City council seat is up for grabs By Sally Mahan
As part of our ongoing series on the local questions and candidates on the Nov. 8 ballot, we look at the election of an at-large nonpartisan candidate to the Beaufort City Council. The incumbent, Mike McFee, has two challengers: Nannette Burgess Brown Sutton and David Taub. The council is made up of five members, including the mayor. All are elected at-large to fouryear, staggered terms, with elections held every two years. Members elect a mayor pro tem from within the body to serve in the absence of the mayor. The council meets the sec-
ond and fourth Tuesday of every a month for regular meetings and the second, third and fourth Tuesdays of every month for work sessions. They make about $4,800 a year, although the mayor earns about $1,200 more per year. For a look at the three candidates, see page A7. Here’s a few things to consider before going to the polls. Voter registration It’s imperative to know whether you are registered to vote. The deadline has passed to register, but if you’re unsure of your status, visit www.bcgov.vote and scroll down to the red, white and blue “Vote” but-
ton or call 843-255-6900. Voting times The polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 8. As long as you are in line by 7 p.m. you cannot be denied the right to vote. If it’s a minute past that time, you will have lost your chance. Polling places Make sure you know your polling place before heading out on Nov. 8.

POLICE BLOTTER Woman is killed, boyfriend is charged
A Lady’s Island woman was killed on Oct. 29, and her boyfriend is being charged with murder. Just after midnight on Oct. 29, Beaufort County Sheriff 's Office deputies were dispatched to Little Capers Road on Lady’s Island on a report of a female gunshot victim. Upon their arrival, deputies found Eulia Moon, 47, had been shot while sitting inside a vehicle outside of Jamie Robinson 44 Little Capers Road. Moon’s boyfriend, Jamie Robinson, 44, had fled the area prior to their arrival. Emergency medical services arrived and transported Moon to Beaufort Memorial Hospital, where physicians decided she should be flown to the Medical University of South Carolina for further treatment. While the investigation was still unfolding on Little Capers Road, emergency dispatch received a call that Robinson was at a residence on Sams Point Road. Sheriff ’s deputies and investigators immediately responded to the Sams Point Road residence, where they located and detained Robinson. According to the sheriff ’s office, he was interviewed by investigators and provided an account that contradicted evidence found at the scene on Little Capers Road and statements from other witnesses. Following his interview, Robinson was arrested on charges of attempted murder and was taken to the Beaufort County Detention Center. A short time later, the Beaufort County Coroner’s Office said Moon had died as result of the gunshot wound while at MUSC. Charges against Robinson were then upgraded to murder. Anyone with information regarding Moon’s death is urged to contact Staff Sgt. Adam Zsamar at 843-255-3408 or CrimeStoppers 1-888-CrimeSC to remain anonymous and for a possible reward.
After obtaining an undisclosed amount of cash from a teller at gunpoint, the man left in a small silver in color vehicle with tinted windows. No one was injured during the incident. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Beaufort County Sheriff 's Office Emergency Dispatch 911 or CrimeStoppers 1-888-CrimeSC to remain anonymous and for possible reward.

DISCLAIMER
Burton Firefighters rescued occupants from a motor vehicle accident recently on Robert Smalls Parkway in a late night collision on the Broad River Bridge. The two-vehicle accident resulted in heavy damage to both vehicles, a Dodge Charger and a Kia Optima, with three occupants trapped inside the Charger. Firefighters were able to rescue the trapped occupants, who suffered potentially serious injuries. Six people were transported to Beaufort Memorial Hospital from the wreck, including a 4-year-old child. The northbound lane of the Broad River Bridge was closed for approximately 45 minutes while emergency crews rescued the occupants, assisted the injured and removed roadway hazards. Burton fire officials stress the importance of pulling your vehicle off of the side of the road, or into the breakdown lane, if you’re experiencing mechanical difficulties with your vehicle. This is the second motor vehicle accident in one week in which occupants needed to be rescued by firefighters. On Oct. 21, Burton fire crews rescued a trapped female driver involved in a two-vehicle accident on Robert Smalls Parkway by Old Jericho Road.

Charitable foundation donates $4,000 to YMCA
The Wardle Family YMCA of Beaufort County received a grant donation in the amount of $4,000 from Merrill Lynch Beaufort/US Trust/Bank of America Charitable Foundation Inc. This grant will be used to support the YMCA’s dinner program to serve more low-income youth that participate in youth development programs at five additional after-school program sites. The Y after-school program targets low-income families and youth with low test scores. While primary funding is spent on educational supplies and staffing to catch up students to grade-level or maintain program participants at grade-level, little funds are left over for the nutritional needs of these underserved youth. “We are grateful for the support of Merrill Lynch Beaufort/Bank of America in addressing childhood hunger in our community,” said Michael Bostwick, YMCA CEO. “During the 2015-2016 school year we served over 18,000 meals to low-income after-school program participants. This generous $4,000 grant will allow the Y to continue to provide free healthy meals to kids ages 3-13 in our community.”
For more information, contact the YMCA at 843-522-9622 or visit www.ymcabeaufortcounty.com.
Illegal signs are popping up in Bluffton
Since Hurricane Matthew came through Bluffton, more and more temporary business signs are starting to be seen around town, according to a Bluffton release. The problem is that the majority of these temporary signs are illegal. According to the town of Bluffton Unified Development Ordinance Article 5.13, all temporary signs must be affiliated with a business that already has a town of Bluffton business license. Most signs that have been placed recently are by businesses that are not licensed. If a licensed business would like to display a temporary sign, it must receive a special permit through the town’s Growth Management Department. The town UDO states: “Temporary signs announcing a sale, promotion, civic, philanthropic, educational religious, or other special event shall require the issuance of a Temporary Sign Permit. The permit shall state the length of time any such sign may be displayed, and all such signs shall

McFee: Let's continue the good work we are doing FEMA Beaufort is my hometown and has been very good to me. When I first decided to run for office, I felt I had much to contribute, having always been very engaged in the community. I served as chairman Mike McFee of the Palmetto Chapter American Red Cross, Residential Campaigns for United Way of the Lowcountry and board chair for the Greater Beaufort Chamber of Commerce and USC Small Business Development Advisory Board. Over the last years, I am pleased to say that the city is very financially sound, with five
years of excellence in accounting practices, AA rating with Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s, and enjoys the highest credit bond rating of a city our size. Fiscally responsibility means much more than just holding the line on taxes. Responsible planning and thoughtful and deliberate action translate into a viable and sustainable future and positive growth for the city. Twenty years ago, the city had no long-term Capital Improvement Plan, no vision as to how the city would look, or perform, in five or 10 years. Today we have a nationally acclaimed Civic Master Plan, and a long-range Capital Plan for our assets and civic spaces.
Additionally, we have partnered with the Charleston Digital Corridor to develop the Beaufort Digital Corridor and relationships with the Don Ryan Center for Innovation, to grow our tech business base and retain some of our younger talented population that over the years have had to relocate to find viable jobs. We are also implementing incentives in our downtown to help encourage rejuvenation of important neighborhoods that have vacant and abandoned homes, both important aspects of growing our population base and expanding our economic diversity. Join me in promoting this good work on Nov. 8.
Sutton: City should be run like a business I'm running for council because I believe in public service and I want to represent the city as a longtime citizen, hometown girl and business owner. I've been civically involved for 16 years and eight of those years attended Beaufort City Council meetings. Attending council meetings provided a great unexpected education in how our municipality works and the complexity of small town politics. I believe the city is in good financial shape and being managed well. We are fortunate to have one of the best city managers we have had in some time who continues to clearly and professionally manage the difficult task of providing quality services with marginal funding. Thank you Bill Prokop. Bill and his staff have leveraged your tax revenue to get the most out of every dollar. Many capital improvements completed in recent years have been funded by up to 75 percent in grant funding, allowing for the completion of projects
without raising taxes. I've sustained a small business for 16 years in downtown Beaufort so I know what it means to run a business and that's how the city should be run, like a business. Some of the issues I believe that are important are regional growth and its impact on our infrastructure. Our city is directly impacted by the increase in development and the changes in traffic volumes on our roadways. I believe the city of Beaufort must continue to be well represented during all discussions related to land use, annexation and development. I believe it's important that local governments recognize the value that quality in-fill development can bring to neighborhoods. In-fill development utilizes existing infrastructure and services. We must also broaden the city’s tax base. By broadening the tax base within existing city corporate boundaries we are able to provide continued quality service to our citizens
and visitors without adding additional unintended impacts. I believe that in-fill growth is smart growth and I will conNannette tinue working Brown Sutton diligently to broaden our tax base, which then enables us to lower taxes. The bottom line is that with more payers into our system we can afford to lower costs, which relates to lower tax needs. Economic development is another issue. Beaufort is no different than the larger community around us in that we need more job opportunities beyond what we have now. We need higher paying jobs, jobs that will attract younger citizens and diversify our workforce. Simply put, we need to work harder at giving young people a reason to stay and raise their families in Beaufort. Another important issue facing
Beaufort is the vulnerability of our electrical distribution system to coastal storms. Hurricane Matthew clearly demonstrated that we must continue the discussion on how the service is provided including demanding the burial of the power lines. With continued use of the NSSF, Non Standard Service Franchise agreement, we can work towards getting the difficult job of burying lines, but it will take time. Currently there is over $1.7 million being set aside over the next eight years that may be used with other non-tax dollars to accomplish the work in our neighborhoods. I learned some important lessons attending eight years of city council meetings. One is that there are always two sides to every story. The other is you have to do your homework. I will do the homework, but most importantly I'm not a politician and I will always tell you the real story. Photo of Nannette Brown Sutton by Susan Deloach.
Taub: Experience, leadership are needed Let’s get back to some common sense in government. As your former mayor, I have a long track record of effective leadership, sound judgment, and extensive experience in the public arena that proves my commitment to responsible governance. For almost 10 years, I never raised your taxes; didn’t assume outrageous debt; introduced community policing; always protected our residential neighborhoods and our precious Historic District; gave Mossy Oaks its sidewalks; gave downtown its Street Scape; and replaced an antiquated and smelly sewer plant for a new state-of-the-art one outside the city and got Southside Park in the deal. I believe I served you well as mayor, and I have several ideas for serving you again if you entrust me with your vote. I have three priorities: 1. Creating a business friendly environment that encourages creation of new businesses and expansion of existing ones, which includes simplifying the review/approval/permitting of new businesses to encourage them to succeed, not drown them in red tape. 2. Good financial decisions without raising taxes. 3. Preservation of existing neighborhoods, our parks and the Historic District. Beaufort needs to live within its means just like your households. However, in recent years it has not done that. The cost of government has doubled since I was mayor, but the population has only increased by about 550 people. Beaufort has taken on so much debt, much due to extravagant spending, that recently it’s been paying $1.5 million every year for principal and interest.
Important to a healthy business climate is not adopting taxes that penalize business. But recently, council established a “special ‘tax’ district” for all Beaufort’s SCE&G customers. Soon, everyone will be charged David Taub a 40 percent increase in the franchise fee (=tax), the highest in South Carolina. This tax increase will start in about six months and last 84 long months, raising $2.8 million in new taxes. This will negatively impact Marine Corps Air Station, Beaufort Memorial Hospital, City Hall, County Government complex, every school, every church, every business and every residential customer in Beaufort! Beaufort Memorial Hospital will pay an additional $135,000-$150,000 for this new tax, and must generate an additional $900,000 to offset it. But this new tax was not necessary. When I was mayor, Beaufort joined with SCE&G in a new program, where we would share costs equally on “special projects.” If this program had been used, SCE&G would have contributed $985,000 more than Beaufort will get under its “tax the citizens” approach. We must avoid wasteful spending and poor decisions like paying over $2 million to acquire a failed commerce park that hasn’t earned a penny. Common sense is trading an unsuccessful commercial venture for more community-based police. Or, paying almost $2 million of your tax dollars to buy a flawed Master Plan and new zoning. So what was so terribly broken in
Beaufort that council spent so many of your tax dollars to fix? The simple, common sense answer is that there was no problem to fix. Beaufort’s current zoning is perfectly adequate to preserve our long-standing residential neighborhoods and the Historic District. We should not discard our current codes that have served so well for over half a century and replace them “lock, stock and barrel” with a flawed “experiment” that could make neighborhoods such as Mossy Oaks, 100 Pines, The Old Commons and others into something we won’t recognize? Also included in this super-expensive “master” plan is a proposal to give away part of the Waterfront Park to private developers to create a monstrosity called River Place, a private development that included a hotel, condominiums, restaurants, and retail businesses — a virtual private community deep in the heart and soul of Beaufort. This ill-conceived idea was absolutely the worst public policy imaginable: gift the inheritance of all our citizens to private concerns for an uncertain and questionable venture of speculative value. I am proud to have been among the leaders of our citizens’ courageous battle to stop this outrage. I pledge never to agree to give away or sell one inch of Beaufort’s patrimony. It is the citizens’ park, then, now and forever. Extravagant spending by council must stop and I pledge to oppose foolish waste of your precious taxes. I know how to do these things. As your mayor, I demonstrated I can make significant contributions to governance by a record of effective leadership, sound judgment and good old Southern common sense.

p.m. Thursday and Friday and10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday. In other Hurricane Matthew recovery news: • FEMA has approved Beaufort County’s request for private property debris removal from private roads and rights-of-way under FEMA’s Public Assistance Program. “This approval is exceptional news for Beaufort County,” said Beaufort County Council Chairman Paul Sommerville. “Without FEMA’s assistance, we would be looking at a bill of more than $10 million.” The terms of FEMA’s approval require the county to provide a full roster of all private roads it enters to remove debris, and to receive completed right-ofentry documentation. Debris from vacant lots, concrete slabs and commercial properties and their parking lots are not approved for private property debris removal under the Public Assistance Program. • The four Beaufort County Convenience Centers – Bluffton, Hilton Head Island, Shanklin and St. Helena – have resumed allowing trailers of non-storm generated debris. Trailers containing construction debris (Class 2) can be no larger than 5-by-8 feet. Centers are not taking Class 1 waste (yard debris). Residents should continue to sort yard debris (Class 1) and storm-generated construction debris (Class 2) into separate piles and leave them on the right-ofway at their residence. Debris in biodegradable paper bags will also be picked up. • Contractors working to move storm-generated debris are not allowed to dump processed material from private property onto the right-of-way. Any such debris that has been processed or grinded into mulch needs to be delivered to an approved landfill or processing facility for disposal at the owner’s expense. “The law regulates the disposal of such waste to protect the health of our residents,” said Jim Minor, Beaufort County Solid Waste and Recycling director/debris manager. “We expect and encourage all contractors to ensure that they are following state laws and guidelines.” • Funds are still needed to help victims of the hurricane. United Way of the Lowcountry (UWLC) has taken an additional measure to provide assistance to individuals affected by allocating an additional $100,000 from its endowment fund to current UWLC partner agencies providing emergency assistance for basic needs in Beaufort and Jasper counties. "Since Hurricane Matthew, we have seen the needs in our community increase exponentially," said Tina Lamb Gentry, president & CEO, United Way of the Lowcountry. "People who have never requested assistance in the past are now in need, and as you can imagine, this has put a strain on our front-line partner agencies." Visit www.uwlowcountry.org.
Cirque du Soleil meets Lowcountry at the Beaux Arts Ball By Kat Walsh
You may not recognize Tabby Place on Saturday, Nov. 12, as it is transformed into “a celebration of the senses and emotions” for the Beaufort Art Council’s Beaux Arts Ball. While Beaufort is admittedly rich in arts and culture, this is likely the first time an event like this has come to town. Event planner Katie
Huebel helped the council bring the theme – an interactive flowing evening of the arts – to life. “As I understood more and more about the arts council, it dawned on me that this needs to be an event that highlights all kinds of artistic values in the area,” she said. Beaux arts – French for fine arts – first appeared as a fine arts ball in Paris in the 1900s and was an im-
mediate sensation and that soon spread worldwide. In keeping with that tradition, the BAC’s Beaux Arts Ball will be an evening of art, music, design and flavor - part Cirque du Soleil, part Lowcountry. There will be performing artists – a contortionist, aerialist and flame breathers. There will be craft artists demonstrating their craft and offering items for auction.
“The evening will be an opportunity to experience everything through an artistic lens,” said Delene Miller, executive director of the Beaufort Arts Council. At individual stations, chefs will create and explain their culinary masterpieces, everything from signature cocktails to hors d’oeuvres and desserts. Led by event ambassadors, the
silent auction will also be interactive. Of course, there will be plenty of time for socializing and dancing. The Beaux Arts Ball will take place from 7-11 p.m. at Tabby Place in downtown Beaufort. All proceeds raised by the ball will go to supporting artists and arts education through Beaufort Arts Council programs and services. For tickets, visit www.bacbeauxarts.com. NOVEMBER 3 - 9, 2016

Dr. Mark S. Siegel is the Medical Director at Sea Island Ophthalmology on Ribaut Road in Beaufort. Visit www.seaislandophthalmology. com.
Since dry eye is pretty complex, and there is no cure, it seems reasonable that by treating the inflammation, one can improve some of the symptoms. A study of more than 32,000 women from the Women’s Health Study published in 2005 found those who consumed the most omega-3 fats from fish had a 17 percent lower risk of dry eye, compared with women who ate little or no seafood. More recently, a study in the International Journal of Ophthalmology concluded omega-3 fatty acids have a definite role for dry eye syndrome. Omega-3 oils may also help in the treatment of other eye diseases. The oils may reduce growth of abnormal blood vessels that occur in age-related macular degeneration and other retinal vascularization diseases. Talk to your doctor to find out whether omega-3 supplements are right for you.
HEALTH BRIEFS Lyme disease meeting to be held Nov. 9
The next scheduled meeting of the Lowcountry SC Lyme Disease Support Group will take place from 6-8 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 9, at the Freedom Life Church Offices at 56 Persimmons St. in Bluffton. The group has been formed for the support of those who are currently fighting Lyme disease, those who are currently in remission and for their families and caregivers. Each month features a special guest speaker who focuses on conventional and alternative methods to treating Lyme cisease. This month’s speaker will be 16-year-old Lyme Princess Warrior Sammie (Sammie Moss), and her mother, Kym Manglona. Sammie had a very long journey with the illness and multiple co-infections. After treatment failed with several doctors in the states, Sammie and mom, Kym, decided to go a very unconventional route in medicine. After completing this trial, Sammie is now in remission. Lyme disease is caused by the transfer of bacterium from the bites of ticks. According to the Centers for Disease Control, Lyme disease is the fastest growing vector-borne infectious disease in the United States. The number of cases reported annually has increased nearly 25-fold since national surveillance began in 1982. Visit www.ilads.org.
Dr. Marc New joins BMH medical group
Beaufort Memorial Hospital has added a board-certified gastroenterologist with over 25 years experience to the medical staff at Lowcountry Medical Group. Dr. Marc D. New is now seeing patients at the busy multi-specialty practice at 300 Midtown Drive, near the Parris Island Marine Corps Recruit Depot. Prior to joining the BMH team, New was
in private practice for 18 years at Elms Digestive Disease Specialists in North Charleston. He began his career as a partner in a doctors’ clinic in Vero Beach, Fla., and was a sole proprietor for two years in Port St. Lucie and Stuart, Fla., before moving to South Carolina. New graduated from the College of Charleston in 1984 and went on to earn his doctorate in medicine from the Medical University of South Carolina. He completed his residency in internal medicine at Emo- Dr. Marc New ry University and his fellowship training in gastroenterology in 1993 at the Medical College of Georgia. At Lowcountry Medical Group, he will be working with GI specialists Drs. John Crisologo and Richard Stewart, as well as Kimberly Thorpe, PA-C, and Bonnie Mohler, CRN-P. The practice also includes primary care physicians and specialists in gynecology, cardiology and neurology. For more information on the practice, visit beaufortmemorial.org.

While artificial tears or ointments are a common treatment for dry eye, studies suggest consuming omega-3 fatty acid supplements may also provide relief. Omega-3 oils appear to improve function in the eye’s meibomian glands, which produce the oily part of tears. Improved function of those glands can ease dry eye symptoms. Dry eye becomes more common as a person ages. The problem develops when the eye cannot maintain a healthy coating of tears. Dry eye can be caused by hormonal changes brought on by menopause. There are a number of other causes, including a dry environment or workplace (such as wind or air conditioning), sun exposure, smoking or secondhand smoke exposure and many medications. The National Eye Institute notes that in some patients with dry eye, supplements or dietary sources of omega-3 fatty acids (such as tuna fish) may decrease symptoms of irritation. Many studies have shown that the omega-3s in fish oil are believed to reduce inflammation. If inflammation of the eyelids or surfaces of the eye worsens dry eye, it makes sense that a supplement could help the problem.

My Vote for City Council 2016 Mike Sutton served on City Council from 2006-2014 and currently serves as vice chairman of the City’s Redevelopment Commission. Email Mike at mikesutton@hargray.com 10 years ago when you elected me to council I entered the office under a cloud of public distrust in our leadership. The annexation wars were upon us and civility took a back seat to the power struggle being played out behind the scenes. It appeared our city was adrift with leadership not able or un-willing to use honesty and integrity to set our course. That was then and this is now and we must realize that the issues facing our city today did not occur overnight. Clearly a lack of foresight from the past explains how by the end of the 1990’s we ended up without a police department building and were forced to use an outdated post office for a city hall. It may explain why our City courts were being evicted from leased space and why we had to rely on sanitation service from a failing public works department that was under staffed, over worked, and underfunded not to mention needed inmates from the county jail riding the trucks. This failure to understand the importance of protecting the brick and mortar while planning for the future had and continues to have an economic impact on our city. I believe we must be careful not to elect those seeking office whom are unwilling to recognize the importance of properly funding our city. In this election year I will support the two candidates whom I believe will continue the difficult work required to turn the tide on past years of neglected infrastructure and maintenance. My first vote will go to my wife Nan Brown Sutton. I’m excited that Nan decided to make a run as she will bring a fresh level of genuine and honest caring for her city while representing all neighborhoods with unquestionable integrity. She is a perfect candidate running for the right reasons.
NAN BROWN
SUTTON HONESTY • INTEGRITY • LEADERSHIP
Mike McFee will get my second vote as I know his character and his love for our city. Looking back over the last eight years I believe that the council with Mike McFee has done more for our city with less funding than any council before them. Because of the collective efforts of this civil and thoughtful council our city has begun to see results in rebuilding our city’s tax base allowing us to improve our public infrastructure. We need Mike Mcfee on council to continue the work. I did not choose David Taub whom served our city in both the capacity of council member and Mayor. I will not vote for David because I believe his overtly conservative ideals, voting patterns, and lack of forethought during his past terms in office were critical in undermining the physical and economic health of our city. David’s leadership skills and his boastful and at times condescending attitude add little to solving the real issues facing the city of Beaufort.

LUNCH BUNCH
Southern Graces Bistro is all about Southern charm Editor’s note: Members of our staff, aka the Lunch Bunch, go out to lunch to give you the rundown on the food and the atmosphere at local restaurants (OK, admittedly we also like to go out to eat, so win-win!). This week: Southern Graces Bistro.
By Sally Mahan
Beaufort truly evokes the Old South, where grace and manners were paramount, where homemade Southern delicacies were served on the best china on spotless white linen-covered tables. Such is the feel at Southern Graces Bistro at the Beaufort Inn at 809 Port Republic St. in the heart of historic downtown. Southern Graces was founded in 2002 by Bethany Boles Hewitt, who combined her passions for food, flowers and parties. It’s a step back in time as you make your way up a wide staircase framed by a white-railed porch. Diners and guests are ushered into the building’s lobby, a lush parlor-like room with glittering chandeliers, soft chairs and lovely décor. Down the hall is the restaurant, which is actually two rooms, one the Magnolia Dining Room and the other the intimate Library. In the Magnolia room, there is beautifully detailed woodwork, etched glass, a fireplace and lovely table settings with delicate, old-fashioned rose-patterned china. We knew we were in for a treat due to the Bistro’s highly acclaimed chef, Christopher Hewitt, who is known for his upscale contemporary Southern gastronomy To start our lunch, we were treated to light-as-air popovers as we looked over the menu. Appetizers include a simply amazing Beaufort Bay Shrimp Wrap stuffed with crab and sausage with a sweet red pepper aioli sauce. The Fried Green Tomatoes are addictive and the She Crab Soup has chunks of succulent crab meat in the creamy

broth and is topped with pimento cheese straws. The lunch dishes were perfectly presented. I ordered the Bistro Salad, which has greens, bleu cheese, crispy onions topped with pieces of tender steak. It was delicious. One of our group ordered the Crab Cake & Citrus Salad, which has lump crabcake served atop mixed greens, smoked gouda, dried cranberries, balsamic pecans and Mandarin oranges with a citrus marmalade vinaigrette. My lunch mate said was it was the “best salad I’ve ever eaten.” Another person in our group ordered the pot roast with carrots and whipped mashed potatoes. After tasting it, I took two orders home for dinner. Southern Graces also offers true Southern delicacies dialed up a notch, like its fried chicken and mashed potatoes, or its shrimp and unbelievably creamy sweet potato grits. Then came the indulgence of the day: the dessert plate. We tasted the carrot cheese cake, sweet potato cheese cake, coconut cake and chocolate crème brulee. There’s simply no other way to describe them than truly, truly decadent and wonderful. Southern Graces, however, is not just for lunch. It’s a perfect place to hold an event such as a bridal shower (which was actually why we were there, to celebrate our art director, Hope Falls’, upcoming nuptials). In addition to lunch, Southern Graces also offers catering for events such as weddings, corporate events, fresh air events and more (and if you’re having an event, you could not choose better than
Southern Graces to cater it). The restaurant also offers a delightful Afternoon Teatime, with items such as tomato sandwiches, croissants, cucumber sandwiches, a wide choice of pastries (made by their own pastry chef ) and much more. The menu expands for dinner service, with Southern staples taken to the next level. Lunch is served from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday-Saturdays; Afternoon Teatime is from 2-4 p.m. Tuesday-Friday (reservations required). Dinner service starts at 5 p.m. Thursday-Saturdays. There is also a Sunday brunch from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. with a variety of delectable food stations to sample a delicious array of Southern fare. Overall, Chef Hewitt treats you to a culinary decadence at Southern

AN IN-DEPTH LOOK AT THE EVENTS AND ORGANIZATIONS THAT SHAPE OUR COMMUNITY

Golfer raises money for veteran charities
Chris Fearn was supported in his efforts to raise funds for veterans by many people throughout the community and at Dataw Island at the 2015 event. Photo provided.
Thinking of playing a round of golf over the Veterans Day holiday? While you are taking a few swings on the practice range, one very special young man will be golfing nonstop from pre-sunup until sundown in the name of veteran’s charities. Chris Fearn, assistant golf pro at Dataw Island, will for the third year embark on his now-annual Military Golf Marathon, where he hopes to complete at least 150 holes of golf in one day to raise more than $20,000 for veterans. “These men and women sacrifice so much for this country and the least we can do is do whatever we can to help in any way,” said Fearn. “Whether that is donating to a good cause or just simply being there for a veteran and telling them ‘Thank you’ for their service and sacrifice.” Fearn’s passion for helping veterans took root three years ago during his first Veterans Day Week at Dataw Island, a community which is home to many veterans and that is supportive of very many more through various projects and events. “The first Veterans Day Tournament that I witnessed at Dataw was one of the greatest things that I have ever been part of,” said Fearn. “The experience of playing with a disabled veteran is very humbling and it inspired me to want to do more; to help more.” Hence, the Military Golf Marathon was born. The event raises money in the form of per-hole and performance pledges that Fearn and his fellow staff seek from Dataw Club members as well as the community at large (call 843-8388250 for information on how to contribute). The first year, Fearn raised $13,500 for the On Course Foun-
dation; last year he raised $19,000 for the Green Beret Foundation, and this year the donation will be made to the Salute Military Golf Foundation. Teeing off at 4:30 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 11, using glow-in-thedark balls and accompanied by an entourage of Dataw Club members and veterans armed only with flashlights and smiles, Fearn hopes to again get an early start for an extended day of fundraising. In year one, some donors were a bit sticker-shocked when Fearn played more than 100 holes, but they all honored their pledges. In the second year, although donors wised up to Fearn’s amazing endurance, rain plagued the day and required “cart path only” access to most holes. Despite sprinting back and forth from the cart to take his next shot, Fearn managed to play a staggering 156 holes. “I get tired about three-quarters of the way through the day, but at that time the wounded veterans that come for the event really support me,” Fearn said. Fearn has also been honored for two years running to coach the American team in the Simpson Cup, an annual Ryder Cup-style tournament between teams of 12 injured servicemen and veterans from the USA and their British counterparts. All competitors involved in the Simpson Cup are members of the On Course Foundation – an organization that supports the recovery of wounded, injured and sick service personnel and veterans through golf. “I was surprised and completely thrilled to be asked to coach,” he said. “I’m so honored that the people who inspire me so much allowed me to coach them for this

huge tournament!” Dataw Island is abuzz with activity during the week of Veterans Day. It will host its Ninth Annual Veterans Golf Classic, an event which was started with the help of Dataw Island resident and retired U.S. Army Col. Glenn Blackburn, a Vietnam veteran and Purple Heart recipient. The Veterans Golf Classic is played by a field of 200 supporters (many of whom are themselves veterans) and 30 wounded veterans, and funds go to support the Folds of Honor and On Course foundations. The community also holds a parade with a touching color guard service, and Dataw members line the streets with thousands of miniature flags – a true site to behold, and hold a Veterans Breakfast and an honor ceremony. “I am blown away by all the support given by this community (Dataw Island).” Blackburn said. “It is wonderful to see people embrace these events and these very worthy charitable organizations. I feel humbled to be a part of it and to
have been able to watch it grow.” Dataw Island Director of Golf Dave Britton is proud of his members and staff, saying, “The support that the entire Dataw community has given the Veterans Golf Classic and all the veteran’s organizations over the years has been unbelievable.” Many Dataw residents are veterans, and many are golfers – but
these events are supported by so many people who are neither veterans or golfers, or even members; they are citizens who appreciate and honor the sacrifices made by our service people. Britton added, “It is a great honor to be involved as part of a community that has such a great heart for supporting our military."
About Dataw Island: Dataw Island is a gated golf, tennis and boating community 15 minutes outside of downtown Beaufort. The island features two recently renovated Tom Fazio and Arthur Hills golf courses, a tennis center, a Community Center with workout/massage facilities, two restaurants and croquet lawns.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK Lanitra Ferguson, a senior at Bluffton High School, is this week’s Athlete of the Week. She was nominated by coach Katlyn McCormick, who said, “I am nominating this student athlete because she has worked hard all season, progressing each week. She shows up to school and practice every day and gives it her all. “In our last match on Oct. 24 at Hilton Head High School, we, the coaches, had six individuals come up to us to compliment the growth they had seen in Lantira – she was unstoppable, both in attacking and Lanitra Ferguson blocking. She has become a quiet leader, leading by example. She is not chauvinistic, but humble. “Everything that happens on the court, whether she is near the ball or not, is always ‘My bad,’ in her words. She never brags about her kills or block; she always thinks they could be better. We tell her all the time to stop apologizing because most of the time the error really is not her fault. She constantly pushes herself to be better. “I am also nominating Lanitra because she not only pushes herself in sports, she also pushes herself in school. This semester, on top of a vigorous volleyball schedule, she is taking and succeeding in one AP class and two honors classes. She is in the top 7 percent of her class, so she has not just excelled this year, but all of her high school career.” McCormick took some time recently to answer some questions about Ferguson: Q: What sports is she involved with and what drew her to that sport? A: She tried out for volleyball because when she was in gym volleyball, the teacher said she was good and should consider trying out. After trying out, she fell in love with the game. Q: What movie inspires her as an athlete? A: The movie “Love & Basketball” inspires her because the girl in the movie kept competing, no matter what obstacles or challenges she faced. Q: What athletes does she try to emulate and why? A: Lanitra does not look up to any professional athletes. Her main inspiration and athlete she tries to emulate is teammate Shadaisha Altacho. She is a hard worker with a great attitude. Shadaisha went out at the beginning of the season with a torn ACL, MCL, and meniscus. They have been playing together since the seventh-grade. In her senior speech, Lanitra mentioned that Shadaisha is a coach and mentor to her. Q: What life lessons has she learned from sports? A: It doesn’t matter what obstacles are in front of you, you have to keep working hard; don’t let he negatives take away something you love; never doubt your capabilities.

The USCB women’s soccer team assured itself of the best overall and conference records in the program’s history with a thrilling victory, scoring the equalizer in the final 2 minutes of regulation and winning 2-1 in double overtime at Webber International. Taylor Superior netted the equalizer off a Cameron Croney-Clark corner kick in the 89th minute, and Hayley Pina struck the game-winner in the second extra period to lift the Sand Sharks in their regularseason finale. USCB (9-7-2, 5-3-2 Sun Conference) already has clinched a spot in the seven-team Sun Conference Tournament and is now assured of finishing either fourth or fifth in the league standings. The Sand Sharks currently sit fourth with 17 points – one ahead of SCAD Savannah, which had games remaining against Johnson & Wales on Saturday and Thomas on Tuesday. The Sand Sharks got off to a sluggish start and were outshot 8-5 in the first half before taking control of the match after the break. USCB dominated possession and outshot the Warriors by a substantial margin in the second half, but it was Webber International who found the net first.

efforts to improve early childhood education. • The district is dramatically expanding career and technology courses designed to prepare students for high-paying jobs and industry certifications in rapidly emerging fields. Two new high-tech facilities are at Battery Creek High and May River High. Moss also noted significant challenges that district educators face. “There are achievement gaps, here in Beaufort County and around the nation, he said. “We also have students arriving in our schools who speak no English at all, and that’s also a significant challenge for teachers. We have to do a much better job of making the teaching profession attractive and making it pay well enough so that we can attract students from colleges and universities.”
Shealy lands on Dean’s List at GSU
Georgia Southern University recently recognized nearly 200 students on the Summer 2016 semester Dean's List. Brittany Shealy of Bluffton has been named to the list for excellence in academics.

Holy Trinity builds classical library
Librarian Barbara Hathaway reads a Shakespearean play with Holy Trinity thirdgraders Cady O'Connell and Molleigh Reaves.
A classical school should have a classical library. But what should it look like? Shortly before it opened in August 2011, the Holy Trinity Classical Christian School accepted the challenge of building a classical library from scratch. With the support of a generous anonymous gift, school administrators and faculty began accumulating books, bookcases and busts and statues of prominent figures in world history who would inspire young readers. There was Shakespeare, Thomas Jefferson, Socrates, Benjamin Franklin, Plato and Aristotle, for example, all donated by grateful parents and enthusiastic faculty members. They took up positions alongside maps of Greece, donated by a trustee, and bookshelves brimming with hundreds of classical favorites: “Little Women,” “Anne of Green Gables,” “Stuart Little,” “Pilgrims Progress,” “The Last of the Mohicans,” “Adventures of Sherlock Holmes” and books on Greek, Norse and Roman myths. Today, the school library boasts an envi-
STUDENT OF THE WEEK This week’s Student of the Week is Roxana Beatriz Canas, a senior at Bluffton High School. She was nominated by teacher Deborah L. Davis, who said, “My ESOL class nominated this student as Student of the Week and I seconded it because Roxana is an academically sound 12th grade student as well as a caring individual to all in the class. Roxana always makes sure she does all of her work and turns Roxana B. Canas it in on time. She is meticulous about her writing and proofreads it to make sure it is perfect before she turns it in. Her motto this year is ‘I want to learn something new every day,’ and she is very enthusiastic about her learning. We are fortunate to have her in our ESOL 4 class." Canas took some time recently to answer a few questions: Q: What’s your favorite subject and why? A: My favorite subject is ESOL class because I really learned a lot. Now I am really good in listening, writing and speaking. I love this class because I like to learn something new. I enjoy each day in this class. Q: What are some of your accomplishments? A: One of my accomplishments is to be in the U.S.A. fighting for my dreams. Another of my accomplishments is that I have learned a lot of English. My greatest achievement will be to graduate this year. Q: What clubs and activities are you involved in? A: I am not involved in any clubs or activities this year because I need to go home and watch my three cousins after school. Q: Who do you admire and why? A: I admire my grandmother because she is a strong person. When I was a kid my mom left me, but my grandmother took me and raised me like I was one of her 11 children. She taught me the meaning of life. Q: What’s your favorite thing to do outside of school? A: My favorite thing to do outside of school is to practice my English with my three little cousins. We like to write some words and try to guess the meaning. Q: What’s your favorite movie? A: My favorite movie is “Instructions Not Included” because it lets people know how to love a child regardless of money. Q: What’s your favorite TV show? A: My favorite TV show is “Esto es Guerra” which means “This is War.” It is a competition between ladies and young men. Q: What’s your favorite music? A: My favorite music is rap and hip hop. Rap is a good way of saying my feelings and expressing my opinions. Hip hop expresses the movement of the body. When I hear this music, I feel free to do whatever I want.
able collection of nearly 3,000 volumes. In addition to the classics, there are books on virtually every element of science: trees, insects, birds, animals, vertebrates, the planets, physical science, physics and chemistry. Given the focus on a classical Christian education at Holy Trinity, it’s little wonder that two of the library’s most popular titles would be: “Quomodo Invidiosulus Nomine Grinchus Christi Natalem Abrogaveril” and “Cattus Petasatus,” both by Dr. Seuss. You may be forgiven if you don’t recognize “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” and “The Cat in the Hat” in Latin. “To open a book to an eager child is the keenest joy my heart can know,” said Barbara Hathaway, Holy Trinity’s volunteer professional librarian. Hathaway said the school employs a rigorous selection process for determining which books to add to the school library. To qualify, a book must reflect the finest classical fiction and nonfiction. It must aid in building reading skills while assisting students in building a Biblical worldview. It must inspire a passion and a respect for the love of learning and reading the great novels, poetry, stories and nonfiction. And, finally, it must support the curriculum. “Books open students’ minds to the world of knowledge in an environment that cherishes and embraces the written word in book form,” said the Rev. Chad E. Lawrence, the school headmaster.

‘Tristan und Isolde’ reopens Met HD Opera Series By Alan Schuster
To many Wagner fans, “Tristan und Isolde” is one of his finest operas, even though he referred to it as “music drama,” blending together the poetic, visual, musical and dramatic arts. Today, Wagner's total concept of art is embodied in Tristan, and often described as the beginning of modern music. From the opening chords of Tristan's motif in the prelude to Isolde's magnificent “Liebestod” (Love in Death) in the final scene, the work moves in a constant flow, consistent with his new ideal. The music is rich throughout, highlighted by Tristan/Isolde duets in acts
one and two (the great "Love Duet," one of Wagner's finest inspirations). Act I In a Middle Ages legend taking place in Cornwall, England, Isolde, an Irish Princess, is aboard a ship bound for Cornwall to marry its governor, King Marke. Her escort is Tristan, the King's loyalist and nephew. Isolde has already fallen in love with Tristan, but she compels him to take poison with her because she detests the idea of marrying the King. But her maid, Brangane, prepares a love potion instead, and by the time they reach Cornwall, they have already fallen passionately in love.
Act II While King Marke is hunting, Isolde, now his wife, meets secretly with Tristan. By chance, the King appears and laments that his nephew and wife have both betrayed him. When Tristan refuses to apologize, Melot, another loyalist to the King, rushes forward and attacks him seriously. Act III In his home castle in Brittany, Tristan remains severely wounded while being tended to by Kurwenal, his friend. Kurwenal urges Isolde to come to Tristan, but when she arrives, he has already died. King Marke also appears, having
learned that the couple had taken a love potion. When Isolde realizes that her destiny has been decided, she chooses to kill herself and join Tristan in the afterlife. The role of Isolde is an arduous one, sung by very few women today. Swedish soprano Nina Stemme is definitely one of them, having a warm, solid voice, and yet one with both lyric and dramatic qualities which let her sing not only Isolde but Madam Butterfly as well. Stuart Skelton, acknowledged as one of the finest heldentenors in opera today, is Tristan. Ekaterina Gubanova as Brangane and Rene Pape as King Mark round out the prime performers.
IF YOU GO
“Tristan und Isolde” will be presented at noon Saturday, Nov. 5, at the USCB Center for the Performing Arts. Tickets for all operas the USCB Center for the Performing Arts are now available.

Passwords cause dilemma on unplanned vacation The recent unplanned vacation (evacuation) left us in a hotel without, of all things, our Internet passwords. We had checked and double-checked our evacuation plan list before we left the house and even added a few things to take, but the “password book” never hit our radar. It was not until we got to our hotel and attempted to connect to Internet sites that we realized we had forgotten it. Here is what led us to creating the “password book”: Initially, we only had a couple of Internet passwords. There were the AOL and MSN passwords. Then came the passwords for our computers and iPads. Before we knew it, every company, like our bank, the electric company, the telephone company and any stores that we used required a login name and a unique password. Then security and hacking became an issue so we were asked to add numbers or
Now what?

“Before we knew it, every company, like our bank, the electric company, the telephone company and any stores that we used required a login name and a unique password.” symbols to our words and we even started to get rated on the strength of the password: weak, strong, stronger. Then we were asked to change our passwords on a regular basis. I know a lot of people who would use a word like Angel and then add a number. No, we were told. You
have used that word before and besides, it does not have enough letters! Or worse yet, the notice on the site reads “I’m sorry you have not logged into this site in six months and therefore you have to change your password”. These requirements led us to purchase a
business card folder. It is one of those threering binders that has plastic inserts for business cards. We filled it with cards and wrote the associated passwords. The constant changing of passwords every 30 days or 60 days, depending on the site, meant that the old passwords would get scratched out with a new one replacing it. Since I have gone through all the family names, the dogs, the cats and street names, I had to succumb to words like “Kitchencounter84$” which received a STRONG rating, but was difficult to remember. It is for these reasons that the password book exists. So now I have added another item to my checklist: the password book. And you do not have to worry about someone trying to steal our book. It is not going anywhere soon. We are still looking for the combination to the family safe.
