By Mindy Lucas Presidential candidate Kamala Harris brought her trademark “For the People” campaign to the Lowcountry, on Saturday, Oct. 5, where she spoke to several hundred people gathered at the University of South Carolina Beaufort – Bluffton campus. Despite a change in venue earlier in the week – from Beaufort to Bluffton – and a somewhat overcast, rainy day, it was an upbeat crowd, and those in attendance seemed ready to hear what the junior senator from California had to say. “I’m interested in her plat-
form and what she can do to help the current state of our country,” said Kimberly Brown, of Beaufort, as she waited for the event, held at the university’s Campus Center to start. As several hundred people packed the small room, another 75 to 100 stood out in the center’s lobby for a chance to hear Harris. An educator and school counselor, Brown said she particularly likes Harris’ stance on education and raising the salary of public school teachers. “It’s very important considering this leader has hired someone who has no public
education experience,” said Brown referring to President Trump and his controversial pick for Secretary of Education, Betsy DeVos. But even though Harris checked several boxes for her, Brown had not chosen a candidate just yet. “It’s too early,” she said, adding that she was going to see who was leading closer to the primary and would make her decision then. “We have to have the numbers and we can’t be divided,” she added. Electability is something just about every candidate passing
through Beaufort County has addressed in one way or another. Harris broached the topic toward the end of her 20-minute talk before opening the event to audience questions. “Is America ready, they say, for a woman of color to be President of the United States of America?” she asked Saturday’s audience. It was a question that received resounding applause and cheers. “This is a conversation I’ve heard take place in every campaign I have – and now here’s the operative word – won,” she

By Mindy Lucas A trooper with the S.C. Highway Patrol has been placed on administrative duty after firing his weapon following a traffic stop and vehicle pursuit, officials say. The incident occurred around 8:30 Robert p.m. on Tues- Wilson day, Oct. 1 on U.S. Highway 21 near the Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort. Trooper J.W. Ward attempted to pull over a 2007 Pontiac two-door after the driver of the car disregarded a traffic signal, according to Capt. Kelley Hughes, with the South Carolina Department of Pub-
cores of visitors, tourists and locals alike, flocked to Beaufort’s Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park on Friday and Saturday to take part in the 25th annual Beaufort Shrimp Festival.

Food Truck Festival returns to Beaufort Up to two dozen food trucks will grace the parking lot at Beaufort Town Center off Boundary Street on Saturday as the Beaufort Food Truck Festival returns. The 3rd annual event, sponsored by the Lowcountry Jaycees, runs from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and raises money for Camp Hope – a camp for kids and adults with cognitive disabilities. The festival will feature other attractions, as well, including numerous vendors, the bookmobile and live music. Pets are welcome, as long as they are on a leash. Owners must clean up after them. There is no beer tent this year, but several restaurants in the surrounding area serve alcohol.

My children have attended Beaufort County public schools for eight years. During that time, I have seen much to criticize about the school system, and I have not been afraid to be vocal about the things that are wrong. However, the school system is also doing plenty of things right. Every day, more than 22,000 children arrive at their respective schools. Regardless of the classroom conditions, more than 1,600 teachers welcome them in and teach. BCSD teachers instruct almost 13,000 students that are living in poverty, more than half the students in the district. They educate more than 3,500 students for whom English is a second language; that is about 1 out of every 6 children. It is well documented that those factors are major obstacles toward normal measures of academic achievement, i.e. standardized testing. In addition, the schools across the district have buildings in need of major repairs or renovations, outdated safety and security measures, unsafe recreational facilities, and overcrowded classrooms. As a community, we have a duty to promote the education of our youth in healthy, safe environments. I am willing to spend about $100 a year so that my children do not have to attend classes in trailers, under leaking roofs,
or with unsafe air to breathe. What is it worth to you? – Barbara Mancini, Bluffton
Eckstrom is right: Canceling Republican primary is dumb
I want to thank you for printing the op-ed by our S.C. Comptroller, Richard Eckstrom, a couple of weeks ago entitled “Canceling SC’s Republican Primary a Dumb Thing To Do.” I totally agree with all the reasons he gave for believing it was the wrong thing to do. I do NOT believe for one minute that our Republican State Executive Committee is authorized to determine whether an incumbent in ANY election has a “viable challenger.” That is the prerogative of the registered voters, and they express their opinion at the ballot box. At the time this vote was taken to dispense with the Presidential Primary, there were two opponents who had legitimately filed as candidates and another one giving every indication that he intended to file. Had there been no opponents for the President and none indicating an interest, I might not be so incensed about this action. I’ve talked with many of my conservative activists in the Republican Party and haven’t found a single person who felt this was the thing to do, so on behalf of all the “Old Guard” and the new activists who’ve seen the light, I ask that the State Executive Committee of the
Republican Party reconsider this issue and reverse their decision. This is America and we don’t choose our leaders by canceling the right to vote. – Edie Rogers, Beaufort

Ruby Tuesday’s makes Marine, service dog feel welcome
After eight months and 29,000 miles on the road, I pulled the Roadrunner RV with my full medal service dog, Marine Girl, and myself into Beaufort, S.C. to visit my son, a member of the Beaufort Police Department. “Let’s go out to dinner,” I said. “Tell you what, I’ll pay.” “Okay,” my boy said, “I know a good place to eat. Ruby Tuesday’s near Walmart.” Well, when we got there Sara, the manager on duty, and Courtney, the server, came over smiling and gave my service dog some fresh water and made my son, his wife and myself feel right at home. They even said to take our time while the gave the dog something to eat. We were given five-star treatment and, for a while, I even forgot my pain. We would all like to thank Ruby Tuesday’s for a welcome night of good food and good company. I didn’t even have to let Marine Girl clean my plate for me, … I did that all by myself. Ruby Tuesday’s was a real gem to us, and I want to thank them again. – John McIntire, USMC, Ret.
Dog wakes owner amid morning house fire If there was doubt that dogs were man’s best friend, Curly may have put them to rest early Monday morning. According to the City of Beaufort/Town of Port Royal Fire Department, Curly used his nose to repeatedly “push” on his owner, a City of Beaufort homeowner before finally waking him. The man immediately realized why his friend had been so persistent – his house was on fire. The homeowner and Curly both made it out of the house safely and called 911.

On Saturday, Harris covered a range of issues from the economy to the border crisis to gun violence and healthcare. On national security, she said, “The current Commander in Chief on the subject of the fact of Russian’s interference in the election of the President of the United States, prefers to take the word of the Russian President over the word of the American intelligence community.” On healthcare, Harris detailed her ‘Medicare for All’ plan.
“And, we’re not going to take away your choice,” she said, a difference, she noted, between her and others on the debate stage. “You want a private plan? You get that. You want a public plan? You get that. We won’t take away your choice.” But it was her humor and directness that seemed to get the most response from the crowd, particularly when talking about the President and promises made to working Americans. “Dude gotta go,” she said, to a cheering crowd.

School bond referendum public forums scheduled Beaufort County School District Superintendent Frank Rodriguez has scheduled public forums this month to brief parents and community members on the school district’s $344 million bond referendum set for Nov. 5. “The upcoming election is an important event for the school district, and it’s vital for parents and community members to have accurate information on the ballot questions they’ll be voting on,” Rodriguez said in a release. “At these public forums, we’ll be briefing parents on the key points of the referendum and answering their questions.” According to the school district, a group of community volunteers worked more
than 900 hours – visiting 26 schools in Beaufort and other districts and receiving presentations from outside experts – before producing a district-wide projects list with a total estimated value of $629 million. Once the volunteer Community Project Review Committee submitted that list, the Board of Education developed a smaller set of priorities and approved a $344 million referendum for Nov. 5. The referendum is targeted to address a variety of issues related to school facilities: • School buildings need upgrades related to their safety and security. • Older schools are experiencing maintenance and structural problems due
to advancing age. • Schools have technology infrastructure that needs to be updated. • Hundreds of new students enroll in district schools, particularly in the Bluffton community. • Career and Technology Education courses need additional classroom space and resources. Voters will consider two separate ballot questions. Firstly, if Question 1 is approved, there will be: safety and security upgrades at all schools; technology infrastructure upgrades at nearly all schools; classroom additions at River Ridge Academy and May River High; a replacement building for Robert
Nine Beaufort County schools earn state recognition Nine Beaufort County schools – including Coosa Elementary, Riverview Charter and Lady’s Island Elementary – have earned Palmetto Gold or Silver awards for student academic achievement, the South Carolina Department of Education announced Oct. 7. “These are very noteworthy recognitions,” Superintendent Frank Rodriguez said in a release. “We’re very proud of the students who improved their performance and also proud of the hard-working educators who supported them.” The state’s Education Oversight Committee establishes criteria for the awards, and the Department of Educa-
tion applies those criteria to determine which schools are honored. The Education Department announced Palmetto Gold and Palmetto Silver winners for the 2017-18 and 2018-19 school years based on revised criteria approved earlier this year by the South Carolina Education Oversight Committee. Beaufort County winners for 2017-18 were Coosa Elementary and Riverview Charter (Palmetto Gold) and Bluffton High, Hilton Head Island High, May River High, Red Cedar Elementary and River Ridge Academy (Palmetto Silver). Beaufort County winners
The Technical College of the Lowcountry and the Beaufort County School District recently kicked off a new collaboration to offer career and technical programs through high school dual enrollment. “A technical career can be for anyone who has an interest, aptitude, and desire to enter a highly skilled occupation,” Beaufort County School District Director of Career and Technical Education Karen Gilbert said in a release. The new collaboration expands the district’s current career and technical offerings at the high schools, allowing more students to benefit. Dual enrollment students receive both college and high school credit. TCL’s general education courses are already popular with high school students wanting college credit for transfer to four-year universities. Whale Branch Early College High School has enjoyed a special dual enrollment partnership with TCL for the
past eight years. Now Whale Branch students are the first in the school district to pilot the new program. “This partnership was a natural fit for us to grow our technical offerings for all our students,” WBECHS Principal Mona-Lise Dickson said. “We want our students to be truly college and/or career ready, not only for our local economy but globally. It is truly a celebration to see the vision come to life.” Building construction is the first career pathway being offered, allowing high school students to take classes onsite at the college where they receive real-world training and hands-on experience. “Students in our building construction program will learn the skills and tools of the trade, making them more employable and work ready,” instructor Tim Newsome said. The new dual enrollment offerings will allow more opportunities for students wanting to go right into the workforce or to

Warriors drop region opener in overtime
Whale Branch suffered its first loss of the season with a heartbreaking 37-36 overtime defeat Friday at Woodland. The Wolverines tied it with a 19-yard touchdown pass and two-point conversion late in the fourth quarter, and the Warriors missed a game-winning field goal try at the end of regulation. Jadon Grant’s third touchdown run of the game gave the Warriors a 36-30 lead in overtime, but they failed to convert the PAT, and Woodland answered with a touchdown and extra point for the win. Grant rushed for 105 yards on 21 carries with three touchdowns, while De’Arius Hazel added 127 yards and a TD on 12 carries, and Jaylen Reeves contributed 116 yards and a TD on 17 attempts. JacQuez Frazier led the defense with 12 tackles. The Warriors (4-1, 0-1 Region 5-2A) return home to face No. 2 Barnwell in a region matchup Friday.
Eagles denied first victory
Beaufort High came up short in a bid for its first win of the season Friday, falling 38-24 at Effingham County (Ga.). The Eagles grabbed an early lead on Tyler Haley’s 3-yard touchdown run, but the Rebels responded with 17 straight points to take control. Brandon Sarathy’s 30-yard field goal made it 17-10 at halftime, and the teams traded touchdowns to start the second half, with Haley’s 4-yard TD run pulling the Eagles within 24-17. Effingham County essentially sealed the victory with two more touchdowns, making it 38-17 before Daniel Phares came on in relief of Haley and threw an 18-yard touchdown pass to Marcus Goodwater. James Dagin rushed for 112 yards on 12 carries, while Haley rushed for 96 yards on 15 attempts with two touchdowns and was 6-of-18 for 96 yards passing. Phares had four catches for 84 yards and was 2-for-2 passing for 57 yards and a score. The Eagles (0-5) open region play at home against Bluffton on Friday.
BA can’t get offense going vs. Cavs
Beaufort Academy couldn’t carry over the momentum from its first win of the season, falling 30-14 to St. John’s Christian on Friday. Kevin Rogers rushed for 84 yards and a touchdown, and Elijah Fess added 73 yards and a score on the ground for the Eagles. Braydon Dineen collected 10 tackles and had an interception to lead the Eagles on defense. BA (1-4) hosts Andrew Jackson Academy next Friday in a rematch of last year’s SCISA 8-man state championship game.

New Marker 244 restaurant to open soon in Port Royal By Mindy Lucas A new restaurant opening soon in Port Royal will offer Caribbean and other island-inspired food as well as a fresh view of Port Royal Landing Marina. Marker 244, named for the Intracoastal Waterway marker nearby, will open in the building that was formerly occupied by Back Porch Grill, at 1 Port Royal Landing Drive. Marianna Taylor, who will serve as general manager for the restaurant, said the new venture will be a family-run business and will serve cuisine from a variety of island cultures such as Hawaiian and Caribbean.
“And obviously the Lowcountry lifestyle as well, but it will be welcoming and have that island inspired vibe,” she said. The menu will include fresh local-caught shrimp and fish, burgers, chicken salad sandwiches, kabobs, fried and jerked chicken and will also offer vegetarian options. Longtime Lowcountry chef Penn Ten Eyck, who formerly owned and operated Sweetgrass, will serve as Marker 244’s chef. The Taylors took over the building’s lease in October of 2018 and have completely renovated the space. Improvements included doubling the
size of the kitchen, expanding the seating area out toward the water and installing an outdoor patio and “garage door” to capture cross breezes, Taylor said. “Everyone will be able to interact with each other and have a great view of the water,” she said. The restaurant will be about 2,000-square-feet in size and seat around 84 people. It is expected to open by Oct. 14, Taylor said. “We think we have the trifecta – an amazing location, a great attitude toward our guests and Penn in the back bringing a fine dining experience. It will check all three of those boxes.”
WINE & DINE
In wine, new regions, grapes, vintages are always awesome
I
f a person never learns anything else about wine, they must know there is always another wine to be tried. New region. New grape varieties. New vintages of old favorites at the very least. It’s all hard work but someone has to do it. This week’s new, for many, includes a new region and/or a new variety. Puglia, or Apulia in Italian, is one of Italy’s 20 DOC wine regions. It is located on the back and bottom of the Italian “boot.” It is the “high heel” of the boot and makes up the very southern east coast on the Adriatic. This area has a Mediterranean climate with dry summers and mild winters. Puglia’s wine making history dates back to the ancient Greeks. Historically, Apulia produces large quantities of rugged and deeply colored wines. They have 25 DOC regional designations. Some are not so wonderful, less expensive, locally favored wines. But, others are awesome. Discovered by searching out the new, tasting, and knowing the grape varieties that are used. The Salento area is located at the southern end of the region and is the source for many wines. Salice Salentino (sa-lee-chay sahl-len-tee-no) is one of the better known
CELIA STRONG
DOCs that has better wines. The Salice Salentino DOC was established in 1976, but its wines have records dating back to the 6th century, B.C. Today, the whole Apulian wine industry is just starting to expand itself. These wines are mostly reds, with small productions of rosé and white. Negroamaro (literally translated as black or dark and bitter) and Malvasia Nero are the two main grapes allowed in the red wines. The basic reds have no aging requirements, although reserve wines can require 24 months of aging. Most producers, today, are trying to make less traditional wines in favor of well-crafted, more fruity wines. Not limiting themselves to just local varieties. These wines are well-received. Locally and exported. Although, they may not have DOC status. Castello Monaci is located in the center of the Salice Salentino DOC. They have a 16th century castle that was once run by Basilican monks.
It has been owned by the same family since the 19th century. Monaci has an awesome record for wines made from Negroamaro and Malvasia Nero. Mostly from 350 acres of vineyards that they own. Coribante is a new red wine in the Monaci portfolio. It is a blend of Syrah and Malvasia Nero. New grape and old traditional grape. These grapes grow in mostly clay soil, in very warm vineyards. The vines are an average of five years old. After harvest and crushing, each variety is fermented separately. At controlled temperatures in stainless steel vats. The Syrah stays in its stainless steel tanks while the Malvasia Nero goes through a malolactic fermentation and sits in barriques (wood barrels) for 12 months. The finished, blended, wine is a concentrated deep red color with hints of purple. It has aromas and flavors that include cherries, raspberries, elderflowers and hints of black pepper. This wine is fairly full bodied, intense, smooth, juicy and has enough tannins to pair well with red meat, pasta and meatballs, strong cheeses and more. For $11.99 at Bill’s. Awesome. Enjoy. Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island.

FOOD LUNCH BUNCH
The Lunch Bunch goes to Brody’s MARGARET EVANS
I
t was a cool, bright day in September as the Lunch Bunch settled on the porch at Brody’s Bar & Grill, reveling in the fluky weather. The next week would bring summer back with a vengeance, but for now we were getting our autumn on, and loving it. I’ve always believed Brody’s serves up some of the finest bar food I’ve ever tasted. I’m a big fan of bar food, myself, but I wondered how owner Cris Morrison, a serious restaurateur, might feel about my use of that term to describe his fare. I asked him, and he embraced it. “Sure, you can call it bar food,” he said. “But the difference between us and other places that serve bar food is that we put our hands on everything here. Everything’s made from scratch. We spend as much time with our food preparation as any of the most upscale restaurants in Beaufort. Personally, I just think of our food as good. The best food in town.” Who were we to disagree? I was already halfway through my delicious Chicken Caesar Wrap by the time the discussion rolled around. It occurred to me that I’d never actually had a Chicken Caesar Wrap at a bar, thus my “bar food” thesis was already losing steam. Meanwhile, Cris’s “best food
Chloe’s Cobb Salad
Oyster Basket in town” theory was still very much in play. We’d already finished off our appetizers; the fried mushrooms were big and juicy and perfectly battered, which pretty well describes the fried pickles, too. Dawn was going to town on her Chloe’s Cobb Salad. “For some reason, it’s hard to find a good, big, healthy salad around here,” she said, delighting in the one before her. “This bacon is really crispy and the veggies are so fresh.” Grilled chicken, mixed cheese, onion, tomatoes, cucumber and hard-boiled eggs rounded out the feast, half of which was clearly going home in a box. Jeff went the less healthy, more hearty route with a Chili Dog, which he thor-
oughly relished. (Yeah, I went there.) “The hot dog’s big, the chili’s good, the bun’s tasty.” Who could ask for anything more? Actually, Jeff could. He added jalapenos for some extra spice. Betty had nothing but positive things to say about her Oyster Basket – “the oysters are such a nice size!” – and the Chicken Parm Linguini earned kudos from Mike. “The chicken is tasty and tender. Really good breading, too, and it’s not the same breading you get on the mushrooms and pickles.” How could I forget to mention the superb Mac & Cheese, which came with my Caesar Chicken Wrap? It reminded me of my mother’s – with hard, gooey cheese on top – and I was so
overwhelmed by nostalgia I almost ordered seconds. But just then, our server arrived with a “surprise” – a plate of vanilla ice cream and hot fudge over two soft, delectable chocolate chip cookies … and a handful of spoons. The conversation at the table came to an abrupt halt, unless you count “Mmmm” as conversation. The challenge with any visit to Brody’s – along with pinning down what “kind” of food they serve – is deciding what to order. The selection is just so large and diverse. Alas, there were only five of us there that day, so we left without trying the vast majority of enticing menu items. Nobody had the Hotti Totti Chicken Sandwich or the Asian Twish Burger or the Mama Mia Chick-
Chicken Parm Linguini en Parm. The Mac Daddy Burger went untried, as did the Guac Guac Chicken Sandwich. We didn’t sample the Wing Bar (15 flavors!) or the Ultimate Nachos or the Buffalo Shrimp. In fact, we barely scratched the surface of that mind-boggling menu. Clearly, this could not stand. We would have to return and further our research in order to make a full and proper assessment of Brody’s Bar & Grill.

When storms arise, we learn the depth of our friendships
I
t is Saturday, and Susan and I are back in Port Royal. It’s been more than a month since Hurricane Dorian came boiling up the Atlantic seaboard sending millions Americans into a plywood-buying panic over the (possible) loss of their homes and their savings and presenting them with the prospect of spending a week in a dank, smoke infused, ‘contractor’s rate’ motel. We were in Massachusetts in the midst of our vacation when the Weather Channel began its coverage and deployed Jim Cantore to Florida. We packed our bags but as we were passing through the petrochemical moonscape in Rahway, N.J., we heard our own Henry McMaster order an evacuation of Beaufort County. After a coffee and bagel-fueled discussion at the James R. Hoffa Service Area, we decided to return to
SCOTT GRABER
Massachusetts. “We’re going to need sandbags,” I shouted into the glass and metal rectangle that is called an IPhone by my technologically savvy friends. “Yes, Scott, we’ve made arrangements at Taylor’s Landscaping and will buy a half yard of sand. I’ve already got the bags,” replied my friend Dean Moss. “I want you to make a wall of sandbags around the back deck. That’s where it always floods,” I yelled into the IPhone. “I’m looking at your deck as we speak and see what you mean,” David Taub replied.
“Stack the bags three deep in front of each door,” I screamed thinking my voice was competing with the sound of tropical force winds. “Yes, Scott, we’ve already done that. You do know this isn’t my first rodeo — I helped you during Matthew and Irma,” David replied. “After the rain starts turn on the sump pump, the plug is to the left of the back door. And you have to open-up the metal lid that covers the outlet,” I said. “You may be surprised to know that I have outdoor electrical outlets of my own. And I have long experience opening the little metal covers,” David said. The problem with Dorian was that it was mostly stationary, sometimes going as fast as one-mile-an hour. I also knew (from a recent hike) that one walks at a speed of 3 miles an hour. So I began to think about my walking
the distance from West Palm Beach to Port Royal. I would want to follow he beach if I could; stopping for an hour or so at The Alligator Farm in St. Augustine. Then a few minutes, perhaps an hour, for an IPA at the White Horse Tavern just across the street from Castillo San Marcos. Then I wondered if I could swim across the St. John’s River to Cumberland Island. I would probably have to borrow or steal a boat. In any case I began to believe I was looking an ETA in the first part of October. Meanwhile I was back on the phone with my neighbors, “Now, Kit, you’re going to find towels in the bathroom. But don’t use the monogrammed guest towels.” “Got it.” “Stuff them under the doors of Susan’s studio. And while you’re at it, could you clear the furniture from the
upstairs porch?” I want to say — here and now — that we have a cohort of friends who are an essential component of our lives. It was David Taub, Dean Moss, Louis and Kit Bruce, Julie Peters and Joe Morrall (and his friends) who took on the “defense” of my small, fragile law office on Carteret Street and our home in Port Royal. Pre-arrival hurricane anxiety is hard-wired to our imagination. We all have this large, internal jumbotron that plays a continuous loop showing the total destruction of the one thing that we have acquired with most of our life juice — I speak of our homes. So it’s OK to be anxious and slightly irrational while waiting for this creature — “This thing has got to be bigger than Rhode Island.” — to make its slow, meandering journey up the Atlantic coast. God knows (S.C. Governor) Henry McMaster, (Beau-
fort Mayor) Billy Keyserling and the Town of Port Royal kept everyone informed. But the take home message for me centered on friends and friendship. It’s when a storm arrives that we learn the depth of friendships. These aren’t boozy hugs exchanged after a long, wine-infused dinner party. This is asking 60 and 70 year old people to take a shovel and fill bags with sand. It’s asking these same Medicare-eligible, Motrin-gulping oldsters to stack those 50-pound bags around one’s office. I’ve got to believe there is something in Beaufort’s groundwater that makes people — people with their own anxiety — care about their neighbors.

suicide lane, and he pulled up to her bumper instead of mine. I held back a bit worrying about an accident as he flashed his lights, honked, and road the back of her car. It did not matter. She continued her conversation. I tried calling her again. “Excuse me. Could you please get off the phone before you are in an accident? You are a hazard and are frightening me, and the guy behind you now is even scarier.” Obviously, she never heard me chatting with her, but at some point, her real conver-
sation must have ended or maybe she noticed the guy in the truck. Whatever the reason, she suddenly picked up her speed as did the grateful line of cars behind her. “I am glad we had this little chat” I said out load and put down my imaginary phone.

My imaginary conversation
W
hile driving to the grocery store last Thursday, I had an imaginary conversation with the woman in the car ahead of me. It was not a real conversation because she was already on the telephone with someone else. I knew this based on the way she was holding her cell phone and the way she was driving. We had left a 35 mph speed zone and headed into a 55 mph speed limit zone, and she was still doing about 30 mph. I waited awhile hoping she would end her conversation, but that is

Now what?
highlighting daily life observations
when I started to talk to her. “Excuse me,” I began, “You don’t know me, but I am in the car right behind you. I realize that your discussion with your husband regarding dinner tonight is important,
but I really would appreciate it if you would pay attention to your driving. You are making me very nervous because you almost hit that street sign.” Needless to say, she was ignoring me and continued, I imagined, discussing the kids, the weather, the upcoming vacation and a variety of topics which were so much more important to discuss while driving 32 mph in a 55 mph zone than paying attention to her driving. It wasn’t until the truck behind me starting to “push” me from behind that I got a
bit sterner in my conversation. “Excuse me!” I said again, “But the truck behind me is extremely anxious to get around both of us and do the correct speed limit (or more). Could you please get off the phone and pay attention to your driving because you almost hit that old guy on the bicycle trying to get to work and I don’t want to be pushed off the road by this truck.” She continued her actual animated conversation, and so I moved over a bit so the truck could pass me in the
Why is the Republican Party taking its cues from China?
I
f you are a Republican in South Carolina, you should be more than bothered by the South Carolina Republican Party’s Executive Committee’s recent decision to cancel the S.C. primary. This means that your voice in the 2020 political process was just knocked out. In Donald Trump’s campaign, he promised to “drain the swamp,” but if this isn’t a display of “politics as usual,” I don’t know what is. What it is, is pure law of the jungle and brute force politics. Shutting down elections is always good for the incumbent and, accordingly, this benefits the president. I understand the strategy, but the question for the rest of us as South Carolinians is whether it benefits us. The answer is no, for three reasons. First, each of us loses our voice and our right to vote. The idea of taking electioneering tactics from China
MARK SANFORD
and North Korea is in itself troubling, but the more practical question for each one of us rests in South Carolina’s historically unique status as the “First in the South” presidential primary. This has meant that candidates have criss-crossed our state many times over as they attempt to connect with Palmetto State voters. They don’t bother to go to many other states with populations of the same size or greater, but doing so means that South Carolinians could go to town hall meetings and actually talk to candidates and the national press corps.

share of races over the years, I can say first-hand that those conversations matter. Those opportunities will now be lost with the Executive Committee’s decision to deny South Carolinians the chance to express their beliefs and views on the national stage. Sadly this chance comes only once every four years. Second, we lose collectively as a state. We are certainly a great people. But there are many talented individuals in different states across this country. Yet over and over again, our state has seen South Carolinians elevated to plum political assignments because of our “First in the south” primary. Just to name a few, former Governor Jim Edwards became Secretary of Energy under Ronald Reagan because of our early primary. Former Governor Dick Riley became Secretary of Education under President Clinton because of our early primary. Former

Speaker of the S.C. House Wilkins became Ambassador to Canada because of our early primary. In just the last election cycle, former Governor Nikki Haley became the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, and Ed McMullin the Ambassador to Switzerland for the same reason. Certainly each of these individuals were talented in his or her own right, but the question of talent lies in whether or not it has the chance to be recognized. Our early primary status gave us this opportunity. What this has in turn meant is that we have had profound influence in the decisions that get made in Washington based on the people that we sent there. This matters in money for the Port in Charleston, a federal pilot program in Marion County or a vendor selection in Anderson. Third and finally, there are
issues at play in this election cycle that need our deliberation, discussion, and focus. I’m running as Republican for the office of President of the United States to try and raise awareness on the enormity of the financial disaster our country faces and its impact on each one of us. We are walking our way toward the most predictable financial storm in the history of our nation. Our debt has seen the fastest increase in our nation’s history under this president, and his proposals on domestic discretionary spending put his budget about 20 percent above President Obama’s. We will now run more than a $1 trillion financial deficit this year, and we have never done that before under benign economic conditions. This president declared and promised to eliminate the debt over the eight years that he might have in office, and yet his own budgets
propose raising the national debt by $9 trillion over the next 10 years. If these empty promises aren’t things worthy of a debate, I don’t know what is. If you agree on these points, I’d ask that you pick up the phone and call Drew McKissick, the S.C. GOP Chairman at 803-988-8440. His email is drewmckissick@ gmail.com What has transpired here is not only error in judgment, it is wrongful neglect of the responsibility to present all interested Republicans with a choice of candidates. They are breaking their own party rules to do this, and it’s never been about money. It is my hope that the Executive Committee will take it upon themselves to amend and correct their decisions. Mark Sanford is a 2020 Republican Presidential candidate, the former Governor of South Carolina and the former U.S. Congressman for South Carolina’s 1st District.

“Who Is This?” The Identity of Jesus
Their boat was about to sink under the rough waves. The men were in a panic. As sometimes happens on the Sea of Galilee, a violent storm had suddenly developed as they were crossing to the other shore in a fishing boat. Their teacher, Jesus, was sound asleep on a cushion in the back of the small craft. They woke him up, frantically asking, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?” Jesus then did something entirely unexpected. He stood, and then commanded the wind and the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” The wind abruptly died down and stopped. The sea became completely calm. He then said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?” They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this, who even the wind and the waves obey?” (Mark 4:35-41)
This event shows us the complexity of Jesus. After a day of teaching, Jesus is tired and in need of rest. He is so worn out that he keeps sleeping through the commotion of the storm! This is one of the many ways that the Gospels depict the humanity of Jesus. Like all of us, Jesus was born, grew as a child, and worked to put food on the table. He eats, drinks, sleeps, and feels pain. And yet, Jesus is able to do something completely out of the ordinary, taming the natural world with a simple command. Only God controls the waters. At various times in the Old Testament, God shows his power through mighty works of wind and water. He parted the Red Sea for his people to escape Egypt (Exodus 14), and he parted the Jordan River so that they could enter the Promised Land (Joshua 3). This situation is completely different. Jesus does not pray to God for a miracle, as did Moses and Joshua. Rather, he commands nature with his own authority. The power comes from within. The disciples are living out Psalm 107. In this famous Jewish poem, God raises up a mighty storm and sailors are in danger of perishing. “Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress; he made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed.” (v. 2829) Through his actions, Jesus helps his disciples to begin to dimly grasp something unthinkable: the God of Israel has come to them in person, and is sitting with them in the boat! The question the disciples ask is still important today. They recognize that Jesus is displaying a power that the Jewish people expect of God alone: “Who is this, who even the winds and waves obey?” If this teacher, their friend, can quiet the violent swells of the Sea of Galilee with a mere word, who really is this Jesus of Nazareth? This is the question that we must still wrestle with today, and which we are exploring in this series. If Jesus was merely a friendly teacher, how could he do such things?
