to try the Hummus and the Dolmades, and we all agreed it’s just not a trip to Mezes – day or night – without the Saganaki (i.e. flaming cheese). “We have to import that kefalotiri cheese,” said chef Jim Tsironikes, as we marveled over its gooey, crusty perfection. “You can’t just go out and buy it at Publix.” Jim is also co-owner of the restaurant, along with his

Gyro Pita cousin George Babalis. We ooh’d and ah’d over all the apps; I think the flaming cheese was the table favorite, but the Shrimp Santorini was a close second. The most exotic – i.e. Greek – of the appetizers were the Dolmades, hand-wrapped grape leaves stuffed with ground beef, lamb and rice, drizzled with egg lemon sauce. I could have happily eaten a few of those and been done for the day. But again, duty called. The entrees had arrived. My Vegetable Pita was stuffed full of goodness – grilled zucchini, eggplant, onion, mushrooms, peppers and hummus. Thanks to the apps, I was full before I started, but that didn’t stop me from doing some serious damage. I earned imagined virtue points by discarding the pita about halfway through and eating

the grilled veggies with my fork. Yum. Meanwhile, Betty was exploring her Beet Salad. She was surprised to discover it was “all beets” – no lettuce on the bottom – lightly mixed in Greek yogurt, with garlic, olive oil and walnuts. I recommend ordering this salad only if you really like beets. (Fortunately, Betty does!) Dawn ordered the Greek Salad, which was “classic” in the best sense of the word – tomato, pepperoncini, cucumber, onion, olives, feta ... and, yes, lettuce. Both Betty and Dawn had soup with their salad. It was that kind of day. Betty tried the Yia Yia’s Avgolemono – traditional Greek egg-lemon soup with chicken and rice – and declared, “it tastes like fall.” (That’s a good thing!) Not to be outdone, Dawn said the Creamy Roasted Squash Chicken Soup “tastes

like comfort.” I found myself with a raging case of soup envy. Jeff loved his Gyro Pita, which Mezes calls “traditional” because it’s made with pork. That’s right, pork. According to Chef Jim – who is actually Greek – legit Gyros are made with pork or chicken, not lamb. (“That’s a Chicago Gyro,” he said, “and it’s about 80 percent fat.”) Who knew? Mindy went “traditional” Greek, too, with the Spanikopita – spinach and feta cheese wrapped in filo – calling it flaky and delicious. Did I mention that almost every entrée comes with fries? Yes, French fries. We weren’t complaining – they’re great fries – but we were curious, so we asked Chef Jim about the connection. As it turns out, while French fries aren’t exactly Greek – they’re French, silly – in Greece, they

Baklava serve fries with everything. Again, who knew? I’m telling you, this was more than just a meal; it was a cultural experience. Alas, all good cultural experiences must come to an end, and so it was with this one. Feeling full, fat, and finished, we hoped to slink out of Mezes without the temptation of dessert, but that is not the Greek way. Despite our protests, a large slice of Baklava arrived at the table, and it just seemed rude to decline. We each had a bite – of course it was fab; it’s Baklava – then said our thanks and farewells as quickly as possible, lest something even more decadent should be materializing in the kitchen. We left in agreement that

Cooler weather is on the way.

VOICES

Have women at The Citadel changed the men?

hen I was at The Citadel, there were few college women in Charleston. Yes, there was the College of Charleston, but in those days there might have been 100 co-eds on that campus. There were another 50 or so women at Ashley Hall; and perhaps another 50 at the Naval Base. If one wanted a tactile relationship one had to travel to Columbia, Greenville or even farther. If one wanted to sustain a long-distance relationship, one had to write letters. And letter writing, especially that first year when we found ourselves in a hell on earth, came naturally to me. In fact, I became an unpaid “consultant” to my less-than-literate classmates, who were desperate to write personal, intimate remarks to women at Converse, Winthrop and Mary Washington. I ghost-wrote letters

SCOTT GRABER

because I wanted to be popular, but I actually enjoyed telling stories about midnight “sweat parties,” running through the campus before dawn and memorializing the indiscriminate, indigenous violence that was happening in the barracks. As time went on, my talent came to the attention of the upperclassmen, and I was ordered to write (their girlfriends) about their manliness and their magnificence. Soon, however, they wanted words of romance and seduction that they would not, or could not, manufacture on their own.

I knew enough about (romantic) letter writing to understand the need for details. One needed to know the color of the girl’s eyes; the way she cut her hair; the perfume she used. As time passed I became emboldened. “How many times, sir, have you been intimate with Miss Claire?” “Who the hell do you think you are smack-head!” was usually the cadet’s reply. “No way are we going into that stuff.” “The smack-head needs to have details if the smackhead is to be persuasive, sir.” “Jesus Christ!” the senior would blurt-out, “We’ve done it four times.” “Would that be full-on frontal or something ...” “Get the hell out of my room you little pervert …” And though I would scurry out the door, it was usually a matter of minutes before the cadet would

come to my room, admitting “We’ve never had what you call, ‘full-on frontal. “Are you happy now? Are you satisfied you little scumbag. Now write the damned letter.” You may think that this lack of experience was rare at the Citadel. But if one remembers reading My Losing Season by Pat Conroy — my classmate and contemporary — there was very little sex going on in his life. This is not to say Pat didn’t think about sex at The Citadel — he was just too played-out from parades, basketball practice and the fill-every-moment-with-activity formula then in vogue. Cadets not only contemplated sex; but we endlessly planned the four or five big weekends when girls would fly into Charleston for a formal dance — called a “hop” — preceded by a parade. We thought about how to get the girls to Charleston;

where they would stay; and how we would pay for the stuffed flounder at Henry’s or Marianne’s. But we were also figuring out what we would say, or do, while they were in town. Would there be a declaration of love? The giving of a necklace? Would there be sex? In those days there was a formal dance on Friday night; then on Saturday night a party on the pier at Folly Beach. Up until Saturday night things were ceremonial — often involving swords, scarlet sashes and dance cards. But the party at Folly was legendary for the drinking, for the Animal House-quality behavior, for the number of cadets (or their dates) who ended up in the Atlantic Ocean. Often — not always — carefully nurtured relationships came crashing down during or after the party at Folly.

I know this is where I provide a story involving the removal of trousers, the exposure of buttocks, and vomit. Always there is vomit. But I won’t go into those weeds right now. Not here. My point is that there was little everyday interaction with girls when I was at the military college. And as I sit next to my carefully tended fire, I wonder if the 500 women graduated since 1999 have changed the behavior of the boys. More to the point, I wonder if the daily presence of women has changed the logistics of dating, or changed how cadets deal with women in a larger sense. I’ve got to think things are better — the desperation gone — but one never knows. Scott Graber is a lawyer, novelist, veteran columnist and longtime resident of Port Royal.

When your best family gathering is an unintended pajama party

ave you ever had one of those evenings when you go out to have a drink and run into some friends you have not seen for a while? The four of you decide to have dinner together when another couple walks in and you get a bigger table. Suddenly, what was supposed to be a quiet drink at the bar turns into a party with friends. These kind of unplanned get togethers are sometimes the very best. I had one of those recently while visiting family. It was not a holiday, or a rainy day, or a sick day. It was just

LEE SCOTT

Now what?

highlighting daily life observations

one of those mornings when nothing was planned, and each of the family members wanted to sit around and chat. Normally, when you have company over, it seems like there is so much to do and

everything is arranged. But on this Friday morning the schedule was clear. And so, we had an impromptu pajama party. It started around 6 a.m., when my daughter smelled the coffee brewing. I was wearing a crazy pair of pajamas and a new long pink bathrobe and fluffy slippers. The temperature had dropped the night before and my southern blood was not adapting to the 43-degree weather. She found me standing on the forced air vent on the kitchen floor with the warm air blowing up my bathrobe.

I was in heaven. I mean, a fresh cup of coffee and a toasty vent. She grabbed her coffee and bumped me away. “My turn!” she said as she stood on the vent. We chatted for a while when we heard little feet, and her son walked in and spotted the wide legged pajamas as the warm air blew up my daughter’s legs. “My turn!” said her 10-year-old as he hugged her tightly and pushed her off. It was then we heard heavy feet coming down the stairs. It was the dog. He was not too thrilled about

the warm vent, but wanted to go out and so, young grandson got bumped to walk the dog, and southern-blooded Grandma got back on. Soon it was the granddaughter’s turn, but first she asked to borrow my bathrobe since it looked like some ballgown as it billowed out from the warm air. Before long we had “asked Google” to play some music during breakfast and sat around the table chatting. Then my daughter looked at the clock and said, “It’s almost time for lunch. Get your showers in and let’s go

get something to eat.” We had spent six hours just sitting around and enjoying one another’s company. So, if you have visitors coming for the holidays, may I suggest you “plan” an unscheduled day. It may turn out to be your best pajama party ever. Lee Scott, a writer and recent retiree, shares her everyday observations about life after career.
