By Sally Mahan As the weather starts to cool down (at least a little bit), fall festivals and pumpkin patches are springing up around Northern Beaufort County.

An army of volunteers unloaded 44,000 pounds of bright orange pumpkins on Oct. 1 at Carteret Street United Methodist Church to kick off the annual pumpkin sales for the church’s Youth Ministry, according to Lynn Stratton.

“We have about 2,500 pumpkins ranging in size from small as a baseball all the way up 25-30 pounds,” Stratton said.

She added that because of construction of a new elevator at the church, the pumpkin patch’s space was reduced.

“We’re using the next door parking lot at the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce for our spillover. We

couldn’t have done this without the chamber’s help.”

Stratton said the hours of operation are from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays; and noon to 6 p.m. Sundays.

Meanwhile, the weather was as perfect as it could be for the third annual Lowcountry Fall Festival at Lowcountry Produce in Seabrook on Sept. 30.

“We wanted to do something for fall in our area so we came up with this idea a few years ago” said Martha Garrette, owner of Lowcountry Produce. “We had everything from shecrab soup, jewelry, arts and crafts and fine art. The only stipulation is everything our vendors bring to sell has to be handmade.”

There are several other fall festivals planned around town. They include: See FALL, page A5

Recreational shellfish season opening delayed Staff reports

The 2017-2018 season for recreational harvesting of shellfish (clams, oysters, mussels and other bivalves) in coastal waters off South Carolina will open a half hour before official sunrise on Sunday, Oct. 15.

The recreational season opening has been delayed for two weeks due to water quality impacts from Tropical Storm Irma.

The recreational shellfish season will remain open through May 15, 2018, unless conditions warrant extending or shortening the season.

When the season opens Oct. 15, it will be important for harvesters to check with the S.C. Department of Health & Environmental Control (DHEC) to verify whether any closures remain in effect. This information

By Sally Mahan

The beach and campground at Hunting Island State Park, one of the most popular sites in Beaufort County, was set to be closed until 2018 due to a series of storms and flooding, most recently Tropical Storm Irma.

However, state park officials say the north beach will reopen on Thursday, Oct. 12, along with 175 parking spaces. The campground will likely remain closed through the end of the year.

According to Ray Stevens, regional chief for the Coastal Region of South Carolina Department of Parks, Recreation & Tourism, the unexpected reopening of the beach was made possible due to the fact that they were able to get pumping stations up and running so that waste can be pumped out. Saltwater intrusion caused by flooding damaged the park’s electrical systems, but repairs to the pumping stations were accomplished ahead of schedule.

Meanwhile, in order to accommodate traffic, the old entrance to the park near the lighthouse will serve as an exit road, according to Stevens.

Hunting Island has experienced a series of ups and downs since Hurricane Matthew hit in October 2016.

injured and received attention from Beaufort County EMS. Firefighters then responded to the second collision on Ribaut Road, this time in front of the bowling alley. Firefighters found that two vehicles had collided but there were no injuries and only minor hazards in the roadway.

Fire department gets $1.57M to hire personnel

The Federal Emergency Management Agency has awarded an Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program Award in the SAFER category (Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response Grants) to the City of Beaufort/ Town of Port Royal Fire Department in the amount of $1,569,678.

This grant will allow the department to hire 15 new firefighters.

“This is an economic boost for our economy at a time when our communities are seeing growth in many sectors,” said Fire Chief Reece Bertholf. “Our department has a residency requirement of Northern Beaufort County.

That means that every dollar of this grant, which will be spent directly on salaries and benefits for firefighters, has a high probability of being spent right here in our community.”

DISCLAIMER

A smoke detector alerted a Burton family to a fire in their home on Sept. 27, allowing the family of three to safely escape and limited damages.

Just after 11:30 p.m., Burton firefighters were dispatched to a reported house fire on Mroz Road in Burton. They arrived to find smoke and flames coming from the side of a single-story home.

The family, an adult and two children, were safely outside.

Firefighters were able to quickly contain and control the fire. While the home suffered smoke and heat damage throughout, the fire damages were limited to the bedroom area where the fire is believed to have started by a Hoverboard that was recharging.

The MCAS Beaufort Fire Department also responded and assisted at the fire as part of a new automatic aid agreement between the air station and the Burton Fire District. As part of this new agreement, the air station will now automatically dispatch a fire engine to assist Burton.

Beaufort County and SouthernCarolina Alliance (SCA), the regional economic development organization representing Allendale, Bamberg, Barnwell, Colleton, Hampton and Jasper counties, announced that Beaufort County has joined the SouthernCarolina Alliance team.

The partnership was finalized through the efforts of the council-appointed Beaufort County Economic Development Corporation and approved by Beaufort County Council.

SouthernCarolina Alliance will provide economic support services to Beaufort County through a regional strategy based on the assets of Beaufort County and the region.

“SCA welcomes Beaufort County to our regional team. The county has unique qualities that will enhance the diverse array of properties and workforce that we offer industrial prospects through our global marketing campaign,” said SouthernCarolina Alliance Chairman Buddy Phillips.

“Beaufort County Council and community

leaders share our belief that the way to stimulate the economy and improve the quality of life for our citizens is through job creation.”

“Good economic development is a priority for Beaufort County Council,” said Beaufort County Council Chairman Paul Sommerville. “SouthernCarolina Alliance has a 21year track record of success in recruitment and marketing, and we want to utilize that expertise to bring new opportunities to the county. Economic development not only brings new jobs for our local workforce, the capital investment by new and growing industries will allow us to expand our tax base, thereby providing sustained services to our citizens.”

According to SouthernCarolina Alliance President and CEO Danny Black, Beaufort County is positioned for growth, and the focus will be on recruiting industries that will enrich the community and bring high-paying jobs to the area.

SouthernCarolina Alliance’s Executive Committee welcomed Beaufort County into the Alliance, saying, “Beaufort County’s workforce, from recent graduates to military personnel, will be attractive to industries demanding skilled employees. We hope that by recruiting companies to build a larger tax base to shoulder the growing costs of community services like healthcare, infrastructure and education, we can maintain the high quality of life enjoyed in Beaufort County.”

the salt water intrusion into the electrical and plumbing systems. The park’s remaining 110 campsites were reopened with improved electrical and water service, and four comfort stations were revamped.

It seemed that the park was on its way to recovery.

Then Tropical Storm Irma hit on Sept. 11 and it was back to square one.

The park again suffered damages to its electrical and plumbing systems, causing it to close down.

But officials are hopeful that the campground will reopen after the new year and a beach renourishment plan is in the works.

Up to 1.2 million cubic yards of sand will

be pumped along 11,700 linear feet of Hunting Island’s shoreline. Additionally, four new groins will be added.

As one of the most vulnerable locations on the island, the north end of the island between the lighthouse and the campground would receive the majority of the new sand.

The proposed restoration work would likely begin in early 2018, be completed by the start of the 2018 season, and cost about $10 million, the most expensive Hunting Island beach restoration project to date.

The island’s eight previous beach restoration projects totaled $13.1 million, according to the 2016 permit request. The island’s beaches typically undergo normal renour-

ishment every eight to 10 years, and the last project was completed in 2006.

The renourishment project would minimize impacts to wilderness sections of the beach and would provide new beach habitat for shorebirds and sea turtles.

As one of the state’s most popular parks with more than 1 million visitors during a fiscal year, the restoration project could also result in a boost to Beaufort County’s economy as more visitors flock back to the popular beach and campsite.

“One thing I can say is that we’re never bored and lonely,” said Stevens.

HEALTH

BMH recognized for infection prevention Beaufort Memorial Hospital (BMH) has racked up another three Certified Zero Harm Awards from the South Carolina Hospital Association (SCHA), along with special recognition for holding state records in preventing two major classes of hospital-acquired infections, according to a release.

The 197-bed nonprofit hospital reported no central-line-associated bloodstream infections in the Intensive Care Unit and surgical site infections during colon surgery for 45 consecutive months. It was the only area healthcare facility to earn state records in two categories.

“Beaufort Memorial has worked diligently to improve patient safety in every area of care, including hospital-acquired infections,” BMH President and CEO Russell Baxley

said. “Preventing bloodstream and post-surgical infections for such an extended period of time is a

testament to the commitment our staff has shown in protecting our patients.”

The hospital also received a Certified Zero Harm Award for having no surgical site infections during abdominal hysterectomy surgery for 12 months.

The South Carolina Hospital Association has been giving out Zero Harm Awards since 2013 to acknowledge hospitals that are on the forefront of preventing medical errors, which by some estimates is the third leading cause of death in the United States. This is the second year Beaufort Memorial has won three of the awards.

To earn a Certified Zero Harm Award, hospitals must experience no preventable hospital-acquired infections of a specific nature over an extended period of time. All hospital data used for the awards is independently verified by the South

Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control.

As part of a collaboration with The Duke Endowment and The Joint Commission Center for Transforming Health, SCHA and South Carolina hospitals have taken part in a statewide effort to reduce harm by implementing robust practices shown to improve patient safety and quality of care.

“Celebrating milestones, such as zero infections within a given time frame, is a crucial part of our hospitals’ collective journey to highly reliable healthcare,” said South Carolina Hospital Association Vice President for Quality and Safety Lorri Gibbons. “Zero patient harm is possible only if physicians, clinical and support staff members work together.”

TIDES FOR BROAD CREEK, HILTON HEAD ISLAND

TIDE CHART

depending upon the storm’s predicted course, and chose Charlotte, a free place for me to stay. A neighbor headed in the same direction and I hopped in the car and skedaddled.

Not until we were cruising through downtown Yemassee – too late to turn back – did I remember the family photos. At that moment I learned that what gets left behind during a storm evacuation must be kissed a teary goodbye, with a hope for the best.

Self-employed, I packed a number of clients’ editing projects, books to read and of course, my work-in-progress first novel. I’d like to say I returned home five days later having lightened my work load. But the truth is that I could not concentrate on anything but The Weather Channel.

I fixated on its multicolored maps of Matthew’s meandering path and Jim Cantore hanging onto a palm tree, his foul weather gear flapping in hurricane-force winds.

Whenever I wasn’t glued to a television screen, i.e. during time spent with beloved family members I see far too infrequently, my attention returned to the Lowcountry, friends who had chosen to stick it out, and my house, where those photos remained.

While seeming to engage in conversation, I became aware that I was completely distracted, counting the minutes until I could check with Jim again.

I’ve now heard this phenomenon called “hurricane brain” and realize it to be a commonality among those leaving lives behind to flee a natural disaster. It’s the constant wondering and waiting. The not knowing.

Enter the above don’t-know mind concept, which is, in fact, a Zen koan, i.e., a puzzling, often paradoxical statement used in Zen Buddhism as a means of gaining spiritual awakening.

One explanation of the don’t-know mind,

Your apprehension will ease if you choose to focus on a positive belief, such as “I don’t know what the outcome will be of” an impending hurricane – or that of a job-related interview, a delicate surgery, a longawaited court case, a month in rehab, or an anxiety-producing adoption request.

simply put, is not knowing the answers to some of life’s big questions, accepting the fact that you do not know, and choosing not to worry about the outcome.

“I don’t know” questions beliefs, such as “a hurricane often destroys everything in its path. My house, my friends and my business are all in its path, so I’m likely to lose everything.”

The thing is, you don’t know that for sure.

No one does. Your apprehension will ease if you choose to focus on a positive belief, such as “I don’t know what the outcome will be of ” an impending hurricane – or that of a job-related interview, a delicate surgery, a long-awaited court case, a month in rehab, or an anxiety-producing adoption request.

Adding an upbeat mental spin inserts powerful positive energy into a situation.

Another koan follows that of the don’t know mind: “Be like a reed blowing in the wind.” In other words, accept whatever is happening, and above all, stay present and be flexible.

My “get ready” list now includes those photos, securely saved on a flash drive.

TIDES FOR BEAUFORT

The Lowcountry’s recent encounter with the edges of what arrived in Beaufort as watery Tropical Storm Irma brought back to mind the importance of getting as ready as possible for come-what-may.

And then waiting to see whether or not to leave.

Unless, of course, you want nothing to do with wind and water, you’re not fond of those interstate parking lots, and/or you’re looking forward to a “stay-cation” with Aunt Ethel in the Upstate.

But if you’d really rather hunker down in your own comfy home, it’s the waiting, and if you remain, the long hours of the storm’s duration, that are the truly difficult parts. It’s the frustration of “not knowing.”

Enter those wise Buddhists, who have a saying for uncertain times. “The ‘don’t-know mind’ is a powerful place to be.” I’ll explain.

As a 12-year resident of this lovely land, I experienced my first evacuation last October when Matthew blew in.

HEALTH

The COSY Seeing dentist regularly part of good oral health Trust presents:

By Dr. Mark Siegel

Many dental patients don’t think twice about the recommendation to come in twice a year for an exam and cleaning. Others wonder if they really need bi-annual exams.

The answer is yes, according to the American Dental Association (ADA).

A professional cleaning rids the mouth of bacteria and plaque that can accumulate quickly. The exam portion allows dentists to see potential problems, such as tooth decay and oral cancer.

The ADA recommends an appointment every three months for those considered high-risk to develop a long-term dental health problem.

Preventive care Even the best dental patients need help from the professionals to maintain healthy gums and teeth. That is because dental hygienists use tools people just don’t keep at home. This equipment cleans around the entire tooth while removing plaque and tartar at the same time. A hygienist also polishes your

teeth after cleaning them.

You could brush and floss many times each day and still not be able to clean your teeth the way a dental hygienist can. That is the main reason for the Dr. Mark Siegel bi-annual appointment recommendation.

An examination by a dentist is the other part of a six-month check-up. If your dentist discovers any problems, you can schedule a follow-up appointment right away without waiting another half-year for a dentist to examine you.

Both the dentist and the hygienist give you helpful tips on caring for your oral health at home that you probably wouldn’t have known otherwise. People often don’t know they have a dental problem until it’s quite advanced.

Preventive care check-ups catch issues earlier when they’re more treatable.

What to expect Every patient has their teeth cleaned and

receives an exam when he or she visits the dentist. Some patients need X-rays as well.

This helps dentists see issues that might not be visible, such as decay between teeth.

The preventive dental exam is also a frontline defense against oral cancer because dentists check for signs of it at each appointment. Patient education typically occurs at each visit also.

As a general rule, the more time a patient gives to taking care of their teeth at home means much less time in the hygienist’s chair during your dental visits.

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

By Justin Jarrett

The postseason is just around the corner for fall high school sports teams, and it’s shaping up to be a busy season at Beaufort High School.

While the biggest buzz at BHS is centered on the football team’s first 5-0 start since 2013, the Eagles’ success this fall goes well beyond the football field.

The girls tennis and volleyball teams both sit in second place in Region 8-4A, the cross country and girls golf teams have had athletes claim individual wins, and the swim team is gearing up for the S.C. High School League state meet.

“Our Eagle fall sports teams are off to fantastic starts,” BHS athletics director Linc Lyles said. “We have now started region play in all sports and have crucial contests this week that will determine upcoming playoff seeding spots.”

The Eagles’ football team continued its perfect start to the season with a 56-3 rout of R.B. Stall to open region play Sept. 29 and will travel to Colleton County for another region matchup on Oct. 6. BHS is looking to win its first six games to start the season for the first time since a 9-0 start in 2008.

BHS has outscored opponents 168-54 through five games thanks to a powerful running game and a dominant defense. Running back Kyleik Middleton is putting up huge numbers on the ground — 655 yards and eight touchdowns — with the help of strong offensive line play, and quarterback Jeffrey Smyth has been efficient passing the ball while also helping in the ground game.

The BHS defense has held its last two opponents in single digits, with Reid Daughtry (seven tackles for loss, five sacks) and Brendan Bowersox (three tackles for loss, four sacks) wreaking havoc in opposing backfields and Smyth and Reggie Jones causing problems for quarterbacks with three interceptions apiece.

The Eagles have two huge region

B1

matchups remaining at home with defending Region 8-4A champion Berkeley visiting on Oct. 13 and Cane Bay coming in on Oct. 20 before wrapping up the regular season at Hilton Head Island High School on Oct. 27.

The cross-county rivalry with the Seahawks is heating up in other fall sports, too.

The BHS girls tennis team is 7-1, with the only loss coming to Hilton Head High.

The Eagles get a rematch with the Seahawks at home on Oct. 10, and they need to swing only one singles match in their favor from last month’s 4-2 loss to force a winnertake-all match at No. 1 doubles. The Eagles have not lost an individual match in their seven victories, and McKenzie Daniel and Lucy Bruns are undefeated in singles play.

BHS also trails Hilton Head High in the Region 8-4A volleyball standings, as the Seahawks have handed the Eagles their only two losses in region play. Finishing second in the region would allow BHS to host a firstround match in the Class 4A playoffs.

Most encouraging of all for the Eagles is the fact that their statistical leaders in virtually every category — freshman Chase Vaigneur (108 kills), sophomore Madison Gallion (196 assists, 55 aces), and freshman Caroline Malphrus (199 digs) — are underclassmen.

The BHS cross country team also is leaning on talented youngsters, as freshman Marlon Belden and eighth-grader Nash Mills finished first and second in the boys’ 5K race, leading the Eagles to a third-place team finish at the Beaufort County Cross Country Championships.

The BHS girls finished fourth at the county meet, and both teams have two races remaining before the region, Lower State, and state championships.

Individuals on the swimming and girls golf teams also have big hopes for the postseason, especially golfer Izzy Stone, a sophomore who recently won medalist honors at a fourteam meet featuring all the Beaufort County public school teams. Stone and the Eagles have one more county meet in Bluffton before the region, Lower State, and state meets.

SCHOOLS SCHOOL BRIEFS Make-up dates have been changed

Because of student testing at several schools on Saturday, Dec. 9, that cannot be rescheduled, the previously scheduled weather make-up day for all students is being moved back one week to Saturday, Dec. 16.

This means that the Beaufort County School District’s two weather make-up days related to Tropical Storm Irma will now be Saturday, Nov. 18, and Saturday, Dec. 16.

AP students earn free college credits

More than half of Beaufort County School District students enrolled in Advanced Placement courses in 2016-17 scored high enough on their final exams to earn free college credits, the College Board reported recently.

Advanced Placement – and the accompanying College Board exams that demonstrate mastery of the course material – let students earn free college course credits while still in high school.

Last school year, 54 percent of Beaufort County School District students taking AP exams scored 3 or better on the tests’ 5-point scale, qualifying them for college credit.

That was down slightly from the previous year’s 55 percent, which was the district’s alltime high, but up significantly from 48 percent five years ago.

Across the district, 525 individual students scored high enough to earn college credits compared to 538 last year and 537 five years ago.

The total number of exams taken was 1,480, up from 1,374 last year and down from 1,707 five years ago.

Superintendent Jeff Moss said that fewer students are taking AP courses because more are taking advantage of “dual enrollment” courses that also allow them to earn college credits while still in high school through partnerships with colleges and universities.

“Either way you look at it – whether it’s dual enrollment or AP courses – our students are setting higher standards for themselves, and that’s certainly encouraging,” Moss said.

Among Northern Beaufort County public high schools over the past five years: • Battery Creek High: Thirty-one percent of students taking AP exams scored high enough for college credit in 2016-17, down from 43 percent the previous year and up from 13 percent five years ago.

• Beaufort High: Fifty-two percent scored high enough for college credit in 2017, compared to 49 percent the previous year and 55 percent five years ago.

• Whale Branch Early College High offers college courses through its partnership with the Technical College of the Lowcountry rather than offering AP courses through the College Board.

"Through the use of this state-of-the art technology, we can provide intense support to the academic and social behavioral needs of a growing population of students in our state."

Since 2011, the number of students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in South Carolina has nearly doubled from 4,000 to over 8,000 students in 2017. Recognizing the need to provide an evidence-based curriculum for students with ASD and the need to support educators, the Office of Special Education Services invested in Milo and through the use of federal funds will pilot the humanoid robot and curriculum in 15 districts for a three-year period.

Developed by RoboKind, a company based in Dallas, Milo teaches elementary and middle school students the understanding and meaning of emotions and expressions, and demonstrates appropriate social behavior and responses.

Through interactions with Milo, students learn to tune in on emotions, express empathy, act more appropriately in social situations, self-motivate and generalize in the population.

Each robot can assist up to 15 individual students with ASD by providing a minimum of 60 minutes weekly of special education services related to behavior, pragmatic speech or social/emotional learning.

Information sessions set for Polaris Tech charter

Eight community and parent information sessions are set across Jasper County over the next six weeks to share details and how to apply to the Lowcountry’s newest state charter school, Polaris Tech.

The public sessions typically last about an hour and include an overview of the school, what makes it different, and how to apply starting in January.

VOICES

‘Racist scum?’ Colleges should set higher standard

By Richard Eckstrom

I believe that most Americans are repulsed by racism. Unfortunately, their feelings of repulsion are often exploited for political gain.

Especially now, in a time of hyper-racialization, the rush to frame all issues in racial terms often seems done to create political capital or avenge a political setback. Claims of racism have become a weapon to attack even benign sentiments, including a person's preference for a particular political candidate or party.

Recent online rants by a Clemson University professor generated a backlash on and off campus. His behavior offers a good example of the senseless race-based hysteria taking place nationally.

"All trump (sic) supporters, nay, all Republicans, are racist scum,” read an August Facebook post by the professor. “All republicans? Yes. Your complacency made this happen. Pick a side: denounce your affiliation, or admit you're a racist."

Another of his posts went to an even further extreme by appearing to advocate violence: “I admire anyone who stands up

against white supremacy, violent or non-violent.”

The first thing that strikes me is that Clemson University, a school I truly appreciate and admire, should be embarrassed to have this man Richard as a professor. Frankly, his Eckstrom comments were ignorant.

Generalizing roughly half the American population as racist simply because of their presidential preference exhibits woefully unsophisticated reasoning, especially for someone of a university professor’s stature.

After an outcry from members of the Clemson community, the university issued a statement condemning “expressions condoning or advocating violence or hatred.”

Was its response adequate?

College campuses have long leaned toward the liberal end of the spectrum, and that’s becoming increasingly so. (That’s not just my opinion; it’s supported by research and survey results, including a recent UCLA survey of university faculties nationwide.)

And that leftward lean has shown itself in troubling ways. Efforts to scrub conservative ideas from many campuses are well-documented, with scheduled speakers being disinvited or forced to cancel presentations.

The expression of views that don't fit the prevailing campus view has sparked protests, no-holds-barred shaming, even calls for disciplinary action.

It seems that many colleges and universities take a much more serious posture against “politically incorrect” speech than they do against genuine infractions of greater consequence, such as the advocacy of violence. In that regard, it's interesting to compare how Clemson dealt with the professor’s comments to the way it handled an incident last year.

In April 2016, an incident which was initially thought to be racially motivated spurred campus protests and a nine-day sit-in, as well an investigation into who was responsible. As it turns out, administrators early on had determined that the incident wasn’t race-related at all, yet chose to use it as a “teachable moment” – a revelation that

later came to light after students obtained emails between university officials.

As part of this teachable moment, Clemson announced an ambitious eight-point plan, including mandatory diversity training for its employees.

In the wake of the recent “racist scum” episode, I’d offer that a different kind of training is in order. Perhaps the training should be in common decency … a lesson to teach the public benefit of using persuasion, rather than insults, to advance a viewpoint.

Those in positions to educate young minds and shape perspectives have an obligation to strive for a higher standard of dialogue. At the very least, a college professor should comprehend the difference between honest preferences for how we are governed and ill-will toward an entire race.

All reasonable people agree that racism is a scourge. Imposing racist overtones to anything and everything demeans the efforts of good people on both the left and right who are honestly seeking to combat the scourge, and further widens the gulf that divides us.

Richard Eckstrom is the S.C. comptroller.

It’s a sad day when the old Hoover dies There was a moment in my house, a few weeks ago, when my old vacuum cleaner was humming along and then suddenly began to make some very nasty sounds; then nothing.

That was it. The day my Hoover died.

The old girl had been a faithful machine doing her job for years, but had ultimately been relegated to an upstairs guest bedroom closet, used only occasionally for a quick sprucing up. Otherwise, I use the new “Hoover- Handy Dandy Dog Dandruff Super Easy Tunnel” vacuum cleaner.

It was inevitable that the old girl would go. There had been hints for a while she was nearing the end of her useful life.

First, it was getting very difficult to find the old “A” bags required, those long white paper bags that would hold all the dirt and dust and then get thrown out. Or if you did not have any spare bags, you could shake out half the

Now what?

HIGHLIGHTING DAILY LIFE OBSERVATIONS

bag and start vacuuming again. Of course, the bag lost a lot of its integrity so you had to be very careful or you would find the contents of the bag spewed all over the room.

Fortunately, I discovered the thrift shops in town still had packets of 10 for me to purchase. The price was around $2, which was a real bargain considering how much they cost in previous years.

Then, ultimately, even the thrift stores

didn’t have them. I pictured some other woman, my age, scouring through shelves searching for her own Hoover bags.

After that, I knew it was getting closer to the end and I fought buying the new vacuum cleaner. But in the end, I had to succumb.

My Hoover had been so reliable through the years. Oh, I still had to replace some of those rubber belts which slowly disappeared from the shelves too. And it had been a while since

I had any of the original attachments.

I remember having to learn how to attach and use all the accessories. First, I had to turn the machine off, flip it over, slide in the “easy slip on” handle and then insert whichever attachment I needed. My living room would become a staging area for my Hoover.

Inevitably, the attachments broke and were not replaced.

After the Hoover coughed and shut off, I called my appliance repair man. He asked what model it was and when I told him, he said, “There’s an antique store in town that might want it, or give it to me for parts.”

Everyone is a comedian these days.

So, the old girl is in some vacuum cleaner graveyard. Now I picture my “white bag”seeking counterpart dredging through old machines, searching for that one last white “A” bag.

Long-term growth plans, traffic to agenda

By The Sea Island Corridor Coalition

We all breathed a sigh of relief when Irma turned West, but didn’t celebrate the storm’s visit to Florida.

We hope everyone here remained safe and above water.

The storm has interrupted a lot of things, so we wanted to provide an update on Sea Island Parkway developments.

Lady’s Island Beaufort County and City of Beaufort officials, together with two yet unidentified “community representatives” have been meeting to select a consultant to drive development of a “Lady’s Island Area Plan.” After receiving multiple responses to a County RFP, a consultant has reportedly been selected, and fees negotiated.

Plans were to announce the selection Sept. 5, but Irma intervened. We expect an announcement is imminent, and with it, further detail regarding the plan’s scope and direction.

Traffic plan After a lengthy journey, recommendations for traffic improvements on Lady’s Island (“Lady’s Island Corridor Plan”) were adopted unanimously by County Council at its

Aug. 28 meeting.

The council’s action followed adoption by the Metropolitan Planning Commission, Beaufort City Council and Beaufort County Planning Commission, and means that the recommendations – nine major initiatives with an estimated cost of $28.8 million – will be incorporated into the County’s Transportation Capital Improvements Plan (CIP).

Implementation – due both to funding and the need to integrate the plan with other on-going projects – will take place over a number of years.

The first project to be undertaken is expected to be a dedicated right-turn-only lane from Sam’s Point Road onto the Sea Island Parkway adjacent to Walgreen’s.

Tree ordinance Stronger penalties for illegal removal of trees, one of several changes to Beaufort County’s tree ordinances since the clear-cutting at Oyster Bluff in 2016, were also adopted by County Council at its Aug 28. meeting. The changes apply new requirements for new duplex or single family residential lots, and increases penalties (though not enough) for damaging or cutting protected trees.

Booze and Taco Bell?

Finally, the announcement last week that Taco Bell is adding booze to its restaurant offerings.

The company has announced plans to open between 300 and 500 new “cantina style” locations serving alcohol, with the aim of opening more than 2,000 new stores by 2022.

Now to be fair, most of the alcohol-serving locations are planned for urban locations. But as Taco Bell’s Chief Operating Officer Mike Grams says, Taco Bell “isn’t afraid to try new things.”

We’re hoping an application for a new liquor license for the Sea Island Parkway isn’t part of Taco Bell’s plans for Lady’s Island.

Stay tuned.

The Sea Island Coalition’s mission is to engage the community and work with government and the community to ensure successful and sustainable development that retains the look, feel and livability of the Sea Islands Corridor.

It also seeks to participate and assist in the short, intermediate and long range planning and zoning for the Sea Island Corridor and the lands that surround it.

‘Magic Flute’ coming to USCB live from the Met

By Alan Schuster

Mozart was 25 when he wrote to his father, saying that “to write operas now is my one burning ambition.”

In the next 10 years, he averaged one per year, including “The Marriage of Figaro,” “Don Giovanni,” “Cosi fan Tutte” and his finale, “Die Zauberflote,” better known as “The Magic Flute.”

Mozart considered it his best, as did opera lovers throughout Europe. Its premiere in Vienna in September 1791 was a huge success. And then, two months later, he died, his last wish being to see “my flute just one more time.”

It will be presented live in HD from the New York Metropolitan Opera at 12:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 14, at the USCB Center for the Arts.

Besides being the first composer to write an opera in a theatrical style, Mozart and his librettist, Emanuel Schikaneder (both Freemasons), set out to construct a symbolic story with a hidden meaning – expressing in varied musical styles the symbolisms of Freemasonry. Enhancing the Masonic plot was facilitated by the Singspiel (“song-play”) form of opera, a style of German-language music drama. This was characterized by separate musical numbers connected by dialogue and stage activity.

Act I The scene is a mythical Egypt of ancient days. Prince Tamino is rescued from a serpent by the three Ladies of the Queen of the Night.

But Papageno, a birdcatcher, claims that he slaughtered the beast. As

punishment the Ladies padlock his mouth. They also give him a portrait of the Queen’s abducted daughter, Pamina. He’s lovestruck, and sets out to rescue her, the Queen promising him her daughter’s hand if he is successful.

Protected by a magic flute, he journeys to the palace of Sarastro, the sun priest, where Pamina is held. Inadvertently, Papageno saves her from being attacked by Monostatos, Sarastro’s Moorish servant.

Papageno and Pamina go in search of Tamino, an Egyptian prince, who has arrived at the palace where the Speaker of the

Temple informs him that it is the Queen and not Sarastro who is evil.

Monostatos and his slaves confront Papageno and Tamino, but they escape. Pamina meets Tamino and they fall in love.

Act II Tamino and Papageno are told they must endure a series of trials if they are to be accepted into the Brotherhood of the Temple.

The first trial is a period of silence.

When Pamina is asleep, Monostatos again approaches but is harried by the Queen who gives her daughter a dagger.

She warns her that she can only regain her power if Sarastro is

Southern ladies to light up Lowcountry stage Local theatre company Coastal Stage Productions returns to The Shed in Port Royal with “The Dixie Swim Club,” a Southern comedy about friendships that last forever.

The story shares the lives of five unique women whose friendship began many years ago on their college swim team.

Every August since graduation, they rekindle their relationships in a cottage on North Carolina’s Outer Banks.

The play looks in on four of those weekends over a period of 33 years as the women catch up, laugh and meddle in each other’s lives.

“One of the most appealing aspects of this play is that the audience will personally relate to most of these real life situations,” said director Margy Oehlert. “That makes it the perfect show for ladies groups and couples.

In fact, we’re anticipating sell-out crowds.”

The cast of local talent includes Rebecca Bass, Donna Capps, Toye Hickman, Kelley Gray and Mimi Molina.

killed. Monostatos harasses Pamina once again, but this time Sarastro enters. He knows of the Queen’s plan, reminding Monostatos that the Brotherhood is bound by love.

Papageno gains a vision of his perfect match, Papagena, but is told that he will lose her if he fails the trials.

With the help of the magic flute they pass and, despite his failure to keep silent, the couple are reunited. The Queen of the Night and her Ladies and Monostatos are destroyed by a clap of thunder and laser lightning. All the other characters celebrate the victory of light over darkness.

The music Beginning with a massive, show-business overture which should rank as Mozart’s best, the music is astonishing in its variety.

What follows is a showcase for voices, ranging from deep and solemn bass arias for Sarastro to some extremely high and florid arias for the evil Queen of the Night, making it one of opera’s most difficult coloratura roles.

In between is some of the purest love music Mozart ever wrote, often interspersed by scenes of earthy comedy. And equally impressive as the overture is the magnificent finale.

Opera historian Charles Osborne wrote that the Flute is “an extraordinary opera with a final piercing phrase that lives in the ear long after the curtain has come down.”

Golda Schultz makes her Met debut as Pamina, Kathryn Lewek (Queen of the Night), Charles Castronovo (Tamino), Markus Werba (Papageno) and Rene Pape (Sarastro). Met Music Director Emeritus James Levine conducts Tony Award winner Julie Taymor’s sparkling production.

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

Order online at www.centerforthearts.com, or by calling 843-5214145. The box office opens at noon.

WINE

Great wine comes from poppy fields Poppy fields, with their bright colored flowers, are an awesome sight. But, these fields also grow more than flowers. For us, this week, that means grapes for our new Monterey wines.

Monterey County is known for much more than just great wines. There is Big Sur and its rugged coast, and Carmel’s bleached sand beaches, Pebble Beach and the rolling countryside just inland from the coast.

All together, the steep slopes of Carmel Valley, the rolling hills of Salinas Valley, the warm sun and cool fogs from the ocean and the ancient soils all combine to make superb grape growing conditions.

Over 200 years ago, Franciscan friars, in the Spanish mission of Soledad, planted the first grape vines here.

None of these old vines survive, but today there are about 40,000 acres of vineyards. (All wine grapes! No table grapes.)

In the 1960s, Monterey County’s potential as a quality winemaking area was recognized.

In 1960, Professor AJ Winkler, from UC Davis, published a report that categorized California grape growing areas by climate: Regions I through V. Monterey was in regions I and II, with comparable climates to Napa, Sonoma, Bordeaux and Burgundy.

Wine grapes from Monterey are easily distinguishable. They all have intense varietal flavors, which means their wines have the true tastes of the grapes they are made from.

Forty percent of the grapes grown are Chardonnay, with Cabernet Sauvignon being the second most planted variety. Besides Chardonnay, there are Pinot Noirs, Rieslings, and Pinot Blancs; and, from southern warmer vineyards, the Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Zinfandel.

Growing grapes in Monterey can be easier than in other parts of California. The vines tend to producer buds about two weeks earlier. And, harvest starts about two weeks later. Doing the math, that means Monterey grapes have about a month longer on their vines. (Extensive canopy work, meaning the pruning and training of the vines to ensure the grape bunches have shade and cooler air temperatures from their leaf cover, is extremely important.) This helps develop the fuller, more intense grape flavors these wines are known for.

Poppy was founded by the Silva family in the Salinas Valley in Monterey. This family had worked in the wine industry for about 45 years, and, in 2003, they decided to start their own winery. They chose the name “Poppy” for the view of their vineyards where wild pop-

pies grew in abundance.

The golden Poppy is the state flower of California.

So, appropriately, it is the name for wines that come from old winemaking techniques with new, California technology. Wines that are elegant and approach-

able for everyday.

Poppy Chardonnay is 100 percent Chard, from the Santa Lucia Highlands AVA in Monterey.

These vineyards have a steep slope, which is great for drainage, and eastern exposures for lots of sun and multiple ripening times for different plots.

This is an elegant Chardonnay with aromas and flavors of sweet golden apples, ripe citrus, almonds, creamy yeast, vanilla and oak. The finish has a touch of minerality and bright acidity. For $12.99.

Poppy Pinot Noir is also 100 percent its variety. These grapes come the the Arroyo Secco AVA. (The name means “dry river bed.”) In the canyons where these vineyards are located, they are shielded from the winds, which means they grow and ripen in slightly warmer temperatures. But, afternoon Pacific breezes keep them cool enough to lengthen their ripening time and develop their intense Pinot characteristics - fruit flavors with balanced acidity and deep colors.

This wine has bright red fruit aromas and flavors (raspberry, cherry, strawberry, currant) along with baking spices, black pepper, vanilla and oak. Interestingly, this wine grows in your mouth and finishes with a vibrant, juicy texture on top of all its flavors. For $13.99 Poppy Cabernet Sauvignon is made from 100 percent Cabernet from Paso Robles, at the southern tip of Monterey County. In production, some of these grapes go through thermovinification. Talk about California technology!

This process has some of the grapes going through fermenting with some other crushed grapes at very moderate temperatures, all to augment the wine’s fruitiness.

Blueberry, blackberry, black cherry and black currant aromas and flavors abound in this wine, along with licorice, violets, cigar boxes, vanilla and mocha. It is medium to full bodied with soft tannins and great dimensions. For $13.99.

So Poppy wines from the golden poppy fields of Monterey are all legal. And affordable. And plentiful. Enjoy.
