COVERING BEAUFORT COUNTY
Whitehall Park gets go-ahead from City, County By Justin Jarrett
One by one, community members stepped to the microphone at the Bluffton Library on Monday night and laid out the myriad reasons a park on the Whitehall Property was so important to them. One by one, the members of the Beaufort County Council revealed the impact those statements had on their vote on the matter. After more than an hour of public comment and discussion, the Council voted unanimously to enter into negotiations to purchase a 9.72-acre portion of the picturesque Whitehall Property from the development company that owns it. The Beaufort City Council previously approved a 30-year agreement with the County to provide maintenance for the park.
Even several Council members who expressed concerns about the proposal — namely the cost (the vote authorizes the County to pay up to $4,371,000 for the property) and the fact that the City of Beaufort has not agreed to foot any of the bill — voted in favor of Councilman York Glover’s motion, in large part because of the public comment from a number of the more than 6,000 community members who have signed a petition in support of the project. “I came here tonight convinced I was going to vote against this,” said Bluffton Councilman Jerry Stewart, “but I do have to take into account the comments that were made here this evening. A lot of the citizens of the county are clearly behind this. … Because of what you said tonight and because of the
conviction of how you presented it, I’ve been convinced to vote in favor it it.” Community members young and old gushed about the property on the Lady’s Island side of the Beaufort River and what an expansive park there will mean for generations of Beaufortonians to come. Beaufortonian Kathy Mixon said the Council would one day be hailed as “visionaries” for voting to preserve the land as a park, and Fereol de Gastyne referred to the property as “the crown jewel of Beaufort.” Stewart and Councilman Steve Fobes expressed their concern that the City of Beaufort had not agreed to share in the cost, which is a break in precedent from previous land purchases in which the County and municipality have split the bill. They also balked at
Lending a helping hand
the price tag, and Councilman Stu Rodman worried that the County will end up covering significantly more than half of the developer’s cost to purchase the entire 20-acre tract. But advocates say having a park on the property for the foreseeable future is priceless. “It’s what’s the value to the community that’s really important to us,” Councilman Brian Flewelling said, “and as we can see, this is very important to the community.” Just before the Council voted on the proposal, Chairman Paul Sommerville recounted a story from his childhood, during which his grandfather would take him to the Whitehall Property. Now the next generation of Beaufort County residents will be able to share similar memories.
Chamber files suit in festival fight By Justin Jarrett
The battle over two of Beaufort’s favorite fall festivals escalated last week when the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce filed a federal lawsuit against the City of Beaufort. The fight began when the City of Beaufort filed for the trademarks for the Beaufort Shrimp Festival and Taste of Beaufort last year and subsequently denied the Chamber’s request to hold the Shrimp Festival at Waterfront Park next month. The Chamber’s suit alleges the City made false representations when applying for the trademarks and violated the Chamber’s constitutional rights when denying the permit in July. The Chamber also claims it was asked to pay 10 percent of its event profits in exchange for use of Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park, which it says is more than any other organization has been charged. In an email statement through attorney Ashley Twombley, Chamber President Blakely Williams said the Chamber made every possible effort to resolve the dispute without taking legal action, and an email string between representatives of the embattled entities shows the City declined the Chamber’s request for arbitration until after this year’s Shrimp Festival, which the City plans to hold Oct. 5-6. “The Chamber was left with a stark choice,” Williams’ statement said. “Either bow to the City’s demand or stand up for what we believe is right, just and lawful.” The email from Williams requesting arbitration acknowledged that such a meeting might not be feasible before this year’s festival and said, “If the City commits to arbitration quickly, the Chamber would be willing to agree to allow the October 5, 2018, Beaufort Shrimp Festival to take place without challenge.” The message further stated that “allowing the event to take place without challenge could harm the Chamber’s position” and asked for a binding agreement to arbitration no later than Sept. 12, after which point the Chamber would move forward with legal action. City Manager Bill Prokop says the City was surprised by the lawsuit. “According to the Chamber, it was unable to come to any agreement with the City. We believe it is better stated that the Chamber has been unwilling to sit down with the City and discuss how we can move forward and work together,” City Manager Bill Prokop said in a statement. “The Chamber states that its goal is to be an advocate for its members. We believe the interests of both the Chamber’s members and the citizens of Beaufort would be better served by using member dues and taxpayer dollars on civic projects, infrastructure development and community improvements, not legal proceedings.”
W
hile Beaufort County was spared by Hurricane Florence, our neighbors to the north were hit hard, and local authorities are doing their part to help those affected by the storm. Engines and firefighters from Burton, Lady’s Island/St. Helena, and Beaufort/ Port Royal fire departments deployed on Tuesday, Sept. 18, to Hartsville to assist with the relief effort. While there, some of the firefighters had the opportunity to take a lap around Darlington Speedway in the fire engine. The task force of three engines and 12 firefighters assisted for 24 hours before returning home, but other local firefighters have continued to assist via the South Carolina Firefighter Mobilization program, Burton Fire District spokesman Lt. Daniel Byrne said. Beaufort County EMS also sent crews to the Myrtle Beach area to assist with the relief effort.

NEWS BRIEFS City announces $200,000 Attorney General Free Secure Shredding investment tax credit announces another victory Event in Beaufort Oct. 6 At the Beaufort City Council session on for SCE&G ratepayers The Beaufort County Public Works DepartTuesday, Sept. 18, City Manager Bill Prokop ment Solid Waste and Recycling Section has announced the award of $200,000 to the City of Beaufort in the form of an investment tax credit from the Hargray Company. In a repeat from last year, the City’s request for the investment tax credit has been granted. “We are excited for the opportunity to further improve our infrastructure in the City of Beaufort Commerce Park,” Prokop said, noting the money will be used to further improve the commerce park. With new tenant Oliver’s Clean Burn up and running in the park and more on the horizon, this award comes at a pivotal time when infrastructure improvements have a high probability of providing a measurable return. City council voted unanimously to approve the acceptance of the award.
South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson announced that the rate decrease for SCE&G customers passed by the state legislature will now continue. The U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals denied SCE&G’s motion to stop the rate decrease while a court battle over it continues. The court also denied SCE&G’s request to speed up that lawsuit, denied the company’s request to dismiss it, and allowed Wilson to file friend-of-thecourt briefs in the case. “This is another big win for SCE&G ratepayers,” Wilson said. “We’ve argued that customers should not have to pay billions of dollars for a hole in the ground. The U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals recognized that it would be inappropriate to halt the General Assembly’s reduction of customers’ rates.”

Big Estate man convicted of attempted murder in shooting of his brother-in-law
A Big Estate man who escalated a verbal argument between his wife and his in-laws over garbage that piled up in the home has been convicted of attempted murder. Joseph Brown, 37, was Joseph Brown found guilty Wednesday, Sept. 19, in Beaufort County General Sessions Court of shooting his brother-in-law, Greg Black, of Hampton, Va. Brown also was convicted of possession of a weapon during commission of a violent crime after a two-day trial, in which prosecutors called 13 witnesses. He was sentenced Thursday, Sept. 20, to 30 years in prison for the attempted murder conviction and five years for the weapons violation. The sentences are to be served concurrently. “Joseph Brown turned a family disagreement into a violent confrontation and tried to kill his brother-in-law without provocation,” said Kimberly Smith of the 14th Circuit Solicitor’s Office, who tried the case with fellow Career Criminal prosecutor Mary Jones. “In fact, a fraction of an inch difference in the path of a bullet is likely all that separated Greg Black from the serious injury he suffered and his death.”
The shooting took place on the front porch of the home in northern Beaufort County where Greg Black grew up. He arrived there the night of June 5, 2016, during a power outage caused by a summer thunderstorm. He was returning with his father, 61-year-old Ronnie Black, who owned the home and had visited his son in Virginia earlier in the week. Joseph Brown, who is Ronnie Black’s sonin-law, also lived at the address, along with his wife Denice Black Brown and their three children. While unpacking in the dark house, Ronnie Black heard a noise outside his bedroom window and took a flashlight and .40-caliber semiautomatic pistol with him to investigate. Finding nothing, he returned to the house, where he began arguing with his daughter about garbage that piled up in a utility room while he was away. Greg Black, standing nearby, suggested they take the discussion to the front porch, away from the children. Hearing the argument, Joseph Brown exited his parked SUV in the front yard, where he had been sitting with the air conditioning running while smoking a vape and listening to his radio. He went to the porch, bringing a .38-caliber revolver with him.
Brown inserted himself into the argument. He then shot his father-in-law four times in the torso and arm, and struck him over the head repeatedly with the revolver, according to reports. He then shot Greg Black twice. One bullet struck him in the buttocks and the other in his thigh, narrowly missing his femoral artery. Brown was charged with Ronnie Black’s murder, however, the jury acquitted him of that charge on Wednesday. The semiautomatic pistol was in Ronnie Black’s possession during the argument, although it was not fired. Brown argued that he shot both Ronnie and Greg Black in self defense. As Smith and Jones demonstrated, the crime-scene evidence did not corroborate all of Brown’s claims. He told Beaufort County Sherriff ’s Office investigators that after shooting Ronnie Black, his father-in-law tried to toss his pistol to Greg Black, who lunged for the firearm. However, Greg Black was shot from behind, and the gun was recovered just inches from Ronnie Black’s body. A forensic pathologist from the Medical University of South Carolina testified that bullets pierced Ronnie Black’s heart, lungs and aorta, making it likely he would have fallen unconscious within seconds, if not immediately.
Greg Black also testified that he never posed a threat to Brown. His sister, Denice Black Brown, told the jury of nine women and three men that she didn’t know why her husband shot her brother. Joseph Brown fired all six rounds in his revolver. It was so badly damaged during the attack – either by the blows to Ronnie Black’s head, the high-powered cartridges he fired from it or a combination of those factors – that it split in two locations and the cylinder could not be opened for reloading. “The shooting of Greg Black was wanton and evil,” Jones said. “He wasn’t a threat. He was struck from behind. We also know that after firing all the rounds in his revolver, Joseph Brown went back to his truck, where he also kept a 9 mm handgun. He might have used it to kill Greg, but fortunately, by that point, Greg was already on the phone with a 911 dispatcher.” Judge Carmen T. Mullen delivered the prison sentence. Smith and Jones are members of the Solicitor’s Office Career Criminal Unit, which prosecutes the circuit’s most violent and habitual offenders. The team has earned convictions against 310 of the 322 defendants it has prosecuted since its formation in 2008.
Public support growing for transportation tax referendum The Sea Island Corridor Coalition has joined with an expanding number of Beaufort County organizations to advocate passage of a one-cent transportation sales tax referendum on the November ballot. The one-cent increase is slated to raise $120 million over four years, with proceeds applied
to $30 million for nine road improvement projects on Lady's Island, $10 million for sidewalks and multi-use pathways serving schools and recreational sites in 24 locations throughout the county, and the remaining dollars providing initial funding for bridge replacement and traffic improvements for the Moss Creek
to Squire Pope Road corridor on Hilton Head Island. "For those of us who live on Lady's Island or along the Sea Island Parkway corridor, this is our chance to make something big happen when it comes to traffic improvements on Lady's Island," said Chuck Newton, Coalition Chairman. "We spoke up, made
the case, and the County Council has responded. Now, it's up to us to say yes, and we get a chance to do that in November." The Coalition has been instrumental in helping form a larger advocacy group for the sales tax, Citizens for Better Roads & Bridges. The group currently counts among its membership the
Sea Island Corridor Coalition, the Lady's Island Business & Professional Association, the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce, the Hilton Head-Bluffton Chamber of Commerce, and the Greater Island Council. More are expected to join. Learn more at the Citizens' website at sayyestothepenny.com.

AROUND TOWN MET SERIES AT USCB CENTER FOR THE ARTS
Spectacular Opera “Aida” Opens By Alan Schuster
If it wasn’t for the Suez Canal, it’s likely that Giuseppe Verdi’s magnificent grand opera “Aida” would never have been composed. As the canal was nearing completion in 1869, he was asked by the Egyptian government to write a hymn to celebrate its ceremonial opening. Even though he had no time to do so, he found interest and inspiration in the location and decided to make it an opera instead. Its premiere was staged at the Cairo Opera House in December 1871, almost two years after the canal was opened. Today, “Aida” is perceived to be the grandest of all grand operas. Local opera fans will be able to see for themselves when “Aida” is broadcast in high definition at 1 p.m. on Oct. 6 to open the 2018 Met Series at USCB’s Center for the Arts. “The pomp and circumstance of ‘Aida’ is unmatched in all of opera,” said noted opera historian Denis Forman. “Terrific spectacle, rousing choruses, pathos, passion and a basket full of good tunes.”
YOGA UNDER THE STARS
Fellow opera historian Charles Osborne added that, “In purely musical terms, it is nothing less than a miracle of melodic beauty and imaginative orchestration. Both in its spectacular and intimate aspects, ‘Aida’ is a triumph of the creative imagination.” Cast in the title role for this live Met performance will be one of the world’s most acclaimed sopranos, Anna Netrebko. She will be joined by mezzo-soprano Anita Rachvelishvili as her formidable rival Amneris. Alexandrs Antonenko is the warrior Rhadames, and Nicola Luisotto conducts. The Cairo performances were enthusiastically received. Two years later at the La Scala in Milan, the first performance was under the direction of Verdi himself, who was recalled 32 times by the audience. Still today, this is a show that is not to be missed. Tickets are now available. All seats are general admission. Adults $20; OLLI members $18; Students $10. Order online at www.centerforthearts or call 843-521-4145.

Seeking God
“I Can’t Hear You!” Hearing God in a Noisy World
Have you ever been in a noisy restaurant? You are with a friend, trying to have a good conversation and catch up with one another. But with all of the other voices coming from nearby tables, and the music playing over the speakers, it is almost impossible to hear your friend’s voice and understand what he or she is saying. This is what our daily lives are like. We are always surrounded by noise of some sort. Many of us never experience true silence from the time we step out of bed to the time we climb back in. We are always hearing voices competing for our attention, often literally on television and on the radio, but also through texts, alerts on our phone, and other distractions.
The noisiest things are usually the least important. We are given breathless updates about changes to a celebrity’s diet, the latest sports drama, or the most recent political intrigue. We are constantly urged to focus time and energy on things which won’t matter a year or even a week from now. When you think about it, isn’t it rather exhausting? And does it ever bring us the peace that we seek? God is speaking to us, but we can’t hear him. He is like the friend in the restaurant, sitting at the table with you. He wants to share with you from his heart; he wants to help you get to know him. But with so many voices and distractions, his voice is drowned out. His voice is a quiet voice, a voice that is heard in the silence of our hearts. Silence allows us to hear God. In silence, we come to understand ourselves in a deeper way. We receive new clarity on the events happening in our lives. We can start to think about the big questions in life, such as “Who am I?” and “Why am I here?” And in this quiet reflection, we allow ourselves an opportunity to meet God and to be guided by him. Why not make room for some silence in your day? There are many ways to build some quiet time into the day. You could enjoy a quiet cup of coffee before leaving for work, thinking about the day ahead of you. You could turn off the radio on the way to work, or take a walk on your lunch break with your phone turned off. As little as ten or fifteen minutes of silence can help give peace and clarity to your entire day!

Blood, platelet donations needed in wake of Hurricane Florence
As the American Red Cross responds to Hurricane Florence, providing food, shelter and comfort to those affected, blood and platelet donors are urged to give to care for patients in the storm’s path and across the country. People can also help by making a financial donation to support relief efforts. Hurricane Florence’s wrath left catastrophic damage behind and also took a toll on blood and platelet donations. Nearly 200 Red Cross blood drives in the Southeast were forced to cancel, resulting in more than 5,200 uncollected blood and platelet donations. In South Carolina, 53 blood drives were called off due to the storm, causing
more than 1,300 blood and platelet donations to go uncollected. “Natural disasters like hurricanes can disrupt blood drives and prevent donors from giving, but hospital patients still depend on lifesaving transfusions,” said Cliff Numark, senior vice president of Red Cross Blood Services. “There is an especially critical need for platelets to help cancer patients and type O blood donations for ongoing patient care and emergencies. Every donation can be a lifeline for patients.” As conditions improve, donors of all blood types are urged to make an appointment to give blood or platelets and replenish the blood supply. Appointments can be
made by using the Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org or calling 1-800RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). Financial donations are also needed and allow the Red Cross to provide disaster relief immediately. Help people affected by Hurricane Florence by visiting RedCross. org, calling 1-800-RED CROSS or texting the word FLORENCE to 90999 to make a $10 donation. Up-to-date information about how the Red Cross is responding to Hurricane Florence is available at RedCross.org. Upcoming blood donation opportunities Beaufort • Oct. 4, Noon-6 p.m. — Carteret

Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

Beaufort Digital Corridor presents season two of Game On! The Beaufort Digital Corridor is pleased to welcome season two of “Game On!” – a game design and development program geared toward middle and high school students. Registration is now open for this limited seating opportunity. Seth Konoza, an Animation, Game Design and Computer Sci-
ence educator at Beaufort High School, teaches the code education program where students are introduced to the theory, tools, and practice required to create their own games. The course will be held at the Beaufort Digital Corridor’s BASEcamp facility on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to noon from Oct. 13
to Nov. 17. Among the topics will be game strategy, puzzle design and a final project. Originally an initiative to sell young students on computer science by using video games, it is more than that. “Kids love to play games, so why not give them an opportunity to create their own,” Konoza said.
“ ‘Game On!’ provides students with the tools they need to create their own games, as well as help students develop everyday life skills, such as problem-solving and analytical skills.” Putting the pieces together, kids can then continue their education with the excellent computer science offerings at colleges like
USCB with a career path in technology. Talent, one of the pillars of the Beaufort Digital Corridor, is crucial to the economic vitality and global competitiveness of the Lowcountry. Fun and creative educational initiatives like “Game On!” contribute to the innovation and skills of our future workforce.
BUSINESS BRIEFS Association of Realtors releases August market reports
Rising home prices, higher interest rates and increased building material costs have pressured housing affordability to a 10-year low, according to the National Association of Home Builders. Keen market observers have been watching this situation take shape for quite some time. Nationally, median household income has risen 2.6 percent in the last 12 months, while home prices are up six percent. That kind of gap will eventually create fewer sales due to affordability concerns, which is happening in several markets, especially in the middle to high-middle price ranges. New Listings were up 29.9 percent to 265. Pending Sales increased 22.0 percent to 211. Inventory grew 22.4 percent to 1,120 units. Prices moved higher as Median Sales Price was up 4.4 percent to $235,000. Days on Market decreased 12.6 percent to 76 days. Months Supply of Inventory was up 15.4 percent to six months, indicating that supply increased relative to demand. While some are starting to look for recessionary signs like fewer sales, dropping prices and even foreclosures, others are taking a more cautious and research-based approached to their predictions. The fact remains that the trends do not yet support a dramatic shift away from what has been experienced over
the last several years. Housing starts are performing admirably if not excitingly, prices are still inching upward, supply remains low and consumers are optimistic. The U.S. economy is under scrutiny but certainly not deteriorating.

the answer.” After the initial intake meeting, which has a flat fee of $55, the rest of the treatment plan is based on a sliding scale of $2050 per visit. Florida overcrowding inspired Triponey to relocate her practice to Beaufort. She has been practicing alternative healing for more
than 25 years and is licensed to practice acupuncture in North Carolina, South Carolina and Florida. Beaufort Acupuncture opened in Port Royal in April 2017 and moved to and expanded space on Lady’s Island in September 2018. The clinic is located at 12 Fairfield Road, 5B, on Lady’s Island.
Beaufort acupuncturist Sande Triponey has announced that community acupuncture is now available at her clinic on Lady’s Island. The concept of community acupuncture is a nationwide trend designed to create access to acupuncture by removing the cost barrier to healing. “We know that acupuncture supports the body’s innate ability to heal itself and when received frequently, acupuncture becomes life-changing medicine” said Triponey, owner of Beaufort Acupuncture. Community acupuncture is done in a quiet space with others receiving treatment at the Sande Triponey same time. While patients recline in comfort, acupoints on the scalp, and below the elbows and knees are used to treat the entire body. There is no need to undress – just roll-up sleeves and pant legs. “We want clients to visit often enough to get and stay healthy,” Triponey said. “Affordable, community-style acupuncture is

SCHOOLS
WBECHS earns regional recognition for academics
Whale Branch Early College High School has been honored as the first Platinum-Level “Ready-Certified” high school recognized by the Southern Regional Education Board. The SREB, a nonprofit compact of 16 states stretching from Delaware to Texas, cited WBECHS for its outstanding teaching and leadership with SREB Readiness Courses. The SREB said that after implementing Math Ready and Literacy Ready courses, Whale Branch has seen more than a 30 percent increase in underprepared students meeting the college-readiness English benchmark, and success in Algebra I has reached an all-time high of 78 percent among students who took Ready for High School Math. “This shows the time and effort we’ve put into building the capacity for our teachers,” WBECHS Principal Mona Lise Dickson said. “And once we build that capacity for our teachers, we know our achievement will increase.” Prior to recognizing and certifying Whale Branch, the SREB evaluated student achievement data over time and also conducted an on-site visit to meet with teachers
and school leaders. “Far too many students need developmental (remedial) education when they get to college,” the organization said. “SREB’s Literacy Ready and Math Ready help address the readiness gap by improving specific skills and understanding for high school students.” Dickson said teachers at WBECHS meet once a week for professional development and to brainstorm additional ways of improving student achievement. “The culture of the students is changing right before our eyes,” said Instructional Coach Shelia Cato. “They’re taking their studies more seriously. They know how to go and advocate for themselves because that’s all a part of the SREB training. And it’s working.” Math teacher Peter Burvenich said the school’s approach is raising the academic bar for students. “It is about changing the mindset of teaching mathematics,” Burvenich said. “Putting kids in the atmosphere of productive struggle in order to learn mathematics instead of it becoming just a memorizing process. Give them harder scenarios, harder questions, and give them time to work it out.”

Recycling costs rising as trade war escalates By Bill Rauch
Retailing behemoths like Walmart, Nestle, Coca-Cola and Proctor & Gamble have all recently indicated to their shareholders that prices on the products they sell will be rising because of the escalating U.S.-China trade war. Less publicized, however, is how taxpayers will soon be feeling the pinch of rising trade war-sensitive costs to local governments, too. The trade war is pushing up government recycling costs in some counties, including Beaufort County, but some other coastal counties say they are so far avoiding the escalating costs. The effects of Hurricane Florence are further complicating the picture, mostly by increasing the dampness in the materials that are being gathered. The difference is how the recycling publics in Beaufort, Charleston, Georgetown and Horry counties have been trained, how the materials are gathered in each county, the rigor that is applied to the sorting process at the Materials Recovery Facilities (MRFs) that serve each county, and how and to whom the MRFs sell the recycled materials. Here’s the story. Charleston County discontinued use of its MRF in 2016 and is in the process of building a new one. In the meantime Charleston’s recycling is being trucked 100 miles to the Horry County Solid Waste Authority’s (HCSWA’s) MRF in Conway. There it is sorted alongside Horry County’s recycling before being sold by the Authority. The Authority’s Director of Operations, Mike Bessant, says the prices they are getting for their recyclables are holding up, especially since they put on “a few more people” to work as sorters to further ensure the cleanliness of the recyclables — paper, cardboard, unlined beverage cans and clear plastics — they auction off monthly. Both counties’ recycling is a mixture of materials collected at curbside, materials collected from bins at convenience centers, and cardboard boxes collected from retailers. But the recycling in Beaufort County is collected almost entirely at curbsides by WastePro, a hauler who takes the recyclable material to one of several nearby MRFs that are under contract to Waste Management. Once those materials are sorted and baled
they are sold by Waste Management, which is experiencing considerable difficulties auctioning off its baled recyclables. “Any material coming from a residential program is becoming virtually impossible to sell,” Waste Management’s chief corporate spokesperson, Susan Robinson, said last week. “We’re seeing that the average resale value of a co-mingled ton of recyclable material is less than half now what it Bill Rauch was in 2017. Bills will be going up because the overall cost of recycling is going up.” In Georgetown County the situation is similar to Beaufort’s. “Recycling revenue is going down due to the challenges presented by the global market,” Michelle LaRocco, Georgetown County’s Environmental Services Division Manager said last week, “and the effect of that will soon be felt at the ‘household fee’ line on tax bills.” Why are some programs hurting while others seem more resistant to the hurt? In 2017 Waste Management sold 33 percent of its recyclable material to China. But at the beginning of this year, as the trade war heated up, China cracked down. The new year — and the trade war — began with the implementation of China’s “National Sword Initiative” that sought to eliminate “unnecessary moisture” in recyclable materials, especially paper products, because of the risk of their “bringing bacteria and fungus” into the country. As part of the program, Chinese Customs began, for example, x-raying scrap paper bundles and turning around bundles that were found to contain too much moisture. Then in March — further tightening the screws — China began requiring under a second program called “Blue Sky” that the recyclable materials it was receiving adhere to a heightened “contamination standard.” Under the Blue Sky criteria “contaminants,” which might be things like pizza grease on a pizza box, or a styrofoam cup, or a slice of a garden hose, or a single-use plastic bag, could not exceed five-tenths of a percent of the total load. That was a tripling of the
standard from last year’s 1.5 percent, and recycling professionals say there are few programs that can meet the new standard. The one-two punch was severe and the portion of their recyclables Waste Management was selling to Chinese mills fell, according to the company, in the first half of 2018 from 33 percent to 3 percent. Then in mid-August the 25 percent tariff imposed by both the U.S. and China on imported goods — including plastic, paper, metal recyclables, machinery, steel and heavy equipment — not only effectively closed the Chinese market to U.S. recyclables, but the tit-for-tat moves made the cost of running a domestic MRF rise, too. “The tariff just added insult to injury,” Waste Management’s Robinson says. “Not so much because the cost of introducing recyclables into China would rise. That market was gone already. But because of the increased cost of the Chinese-made equipment that is used in the MRF’s.” The Horry County Solid Waste Authority’s Bessant agrees. “Because of the tariffs the steel market prices are up,” Bessant said. “That affects the cost of the baling wire we wrap with, the plates and the rollers on the conveyer belts. Everything that’s steel is all going up.” In addition to looking for buyers at all the domestic outlets, Waste Management is also selling to mills where the raw materials are refashioned into new products in India, Indonesia, and Vietnam, but those markets have been saturated. Why can some MRF’s sell their baled recyclables and others cannot? Volume is important. As the largest recycling services company in North America, Waste Management is trying to get rid of vastly more recyclable material than is, say, the HCSWA, whose throughput is that of just two moderate-sized counties. But quality is important too. For example, Horry County’s non-commercial recyclables are half comprised of items distributed to various containers by conscientious citizens who know the rules and who have separated their recyclables from their trash before taking it all off for disposal at the convenience center. The recyclables from those bins are typically considerably “cleaner” than the
co-mingled materials found in the curbside bins used by residential programs. Educating the public is important too. Horry and Charleston County spokespeople say their governments have consistently sought to educate their residents about what can and cannot be contributed to their recycling programs. But in Beaufort County, for example, those efforts have been lackluster. Now, however, in the face of the tougher market, according to Waste Management’s local spokesperson Marla Prince, community education efforts are being strengthened. These efforts will include, for example, rolling out in Beaufort County the company’s “Wish Recycling” ad campaign that instructs households to be more discriminating about tossing into the family’s household bin items that they are not sure are eligible. And finally the standards at each MRF make a big difference. But higher standards typically mean higher costs, as a “cleaner” throughput typically requires more eyes and hands on the conveyer belts — and more human sorters means more money. As standards stiffen, communities will increasingly face the difficult choice of paying more for their feel-good recycling programs, or scrapping them altogether and taking everything to the landfill. Without its being explicitly announced, the landfill option already is becoming more utilized in some places. This year for the first time City Halls are getting phone calls from citizens complaining that they saw the contents their curbside recycling bin being dumped into the garbage truck. That’s because, Waste Management spokesperson Prince says, haulers like WastePro in Beaufort are being instructed to look into the recycling bins and if they see “contaminated” materials, to throw the whole lot into the garbage bin. That’s at the pound-by-pound level, but quietly similar decisions are being made at the ton-by-ton level. “Last summer we were getting $100 a ton for recycled mixed paper,” Georgetown’s LaRocco said recently. “Now we’re paying $55 a ton to get rid of it.” Bill Rauch was the mayor of Beaufort from 1999-2008.

A party in her mailbox
My neighbor, Connie, reached out to our community and asked people to send a birthday card or letter to her mother, Mrs. Rogers, whose 90th birthday was coming up. Connie knew that her mother loved mail and would get such a kick out of having so many birthday greetings. She called it a “Party in her Mailbox.” What a unique idea! Everyone I know loves to get mail, and it would be a treat to get a mailbox full on your birthday. So, I wrote a letter to Connie’s mother. I shared a bit about my time in New England, where she lived, and mentioned that she had a very thoughtful daughter. This experience reminded me again of the importance of letters and about a letter I recently discovered amidst some of my father’s old papers. It was from my great-grandfather Frank Saunders, who had sent it to my great-grandmother Carrie. It was dated,
Now what?
HIGHLIGHTING DAILY LIFE OBSERVATIONS
Lee Scott, a writer and recent retiree, shares her everyday observations about life after career. A former commercial banker responsible for helping her clients to reach their business objectives, Scott now translates those analytical skills to her writings. She recently moved to St. Helena Island with her husband and two cocker spaniels. She enjoys boating, traveling and reading.
Sept. 7, 1920, almost 100 years ago. The letter was written on the stationery from Hotels St. James, 211 Rue St Honoré, Paris, France. Why was my great-grandfather in France two years after World War I, and why wasn’t my great-grandmother with him? In the letter he wrote about the places he had visited and the sites he had seen as he traveled throughout France. I could not understand the purpose of this trip until one of
my brothers suggested that Grandpa Frank might have been there with the Knights of Columbus. He was right. I found a book which outlined the whole trip. The title is “The Story of the Knights of Columbus Pilgrimage” by Patrick H. Kelly. But the best part of finding the letter, is not just about the incredible pilgrimage, but the fact he wrote the letter and now his great-granddaughter, whom he never met, has it.
How many people can say that their written letters will be discovered someday by their great-grandchildren? We have all gotten so far away from writing letters about our travels and experiences. Instead they are logged in e-mails or posted on social media to be lost forever. There is something so personal in having someone write a letter. It takes time and thought. Plus, there is the cost of stationery and stamp and finding the correct mailing address. But it is in this simple act where the letter gains so much importance. Someone stopped in their busy day and took the time to write. As for Connie’s mother, she loved all the letters she received. At 90 years old, there is not much she really needs, but all the kind words were the best gifts. Happy Birthday, Mrs. Rogers.
Nothing Like A Good Lawyer! Many people have negative opinions about lawyers, but we’re going to try to change that this week. For this week’s wine, we are going to the Piedmont region in northwestern Italy, to the town of Asti. Yes, the same town that the well-known Asti Spumante comes from, but other wines have the name of this town attached to them. Not surprising, since the history of Asti and nearby areas includes wines and vineyards from before the Romans. Our grape variety is believed to have originated in this area in the 13th century. There are documents from the cathedral of Casale (castle) Monferrato (a nearby town) that are dated between 1246 and 1277. These are lease agreements for lands planted with vines of “de bonis vitibus barbexinis.” “Barbexinis” is the ancient name for our grape, Barbera. In 1985, the was a huge scandal in the Piedmont region. Supposedly, some Barbera producers were adding methanol to their wines B4
SEPTEMBER 27-OCTOBER 3, 2018
and 30 people were killed and many others lost their eyesight. The bad press obviously hurt Barbera wine sales. Today, though, it is still the third-most planted red variety in Italy. Barbera may be relatCelia Strong ed to the French variety, Mourvedre, also known in Spain as Mataro. Barbera vines are vigorous and can produce high yields. Judicious pruning can control the yield and ensure the grapes that are harvested have good fruitiness and balanced acidity and astringency. Barbera can grow in a wide range of soils, including less fertile calcareous and clay loam. Barbera grapes ripen earlier than other Piedmont reds. There are more than 50,000 acres of Barbera planted in Italy. Around the Asti area in Piedmont, the climate is warmer and this variety ripens with sugar levels to balance its acid levels. Barberas
from Asti are fresh, fruity and crisp reds with juicy textures, and meant to be drunk fairly young. It is known as the “people’s wine” in Piedmont — part of their everyday life! Our winery, Coppo, has underground cellars that are a UNESCO World Heritage site. The cellars are actually part of a network of underground cathedrals dedicated to history and the hard work of men. Built in the late 18th century, Coppo’s small cellars were intended to actually cellar wines. During the 19th century, they were expanded and now cover more than 16,000 square feet, 130 feet below the surface. L’Avvocata is the name of our Barbera. Coppo L’Avvocata Barbera d’Asti DOCG. It is named for the female lawyer who owns the vineyard. A strict, stern and commanding woman, known to locals as just “the lawyer” — or L’avvocata! This wine is 100 percent Barbera, grown on the south side of Asti. The vineyards have calcereous clay-marl soil,
with a lot of silt, and have southern exposures. The ripest, healthiest grapes are selected at harvest, macerated with skin contact and pumped over multiple times. A total malolactic fermentation is done, then the wine is aged in stainless steel tanks. It is a ruby red color, with just a hint of purple. It has intense cherry, raspberry and blackberry aromas and flavors, as well as orange peel, cocoa powder, rosebuds, and mint. As it should be, this wine is fresh and crisp, and best served with a slight chill to enhance the crispness. Besides pairing well with salamis, poultry and seafood, and meatballs in tomato sauces, this wine goes wonderfully with fried foods, sushi, Asian flavors including soy sauce and Chinese five spice, chilled meats and salads. Plus afternoon and evening sipping all by itself. Yes, a good lawyer is here, and a female one at that. For $14.99. Enjoy. Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island.
