Protesters face off over Trump impeachment inquiry Supporters of Donald Trump lined Boundary Street and chanted “four more years” while their counterparts lined the other side denouncing President Trump. Some protesters were friends with those across the street and walked across to chat before returning to their own ranks. Photo by Bob Sofaly.
By Mindy Lucas Those who turned out for a recent protest and counter-protest in downtown Beaufort were as divided on the Trump impeachment inquiry as the street that ran between them. Held in front of Democratic U.S. Rep. Joe Cunningham’s Beaufort office on Boundary Street on Thursday, Oct. 17,
the groups lined opposite sides of the road where they faced each other and waved signs at passing traffic. Organized by the local chapter of Women for Trump and Engage the Right, the protest drew about 45 people who said they there to show support of the President. The counter-protest drew about 30 individuals.
The event was held the same day as a national “March for Trump” event calling for an end to the House’s impeachment inquiry held at the nation’s capitol. Despite some obscenities yelled by passing motorists and loud shouting from a man walking a dog along the road, the event was relatively peaceful.
Diane Ivey, a Beaufort resident and self-described active Republican said she wasn’t so much against impeachment inquiries in general, as the need for such hearings to be open and fair. “Impeachment hearings in the past have been fair. They’ve been open. Openness

Why celebrate citizenship in Beaufort?
abi Kryeziu remembers the first time he saw Beaufort. He was on a trip visiting friends in the Lowcountry but wouldn’t return to what would eventually become his home for another couple of years. “It was beautiful,” Kryeziu said, recalling a walking tour of Beaufort’s downtown and historic neighborhoods. He also remembers seeing the Shrimp Festival and Waterfont Park, which left a big impression on the then 27-year-old. “That was really cool,” he said. Kryeziu’s early youth, spent as a refugee from Kosovo, was very different from the life he would go on to lead as a young man in the United States. Plagued with war and ethnic cleansing in the 1990s-era conflict, much of Kosovo had been burned or destroyed, its residents devastated. Kryeziu’s teen years were filled with “suffering, civilian massacres, Go online the sound of enemy Visit our website for a list jets, tanks and guns of citizenship in distant villages,” resources he said. in Beaufort. yourislandnews. Now, nearly 10 com years after the first time he stepped foot in the United States, Kryeziu will join hundreds of others celebrating their status as new Americans in a public celebration coming up this weekend in Beaufort. Celebrate Citizenship will take place from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 26 at Beaufort’s Waterfront Park Pavilion.

s the famous Statue of Liberty quote by Emma Lazarus suggests, the United States has long offered hope and opportunity to people from other nations. Yet, the latest Census data shows that, in the last decade, without legal immigrants, the U.S. population would have declined. Even with immigration, half the counties in our country had declining population. Want to see what declining communities look like? You do not need to go far. We moved here 20 years ago from Aiken and have driven the backroads to and from there many times. In the last 20 years, from Yemassee to New Ellington, there may have been 10 new buildings constructed. It’s impossible not to notice abandoned plants and boarded-up downtown stores. Even schools have closed. Occasionally, we read stories of dying towns willing to sell themselves to anyone who will come. Often, immigrants move there finding opportunity and providing

Labi Kryeziu celebrates his citizenship in 2018. Photo provided. Saturday’s event is important in raising awareness, Kryeziu and others said, not only of those who have immigrated and made significant contributions to their communities, but also as a reminder to those who take their freedom for granted. “Freedom isn’t free,” said Kryeziu, who now lives in Beaufort with his wife, Lycia. If anyone knows that, it would be Kryeziu.
War comes to Kosovo When Kryeziu was just 13, he and his family – including his mother, grandparents, sister and two younger brothers – were forced to flee their village in Kosovo.

Most people at Tuesday night’s meeting seemed a bit skeptical of the proposed “eco-friendly” resort being planned for Bay Point Island. Photos by Bob Sofaly.
Amber Beard, the sustainability advisor for Six Senses Hotels Resort Spas, tries to convince the skeptical that their approach to building and maintaining “eco friendly” resorts has a proven track record of sustainability and will be a win-win for all concerned.
Developers of proposed Bay Point resort hear from a skeptical public By Mindy Lucas Around 150 to 200 people attended a public meeting held at the St. Helena Branch Library on Tuesday, Oct. 15 to hear the latest on a proposed resort for Bay Point. For the first time since the project was proposed, residents heard from developers as well as owners of the 347-acre property at the south end of St. Helena Island. The project, which has been in the works for several years, has come back into the public eye as planners now unveil additional details about the development while seeking approval from the county for a special use permit that would allow for ecotourism. In order to receive that designation, certain criteria such as offering interpretive or other outdoor educational programs must be met, which representatives of Six Senses, the high-end global hotel resort and spa company that will operate the proposed resort, said at the Oct. 15 meeting they more than meet. “When Six Senses gets involved, the environment improves,” said Amber Beard, a sustainability advisor for the company. The company, which specializes in ecotourism and sustainability, currently operates 17 resort properties around the world, some in such sensitive environments as the Seychelles. It practices such environmentally friendly measures as composting and organic gardening, plastic-free water stations and

the preservation of local plant and wildlife. In addition, each of the resorts maintains its own “sustainability fund,” which contributes money to its surrounding community. Money, Beard explained, that funds such projects as water conservation and other infrastructure projects, educational programs and habitat restoration. However, those in attendance remained skeptical of the project, even after the company detailed its commitment to the environment and low-impact philosophy. “Anytime that anybody infringes upon anything that has never been touched, you are leaving a carbon footprint,” said longtime area educator Cynthia Gregory-Smalls, among more than a dozen area residents who voiced concerns at the meeting. If plans for the resort move forward, guests will be brought to the island by water ferry primarily from Port Royal, though Skull Creek and St. Helena are also being considered. Guest quarters would be small, single-story, but no taller than two-story, villas made of wooden “post and beam” construction designed to blend in with the tree line. The resort’s capacity will be limited to around 50 guests, planners said. Others had concerns over how the resort expects to stave off beach erosion in an area that juts out into Port Royal Sound and is
known for erosion and “boneyard beaches” made up of trees that have succumbed to rising tides and hurricanes. Tim Pitcher, president of Luckett & Farley Development, a Kentucky-based architectural and engineering firm, and also one of the owners, attempted to field questions about erosion and other concerns from those who attended the meeting. “We don’t know what’s going to happen on that beach front,” he said. “No one knows for a certainty anything, but we do know what the scientists tell us.” However, Rikki Parker with the Coastal Conservation League said that while the Six Senses brand is a “good ethos” to have, it is “the wrong place and the wrong time” for the resort citing the area’s erosion rates, rising sea levels and the increasing frequency of hurricanes. She went on to say that a project like Bay Point sets a “dangerous precedent” in that it would open St. Helena Island up for “resort-style eco-tourism development.” Others such as Okatie resident Carol Derolf voiced concerns over development in general. “You have to live here to understand how people are feeling,” she began. “We’re seeing what happened in the Charleston area. It’s hard to believe that a town like Mount Pleasant can be destroyed through bad development and planning in five years.” She went on to take issue with
Beaufort County leadership. “I see Beaufort County being blacktopped,” she said. “How are the people representing us allowing the developers to do it?” After the meeting, Pitcher said he wasn’t surprised by residents’ reactions to his group’s plans since people had promised “a lot of things” and had not delivered on them over time. In 2016, developers of the project had discussed the possibility of annexation with the City of Hilton Head but withdrew their request after certain issues, such as providing power to the island, proved to be challenging, he said. Since that time, the group has worked to put together a “better plan,” he said. The cost of the project is estimated to run about $100 million and could take “a few years” before plans for construction begin, he said. In the meantime, Pitcher said his group is looking at hosting another public meeting in Port Royal and follow-up meetings with the St. Helena community. “We want to keep people informed, not because there is some requirement to do this, but because we care about informing people about what’s going on with this,” he said. “This relationship is longterm and even though there is some skepticism currently, we believe the … proof is in the pudding. We will change those opinions over time and we will be accepted in the community. That’s our real hope.”

The zoning previously allowed for a maximum of 80 units but the zoning change increased the developers ability to offer an additional 40 units for a total of 120 units. The rezoning passed in a vote of 8 to 2.

They shouldn’t be behind closed doors,” she said, adding that if a witness has information they should come forward. “If a particular witness is talking about classified information, I don’t know why that would be, but at least make the transcript at the hearing available,” she said. Asked what she thought about Cunningham’s “wait and see” position, Ivey said she too would wait. Cunningham has, in recent weeks, told state and national media he wanted to wait “until hearing all the evidence and ideally, hearing directly from the whistleblowers,” he said, according to the (Charleston)

burning houses and forcing people out. Over the next year, Kryeziu and his family moved to three different villages but were eventually found and forced out of Kosovo altogether. His older brother, then 16, and his father were hiding in the mountains nearby when they were forced out since any adult male, if found, risked being taken away and never heard from again. Fleeing to the neighboring country of Albania, they became refugees, and Kryeziu feared he’d never see his father and brother again. In Albania, the family stayed in a refugee camp, then lived with a host family for four months. Finally, after months of not knowing if his father and brother were safe, Kryeziu and his family received word – the two were alive and well. Shortly thereafter, the family was reunited in Albania. “It was very emotional,” said Kryeziu. When the war ended, he and his family returned home to find their village had been burned. Still, it was a miracle to return at all, he said. “We cried tears of sorrow and tears of joy as we remembered the lost, saw our village

new energy where others have left. As the late Nobel-Prize-winning economist, Milton Friedman described in his famous book, Free to Choose, his parents came to New York with just suitcases and a desire for freedom. They initially lived in tenement housing, worked demanding, low-pay jobs but built lives for themselves and their family. They were part of the American Dream. Beaufort is fortunate to continue to grow, attracting people from other parts of our country and the world who choose to live here. It

from page A1 When someone with Permanent Immigrant Status (Green Card) applies for American citizenship, they are given a book with information about our country, much more than just the 100 test questions. As citizenship tutors, my wife and I often found ourselves explaining why the questions were important and adding background information for our students. Sometimes we overwhelmed our clients and occasionally we had to find answers to their questions. The questions are available online at www.uscis.gov.

Post and Courier. “I understand why he’s doing this,” said Ivey. “He wants to maintain his thoughtful and bipartisan image. But I think eventually there will have to be a vote, so I’m willing to wait for that.” Constance Thompson, also of Beaufort, was among those that think the inquiry should be halted. “They are really going down the wrong path with this,” she said. “They feel justified, but I don’t think the American people are going to let that stand.” When asked about an Oct. 9 Fox News poll that showed 51 percent of those polled were in favor of Trump being impeached and removed from office, Thompson said that was due in part to “the very biased media.” “The bias that people burned down and reunited with brothers, fathers, cousins and uncles. Freedom is good, but freedom isn't free,” he said. A talented educator Babet Villena-Alvarez is another naturalized citizen who remembers the joy she felt at becoming an American. Born in the mountainous city of Baguio, in the Philippines, Villena-Alvarez did not know her life’s path would traverse three continents before eventually settling in the United States. A distinguished linguist, Villena-Alvarez began college at the age of 16. She was then selected out of millions competing for a Rotary scholarship in her country to attend the prestigious Paris-Sorbonne University in France where she studied French literature. The first time she recalls seeing the United States was on a trip with another Rotary ambassador who happened to be going home to Iowa. “It was so clean and the air was so crisp, she said. “And, it was so beautiful with all these wide open spaces as far as the eye could see.” After she completed her masters degree in Paris, she went on to complete another program in partnership with the University of Cincinnati that allowed her to convert her masters and go on to

they seize on, and when people hear that, they think that’s the truth,” she said. Meanwhile, across the road at the counter-protest, Dennis and Debbie Lynch, of Beaufort, stood holding signs in opposition to the protesters. “What I can’t understand is why people are so blind to all the things that Trump is doing,” said Debbie Lynch. “He’s admitted he’s reached out to foreign countries for help to get dirt on his opponents. He doesn’t see any problem in that. It’s just, to me, totally un-American.” Lisa Kadel, also of Beaufort, agreed with the Lynches. “He’s admitted on national TV that he committed a crime. It’s easy to see he needs to be impeached. I don’t even understand why there’s a discussion on it,” she said. Asked if the three support
Cunningham’s “wait and see” approach, Kadel and the Lynches said they did. “I think in a way, that’s kind of prudent,” Kadel said. “Even though I think the President is insane and needs to be impeached, I think they have to do it according to due process. It’s only fair that way. It’s understandable that (Cunningham) doesn’t want to come out now and say one way or the other, but eventually it’s going to come to that.” Asked if she believes the country is divided, Kadel said yes. “I think Trump created an atmosphere where people are divided, and he continues to encourage that atmosphere instead of trying to bring people together,” she said. “Instead of ‘making America great again,’ he made America divided.”
GREAT IMMIGRANTS, GREAT AMERICANS

Ultimately, one of every four Americans is an immigrant or the child of immigrants. Each Independence Day, the Carnegie Corporation of New York publishes a full-page spread with names and photos titled “Great Immigrants, Great Americans,” celebrating noteworthy individuals who have “strengthened our economy, enriched our culture and communities and invigorated our civic society.”
Details about the individuals are available at www.carnegie.org/nyt. The effort is a tribute to the fundation’s namesake and founder, Andrew Carnegie, who immigrated from Scotland in 1911. Beaufortonians may know the city office building on the corner of Carteret and Craven Streets was the first library in Beaufort (1917) and funded by the Carnegie Foundation.

earn a PhD. After completing her PhD program, Villena-Alvarez interviewed with and was offered a number of academic positions around the country. She chose the University of South Carolina Beaufort, where she would become a professor of Romance Languages and French Literature in the university’s Department of Humanities. “Twenty-five years later, I’m still here,” she said. In fact, Villena-Alvarez is the longest serving full-time faculty member at USCB. Today, she serves as Interim Assistant Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs. She’s also served as the Chair of Humanities/Fine Arts from 2007-2016, been awarded the Carolina Trustee Professorship 2012 and was the South
Carolina Governor’s 2010 Professor of the Year. But it’s those early years of teaching that surprised her the most, particularly at how accepting Americans were of her. “I was an Asian teaching a European language to American students,” she said. “The students did not see anything wrong with that.” Like those who will attend the celebration on Saturday, Villena-Alvarez still remembers taking the oath in 1996 in Atlanta to become an American citizen. “They gave us all a little flag and I tell you, I held that flag to my heart and I thought, ‘I can vote now. How is this possible that I get to be part of this great nation and make a difference,’” she said.
Proud to be Americans While Villena-Alvarez’ and Kryeziu’s paths to citizenship were different, both are proud to be Americans. “I think one of the greatest aspects of the American dream is that you can share past and futures with others and celebrate those who are new to our country,” she said. “Not only does this provide diversity to the experiences to the rest of the country, but it also opens Americans’ experiences with other countries.” The experience of becoming a citizen has never left her, she said. “It’s stronger than ever,” she said. “I connect better with my students, my work, my community and my friends because of that sense of belonging.” Kryeziu agrees. When
he took the oath in 2018, he wasn’t prepared for how “emotionally powerful” the experience was, he said. “I felt like I'd won my freedom all over again,” he said. An entrepreneur, Kryeziu works in real estate and financial services and is proud of the life he has made in his new country. If he could convey anything to his fellow countrymen, especially young people just starting out, it would be to recognize what a tremendous advantage it is to be an American. “What you have in your hand is very valuable,” he said. “… The U.S. is the only place on this earth that offers the opportunity to work hard, learn and establish yourself. Anyone can achieve their American Dream.”
was not always that way. From 1900 to 1940, Beaufort’s population declined by more than 40 percent. In the 1960s a so-called poverty commission documented third-world-like living conditions and wide spread malnourishment in children. Yes, here in Beaufort County. Why Celebrate Citizenship in Beaufort? Consider what our community would be like without their contributions. Beaufort’s naturalized Americans bring energy, investment, ideas, and skills. They, quietly, enrich our community adding new art, music, food, and their humanity. You will find them working in every sector of our economy and engaged in our
civic community. With this energy and diversity, Beaufort’s new Americans make us a better community. If, like us, you are part of the Baby Boomer generation, you have a vested interest in adding new members to our community. Social Security is an “intergenerational income transfer program.” From a purely personal benefit perspective, we need new workers so we can continue to receive our benefits. Recent Wall Street Journal articles describe a term, the dependency ratio – the ratio of workers to retirees. This ratio, which not long ago was about seven to one, is now only three to one in Europe and only slightly higher in the United States. Another article reported
a labor problem in Maine where retirees have stayed in their homes but young people have left, creating a shortage of home care workers. Working-age family members face a choice of paying up to $50 an hour for home care assistance or cutting back on their work activities to care for aging parents. Census data estimates there are slightly more than 1,800 naturalized Americans in our county. Consider how many times in a given week you interact with someone who was not born in the United States but has made Beaufort their home? The reality is almost everyone living here is descended from immigrants. Look at the six flags flying at the Santa Elena Museum. The earliest
Beaufort immigrants were Spanish, English, Scottish, French and Africans. Some came from European aristocracy, others adventurers, indentured servants, slaves, and refugees. While the creation of our Republic did not provide citizenship to all, eventually, with amendments to our Constitution, our nation has tried to include all of our “huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” Most Beaufortonians inherited citizenship as a birth right, but our naturalized citizens invested in American citizenship, first by acquiring the proper legal documentation, then traveling here, learning English, and finally by applying for, paying, and passing the citizenship exam
and finally, swearing their oath of allegiance to our nation. Read the vignettes of some of Beaufort’s naturalized citizens in the most recent edition of Lowcountry Weekly. They have amazing stories, often told with tears as they describe their deeply personal journeys. Without exception, every naturalized Beaufortonian we interviewed was passionate and proud to be an American. Davis Folsom, PhD, is a University of South Carolina Distinguished Professor of Economics, having taught more than 30 years combined at USC Beaufort and USC Aiken. He has published a wide variety of scholarly and not-so-scholarly books on topics ranging from business jargon to wine cruising. He is also a tour guide with Beaufort Tours and a volunteer citizenship tutor.
At www.civicsquestions. com, the site asks for your zip code and then adjusts some of the answers to the correspond to your state and Congressional District. Immigrants applying for U.S. citizenship are given only two chances to pass the test. If they fail the first time, they must return to the USCIS office and complete another interview 60-90 days later. If they fail the second time, they are required to re-apply and pay an additional $725 application fee. One study found that 64 percent of American citizens would fail the test but the USCIS reported that 91 percent of applicants pass this part of the Citizenship exam. From a New York Times article, what follows is a list of
the 10 toughest questions. Of course, applicants must answer the questions orally, not in a multiple-choice format. Take the test. If you want to take the quiz under the same conditions as Citizenship applicants, have someone read the questions to you without providing the choices.

Eagles stun Sharks for 2nd straight win
Beaufort High School’s Kacy Fields (14) can only watch as May River’s Ahmad Green (10) lays out as he tries to score during the first quarter Friday at Beaufort High. Despite Ahmad’s efforts, the Eagles defeated the Sharks 21-27.
A week after picking up its first win of the season, Beaufort High handed May River its first loss of 2019, beating the visiting Sharks 27-21 on Friday to end a 16-game regular-season winning streak. May River jumped out to an early 14-0 lead on Terry Fields’ punt return touchdown and the first of Ahmad Green’s two TD runs, but the Eagles answered with a 3-yard TD run from Amariee Morris and a 1-yard scoring run from quarterback Daniel Phares to pull even at halftime. James Dagin’s 4-yard touchdown run gave the Eagles the lead in the third quarter, and Kendrick Williams’ 36-yard interception return made it 27-14 going to the final period. Green added a second touch-

Beaufort held on for its second straight win. The Eagles again were effective running the option offense with Phares playing in place of injured starter Tyler Haley. Phares rushed for 89 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries, while Dagin added 149 yards and a TD on 16 carries, and Morris gained 107 yards and a TD on 16 attempts. William Winburn led the Eagles with nine tackles, Alvin Wilson had six tackles (two for loss), 1.5 sacks, and two quarterback pressures, and Williams and defensive tackle Gabe Jenkins each had an interception. The Eagles (2-5) travel to Hilton Head High on Friday with first place in Region 7-4A on the line.
Dolphins grind out third straight win They call soccer — known everywhere else in the world as football — the beautiful game. This was not that, but the result was beautiful for Battery Creek. At the tail end of an ugly game marked by sluggish offenses and yellow flags, Battery Creek’s Jacove Anderson broke away for an 89-yard touchdown run to lift the Dolphins to a 6-0 win at Ridgeland Hardeeville — their third consecutive victory. Anderson finished with
151 yards on 17 carries on a night when offense was otherwise at a premium. The Jaguars blocked three punts but couldn’t convert any of them into points — including one that set them up with firstand-goal at the 3 — and the last one was the unlikely catalyst for Anderson’s game-winning run. It looked as if RHHS would be set up for a winning score of its own after blocking a Dolphins’ punt deep in Creek territory, but the
Jags gained possession of the ball before fumbling, and the Dolphins recovered on their own 11 with 1:44 left. On the next play, Anderson bounced around the right end and sprinted up the Jaguars’ sideline for the night’s only score that wasn’t nullified by a flag. Battery Creek had an interception return for a touchdown called back, and the Jags had quarterback Antonio Chaneyfield’s long touchdown run wiped out by a late flag.
The Dolphins’ continued their strong play on defense with Shamarr Hamilton leading the way with eight tackles (one for loss), three sacks, and two QB pressures. Ellis Williams added four pass breakups, an interception and a forced fumble for Battery Creek. The Dolphins (3-3, 2-1) wrapped up at least the No. 3 seed in the Class 3A playoffs and will host defending region champion May River on Friday.

Dagin, Wilson picked for North-South game Four area football stars from four different schools were named to the South roster for the 2019 Touchstone Energy Cooperatives Bowl to be played Dec. 14 in Myrtle Beach. Commonly known as the North-South all-star game, the Touchstone Energy Bowl features some of
the top high school seniors from throughout the state. Among the all-stars on the 44-player South roster are Battery Creek defensive end Brandon Wilson, Beaufort High running back James Dagin, May River defensive back Terry Fields, and Bluffton wide receiver Rakim White.
Wilson has been a disruptive force for a Battery Creek defense that has dominated during the Dolphins’ current three-game winning streak. He is second on the team in tackles (33) and leads the team in sacks (7), tackles for loss (5), and fumble recoveries (2). Dagin leads the Eagles

GOLF Stone earns trip to state tourney
Beaufort High golfer Izzy Stone earned an individual berth in the Class 4A state meet with a strong performance at the Lower State qualifier Monday at Coastal Carolina University’s Hackler Course. Stone carded a 12-over-par 84 to finish third overall, two shots behind medalist Gracie McCoy of AC Flora and one back of North Myrtle Beach’s Cara Hilburn. The top three individual finishers from non-qualifying teams earn individual invitations to the state tournament. Hilton Head High qualified as a team, posting a team score of 392 to finish third. The Seahawks were 19 shots behind champion AC Flora and 11 back of runner-up Myrtle Beach. Bluffton (433) was seventh, and Beaufort (494) was 11th. Hilton Head High will host the state championship on Oct. 28-29 at Shipyard Golf Club.

Hannah Merchant led the Eagles with 11 kills and nine digs, while Olive Renforth added 17 digs and four kills and was 16-of-17 serving with three aces, and Zyaire Middleton dished out 21 assists and went 15of-16 serving with two aces.

Eagles sweep Cougars, clinch No. 2 seed
Beaufort High volleyball wrapped up the regular season with a sweep of Colleton County on Thursday, clinching the No. 2 seed in the upcoming Class 4A playoffs. The Eagles won 3-0 (25-14, 25-15, 25-18) to ensure they will host a firstround playoff match on Thursday, Oct. 24. Hannah Merchant (12 kills, 11 digs, two blocks, 16-of-17 serving, four aces) and Olive Renforth (10 kills, six digs, 8-for-8 serving, three aces) led the attack for the Eagles, while Zyaire Middleton dished out 22 assists and picked up 24 digs. Middle blockers Hayley Trader and Arry Brown continued their strong play at the net, as Trader
with 557 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 70 carries, an average of 7.96 yards per carry, and has added 16 receptions for 205 yards, which ranks third on the team. Fields has recorded 31 tackles, six pass breakups, two interceptions, and a forced fumble during the Sharks’ 6-1 start. He also has a punt
notched three kills and two blocks, and Brown added four kills and a block, and Sakura Simmons added 17 digs and served 14-for-15 with one ace.
BA sweeps THA twice
Beaufort Academy volleyball swept past Thomas Heyward on Thursday, and repeated the feat again Monday. The Eagles rolled to a 3-0 (25-10, 25-16, 25-11) victory in the first meeting. Chase Vaigneur showed off her versatility for BA, passing out 11 assists to go with 14 kills and three digs, while McCayla Willingham added 11 kills and two blocks, and Emily Ann Hiers had 15 assists, four kills, seven digs, and three aces. Amelia Huebel added seven kills and three blocks for the Eagles, and Mary Hanna Hiers had 10 digs and three assists. BA cruised to a 3-0 (25-11, 25-14, 25-17) victory in the rematch, which was the Eagles’ final match before the SCISA 1A state tournament this weekend in Myrtle Beach. Vaigneur posted another double-double with 10 kills, 12 assists, and two aces, while Willingham had 11 kills and four blocks, and Emily Ann Hiers contributed six kills, 11 assists, and nine digs for the Eagles.

BA wins wild 5-setter vs. Cathedral
Beaufort Academy volleyball outlasted Cathedral Academy for a five-set win in a matchup of SCISA 1A title contenders Friday.

Retirement hasn’t ended bicycle battle for Dean Moss
I
have a friend, Dean Moss, who wants to do one thing before he dies. Well, maybe two things. Most long-time residents in Beaufort County know that Dean Moss was responsible, in large measure, for expanding the operations of the Beaufort Jasper Water and Sewer Authority. Moss took a small utility and made it larger, much larger. Bringing water (by canal from the Savannah River) was not Moss’ idea, that dream was first dreamed by Joab Dowling in 1963. But its fair to say that Moss took Dowling’s modest system and turned it into a vast empire of pumps, pipes and lift stations. Before Dean Moss retired (2011) he made sure the Water Authority acquired the right of way once owned by the Port Royal and Western Carolina Railroad. Moss put Water Authority pipes in this right of way. However, he also

dreamed of riding a Pinarello Dogma F8 atop the old railbed between Yemassee and Port Royal, SC. And after a great deal of work by Moss, and others, the Spanish Moss Trail came into being. Birthing was not without complications. The biggest was convincing adjacent landowners that the Trail would not attract thieves, hoodlums and dope dealers to the Mossy Oaks, Ribaut Island and Cottage Farm neighborhoods. Moss and Sissy Perryman worked through these objections and eventually most homeowners realized the Trail was an
amenity that improved the value of their homes. But in the end there was the fact that the Trail did not connect with downtown Beaufort. Nor did it connect with Port Royal’s soon to be developed port. This lack of connectivity means that few families will get on their bikes (in Mossy Oaks) and pedal to Saltus (or to Fish Camp) for the she crab soup or the stuffed flounder. Beyond connectivity there are other, ongoing problems the biggest being the perception that (in America) the right of way belongs to the automobile. Hundreds of thousands of balding engineers spend their lives making sure that large, sedentary men … driving large Tahoes or Tundra trucks ... can move efficiently and speedily from their suburban homes to Costco. There is little time or effort spent by these engineers to
make room for bicycles. This is not the case in the Netherlands where 18 million people own a total of 22 million bicycles. “It’s not just that every busy street has a handsome bike lane, paved in darkred brick. It’s that on Dutch streets, bikes rule the road. They take priority in design and traffic flow. Traffic circles are laid out so that cyclists need never stop for cars. Busy intersections often have overpasses or underpasses so that cyclists never have to slow down,” writes Dan Kois in the New Yorker. And in New York City there are Citi Bike rentals on almost every corner, and Mayor Bill de Blasio has just built 100 miles of new, dedicated bike paths. But annoyance to biker and their carbon fiber bikes remains baked into most Americans who believe that they are guaranteed an Escalade and 70 mph
highways free from sweating, panting, helmet-wearing cyclists. Even in New York there are fights over new bike trails that remove parking spaces from the City’s inventory. Opposition to the Bay Street connector initially focused on the placement of a bike path along the bluff overlooking the Beaufort River. There were residents who believed that the loss of parking (along the bluff) was fatal. (Mayor Keyserling for his part favors a route along King or North Streets — away from the magnificent view that one acquires when one travels down Bay.) Other residents were concerned that the bike path will make access to their Bay Street properties more difficult. Opposition in the social media has slowed-down the pathway placement, but Moss is indefatigable and will soon present options. But finding
consensus will be difficult. Port Royal is a little different . Apparently the developers, Gray Ghost, have decided where to locate the spine road (and the Trail) running from Ribaut Road to the redeveloped port. But the lingering problem here may be the creation of a new intersection and getting SCDOT to sign off on that intersection. Dean Moss has spent the biggest part of his retirement trying to bring safe bicycle transportation to Beaufort. He has found allies and money in unusual places. And almost everyone believes that getting people out of their SUVs and onto bicycles is a good thing. But his fight to find connectivity, and overcome notions about priority, continue.

Thanks Johnny! Laughter IS the best medicine
O
n a recent road trip with my spouse, we discovered the Johnny Carson channel on Sirius Radio. Being an old Johnny fan, I was thrilled to listen to some of the old monologues again. My parents watched the show when I was young, and I even got to see him in California back in the 1980s. So, I was excited to hear him again. After a few hours of driving, we commented on how easy the drive was just listening to him. Talk about entertainment. It wasn’t only his monologues, but it was the people he was interviewing too. He always interviewed major stars like Jimmy Stewart,

highlighting daily life observations
Henry Fonda, and Elizabeth Taylor. He also had on comedians like Jerry Seinfeld, Joan Rivers and George Carlin. Then there were the animal spots and talented children interviews. It was a real variety show. We noticed how fun it was
to laugh at good old-fashioned humor. It was not mean-spirited. It was just plain entertainment. After the trip, I had lunch with three girlfriends who I had not spent much time with over the summer. I was telling them about the show and told them some of the jokes I heard. Well, that is when we started. Mind you, there was no alcohol involved here, but we got to laughing and carrying on with other stories that before you knew it, two hours had passed. That same evening, I started getting texts from my three sisters about something that happened to the young-
est the day before. Well before you know it, I was on another laughing spree. I could not type on my phone, because I was crying so hard. Later, while brushing my teeth I started to laugh again, and my husband came into the bathroom wondering about the strange sounds I was making. “You scared me!” he said. When I finally got control, I explained my laughter and he responded, “You had to be there.” It’s true. There are some stories shared by siblings, people you have known all your life, that are hard to explain to other people. Needless to say, I have

laughter on my mind now. How wonderful to spend hours with people just laughing and enjoying life. When I looked up laughter on a search engine, I found articles like, “The natural high of laughter” from Psychology Today. Evidently, laughter releases a neurotransmitter – dopamine – which serves as a reward for the brain. I am not sure if my hours with Johnny Carson started my all-day laughing spell.
But I do know that I am reminded that laughter truly is the best medicine, and maybe we all need to get more of it in our lives. Thanks, Johnny!

Torrontés are a great choice for the holidays
C
hoosing wines for the holiday season is an annual chore. How many bottles? What price? Red or white? Or rosé? Or bubbles? Part of the difficulty is there is no one wine that is perfect. Of course something that will go well with each meal, but also something that will be liked and enjoyed. Over the years, it seems categories of suitable wines are easier to discuss and study and, maybe taste, ahead of time. Specific wines are more of a personal choice. Considering holiday dinners are personal events. Torrontés (tore-ron-tez) wines are a more than suitable choice. They aren’t usual everyday choices so they stand out as special for the holidays. They are delicious on their own, but pair well with turkey, in particular. As well as multiple other foods. And, they are well-priced and deliver value for that price. Torrontés is white wine that is all but synonymous with Argentina. Over the past several years, studies of this variety have found that what are made as Torrontés wines actually come from several different grape varieties connected to this name. The three most significant are Torrontés Sanjuaino, Torrontés Mendocino and Torrontés Ruiojano. The third is the most widely planted. Probably

because it produces better wines. Duh? Torrontés wines’ styles ranges from lighter and fresher to heady, heavier and very perfumy. The origins of Torrontés are a bit unsure. Most experts, though, still believe it is indigenous to Argentina. And it might have been crossed, in Argentina, with Muscat of Alexandria. It grows best in high-altitude vineyards with dry conditions. It has large berries with thick skins; it is susceptible to mildew; its wines from cooler climates retain their acidity. Since 2012, it is the second-most planted white variety in Argentina. More than 25,000 acres of vines. Very small amounts of Torrontés are also grown in the United States and Europe. Torrontés wines are aromatic. They are fruity, but dry, light to medium bodied, depending partly on where the grapes are grown, have good acidity, and moderate alcohol levels. They have aromas and flavors that include Meyer lemons, peaches, lemon zest, rose petals, geraniums, perfumes and spices like
cinnamon, cardamom, white pepper. Their are great matches for curries, coconut flavored dishes, Thai spicey peanut dishes, and, of course, roasted and fried turkey. Terrazas de Los Andes Reserva is a good example of what a Torrontés wine can be. Terrazas is a winery located in the Luján de Cuyo area of the Mendoza region of Argentina, founded in 1996 as part of Moët-Hennessy. They refurbished an old winery, from 1898, planted vineyards, and did more soil analysis and electro-condutivity mapping than most of the vineyards in the country. Each grape variety, Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Torrontés is grown at specific elevations that are best for them. Terrazas Torrontés comes from vineyards in Cafayate in the more northern Salta region. Which means it is the more dry, clean, fresh style of this wine. (Torrontés wines from Mendoza grapes are fuller bodied. A different style is all, so consider them both.) Its aromas and flavors are many and complex. Beyond the basic lemon and peach notes, it also has blood orange, kumquat, green tea, Chinese five spice blend, basil and more. It is crisp but smooth on the palette. And perfect for the holidays. For $12.99. Enjoy. Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island.

Astonished & Amazed Teaching With Authority
When Jesus taught, it was like nothing anyone had ever heard. Great crowds gathered wherever he went, hanging on his every word. He taught about God in a way that everyone could understand, and yet his words had a mysterious depth. He wasn’t afraid to condemn sin and to call his listeners back to God. He preached these religious and moral truths with an unparalleled insight into the human heart. But one aspect of his teaching was truly shocking to his listeners. The people were astonished that Jesus taught with authority. In the beginning of Mark’s gospel, Jesus and his disciples traveled to Capernaum, a town beside the Sea of Galilee. On the Sabbath day, when people gathered to worship God, Jesus began to teach in the synagogue. His listeners were “astounded at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.” (Mark 1:22) His fame began to spread throughout the surrounding region.
Jewish teachers usually relied on the authority of others. Moses was revered as the greatest lawgiver in Israel’s history, yet he was not sharing his own wisdom, but rather what he received from God. This is why he and the other Israelite prophets usually prefaced their words with phrases like “God says” or “Thus says the Lord.” Similarly, in the days of Jesus, religious leaders such as the scribes would not teach from their own authority, but would constantly refer back to Moses and others who had gone before them. Jesus taught as if he did not need any authority besides himself. He did not usually support his preaching with appeals to Moses or the prophets. He actually does the opposite: changing or adding to the law received from Moses. On multiple occasions during his famous Sermon on the Mount, for example, Jesus references Mosaic law and then declares, “But I say this.” (Matthew 5) In his teaching, Jesus calls his listeners to reconsider some of the most sacred aspects of their religious identity, such as the Temple and the Sabbath day. Jesus acts as if he is the lawgiver, not merely its interpreter. In our day, there would be an uproar if a NFL referee said, “The rulebook says that field goals are worth three points, but I declare they are now worth ten.” For his Jewish audience, the actions of Jesus are much more revolutionary. He is presenting himself as the new Moses, and even greater than Moses. Since the law was given to the Israelites by God himself, only God can change it. And yet this is precisely what Jesus does, as if he were God standing in their midst. The teachings of Jesus still astonish and amaze us today. When we take the time to read the gospels for ourselves, Jesus is revealed to be much more than the friendly teacher he is portrayed to be in popular imagination. He reveals the deepest truths about God and about how we are to live. The crowds press around him because their hearts yearn for truth and to be united with God. Two thousand years later, our hearts still ache with these same desires, and the teachings of Jesus resonate as powerfully as ever.
