ighteen years after coordinated terrorist attacks killed 2,977 people in New York, Washington D.C. and Pennsylvania, Beaufort joined Americans all across the nation in remembering the events of Sept. 11, 2001 on the anniversary Wednesday, Sept. 11. Dozens of citizens, along with first responders from around the area, gathered at Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park to observe a

City of Beaufort annexes Lady’s Island property Council approves zoning with less density after public outcry By Mindy Lucas Despite opposition by area residents and community groups to two recent requests for annexation on Lady’s Island, the City of Beaufort is moving ahead with the annexation of at least one of the properties in question. That property, at 44 and 50 Miller Drive East, and one other, came under fire after requests for annexation and rezoning that would have allowed for greater density in the Sam’s Point Road area, were taken up by first the Beaufort-Port Royal Metropolitan Planning Commission in July, and then the City of Beaufort in August. Many in the community opposed the annexation request for the Miller Drive East property in particular, a 20-acre parcel that included a fiveacre lake. If passed as it stood, zoning would have allowed for “mixed use” including apartment buildings and commercial development. Chief among residents’ concerns were increased traffic congestion and greater density that would negatively impact the area’s semi-rural character, they said. At previous meetings, both the planning commission and the City of Beaufort, had initially recommended a lower T3S zoning citing a desire to keep the property similar to what was already in the area. However, in August, Michael Mark, a commercial real estate broker representing the owner, said that zoning would not provide the flexibility that a developer interested in

5 Beaufort seniors named 2020 National Merit semifinalists Five Beaufort County high school seniors have been announced as semifinalists in the National Merit Scholarship Program. Beaufort High School’s Ian Hoogenboom along with Morgan Chumney, Sarah Lawrence, Sydney Lawrence, and Caroline O’Neal of Holy Trinity Classical Christian School earned the semifinalist moniker, an honor in itself. They will will compete with other national semifinalists for 7,500 college scholarships worth more than $31 million. “Ian is an outstanding student, and we’re confident he’ll do well in the next stages of this national competition,” Beaufort County School
The four Holy Trinity seniors named National Merit Scholarship Semifinalists are pictured from left to right, Sydney Lawrence, Caroline O'Neal, Morgan Chumney, and Sarah Lawrence. District Superintendent Frank Rodriguez said in a release. “We’re very proud of him.”
The four girls from Holy Trinity Classical Christian School are from the school’s first graduating class.
The City of Beaufort will receive approximately $484,000 from FEMA for the cost incurred for cleanup and damages during Hurricane Matthew in 2016, according to city manager Bill Prokop. The city was notified that the application for funding had been approved by the S.C. Emergency Management Division as well as Sen. Lindsey Graham’s and Rep. Joe Cunningham’s offices. The funds will go into the city’s General Fund where expenses from the storm were charged, said Prokop. – Mindy Lucas
“We are immensely proud of these four students. Truly, they embody the love of learning that is at the core of Holy Trinity Classical Christian School,” founding headmaster Rev. Chad E. Lawrence said in a release. “It is fitting that their hard work, inquisitive natures, and pursuit of excellence should be dignified through this accomplishment. But this is also a celebration for our entire school community. For Holy Trinity to have four National Merit Semifinalists in our inaugural graduating class speaks to the superb teachers, strong curric-

Fire department, BMH team up to install car seats The City of Beaufort/Town of Port Royal Fire Department and Beaufort Memorial Hospital have teamed up together to make sure that every newborn rides home safely in a car seat. Starting at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 3, the City of Beaufort/Town of Port Royal Fire Department will be going to Beaufort Memorial Hospital on the first Thursday of every
month and teaming up with BMH hospital staff to install car seats. “We have at least two certified car seat technicians on every shift and we want to make sure that every child’s car seat is installed correctly because on average, 46 percent of car seats are installed incorrectly or misused,” Fire Chief Reece Bertholf said. This program will coincide with
BMH’s “Baby University,” when expecting moms and dads can come and get a tour of the birthing suites and get their car seat installed. “We are very excited about this partnership with BMH. It will be very convenient for expecting moms and dads during this exciting time. We also have brand new car seats available for those who
do not have one or cannot afford one,” Battalion Chief and car seat technician Peter Dontje said. If you are not planning to attend Baby University, you can get your car seat installed or checked at any City of Beaufort/Town of Port Royal Fire Department fire station. Car seats are available if needed. Call 843-525-7055 to set up an appointment.
SC awards $1.15 million to counties for opioid prevention Beaufort County and South Carolina’s 45 other counties will share equally in $1.15 million in federal State Opioid Response (SOR) funds to build on current efforts to address opioid/prescription drug misuse and abuse in local communities. The Department of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Services, on behalf of the S.C. Governor’s Office, is awarding $25,000 per county to the state’s local alcohol and drug abuse authorities – in this case, the Beaufort County Alcohol and Drug Abuse Department. These county authorities will be required to develop formal agreements with their local partners, such as county/city government leaders, sheriffs, chiefs of police, school superintendents, etc., to demonstrate the local buy-in and capacity necessary for successful

implementation of: • Drug take-back events; • Drug-deactivation bags/ buckets; • Prescription drug drop boxes; • Public awareness campaign (i.e., local branding of DAODAS’ statewide “Just Plain Killers” campaign); • Town hall meetings and community forums; • Professional education for health professionals, law enforcement, school personnel, etc.; or • Curriculum-based programs that have a focus on prescription drugs. “The opioid epidemic has impacted every part of our state and country, which is why it’s so important to invest these funds in every county in the state,” Gov.
Henry McMaster said in a release. “In order to eradicate this disease from our communities, we must continue to invest in evidence-based programs and initiatives, and make them available in every part of the state.” Each county authority must plan, implement and evaluate a minimum of two pre-approved opioid prevention strategies from the list above to address the needs that have been identified in their city and/or county. “It is important that local partners collaborate with one another to reduce the impact of prescription drug use/misuse and to support achievement of the desired outcomes,” DAODAS Director Sara Goldsby said in a release. “Funds can also be used to build the capacity of county alcohol and drug staff and their local government partners.”
“It is extremely important that we invest these resources into evidence-informed programs and strategies that have proven to be effective in substance use prevention,” said Michelle Nienhius, Manager of Prevention and Intervention Services for DAODAS. “Reducing access, disseminating information to South Carolinians, providing training to professionals on best practices that have been proven to be effective, and reaching youth with education curricula that have documented outcomes are the most effective ways we can assist local communities across the state with impacting this crisis at the local level.” The one-time SOR funds cannot be used to supplant existing funds. The sub-grants must be used to fund new projects or to expand/enhance existing projects.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Zonta ‘Campaign of the Century’ a huge success Thank you Beaufort and others who appreciate the service of our wonderful military veterans! Several months ago the Zonta Club of Beaufort, in conjunction with the Centennial of Zonta International, undertook an effort to sponsor a K9 for a Warrior (a woman Marine) to the tune of $20,000. K9's s for Warriors is an organization which specializes in working with vets with PTSD, Traumatic Brain Injury and Military Sexual Trauma. It relies on the relationship between our community and our military. The Zonta Club of Beaufort happily
announces that its goal has been met! A huge THANK YOU to all who made this happen! Twice, they have named many groups who donated and helped them in their endeavors. Since that time new projects moved them toward their goal. Two Zonta Sisters used social media to have Birthday Fund Me pages. Their combined total was more than $1,300. The Ladies Group of Carteret Methodist Church and Zonta hosted a luncheon and card party, which brought in more than $1,800. Zonta Sisters from neighboring clubs sent checks. Several
well known insurance agents, an ophthalmologist, and a CPA firm helped out. Believe it or not, a jar at The Chocolate Tree netted more than $700 from visitors and loyal customers. The Knights of Columbus Third and Fourth Degree Councils chipped in $1,000. A grant was given by St. Peter's Catholic Church. Talk about a team effort! Since all Women Marines are trained at nearby Parris Island, the Zonta Club of Beaufort hopes to share photos and news from their our “Hometown Hero” very soon. Watch for the next update. – Pat Green

Grant means new equipment for Burton Fire District On the 18th anniversary of 9/11, a particularly somber day for firefighters, the Burton Fire District started their day with some uplifting news to which they give credit for, and honor to, the 343 firefighters who gave their lives in 2001. On Sept. 11, 2019, the Burton Fire District received notification that it has been awarded a $273,000 grant from the federal Assistance to Firefighters Grant program to replace 27 self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). The SCBAs currently utilized by the Burton Fire District are almost two decades old, and with new national standards anticipated next year, they are also quickly falling out of compliance.
The new SCBAs will be placed on all of Burton’s front line-first response fire apparatus, and the remaining serviceable SCBAs will be held in reserve, or used for training purposes. Currently the SCBAs utilized by the fire district are interchangeable with neighboring fire departments, a trend the Burton Fire District started after 9/11. This allows fire departments who are working together on large scenes to share equipment and work more efficiently. Proper respiratory protection has been a growing concern and focus for firefighters over the last decade as cancer rates in firefighters are statistically higher. Most recently,
comedian and actor John Stewart, brought national attention to the first responders of 9/11 who have developed respiratory diseases and cancers attributed to breathing in toxic dust while working at Ground Zero. “Getting this grant to help upgrade and maintain critical equipment without placing the burden on our taxpayers is great news,” Burton Fire Chief Harry Rountree said in a release. “But to receive that news on 9/11, and for equipment so vital to the safety and protection of firefighters, makes this grant extra special, and we fully credit those lost on 9/11 for helping provide this funding possibility.”

Catherine Forester, Beaufort’s League President, said South Carolina lawmakers have a great opportunity to provide equality for all American women by approving passage of the ERA in the Palmetto State.

For one lucky taxpayer, taxes might be a little easier to pay this year. Simply by signing up to receive their tax bill electronically, Beaufort County taxpayers will be eligible to win $3,000. PayIt, the Beaufort County Treasurer’s innovative partner in government payment solutions, announced a special sweepstakes for Beaufort County’s taxpayers. “We have all had something get lost in the mail. When that is your tax bill, it can be a very costly problem,” Beaufort County Treasurer Maria Walls said in a release. “Signing up for e-billing eliminates that worry and, this year, it includes the added bonus of potentially paying for your taxes.” Signing up for e-billing is easy and can be done in four simple steps.
1. Visit myBeaufortCounty. com or the myBeaufortCounty app on your mobile device. 2. Log in or create an account. 3. Select your Beaufort County properties. 4. Enroll your properties in e-billing.

Newly permitted by state law after Walls worked with state senator Chip Campsen to craft legislation that would give property owners the option to receive their tax bills electronically. “When taxpayers sign up for e-billing, it is a win-win for the taxpayer and for the county,” Walls said. “The county spends hundreds of thousands of dollars
The Episcopal Church in South Carolina, the diocese in the eastern half of the state, is extending a helping hand to food service workers who suffered financial loss due to an inability to work before, during, and after the time Hurricane Dorian passed the coast of South Carolina. Funded by an Episcopal Relief and Development grant of $25,000, the church has partnered with Giving Kitchen of Atlanta to create the Hurricane Dorian Relief Fund and offer financial assistance to food service workers experiencing hardship due to Hurricane Dorian in coastal South Carolina. “While many people in South Carolina did not suffer significant property damage from Hurricane Dorian, the
storm was financially devastating to hourly employees who because of the state’s mandatory evacuation were unable to work for nearly a week,” said the Rt. Rev. Gladstone B. “Skip” Adams III, Bishop of The Episcopal Church in South Carolina. “We are thankful for the assistance of Episcopal Relief & Development in allowing our diocese to serve this tremendous need in our local communities.” One-time funds are provided on a first-come, first-served basis.

FROM THE FRONT
Property from page A1
the property needed in order to create varying lot sizes. In a unanimous vote held at its regular meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 10, Beaufort’s five-member city council gave final approval for the annexation. However, in a move seemingly designed for compromise, the city only approved a T3N zoning for the property. That zoning, unlike the T4N originally requested by the owner, only allows for residential housing such as cottages, small houses and two- and three-family dwellings. It does not allow for commercial development. At Tuesday’s meeting, Councilman Stephen Murray expressed empathy for those neighboring the property, saying he had once lived across from a development that affected the street where he lived. “So I know how that can really affect your quality of life,” he said. “But I’m also a firm believer in private property rights and believe they are the foundation of this country, and property owners within the bounds of their property rights can do what they wish with their property.” A T3N zoning, he said, was a “good compromise.” Mark, along with a landscape architect, were at Tuesday’s meeting at the request of council members and presented rough plans of what the project might look like. Plans include a “walk-able” neighborhood featuring single family homes and row homes and open spaces. Mark began talking with area residents and those initially opposed to the property’s annexation after the
Aug. 27 city council meeting. Since then, the project has received favorable feedback, he said. “We received some calls about it after that (meeting in August), and they’ve all been very favorable,” he said. While Mark would not say who the developer is, he did say that they were happy with the zoning they received. “I’m hoping this turns out to be a good thing,” he said. The other request for annexation, a smaller collection of parcels totaling 6.9-acres along William Street and Mayfair Court, was removed from Tuesday’s city council agenda at the request of the property owner, local builder Merritt Patterson. While the property had already received a first-reading approval for annexation at the Aug. 27 council meeting, Patterson asked for his application to be pulled in order to separate it from the Miller Drive East property. “I definitely did because of that, and because I don’t think the process is fair,” he said. He also pulled the application so he could spend more time “refining his plans” for the property, though he didn’t know when he would go back before the city with his annexation request, he said. Preliminary plans include self storage on 5.6 acres that would be accessed from the main highway and not Mayfair Court, he said. On Mayfair Court, he’d like to build affordable “workforce” housing such as townhomes that would start at $185,000. Though some residents seemed receptive to hearing Patterson’s plans for the parcels at the Aug. 27 meeting, he said he didn’t like that he was “thrown into the same emotional environment” as the Miller Drive East appli-
cation. “You’ve got people who are uninformed, angry and vengeful,” he said. “There’s a lack of respect. It’s just a bad community situation.” While the annexation decision will eventually close for these two properties specifically, there are those who are remain concerned with the process itself. “We don’t like that people are running to the city because the county won’t do what they like,” said Chuck Newton with the Sea Island Corridor Coalition. Along with the Coastal Conservation League, the Coalition led the effort to create the Lady’s Island Plan after the Walmart and Oyster Bluff projects, both county projects, caused public outcry. The idea of zone shopping, or looking for more favorable zoning with the city, creates “problems and conflicts on Lady’s Island,” he said. While the city’s approval of a T3N zoning for the Miller Drive East property may not be the “worst thing” if the project ultimately adds value to the surrounding neighborhoods, he said, he still “wishes city council members would act as if the people of Lady’s Island could vote for them.” “If they acted as if the people of Lady’s Island could vote for them, then they would be taking a whole lot more responsibility for what happens there,” he said. Still, city leaders made it clear Tuesday night they were not in favor of annexation just to add more density. Murray added that community involvement was key to making sure the Lady’s Island Plan was implemented. “ …I think we can have an open and honest debate about the future of Lady’s
Island,” he said. “I’m confident that …with the city involved in the long-term development of key areas of Lady’s Island, we’ll get to a better product given the constraints and the private property rights that we all sort of have to deal with, whether we like them or not.” Billy Powell, who lives near the Miller Drive East property, said while no one wanted to step on property owners’ rights, he and his neighbors would remain vigilant about what was going in next door. “There are a lot of people who aren’t necessarily against the development of the property,” he said. “It’s how it’s going to be developed, and how that’s going to impact our lives.” Powell, who has lived in the neighborhood for 23 years, still has concerns over how developers plan to access the property in an area that’s already congested and on roads that weren’t designed for construction trucks, he said. “It’s going to present a lot of challenges for the existing community,” he said. While the annexation of the property isn’t “the end of the world,” residents still have opportunities to provide input, he noted. The project will more than likely have to go before the Design Review Board, a public process, as well as the city’s Technical Review Committee, city officials said on Tuesday. In the meantime, Powell said he is at least encouraged that developers and city leaders seemed to be listening and that residents’ concerns didn’t “fall on deaf ears.” “We all don’t have to win or lose on this,” he said. “Let’s just work together so that everyone’s way of life is improved. Then that’s a win for everyone.”

Preparing the Way
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.

AN IN-DEPTH LOOK AT THE PEOPLE & EVENTS THAT SHAPE OUR COMMUNITY
Spamalot comes galloping in to Center for the Arts By Mindy Lucas It’s a warm, muggy August evening on the University of South Carolina Beaufort campus. Inside the university’s Center for the Arts though, where rehearsals for Spamalot are taking place, it is cool and comfortable – a welcome relief from the summer heat. On stage, the cast is gathered around various music stands as music director Josh Wall, on piano, leads the group through several numbers. “It never turns out the way I think it will,” said director Libby Ricardo. “It usually turns out better.” Ricardo sits along with the production’s choreographer Christopher Crabb about halfway back, in the middle of the empty theater watching the group rehearse for what will be the center’s first locally produced, live show of the season. Ripped from the classic film comedy, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Monty Python’s Spamalot retells the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. The hilarious and award-winning production features a bevy of beautiful showgirls, cows, killer rabbits and French people. Watching the rehearsal, it’s hard not to laugh. Case in point: Dan Hodges, who plays Not Dead Fred, suddenly injects a bit of bass into his number, “He is Not Dead Yet.” “Are you going to sing it down there?” Wall says as he stops playing. “Uh no,” Hodges starts. Then with a wry little smile adds, “I’m just warming up. I’ve been on vacation.” Everyone laughs. It’s all part of the fun of community theater, when things are still taking shape and being shaped. In fact, while most theatergoers only know what they see when they walk through the center’s front doors on the night of a performance, there’s so much more that goes in to creating a successful lineup that will bring people out. As Bonnie Hargrove, director for the center says, it takes constant year-round planning, networking, and good mix of shows and programs. “There’s very much a pattern to what we do until we find that it doesn’t work,” she said. “But so far so good.” As usual, this year’s season will feature a mix of locally produced and performed productions alongside travelling shows but will also include new live broadcasts from such heavyweight venues as the National Theatre in London and edu-
cational and literary programs as well. The center also puts on a number of other programs and “extras” such as Met Opera Live broadcasts in HD, Monday Night Movie Night, art openings, children’s theater performances and summer camps. It’s a mix that has served them well, Hargrove says, as they have found residents and visitors alike enjoy not only the diversity of the center’s programming but the sheer volume of things to do as well.
“We really feel like it’s Beaufort’s community center,” she said. “The community really comes together here for different things, whether it’s one of the kids programs, or whether it’s to listen to a lecture on the Opioid crisis … just about every week we have something going on that’s attracting different groups of people to the center.” Spamalot opens Sept. 21 at the Center for the Arts.

Rodriguez continues to ‘meet’ school district By Bob Sofaly St. Helena Island parents, teachers and community leaders got the chance to meet the new Beaufort County School Superintendent Frank Rodriguez this past Thursday at St. Helena Elementary School. The “meet-n-greet” meeting was part of Rodriguez’s “Listening and Learning Tour.” According to a press release, Rodriguez hopes to talk with parents, teachers and other school administrators about what’s working well
and what needs attention at schools all through out the district. “These are opportunities for me to directly engage with parents and community members and listen to them and learn what’s on their minds,” Rodriguez said. The next meeting in Northern Beaufort County is scheduled for Sept. 24, at Whale Branch Early College High School, followed by a Sept. 26 meeting at Beaufort High School. Both meetings will begin at 6 p.m.
New Beaufort County School District Superintendent Frank Rodriquez describes his upbringing as the son of a Cuban immigrant and how his father stressed the need of an education. Rodriguez visited with parents, teachers and other community leaders during a stop on his Listening and Learning Tour on Thursday, Sept. 12.

Canceling SC’s Republican primary a dumb thing to do
D
umb. As I wrestle with how to most clearly express my opinion on the decision to cancel next year’s S.C. Republican presidential primary, one word comes to mind: “Dumb.” For those who don’t know, here’s background: On Sept. 7, the executive committee of the S.C. Republican Party, by voice vote, changed the party rules in order to forego a 2020 presidential primary, which likely would have been held in February. This means South Carolina’s 50 votes at next summer’s National Republican Convention will be automatically cast for President Trump. And it means some 750,000 rank-and-file Republicans – whose votes, financial support, and volunteer efforts are so needed by party leadership – won’t have a direct voice in the process. Understandably, the
RICHARD ECKSTROM
committee intended to benefit President Trump by canceling the primary. But did they? The President is all but assured of the nomination, yet the committee somehow managed to come off as afraid he wouldn’t fend off a challenge. With his nomination not seriously in question, it’s hard to see how this maneuver helps him. The state party chairman defended the move by saying the President lacked a viable challenger. Maybe so, but primary voters tend to be a well-informed bunch, and they’re certainly capable of deciding that point on their own.
The party chairman also cited the cost, saying that scrapping a vote would save tax dollars. That’d be more credible if protecting the taxpayers was an ideal that Republican leadership still embraced. Sadly, neither party shows much interest in fiscal responsibility these days. This isn’t about President Trump. Nor is it about Mark Sanford, nor of either of the other announced Republican challengers. It’s about voters. Voters want a say, and they should have one. And that includes many devoted Trump backers who’d love another chance to go to the polls and show their support for the president. Incidentally, a recent poll showed nearly twothirds of likely Republican voters say the party should hold a primary even if President Trump were the only one on the ballot. This comes across as a
power grab by the elite – and against the peasantry. It’s true that there’s a precedent for skipping presidential primaries; Republicans did it in 1984 and 2004, and Democrats did it in 1996 and 2012. Of course, in those cases incumbent presidents were running virtually uncontested from within their party. And in 1992, when incumbent president George H.W. Bush faced intraparty opposition, S.C. Republicans went ahead with a primary vote. Even President Bush’s most steadfast supporters didn’t waiver, because they believed in the strength of their candidate and his ideals. South Carolina’s Republican and Democratic presidential primaries have always been an exciting time for our state. Because of their early placement on the calendar – each is their party’s third nominating contest, and the first in the
south – the country’s eyes are on us. For a few weeks every four years, the national spotlight shines on our state, our people, our uniqueness, our traditions. Primaries give South Carolinians a front row seat to the choosing of the leader of the free world. They’re a financial boon for the state, bringing in millions in campaign-related spending. Primaries are healthy for the democratic process. They allow for people to become engaged in a way that general elections don’t. That’s especially important in South Carolina, a state in which the nominees for both parties skip in the fall as they devote their time to socalled “battleground states.” And they’re good for the candidates and the parties. They bring citizens into the political process, provide for the airing of ideas, and help cultivate campaign and organizational talent.
Canceling the primary benefits absolutely no one, including the candidate the party hierarchy professes to support. Letting people vote would have sent President Trump to the nominating convention with the blessing of the state’s voters while giving conservative voters who supported other candidates the knowledge they at least had some input. Denying hundreds of thousands of Republicans a role in the process was an unforced error, to borrow a sports metaphor. The executive committee of the S.C. Republican party has put an asterisk beside a nomination that wasn’t otherwise in doubt and probably alienated lots of ordinary voters they’ll need for success in the future. And that's just dumb.

The music of our youth sticks with us forever
I
t is Sunday, and I’m at Tanglewood in Lenox, Mass., the summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Tonight the BSO is giving us Yo Yo Ma and his cello. For most of my youth I did not know the sound of the cello. Sure, I had unknowingly heard the sound of the cellos, but that sound was overwhelmed by violins, violas, French horns and kettle drums. It wasn’t until “Send in the Clowns” that I truly knew the sad, haunting sound that transports one directly to the Court of Richard III.

Tonight, my wife and I are just outside the Koussevitzky Shed — a huge, open-sided structure that can seat 5,000 people. We have paid $24 (each) for a spot on The Lawn where we have spread a blanket, opened a bottle of Gnarly Head Authentic Red and have a view of the
Jumbotron. We are surrounded by others — perhaps 10,000 Yo Yo loving fans — who have brought their blankets, their basket-borne quiche, their bottles of Bogle Essential Red and, in some cases, their issue. Just in front of us is a family of three that features a young father and mother – perhaps they are 35 – and a daughter who seems to be 5 or 6. For the hour before Yo Yo appears on the Jumbotron, they are content to eat and drink; or watch the others eat, drink and prepare themselves for the Maestro. As I watch this scene un-

fold, I wonder if Yo Yo Ma’s cello will make an imprint on the 5-year-old girl. I’m wondering whether or not these notes, delivered in the dark and under a starry Massachusetts sky, will stay with the child who seems, at the moment, mesmerized. Probably not. Studies done in 2005 indicate that most early events — things that happen when one is 3- or 4-years old, disappear from memory. Patricia J Bauer, at Emory, did research that shows that by 7, events that happened earlier begin to fade. By the time one is 8-years old, her results show that children have forgotten 40 percent of what occurred earlier in their lives. When explaining her research she uses the image of a kitchen colander, saying that a toddler’s brain is like a metal colander with big holes in it. Memory, by contrast, are like bits of orzo. She says that most of these bits of orzo escape through the holes. However, that ends when a child moves into his or her young adult years. This is when the holes get smaller and the bits of orzo get bigger. That is when, according
to Bauer, we begin to hold on to our memories — especially musical memories. It is argued by a host of scientists that the brain, when we are young adults, is most ‘plastic’ and most efficient in remembering. Brain imaging shows that music stimulates the production of dopamine, serotonin and oxytocin. Music ‘sparks’ this feel-good neural activity and the lyrics we learned and loved at 18 get hardwired. Forever. That is why I remember Dion, Paul Anka and Billy Eckstein. It is why I can repeat the words to Teenager in Love, Diana and I Apologize with precision at age 74. It is why — when I am alone in my tastefully furnished living room — I can say, “Alexa, play ‘Precious Lord’ by Elvis Presley” and then sing, “Precious Lord take my hand, Lead me on, let me stand I am tired, I’m weak, I’m alone Through the storm, through the night Lead me on to the light Take my hand Precious Lord, Lead me home When we made our reser-
vations, we thought that Yo Yo would be backed-up by a full orchestra. Closer examination of our tickets would have revealed that it was just Yo Yo, his cello, and six suites written by Bach. When Yo Yo moved into Suite No. 4, I began to feel drowsy — and so I stretched-out on our blanket and drifted off. Then, from far away, I heard, “There is a young cowboy he lives on the range, His horse and his cattle his only companions, He works in the saddle and sleeps in the canyons, ...” As I regained my senses, I realized that James Taylor had joined Yo Yo Ma onstage and together they were doing, “Sweet Baby James,” an anthem from my own, longgone youth. And so I joined James, Yo Yo and 15,000 others singing, “Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose, Won’t you let me go down in your dreams, And rock-a-bye Sweet Baby James.” Scott Graber is a lawyer, novelist, veteran columnist and longtime resident of Port Royal.

Whatever happened to my cereal toys?
W
hen I was a child, I loved to sit in the morning before school and eat my cereal. Mom would keep a variety available for her eight children, but we were mostly limited to Frosted Flakes, Cocoa Puffs, Alpha-bits and of course Sugar Smacks. Those were the big four. We would sit at the table and the sibling who was lucky enough to be the earliest would open the new box of cereal and find a toy. What fun! Pure sugar for breakfast and a cheap little toy that might last about five minutes. Life was good. As we got older, we had the option of picking out our own cereal and sometimes that decision was based on the cool toy inside. Like the Plastic Spoonman from Outer Space in the Shredded Wheat. That cereal is still a favorite of mine today, but it was the toy that originally enticed me. Now mind you, this was the era before you were told what you were eating and that the object inside the box was probably hazardous. The Food Labeling Act of 1990 opened many people’s eyes
LEE SCOTT
Now what?
highlighting daily life observations
as to the nutritional content of the cereals and ultimately forced the manufacturers to at least attempt to put together some healthier cereals. Some say the toys were eliminated after the 1988 recall of 30 million flutes and binoculars which were deemed unsafe. I find it interesting that any toy lasted long enough to become unsafe, but I agree that a four-year-old should not be pulling out a decoder spy ring from the cereal box. Ultimately, the manufacturers switched to coupons or codes on the boxes. The ones you cut out and save 100 of them to get a book for your school. As I was sitting at my table this morning, I started to read the Raisin Bran box in
front of me. On the front in bold red letters was written “Healthy Heart.” This was not something I cared about when I was 7-years-old. Then I turned the box around and found an entire new method for getting a toy (book). Buy a Kellogg’s product, take a picture of your receipt and get credit to redeem a book for your choice to keep or donate. There were rules in the fine print. Dates available, registration and some other things, but a far cry from reaching into the box and pulling out my own Dragnet whistle. Then, while placing the Raisin Bran box back in the cabinet, I spotted my old faithful Kellogg’s Rice Krispies box. It was there on the back – in large print – the recipe for Rice Krispie Treats. Some things do not change after all. Lee Scott, a writer and recent retiree, shares her everyday observations about life after career.

De’Arius Hazel and Jaylen Reeves each had two rushing touchdowns, and Keith Bing took the opening kickoff of the second half back for a score to power the Warriors to a 36-12 win at Ridgeland-Hardeeville. The Warriors led 7-6 at
halftime on the strength of Hazel’s 9-yard TD run, and they opened it up with Bing’s 87-yard kickoff return and Reeves’ 22-yard TD run to make it 22-6. Hazel added a 3-yard scoring run and Reeves scored from 9 yards out in the fourth quarter to seal the win. Reeves rushed for 106 yards and two TDs on 14 carries and was 4-for-4 passing for 63 yards. Hazel carried the ball
14 times for 88 yards and two TDs. Amir Jenkins and Jaden Jenkins each had an interception for the Warriors. Antonio Chaneyfield threw a 6-yard TD pass to Brandon Howard, and Joseph Robinson added a 9-yard TD run for the Jaguars. Whale Branch (3-0) is off this week before hosting Phillip Simmons on Sept. 7.
Strong 1st half not enough for BC
Battery Creek turned in a dominant defensive effort in the first half but couldn’t carry it through after the break in a 31-6 loss at Woodland on Friday. The Dolphins blanked the Wolverines in the first half and went to the locker room leading 6-0 on the strength
of Brandon Wilson’s fumble return for a touchdown. But Woodland got its passing game going in the second half and pulled away. Wilson finished with five tackles (one for loss), two sacks, and two fumble recoveries to anchor Battery Creek’s defense.
Jaeon Allen led the Dolphins with 68 rushing yards on 12 carries, while Jacove Anderson added 53 yards on 14 carries and Kyseem Jabar had 46 yards on three carries. The Dolphins (0-2) travel to Legion Collegiate Academy in Rock Hill on Friday.

Wayne County built a 35-0 halftime lead and extended it to 41-0 before the Eagles found the end zone twice in the fourth quarter. Tyler Haley hit Rhogue Wallace for a 3-yard touchdown to get Beaufort on the

Timing is everything for Montecillo Reserva Rioja
M
ontecillo Reserva Rioja is made from about 90 percent Tempranillo, with Garnacha and Mazuelo. For this wine, each variety is harvested and vinified separately. Maceration at low temperatures is done before fermentation. And a second maceration is done after fermentation, for two weeks of skin contact. Malolactic fermentation is done in underground cement tanks and, then, the wine is moved into French (70 percent) and American (30 pecent) oak barrels for 25 months. After bottling, there is another 20 months spent in the cellars. The wine is a bright cherry red color. Its aromas and flavors include cherries, blueberries, raisins, dried figs, cedar, and cigar box, tobacco, cocoa, chocolate, cinnamon, vanilla, dried rose petals, dill and black pepper. This wine shows an outstanding balance with a velvet texture. It has bright acidity, intensity and a lingering finish. For $10.97 at Bill’s Liquors. Awesome timing. Enjoy. The greatness of so many things in life can be determined entirely by their timing. New friendships. A bad joke. Whatever. After the weather from last week and clean up this week, a great deal on a great wine would be perfect timing. Rioja is a region and an appellation from Spain. Red Rioja is the best known of all Spanish wines, even though small amounts of white and rosé are also produced. When sipped with slices

of Jamon Serrano (Spain’s version of Proscuitto), pieces of salty Manchego and ripe green olives, red Rioja is a glass of Spain. Red Rioja wines have structure and tannins, like Cabernet, with intense fruity characteristics. Red Rioja is made from a blend of grapes. The main variety is Tempranillo, with bits of Garnacha for fruitiness as well as Mazuelo and Graciano. Spain is rightfully proud of their Tempranillo grape. It has been used to make wines there for more than 2,000 years. Legally, there are levels of red Rioja wines, based on aging. Labeled just “Rioja” is the basic. Meant to be drank young. “Crianza” wines, the most produced level, spend a minimum of one year in oak, followed by a few months in their bottles. “Reserva” wines are made from the best grapes of each harvest, but only in years that are good enough. These wines are aged for three years, at least one of them in oak. Basically, Reserva wines cost $15 to $30. “Gran Reserva” can only be made in exceptional years (best weather conditions) and must age at least two years in oak and at least three years in

The centuries of wine making in Rioja have shown that aging of Tempranillo, barrels and bottles, allows the flavors and textures to develop more and more. Bodegas Montecillo was founded by Don Celestino Navajas Matute in 1870. For 150 years, he and his family worked successfully to build their wines and their region. Don Celestino was part of the revolutionary blending of Spanish traditional wines with Bordeaux techniques. In 1973, Montecillo passed on to the Osborne family. They had 245 years of experience with Sherries, and took Montecillo in a new direction, especially by expanding their purchases of prime vineyard sites. Today, Montecillo’s winemaker, despite all the old traditions still held close, is Mercedes García Rupérez, a young woman who has spent 10 years learning Rioja.

Monday night is Movie Night at USCB Center for the Arts
Monday night is Movie Night at the USCB Center for the Arts, celebrating inspiring documentaries: Honeyland and Raise Hell: The Live and Times of Molly Ivins. 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 Bal-
kans, 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.
