Lowcountry’s Sanford announces run for president
By Mike McCombs Former South Carolina Governor and U.S. Representative (R-SC-1) Mark Sanford announced Sunday, Sept. 8 that he will run as a Republican candidate for president, presenting a primary challenge for President Trump. Sanford, 59, had been considering a run for some time but delayed an announcement of his decision just a week earlier, saying he wanted to wait until the threat of Hurricane
Dorian had passed the Lowcountry. Sanford announced his decision on Fox News Sunday before explaining his decision in a series of Mark eight posts from his Sanford Twitter account later in the morning. Here is Sanford’s complete statement on Twitter: “I am compelled to enter the Pres-

As I have watched the Democrat debates I hear no discussion, or even recognition, of what is occurring. Instead I hear a laundry list of new unpaid for political promises. On the Republican side, spending is up well above President Obama. @realDonaldTrump has ruled out action on the very things that drive spending and accumulated debt. Debate is even being canceled on the Republican side, though I believe we need a conversation and ac-
tion more than ever given our present course. Essentially no one “leading” in Washington is leading, or even speaking of, our financial predicament. We are living in a government spending and financial la-la land. Which brings me to the larger question of what I, or any of us, can do about it? I have a unique vantage point

AFTER THE STORM
What’s brewing?
By Mindy Lucas A popular Lowcountry brewery is expanding its business in Beaufort County. Salt Marsh Brewing, currently based in Old Town, Bluffton, will open a second location at 1111 11th Street, in Port Royal. The $4.5 million project will include a restaurant, brewery and taproom with a dock offering “sunset views and shrimp boats galore.” The project is also expected to create about 70 to 80 jobs to begin with, said Salt Marsh Brewing co-owner Nick Borreggine. “About 43 of those jobs will be just on the brewery side,” he said. Borreggine – along with his father, Nick Borreggine Sr. – also owns Fat Patties in Bluffton and Port Royal. The two are partnering with investor Lynn Jersild for the new business, expected to open in December of 2020, he said. The three have been working with local economic development officials as well as the S.C. Department of Commerce on the project since January of 2019. A 7,000-square-foot warehouse that’s currently being used to process shrimp, will be renovated for the brewery which will feature an automated canning line. A 4,500-square-foot building next to it, which currently houses an industrial ice machine, will become the
idential Primary as a Republican for several reasons – the most important of which is to further and foster a national debate on our nation's debt, deficits and spending. We have a storm coming that we are neither talking about nor preparing for given that we, as a country, are more financially vulnerable than we have ever been since our Nation’s start and the Civil War. We are on a collision course with financial reality. We need to act now.

O
nly a few days after Hurricane Dorian passed dangerously close to the Lowcountry, there was hardly any sign a major storm had moved through the area, save for some downed trees and debris-strewn yards. The storm, which picked up strength as it closed in on South Carolina last week had fortunately
continued to move up the coast and stayed out to sea, causing less damage and hardly any flooding compared to previous hurricanes Matthew and Irma. By Monday, Sept. 9, most businesses and government offices had reopened and returned to their normal operating schedules. But for the first few days after, the

Beaufort’s Deer named top firefighter in North Carolina Lauren Deer, a Beaufort native and a 2002 graduate of Beaufort High School, was recognized as Firefighter of the Year for the state of North Carolina at the state’s annual awards banquet last month. Deer, a volunteer firefighter for Northern Wake Fire Department, earned the award at the annual North Carolina State Firefighter’s Association and Association of Fire Chiefs award banquet Aug. 25 after being nominated by her fire chief Tim Pope. Deer, the daughter Bill and Teena Deer, has a bachelor’s degree in biology from Clemson University, a master’s degree in divinity from the Baptist Theological Seminary at Richmond, and is completing her doctorate degree in ministry from Campbell University. She is also an ordained minister. Her mother Teena, a retired teacher with the Beaufort County School District, said it was Lauren’s uncle Drew who ignited her passion in the fire service. When Lauren Deer was 16 and

visiting family in Easton, Md,, her uncle, the town’s volunteer fire chief, took her with him on an emergency call, and it was then that Deer Lauren knew the fire service Deer was for her. As soon as she turned 18, Deer started volunteering as a firefighter locally, and began with the City of Beaufort Fire Department. While serving with Beaufort, she was an active member of its fire prevention programs, working with Burton Fire Captain Daniel Byrne, then Beaufort’s Fire Marshal, in local schools and businesses teaching safety, in addition to completing her firefighter training. It was also here in Beaufort that Deer’s mother Teena said fuel was added to her passion. Ever since, Deer has maintained a continuous connection with the fire service as a volunteer in other local communities. She became a local celebrity of sorts for the town of Wallace, N.C. as
the first female firefighter. In his nomination, Northern Wake’s Chief Pope said, “She has truly been a blessing to me personally, our department, our members and our community.” While Pope said Deer is consistently a top 5 percent performer in all categories monitored by the fire department, from responses to training hours, it is her services as a mentor and chaplain that really has made a difference for his department. Pope said that during the emotional passing of a beloved Fire Captain, Robert Nordman, who lost his battle with cancer last December, it was Lauren who kept their department together and got them through by guiding and counseling their firefighters and families, and remaining by Robert’s side during his final days. “She was the glue that held us all together,” Pope said. In addition to volunteering with the Northern Wake Fire Department, Lauren also volunteers with the N.C. First Responder Peer Sup-
port Team, which travels the state and counsels firefighters and their families who have suffered or experienced a crisis or trauma. It is here that Lauren hopes her doctoral work will continue to help her serve and strengthen her fellow firefighters throughout the state as they serve their communities. Lauren stated she hopes to bring awareness to the difficulties firefighters face as they deal with trauma, and help them find solutions in doing so. “To be nominated as the firefighter of the year for a state is one thing,” said Byrne, who attended the ceremony as Deer’s guest, “but to do so as a volunteer says so much more. She accomplished this not only by excelling in her profession, but by excelling in her passion as well. That passion is helping others and placing their needs before hers. Lauren has a purpose on this Earth and she is living it. She is a product of the family and community that raised her. Our community and the school district should be proud of what they sent into the world.”
Sheriff ’s deputies arrest man accused of Lands End sexual assault After a search that lasted more than a week, Codrian Smalls turned himself in Saturday, Sept. 7 to Sheriff's Office deputies in Beaufort. Smalls, of St. Helena Island, was arrested on a warrant for Criminal Sexual Conduct 1st Degree. On August 29, Sheriff's Office deputies responded to a residence in the Lands End community of St. Helena Island to a report of a burglary and sexual assault. The victim — a woman — re-
ported she was confronted inside her residence by an unknown subject — an African-American man — armed with a handgun. The vicCodrian tim reported that Smalls she was held at gunpoint by the unknown subject and sexually assaulted over a period of several hours. The victim reported that prior to
fleeing her residence, and although already armed with his own handgun, the subject stole a handgun from her bedroom. Sheriff’s Office investigators later identified the subject as Smalls, 24, and a Beaufort County magistrate issued a warrant for the arrest of Smalls for Criminal Sexual Conduct 1st Degree. Smalls was transported to the Beaufort County Detention Center and incarcerated without incident.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Beaufort County parents should demand music be part of their child’s education As a music educator for 25 years in the Beaufort County School District, I am sad to note the decline in arts education over the past several years. At one time Beaufort was recognized for its emphasis and integration for infusing the arts with the study of academics to ensure each student’s success-not only in school, but in utilizing life skills.
Educational opportunities are not the same, are not standard, for every child in our district. Several schools do not offer music in any form, such as general music, chorus, band or strings. Music is revered as the “universal language.” The adage “music is math” is research-based and just as relevant today as when the Greek scholars Pythagoras
and Plato first uncovered this unique relationship in their scientific discoveries. I encourage parents in our county to demand equality in regard to their child’s education. If your child is missing this vital music component, please refer to www.musicationadventure.com to provide a complete education. Cindy McKain, Beaufort

The Beaufort County Accommodations Tax Board is accepting applications from organizations in the County wanting to receive grants from the 2 percent state accommodations tax fund. Applications must be received by 5 p.m. Monday,
Sept. 16. The Board decided to extend the previous deadline of Sept. 9 due to county offices being closed during Hurricane Dorian. South Carolina law allows for a 2 percent tax levy on the rental of all transient accommodations to help provide financial support to promote tourism and fund tourism-related activities in municipalities and counties within the state. As a result, individuals staying overnight in hotels, motels, inns, and vacation rentals pay 2 percent in addition to the statewide sales tax and any local sales and use tax applied to their lodging cost.

South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson announced Monday, Sept. 9 that he’s part of a multistate, bipartisan investigation of tech giant Google’s business practices in accordance with state and federal antitrust laws. The investigation includes 50 attorneys general. The bipartisan coalition announced plans to investigate Google’s overarching control of online advertising markets and search traffic that may have led to anticompetitive behavior that harms consumers. Legal experts from each state will work in cooperation with Federal authorities to assess competitive conditions for online services and
ensure that Americans have access to free digital markets. “No company, no matter how big and how powerful, is above the law. Every citizen has the right to the protection of his or her privacy even from internet giants. We will get to the bottom of and answer these very serious questions regarding Google’s practices,” said Wilson.

Grief versus the control freak
O
ne of the necessary elements for me to maintain my recovery is to have order in my life. If you come into my home everything has a place, rooms have themes, things are organized by size/shape/color/function, etc. I have a giant dry-erase weekly to-do list hanging on my fridge, a paper weekly to-do list on my coffee table, and countless notepads to make daily to do lists to carry on me at all times.

ble; my reality consists of a world engaging with a multitude of people who do not function in that same exact way. It took me a while to accept that my perfect system is not the absolute perfect system for everyone in existence. And just because I accept it doesn’t mean I don’t still struggle with this pretty much on a daily basis. Grief laughs in my face when it comes to my system.
Grief is like a sleeper cell that could detonate at any unknown possible and most likely highly inconvenient moment. Some days I’m perfectly fine kicking ass and taking names, in alphabetical order of course. Other days there’s a grief explosion destroying everything in its path. What I can appreciate about grief is its ability to keep things interesting: sometimes it’s Hulk-like rage, other times it’s ugly hyperventilating crying, and once in a while for me it’s this black-hole void of nothingness where the mute button got hit on all five of my senses. More than anything grief is a teacher. It is within my

grief I am reminded of the importance to breathe in a state of deep reflection for what was, what is, and what will now never again be. Grief throws me in the lake without a life vest yelling, “sink or swim! You choose.” My choice. At the end of the day, the beginning of the day, all day, every day, it is my choice what I’m going to do with the all consuming this of my life. I love order, I need order, I crave order, yet I cannot
always have order in my life. Grief reminds me of that. Grief is that trust fall I did in Girl Scout Camp where I hope they’ll catch me, but I don’t 100 percent know they will until it actually happens. Does that mean I just stay there standing on that rock never even trying? Absolutely not. It means I need to use this grief to build me up, not tear me down, and place my faith in the universe that things are going to be okay. I need to place the faith into myself that I am going to be OK. Laura Kaponer is a mental health advocate and blogger, as well as a volunteer with the local chapter of NAMI.

Cataract surgery involves teamwork
W
hen we watch videos of cataract surgery, it seems like a solo act by the surgeon. While the surgeon is the most crucial member of the team, always remember that cataract surgery is teamwork. The team members in the United States often include: • the surgeon (the ophthalmologist) • the scrub tech (surgeon’s primary assistant) • the anesthesiologist or anesthetist • the circulating nurse • the ophthalmic tech in the clinic • the pre-operative nurse • the post-operative nurse
DR. MARK SIEGEL
• the surgical coordinator/scheduler • the rest of the team Remember that a great surgery requires that the entire team is functioning and working together. Recently I was working with a new scrub tech and new nurse for the first time. The nurse had difficulty with prepping the eye. This resulted in a central corneal abrasion which impaired the view during the entire surgery.
In cataract surgery there are many steps which I rely on the team for optimal results: • avoidance of a central corneal abrasion from the prepping • better draping of the patient to provide an optimal operative field • accurate head positioning to place the iris parallel to the floor • not allowing saline to touch the microscope lens in the middle of a case • handing the correct instruments in proper order These are, admittedly, minor issues and the patient still ended up achieving a beautiful result and 20/20 vision. Also, the surgery was completed in
10 minutes without complications or issues. But still, the critic in me says that it could have been just a bit better. And that’s what cataract surgery is about: getting incrementally better every case. When my scrub tech, who has helped me with thousands of cases, makes a suggestion during surgery, I always heed her advice. Her opinion is valuable and she has insight that is not tainted by the hint of denial that we surgeons sometimes have. The anesthesiologist understands the patient’s systemic health far better than any ophthalmologist and I always trust his/ her judgment. When my anesthesiologist tells me
that it’s better to postpone surgery for a particular patient for medical reasons, I trust their judgment and do exactly that. Cataract surgery is elective, and there is no sense in taking unnecessary risks to do a surgery today if it can be done in a safer manner in a few weeks. Every time I operate, at the end of the surgical day, I take time to thank each and every member of my surgical team. I have done this for 15 years in private practice – 20 years when residency and fellowship is included.

God Saves His People Jesus of Nazareth
The glorious days of King David are a faint memory. During the thousand years following his reign, the people of Israel were conquered several times and endured many hardships. At the start of the first century, Israel found itself without military power or glory, an unimportant province of the Roman Empire. God had promised that an everlasting kingdom would come from Israel, and that the entire world would be blessed through this family of faith. Had God forgotten his promises to his people? In this time of uncertainty comes a man named Jesus. He was born to a poor family and raised in Nazareth, a small town in the northern region of Israel called Galilee. There he lived a quiet life as a carpenter. At the age of about thirty, he began to travel throughout the countryside and towns of Israel, preaching a message that attracted people of all walks of life. The crowds are amazed by his words and actions. Jesus teaches as no one had ever taught, with a simplicity and a power that touches hearts. He shows great love and compassion to those who are seen as unimportant or without value. Wherever he goes, he performs great miracles. He heals the sick, the blind, and the lame. From those who are possessed, he casts out demons. He even forgives people their sins. On one occasion, after Jesus had shown control over nature, his followers ask, “Who is this, who even the wind and the sea obey?” (Mark 4:41)
His followers slowly begin to understand his true identity. Jesus reveals himself to them little by little, so that they are not overwhelmed. They gradually come to recognize that he is not an ordinary man. Something completely and utterly unthinkable has happened: God has actually entered into the world and become a human being! Like a warrior storming a castle to rescue his beloved, God had come personally into the world to save his people! Jesus is the true Son of David, the true King of Israel. As a descendant of King David, Jesus perfectly fulfills the promises given to David. He is truly the Son of God; he is the King whose kingdom will last forever. The Israelites expected a leader like David who would again make them victorious in battle, but Jesus does something much greater. By his death on the cross and his resurrection, Jesus defeats our greatest foes: sin and death. He allows humanity to once again be reunited to God. Through Jesus, all peoples and nations are blessed. Jesus fulfills the third promise to Abraham in a completely unexpected way. His victory was not meant for just the Israelite people, but for all peoples and nations. Through Jesus, the family of faith begun with Abraham expands into a worldwide family of faith, through which all peoples can come to know and to love him. Through his family of faith, Jesus continues to invite all to share in the victory he has won for us.

Blue Sky hosts hemp farming workshop
On a blazing September afternoon in the Lowcountry, a small group of farmers gathered in a field near Gardens Corner in northern Beaufort County to learn about South Carolina’s newest cash crop. Blue Sky Processing held the first in a series of Cultivators Workshops on Sunday at its headquarters in Seabrook, educating about 20 industrial hemp farmers from throughout South Carolina on “Soil and CBD Science Basics.” The attendance was only about half of what was expected due to uncertainty surrounding Hurricane Dorian, but Blue Sky President Jennifer Pfuhl was pleased with the turnout and excited about the feedback. Local farmers told organizers they were impressed with the level of expertise provided and the educational nature of the program, rather than a thinly-veiled sales pitch. “It was important for us to put together a program that truly educates farmers and helps them grow successful crops,” Pfuhl said. “Our goal with these workshops is to bring in people who are truly experts in their field and can share their wealth of knowl-
of taking the body’s cues with regard to how it responds to medicinal products, including cannabis. “Cannabis is not for everyone, yet it should be a first-line option — not the last resort,” Dr. Dhanabalan said. “Cannabis is not an entrance drug; it is an exit drug from pharmaceuticals, narcotics, alcohol and nicotine.” For the second half of the program, attendees followed Connolly to an adjacent field for an in-depth presentation on soil principles. Connolly’s presentation focused on the specific types of soil found in
various regions of South Carolina and the best strategies for growing successful industrial hemp crops in the region. “Marrying soil science and health science for hemp production is crucial,” Connolly said. “Understanding the soil properties of your soil and land as a hemp farmer and taking responsibility for the quality of your product can be a direct link for soil health to public health with regard to heavy metals and pesticides. Soil site assessments give valuable insights and provide a farmer with tools to help create sustainable land management practices.” Pfuhl says Blue Sky wanted to host the event in the spirit of collaboration and the notion that a rising tide lifts all boats. “It was great to bring together many of the key players in the emerging hemp industry here in Beaufort County and throughout South Carolina,” Pfuhl said. “At Blue Sky, we value cooperation and collaboration and believe we all can benefit from working together to share what we’ve learned on each of our journeys.” For more information, visit madebybluesky.com.

Chocolate lovers flock to the Chocolate Tree
HELPING HAND
By Bob Sofaly More than 350 people satisfied their sweet tooth by binging on chocolate Friday during the 35th annual All You Can Eat Night at The Chocolate Tree on Carteret Street. Event organizers said more than 200 tickets for the first session were sold in advance of the event and another 150 tickets sold for the second session. Participants were lined up down the block along both sides of the store. As staff and volunteers went in and out of the store, the smell of chocolate wafted out and moans of delight could heard.

Every year the Wardle Family Y works with partners Y-USA, Walmart, the Beaufort County School District and others to provide meals free of charge for students in the afterschool program as well as Y summer camps.

and set of experiences – as a Governor, as a Member of Congress and as a taxpayer outside of politics. I do believe we must have this conversation now and humbly I step forward. I respect the view of many Republican friends who have suggested that I not run, but I simply counter that competition makes us stronger. I believe competition of ideas is good, not bad, for the Republican Party and for our country. I ask for your wisdom, prayers, suggestions and time
along the road ahead. Please join us – get involved – and know how much I would appreciate hearing from you.” Much of Sanford’s announcement was reiterated in a press release Monday. In addition to the things he mentioned in his statement, he added that he hopes to bring “civility and humility” back to government. “The President’s approach has hampered needed debate and while he is often good in recognizing what's been ailing many Americans, he has not been as skillful in producing the “hows” of fixing what's wrong,” Sanford said in the release. “In many cases he has simply railed against the
system, and while there are big parts of Washington that need repair, throwing out institutions and traditions that have tempered the fiery spirits of politics for more than 200 years would be a mistake – particularly if you are a conservative.” Sanford joins former Massachusetts Governor William Weld and former U.S. Representative Joe Walsh (R-IL-8) as challengers to President Trump in the Republican primary field. How successful that challenge can be remains to be seen, however. GOP officials in several states, including here in South Carolina, are trying to
Kids between the ages of 7 and 18 are invited to join Beaufort Children’s Theatre for auditions for Mary Poppins, Jr. on Tuesday, Sept. 24 and Wednesday, Sept. 25 at USCB Center for the Arts in downtown Beaufort. Audition times for Tuesday are: 5:15-6:30 p.m. for ages 7 to 9 and 6:30-8 p.m. for ages 10 to 12. Wednesday, auditions are 5:15-7 p.m. for ages 13 to 18 and 7-8:15 p.m. for call-backs. cancel the 2020 primaries, making it nearly impossible for challengers to gain the delegates necessary to pose any real threat to Donald Trump. And Trump has indicated he has no interest in debating his challengers, Republican or Democrat. Sanford was South Carolina’s representative for the 1st Congressional District from 1995 to 2001 before being elected governor over Democrat Jim Hodges in 2002. He served two terms as governor and was known for being a fiscal hawk. His second term, however, was marred when, in 2009, he disappeared for roughly a week.

challenge. Arrington went on to lose to now-Rep Joe Cunningham. During his 12 years in Congress, Sanford served on a variety of committees, ranging from Transportation and Infrastructure to Budget, Oversight and Science. An Eagle Scout, Sanford graduated from Furman University where he received a Bachelor of Arts in Business. He later received a Master of Business Administration from the University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business. Sanford has also worked in real estate and has managed the family farm near Beaufort. He resides in Mount Pleasant. involving people experiencing breathing difficulties and chest pains, Byrne said. By midday Thursday, there was little evidence of any major flooding in the downtown Beaufort Historic District and a few people could be seen walking through Waterfront Park. Most of the businesses along Bay Street appeared to have weathered the storm well and only one broken window from a second floor could be found along the sidewalk in front of Lowcountry Real Estate. Hurricane Dorian follows Matthew in 2016, and Irma, in 2017, which caused considerable damage and flooding in the Lowcountry. The storm has caused at least 45 confirmed deaths in the Bahamas, according to national news outlets and the search for many more still missing, continues. site. Instead it will build on what’s already there, making the area even more of a visitor draw. “I would even throw Madison’s two blocks away into that mix,” he said. “I think all three of us will bounce off each other.”
Fire Department responded to 21 storm-related calls for downed trees or similar incidents, said department chief Reece Bertholf.
However, in Burton, a fire had crews with the Burton Fire District and Beaufort County Emergency Medical Services scrambling in the
middle of the hurricane. The fire, at a house on Bonaire Circle in the Shell Point area, broke out around 4:30 a.m. on Thursday, said

unique,” he said. Borreggine and his wife, who live on Lady’s Island, said they realized they were spending a lot of time in Port Royal for festivals and other events, so the new location made a lot of sense. “I’m looking forward to taking a boat to work,” he said.
The brewery will feature Salt Marsh’s trademark line of craft beer and a new line of fruited sour beers in which beer is aged in oak barrels with locally grown fruits added in. The restaurant, which hasn’t been named yet, does not have a set menu, but Borreggine said he envisions it
featuring fire-roasted meats and seafood. “But it will not be a seafood restaurant per se,” he said. He also doesn’t expect to be in direct competition with Fishcamp on 11th Street, a popular seafood restaurant overlooking Battery Creek, next door to the warehouse

His staff had insisted he was hiking on the Appalachian Trail, but he re-emerged to admit, tearfully, he had been in Argentina with girlfriend Maria Belen Chapur. Still, Sanford finished out his term as governor. Conservative South Carolina voters showed that, at least on some level, they had forgiven the contrite Sanford in 2012 when they elected him to Congress again. He served from 2013 to 2019 and was ofetn critical of Trump after he was elected to the White House. That criticism hurt him in 2018. Trump endorsed his opponent, Katie Arrington, who beat Sanford in a primary Captain Dan Byrne with the district. Firefighters arriving on the scene found a single family home with flames coming through the roof. While the blaze was brought under control quickly, high winds kept reigniting embers and driving flames, Byrne said. A man at the home was able to escape the fire and was uninjured, he said. The man has been displaced by the fire. Firefighters remained on the scene for longer than two hours making sure the blaze was fully extinguished. While the fire was unintentional, it has not been determined if it was caused by the storm, Byrne said on Thursday. The department also responded to more than 13 storm-related calls, involving trees and downed power lines, and were called to four medical emergencies

AROUND TOWN
Lecture to explore history of indigo crop in Beaufort Noted teacher and historian Margaret Pickett will present a lecture entitled “The History of Indigo in Beaufort’s Sea Islands” at 2 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 17 at the Beaufort Branch Library at 311 Scott St. This is the Margaret first lecture in Pickett the Beaufort History Museum/Beaufort County Library 2019 Fall Local History Series. Admission to the lecture is free. However, a donation of $5 is suggested and reservations are required. To sign up visit www.beauforthistorymuseum. com. Please print out the ticket and bring to the event. Funds collected will be used to support ongoing museum programs and the Phase II renovation of the Exhibit Hall currently under way. Phase I of the renovation opened last year.
Pickett is the co-director of Pickett Educational Resources, an independent researcher, author and living history presenter. In addition to developing and presenting history programs for schools, she has researched and created programs in which she portrays women of the past. Her current portrayals include Eliza Lucas Pinckney, Dorothy Sinkler Richardson and Rebecca Motte. She is the co-author of The European Struggle to Settle North America 1521–1608 and the author of Eliza Lucas Pinckney Colonial Plantation Manager and Mother of American Patriots, 1722–1793. The lecture will address the history of indigo in South Carolina and how it affected the sea islands around Beaufort. Indigo was a very important and lucrative crop because the blue dye extracted from the plants was in high demand.
In 1744 Eliza Lucas Pinckney sent a sample of indigo she had developed on her father’s plantation to England where it was said to be as good as the indigo produced by the French in their island colonies in the West Indies. Indigo soon became a valuable export for Carolina planters. Its cultivation and processing as dye produced one-third the total value of the colony's exports before the Revolutionary War. Manager of three plantations, Pinckney had a major influence on the colonial economy. The Beaufort History Museum, located in the historic Arsenal at 713 Craven Street, has evolved to focus specifically on the history of the Beaufort District. It strives to manage and display artifacts and documents held by the City of Beaufort, telling the compelling stories of this area from the early 16th Century until modern times.
Conroy Center, NeverMore Books welcome Susan Cushman The Pat Conroy Literary Center and NeverMore Books will host Susan Cushman, author of the short story collection Friends of the Library, for a book discussion from 5 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 17. Free and open to the public, the discussion will be followed by a book signing. Cushman returned to her home state of Mississippi to speak at Friends of the Library groups in 10 small towns in 2017-18, including Oxford, where she had previously studied at the Uni-
versity of Mississippi. Those visits and the people she met inspired the stories in this, her fifth book. Friends of the Library is the story of Adele Covington, who becomes an author in her sixties and goes on a book tour of Mississippi. Chasing her personal demons through the Christ-haunted South of her childhood, Adele befriends an eclectic group of wounded people and decides to tell their stories. “Friends of the Library reminds us of the affecting, em-

Monday night is Movie Night at USCB Center for the Arts

Monday movies start at 7 p.m. and all seats are $7. Tickets can be purchased online at uscbcenterforthearts.com or at the door. September 23: Honeyland – Nestled in an isolated mountain region deep within the Balkans, Hatidze Muratova lives with her ailing mother in a village without roads, electricity or running water. She’s the last in a long line of wild beekeepers, eking out a living farming honey in small batches to be sold in the closest city – a mere four hours’ walk away. Hatidze’s peaceful existence is thrown into upheaval by the arrival of an itinerant family, with their roaring engines, seven rambunctious children and herd of cattle. Hatidze optimistically meets the promise of change with an open heart, it doesn’t take long however, before a conflict evolves that exposes the fundamental tension between nature and humanity, harmony and discord, exploitation and sustainability. September 30: Raise Hell: The Life and Times of Molly Ivins – Raise Hell tells the story of media firebrand Molly Ivins, six feet of Texas trouble who took on the Good Old Boy corruption wherever she found it. Her razor sharp wit left both sides of the aisle laughing, and craving ink in her columns. She knew the Bill of Rights was in peril, and said “Polarizing people is a good way to win an election and a good way to wreck a country.” Molly’s words have proved prescient.

VOICES
It’s still the same Atticus Finch – decent and good
I
t is Friday night and I’m sitting in the first balcony of the Shubert Theatre having just seen Aaron Sorkin’s rendition of “To Kill a Mockingbird.” For Southerners of my generation, Harper Lee’s novel was the fictional narrative that forever defined the complexity and the tragedy of race relations in the American South. When the movie was released in 1962 it gave a much wider audience a heartbreaking, hauntingly beautiful portrait of the characters who populated the Southern landscape in 1934. For many of us who saw this movie (in 1963) it didn’t seem all that fictional or dated. At the center of the novel, and the movie, is Atticus Finch. He is a middle-aged widower trying to raise two precocious children (Scout and Jem) with the help of their African-American maid, Calpurnia. In the movie this small town lawyer living in lower Alabama
SCOTT GRABER
is played by Gregory Peck. Gregory Peck became — the instant we saw him in the role — the personification of a dignified, decent, conflicted Southern white man trying to remain dignified and decent in the segregated, unquestionable unequal, undeniably unfair society then existing in Depression-ravaged Alabama. When I first learned that Aaron Sorkin (of West Wing fame) was doing a remake, I assumed he was coming after Atticus Finch in an effort to diminish his dignity. I assumed he would use Harper Lee’s other novel, Go Set a Watchman, and rumors about Lee’s actual father to portray Atticus as
less than noble. I assumed that Sorkin was going after the notion that there were decent, dignified white men living in the American South in 1934. I was wrong. I am here to say that the current remake of To Kill a Mockingbird has preserved the Gregory Peck persona — the notion there were Southern men who risked their livelihoods, the lives of their children, to protect their wrongly accused African American kinsmen. But I know that this notion (of decent and dignified White men) runs counter to the current commonly held view that no such men existed. In Sorkin’s version, Atticus is played by Jeff Daniels of Newsroom fame. Daniels is the same troubled lawyer that we got in Gregory Peck. But in Sorkin’s re-telling there is real tension between Atticus and his son, Jem. (In the movie it was Scout, the daughter,
who was the ‘fighter’). In the play Jem is appalled when his father will not condemn or physically fight the play’s fulminating, frothing racist, Bob Ewell. He sees his father as weak. A coward. Calpurnia (in the play) is also angry at Atticus for his insistence that everyone, including the racist villain, deserves respect. In one hard-to-hear exchange, Atticus talks about the desperation of white farmers (this is the Depression) and how one must ‘crawl into their skin’ to understand their desperation and anger. Calpurnia is not buying any of this and makes her exasperation with her boss clear. Her persona is a dramatic departure from the sweet-talking, substitute mother character that we got in the movie version. Both Jem and Calpurnia believe the Bob Ewell is the personification, the essence of evil. Years ago — this is a digression — I was working in
Africa with my Congolese friend, Herve Miabiligana, and asked, “How do people like Mobutu Sese Seko, Robert Mugabe and Idi Amin happen? Why do they seem to happen most often in Africa?” “In this world, Scott, there is something called evil,” he said. “And evil has found a home in Mugabe and Mobutu.” “Really, Herve? Evil?” I said. “Yes,” he replied. “There is simply no other way to explain the horror they have brought to my people.” But there is a danger in accepting the notion that some people are evil. That means that there is no negotiation, no compromise, no redemption for these folks. If someone is evil, then you simply kill them. And in the novel, the movie and the play, Bob Ewell is dispatched, without regret, in the final scene. Throughout history we have seen what happens
when political leaders persuade the public that some group — think Jews, Tutsis and Chinese Uygurs — is evil. This is not to say that people are never cruel, or catastrophically wrong. But I’m not ready to believe that anyone, including the hate-spewing Bob Ewell, is acting under the direct influence of Satan. I cannot believe that Satan, or evil, can work his or it’s way into one’s subcutaneous tissue. Aaron Sorkin’s play — like the movie — is narrated by his children, Jem and Scout. Their simple, childlike voices give the play an honesty and innocence. (I would have liked to have the musical score we got in the movie.) But In the end, this version paints the picture of a thoughtful, decent man trying — trying his damnedest — to do the right thing.

A needed step toward improving SC’s beleaguered prisons
F
irst, let’s acknowledge the obvious: All is not well in South Carolina’s prison system. Its troubles have been pretty well-documented over the past few years, from inmates acquiring contraband – such as cell phones, drugs and weapons – to a deadly riot last year at the Bishopville prison. These aren’t easy problems to cure. Few would fault our hard-working correctional officers, whose facilities have long been understaffed and who – like so many of our police and other first-responders – operate in a high-stress, volatile environment where a routine day on the job can turn deadly in an instant. The fault more likely rests with the failure of lawmakers
RICHARD ECKSTROM
to respond fast enough to the rigorous demands placed on modern-day prisons; the proliferation of cell phones and increasingly elaborate contraband-smuggling schemes create emerging challenges for our prison system, which houses more than 20,000 inmates. To be sure, South Carolina’s beleaguered corrections system has come a long way over the past three years or so, thanks largely to a series of reforms that include
hiring more guards, raising guard salaries, and implementing innovative methods of preventing contraband from entering prisons. Still, other reforms are needed. One practical step toward improving our prisons – and creating safer conditions for correctional officers – would be to reduce the state’s prison population by housing less-dangerous offenders at local city and county detention facilities. I’ll elaborate. Last month, a team of performance auditors charged by lawmakers with reviewing the operations of our prison system recommended such a change. Under their proposal, offenders sentenced to less than a year of confinement – who would generally present less of a threat to society than would hard-
core offenders with stiffer sentences – would serve their time at their local jails. State law requires offenders sentenced to three months or more to be sent to state prisons – making South Carolina the only state with such a mandate. In 45 other states, offenders sentenced to a year or less remain housed at local detention centers. The benefits of such a change seem clear. It would reduce pressure on our under-staffed state prisons, which would help alleviate safety issues. It also would improve efficiency by cutting prisoner transport costs and by eliminating the current need to re-book and re-process prisoners initially booked and processed at local jails.
And it would improve the chances of rehabilitating those convicted of less serious crimes. It’s a terrible reality that minor offenders imprisoned alongside more hardened, less repentant convicts risk acquiring the hardened criminals’ habits and attitudes – increasing the odds that they’ll re-offend once released. Of course, any major reform is likely to face resistance. In this case, there’s understandable pushback from local officials who, among other things, complain that they’ll incur additional costs to house these short-term prisoners. Fair enough, but that’s a hurdle that can be overcome. It alone shouldn’t impede a measure which, to my mind, has far more advantages
than drawbacks. And just eliminating avoidable and duplicated functions would reduce the “big picture” costs. It simply makes sense. Our corrections challenges don’t get the attention they should, in part because we don’t get to view the conditions behind prison walls. But they impact each of us in some way; they impact our wallets, and our safety and security. Which means we all have a stake in making our prison system more secure, less costly, and more rehabilitative for those who will one day be back among us. Lawmakers should give this proposal the open debate and serious deliberation it deserves. Richard Eckstrom is a CPA and the state’s Comptroller.
A changing climate – political and environmental – impacts SC wildlife
H
By Sara Green urricane season is here and South Carolina’s First Congressional District has a lot to be grateful for. Stretching from about Awendaw to the Savannah River, the district is fortunate to have numerous permanently protected shoreline properties, areas that due to their intact geomorphology are better equipped to handle the wrath of hurricanes than
those of their developed neighbors. Permanent protection of portions of South Carolina’s coastal islands like the Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge and Botany Bay on Edisto Island have buffered inland communities for centuries, typically lessening the impacts on humans as well as wildlife. Despite these protection efforts, our wildlife populations are still vulnerable. The changing climate
is pointing to increases in both the number of storms and storm intensity- changes that can disturb natural wildlife populations. Shorebirds can be blown hundreds of miles from their home habitats. The loss of coastal forests can be devastating to species that depend on that forest type. Storm surges, waves, and wind can submerge sea turtle nests and destroy the eggs. The intrusion of
salt water into previously brackish ponds and streams can harm or kill the grasses, crabs, minnows, and insects that provide the foundation of the coastal food chain and destroy biodiverse tidal freshwater wetland systems. The abundance of freshwater flowing down from places upstream with sediment can also upset the fragile balance. In short, we’re fortunate for the natural ability of portions of our coast to flex, to an extent,
with changing weather patterns. In addition, the oceans are warming and sea levels are rising at an alarming rate. The state’s elected leaders need to address these problems now. First District Congressman Joe Cunningham is one of our U.S. House members who is sponsoring HR 9, which deals specifically with climate change. The SCWF urges all South Carolinians to read
the provisions of this important measure and make your feelings known. Attend a town hall meeting on the matter and contact your elected representatives about how you feel about climate change. Share your personal stories and encourage each of them to act. Your grandchildren (and the turtles) will appreciate it.

The forgotten items show up at the right time
T
here are things in my house that I totally forget about until I suddenly need them. Like the pair of leather gloves and the wool hat in the basket in my front hall. I see that basket every time I open the front hallway closet, but it is only when the temperature drops during the winter months when I am conscious of their existence. It is also the same with the Scrabble, Monopoly, and Battleship games that are under the bed in the grandkids bunk room. I vacuum in there throughout the year,

but don’t think about the games until the kids come and it’s a rainy day, and somebody says, “Let’s play some games.” It is then that I direct them to the forgotten item spot.
More of these hidden objects appeared this past week. The weatherman said “Something might come up the coast,” and we started to make our plans. That is when I remembered, there is a cabinet in our kitchen that holds our day-to-day dishes. We open those doors numerous times throughout the day. I never notice the maps and checklists taped to the inside of the doors. I put them up there when we first moved into our home. There are the Beaufort County emergency numbers, the
E-Edition
Digital Newspaper
South Carolina evacuation route map, and emergency checklists. There is also our own evacuation emergency plan, because ultimately the generic lists don’t take into consideration our own personal essentials like our senior dog’s supplies and our other personal items. My husband knows to fill up the cars with fuel and get cash, but the gas for our little generator is a necessity too. If the lights go out, we can hook up the fridge and TV set. We also are reminded to get the old television antenna out of the attic for when
the cable is out. As I grabbed some dinner plates to set my dinner table, I looked at my checklists taped on the doors. “I wanted to continue to ignore you,” I said sadly. “I wanted you to stay hidden from me, just like my leather gloves, my wool cap, and the grandkid’s games.” But instead of ignoring them, I pulled the checklists down and made a copy of each one. I proceeded to make check marks next to the items I knew I wanted to take and checked off the preparations we had to make
before we left our home. It was kind of sad, but sometimes, the weather is unpredictable, and you might as well be prepared. Besides, before long, I will open my cabinet doors to get the breakfast dishes and the checklists will be once again, some of those forgotten items.

Beaufort’s Dickson reps Team USA
Michael Dickson stood at the starting line, zipped up his Team USA top, and saluted the camera. In that moment, a dream had been achieved. Dickson represented the United States on Tuesday in the inaugural installment of “The Match,” a two-day track and field event pitting Team USA against Team Europe. The event was held in Minsk, Belarus, and featured 139 athletes, including 28 Olympians, eight Olympic medalists, and 11 world championship medalists. A two-time state champion hurdler at Beaufort High
Dorian rearranges sports schedules Hurricane Dorian put the fall sports season on hold last week, as local schools cancelled or postponed all sporting events while schools were closed in anticipation of the storm. Most notably, all of Friday’s high school football games were wiped out, with only Beaufort High’s road game at Effingham County having been rescheduled as of press time. The Eagles will travel to face the Rebels on Oct. 4. Beaufort Academy is searching for a date to make up its home game against Laurens Academy, but Whale Branch will not reschedule its home game with May River, and Battery Creek does not plan to reschedule its trip to Hilton Head High.
School, Dickson doesn’t check any of those boxes yet, but he is well on his way. He was a two-time first-team All-American and eight-time Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference champion at North Carolina A&T. Dickson was quick out of the blocks in the 110-meter hurdles race Tuesday, but he clipped the first hurdle, then grazed the next two as he tried to regain his rhythm, finishing fifth in 13.7 seconds. Spain’s Orlando Ortega won the event in 13.21. Dickson is currently ranked 50th in the world in the 110-meter hurdles by the IAAF.
H.S. FOOTBALL PREVIEWS
The Eagles will see their first game action in three weeks when they travel south to face former Bluffton coach Ken Cribb’s team. The Yellow Jackets are also coming off an idle week after smashing Long County 42-0 in their opener Aug. 30. Beaufort High’s offense will need to be in high gear to keep pace with Wayne County, which averaged 30.8 points while going 11-1 last season. Prediction: Wayne County 33, Beaufort High 14
Battery Creek (0-1) at Woodland (1-1)
It also has been an extended layoff for the Dolphins, who haven’t played since their 9-6 loss to Whale Branch on Aug. 23. Battery Creek’s secondary
will be challenged by a dangerous Wolverines passing game. Woodland hung tough in a 51-20 loss to Summerville to open the season and pounded Lake Marion 4914 in Week 2. The Dolphins need to establish the run early and complete a few passes to keep the Wolverines from loading the box. Prediction: Woodland 23, Battery Creek 12
Whale Branch (20) at RidgelandHardeeville (1-1)
The Warriors look for their second road win of the early season when they travel to Ridgeland to face an up-andcoming Jaguars team. Whale Branch got its offense rolling in a 28-0 win over Cross two weeks ago, and the defense has been nasty through two games, allowing a total of six points. The Jaguars have some talent on both sides of
the ball, including running back Joseph Robinson and versatile playmakers Ky’Juan Swinton and Brandon Howard. Whale Branch won 37-26 at home last season. Prediction: Whale Branch 22, Ridgeland-Hardeeville 20
Beaufort Academy at Richard Winn
Mark Clifford says the Eagles had 132 missed tackles in their season-opening 5022 loss to Clarendon Hall. They’ll have to be much more sound on defense to avoid an 0-2 start with a road trip to face a solid Richard Winn team that smashed Cathedral Academy 52-0 in its opener. BA was able to run the ball effectively against Clarendon Hall but needs to get more out of the passing game after completing only three passes in the opener. Prediction: Beaufort Academy 33, Richard Winn 30

uscany is well known for many things. History, vacation villas, shopping, special foods and, of course, wines. Good, better and best wines. This week, a chance to try a wine. The region of Tuscany is located on the western side of the “Italian boot.” There are 33 wine DOC designations in this region. And nine DOCG designations. More than any other region has of the highest and best by Italian wine laws. Wine history in Tuscany goes back to the 8th century BC. The Etruscans, the Greeks and the Romans all played a part in the development of wine in this area. After the fall of the Roman Empire, and through the Middle Ages, Catholic monasteries were the main grape growers and winemakers. When aristocratic and merchant classes emerged, share cropping and a system known as “mezzadria” followed. Those owning land provided use of their lands and resources for planting and, in return, received half, “mezza,” of what was grown. The Tuscan tradition had landowners using their half of harvested grapes to make wine that they could sell in Florence. In 1282, the first wine merchant guilds were founded. And regulations that controlled where and when wine could be sold were established. (Not within 100 yards of a church, not to children younger than 15, prostitutes, ruffians or thieves.) In the 14th century, there were almost eight million gallons of
CELIA STRONG
wine sold in Florence. Brancaia is a Tuscan winery that was newly established in 1981. The Widmers, a Swiss couple who loved wine, bought the abandoned Brancaia property that was known as Castellina. Two years later, their wines made first rank in an important Chianti Classico tasting. They bought more land and produced more great wines. Today, Barbara Widmer, daughter of the original Widmer couple, is the Brancaia oenologist and manager of their three wine estates. Brancaia is one of Tuscany’s leading wineries. Brancaia Tre is one of their red wines. First made in 2000. And named for the three estates its grapes are sourced from. And for the three grape varieties used to make it. Threesomes! This Tuscan blend is made from 80 percent Sangiovese, 10 percent Merlot and 10 percent Cabernet Sauvignon. (Because this particular blend of grapes does not follow the legal “formula” for Chianti or any other DOC Tuscan wine, its designation is IGT.) Sangiovese is the main grape of all Chianti DOCG wines. And, its various clones are responsible for other Tuscan wines, DOC
and DOCG. Young Sangiovese wines have fruity strawberry flavors and a little spiciness. With some barrel aging, they gain depth and complexity – sour cherry and earth flavors, tea leaf notes, mild tannins and acidities. Blended with Merlot and/ or Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese can reach new heights. With the quality of grapes and techniques used at Brancaia, we get highly rated, great-tasting wines. For Brancaia Tre, the grapes are hand harvested, gently pressed and fermented and macerated for 18 days. Aged in oak barrels for 12 months, followed by at least two months aging in its bottles. This wine is a deep ruby purple color. Its has perfumy aromas with cherry notes, florals, green pepper and a hint of smoke. A spiciness and minerality and moderate acidity come with its flavors. It is medium bodied and can improve immensely with about 45 to 60 minutes of air. (If you’re in a really hurry, though, choose a large bowl wine glass and do some swirling.) This wine is elegant and well structured, with terrific black fruit, cassis, ripe cherry, smoked meat and dried herb flavors, smooth textures and a lingering finish. Perfect with hearty tomato sauces, grilled meats, poultry and seafoods. For $17.99 at Bill’s Liquors. Enjoy. Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island.
