Celebrate the 4th with fireworks, festivities and flyovers

Beaufort shows patriotic stripes with flag on Woods bridge

By Kat Walsh Beaufort just scored a first for the state of South Carolina: the first city to allow a flag to be displayed from a bridge. And we’re not just talking about any bridge, we’re talking about our swing bridge. And we’re not just talking about any flag, we’re talking about a massive 15-foot-by-25-foot United States flag.

While you’ve probably seen the flag hanging from the Richard V. Woods Memorial Bridge (how could you miss it?), most don’t know the story of how that flag – a gift to the community from EatStayPlay Beaufort and PickleJuice Productions – got there.

It started over a year ago, when Ginger Wareham of PickleJuice was working with the American Legion and

started thinking about how to make Beaufort the most patriotic city in U.S. “We have such a strong and proud military presence in Beaufort, why shouldn’t we have a giant American flag displayed right here in the heart of our community to honor our American heroes?” Wareham asked. “And to me, somehow that meant we needed that flag hanging from our bridge.”

For the rest of the year, Wareham researched how she could make that vision a reality. She looked at how other cities had been able to display a huge flag from a bridge, but didn’t find much guidance.

Turns out, New York City made it happen, but hardly any Beaufort-sized cities had the bridge or the ability to follow through on a similar feat.

This year, one week before Flag Day, the effort switched into high gear when Wareham reached out to state representative Shannon Erickson, who was immediately on board.

“Beaufort is one of the most patriotic places in the United States,” Erickson said. “It is only fitting that we salute our nation and her people with the display of our Star-Spangled Banner on our iconic Woods Memorial Bridge.”

“Shannon was able to take my creative vision and turn it into a reality by getting approval at the state level, which has never been done before,” Wareham said.

And in less than one month, that vision is indeed very much a reality.

“We are beyond delighted that so many folks joined the effort to

make this happen so quickly for our community,” continued Wareham, as she went through a long list of helpful names – S.C. Department Of Transportation legislative liaison Allen Hutto, Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling, Beaufort City Manager Bill Prokop, Beaufort Fire Chief Reece Bertholf, Deputy Fire Chief Tim Ogden and the local first responders who hung the flag.

Wareham hopes that hanging the American flag from the Woods bridge will become an annual tradition. A testament to community, collaboration and a shared vision to honor our military friends and their families.

"If all goes well logistically this first time, perhaps we can even go bigger next year!"

Mace joins race for Cunningham’s House seat

By Mike McCombs S.C. State representative Nancy Mace announced on Wednesday, June 26 that she is running for the 1st Congressional District seat currently held

by Democrat Joe Cunningham.

Mace joins Mt. Pleasant’s Kathy Landing in seeking the Republican nomination in the 2020 primary.

“I believe Republicans will win back the First Congressional District with the right type of candidate; someone who is supportive of the President especially on infrastructure

and immigration; someone who has a solid record of true fiscally conservative values; but also a conNancy s e r va t i o n i s t Mace who believes in preserving the beauty and quality of life in the Lowcountry,” Mace said in a release.

Mace currently represents the 99th district – Hanahan, northeast Mt. Pleasant and Daniel Island – in the S.C. Statehouse. She won the seat

in a runoff over Mark Smith in a special election to replace the indicted Jimmy Merrill in 2017. She was re-elected last year, easily holding off Democratic challenger Jen Gibson.

Prior to her statehouse tenure, Mace ran for Lindsay Graham’s Senate seat in 2014, finishing fifth in the Republican primary with 6.19 percent of the vote. She did land a key endorsement, however, from the National Association for Gun Rights.

Mace was a Coalitions Director and Field Director for

Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. during the 2016 presidential primaries. She worked in seven different states and was involved in the S.C. Republican primary for the 1st Congressional District, where Trump-supported Katie Arrington defeated incumbent Mark Sanford.

“I look forward to meeting and speaking with voters in SC-1 to hear about their thoughts and their ideas,” Mace said in a release. “I want to learn what is most important to them, their families and their businesses, because in the end, we

are all in this together.”

In the announcement that she’s running for the 1st Congressional District seat, Mace cites infrastructure, Constitutional rights, the border wall and increased border security as priorities.

“We simply cannot allow radical politicians in Washington to turn America into a socialist country,” Mace said. “My legislative record shows I will stand up for the Lowcountry. I will stand up for my beliefs and my constituents even when it means bucking the party line.”

Mace, a Goose Creek native and Stratford High School graduate, graduated magna cum laude from The Citadel, where she was the school’s first female graduate from its Corps of Cadets in 1999. She later earned a masters degree in Mass Communication from the University of Georgia.

In 2001, she authored “In The Company of Men: A Woman at The Citadel.”

Her business experience includes corporate technology consulting and commercial real estate. She has two children.

Business has been brisk since he opened on June 1, O’Brien said, and it will be insane the closer the July 4 gets.

O’Brien, one of two fireworks venders in northern Beaufort County, said this is his second year selling fireworks.

“People have been coming up and asking ‘do you remember me from last year?’” he said. “Sometimes I do. But I sure don’t remember what they bought.”

FIREWORKS SAFETY TIPS

The July 4 holiday is here and S.C. State Fire Marshal Jonathan Jones is reminding citizens to think of safety first if participating in any fireworks activities.

“This national holiday is a busy one for fireworks – and fires,” Jones said. “You cannot take safety for granted when it comes to fireworks. We want everyone to have fun, but safety precautions must come first.”

Jones suggests these safety tips: • Observe local laws. If unsure whether it is legal to use fireworks, check with local officials.

• Observe local weather conditions. Dry weather can make it easier for fireworks to start a fire.

• Buy from permitted fireworks retailers.

• Store fireworks in a cool, dry place.

• Always have an adult present when shooting fireworks.

• Use common sense. Always read and follow the directions on each firework.

• Only use fireworks outdoors, away from homes, dry grass, and trees.

• Ensure people and pets are out of range before lighting fireworks.

• Light one firework at a time and keep a safe distance.

• Put used fireworks in a bucket of water; keep a garden hose on hand.

The fireworks “nevers”: • Never point or throw fireworks at another person.

• Never re-ignite malfunctioning fireworks.

• Never experiment or attempt to make your own fireworks.

• Never give fireworks to small children.

• Never carry fireworks in your pocket.

• Never shoot fireworks from metal or glass containers.

• Never place any part of your body directly over a fireworks device when lighting the fuse.

Back up to a safe distance immediately after lighting fireworks.

Keep your pets’ well-being in mind this July 4 You and your friends may have a blast on July 4, but odds are your pets aren’t so keen on Independence Day. Beaufort County encourages pet owners to plan ahead for the well-being of their pets on July 4 holiday Day. Every year at this time, the County’s Animal Services Department receives an influx of 30 to 60 lost dogs and cats.

According to Animal Services Director Tallulah McGee, it may seem obvious, but the sound triggered by fireworks or other loud noises may cause even those pets accustomed to being outside to break their restraint or jump a fence in an attempt to find safety and feel protected.

Consequently, pets should always be properly identified with

a microchip or tag. McGee also suggests that owners keep current photographs of pets in case a pet goes missing.

“Loud fireworks and large crowds can distress animals, so avoid taking them to Fourth of July activities,” McGee said. “Instead, keep your pets safe and comfortable in a quiet, sheltered, and escape-proof area at home.”

Further, exposure to lit fireworks can potentially result in death, severe burns, or trauma to the face and paws of curious pets. Even unused fireworks can pose a danger, since many varieties contain potentially toxic substances, such as arsenic.

McGee added that pets should not be left confined in hot cars, as this not only jeopardizes the

well-being of pets by putting them at risk to brain damage and heat stroke but also exposes the owner to monetary fines.

Another danger to pets is alcohol poisoning. Pet owners should take care not to leave alcoholic beverages accessible to pets. Pets drinking alcohol, including beer, can become dangerously intoxicated, go into a coma, or in severe cases, die from respiratory failure.

Fermented hops and ethanol are poisonous to dogs and cats.

Individuals whose pets go missing should notify the Animal Services Department at shelter@ bcgov.net or 843-255-5010. The public is also welcome to post a photo of lost or found animals on the department’s Facebook page.

PET SAFETY ON JULY 4

Here’s a list of tips to keep your pets safe from the website of the American Veterinary Medical Association: • Leave your pets at home when you go to parties, fireworks displays, parades and other gatherings. Loud fireworks, unfamiliar places and crowds can all be very frightening to pets, and there’s great risk of pets becoming spooked and running away.

• Consider putting your pets in a safe, escape-proof room or crate during parties and fireworks.

• Keep horses and livestock in safely fenced areas and as far from the excitement and noise as possible.

• If you’re hosting guests, ask them to help keep an eye on your pets to make sure they don’t escape. Placing notes on exit doors and gates can help both you and your guests remain vigilant.

• Keep your pets inside if you or your neighbors are setting off fireworks.

• Keep sparklers, glow sticks, fireworks,

•

charcoal and kabob skewers away from curious pets.

Don’t let pets get near your barbecue grill while it is in use or still hot.

Avoid the urge to feed your pets table scraps or other foods intended for people. Be especially careful to keep them away from these common foods that are actually toxic.

Remember that too much sun and heat (and humidity!) can be dangerous to pets. Keep them inside when it’s extremely hot/humid; make sure they have access to shady spots and plenty of water when outdoors; don’t leave them outside for extended periods in hot weather; and know the signs that a pet may be overheating.

Never leave your pet in your car when it’s warm outside. Vehicle interiors heat up much faster than the air around them, and even a short time in a locked car can be dangerous to pets.

holiday, consider leaving your pets at home with a pet sitter or boarding them in a kennel. If you need to bring them with you, be sure you know how to keep them safe.

• Follow safe food handling and hygiene practices to protect your family and guests.

• After the celebrations, check your yard for fireworks debris before allowing pets outside to play or relax.

Even if you didn’t set off fireworks yourself, debris can make its way into your yard, where curious animals may pick it up to play with or eat.

• After the celebrations, check your pastures and remove debris to protect horses and livestock.

• After the celebrations, if you hosted guests, check both your yard and home for food scraps or other debris that might be dangerous to pets, such as food skewers.

Hunting Island Lighthouse restoration could begin in late 2020

By Mindy Lucas Visitors to the Hunting Island Lighthouse could see a “closed for repairs” sign on the 160-year-old historic structure due to significant restoration work that could start as late as next year or first of 2021, park officials say.

The work on the lighthouse at Hunting Island State Park is needed due to normal “wear and tear” of the popular visitor destination which, along with five miles of pristine beaches, is the park’s primary draw, said Dawn Dawson-House, a spokeswoman for the S.C. De-

partment of Parks, Recreation and Tourism.

But exactly what that work will entail and when it will begin remains “speculative” since funding for the project has yet to go through the legislative or permitting process, Dawson-House said.

“We just know this is what our assessment said is needed, but again, it’s too early to tell when work will begin and what all that will involve,” she said.

An assessment of the lighthouse conducted by a Charleston engineering firm

last year, found the lighthouse is in need of repair work due to cracks throughout its brick masonry and corrosion to cast iron found in both in the interior and on the structure’s exterior skin.

The firm made a number of long-term conservation recommendations as well as immediate safety suggestions such as limiting the total number of visitors allowed inside the lighthouse at any given time.

The agency will seek funding for the project – which could cost $3 million – for its

2020 – 2021 fiscal year, Dawson-House confirmed.

The lighthouse renovation joins a list of other projects planned in the wake of devastation caused by Hurricane Matthew in 2016, including a beach restoration project expected to cost $11 million and begin in November.

Dawson-House said usually when a project of this nature is green lighted, the parks system will pick a time when the least amount of visitor traffic will be passing through.

“For Hunting Island, this is usually somewhere after the winter holidays in either January or February,” she said.

Parker’s donates $10K to Lowcountry Autism Foundation Parker’s recently donated $10,000 to the Lowcountry Autism Foundation, supporting the nonprofit organization’s Art Therapy Program in full for the year through the company’s Fueling the Community charitable giving program.

“We wanted to partner with an organization that made a real impact in the communities we serve,” Parker’s Vice President of Marketing Brandon Hofmann said in a release. “We know this important organization relies on community support to fund their programs for families affected by autism.”

Funds were raised through the sale of 20,000 reusable Autism Awareness travel cups, which are available at Parker’s locations throughout Georgia and South Carolina.

“We are grateful to Parker’s for helping enhance the lives of children with autism,” Lowcountry Awareness Foun-

Parker’s Vice President of Marketing Brandon Hofmann, left, recently presented a $10,000 check to the Lowcountry Autism Foundation to support the nonprofit organization’s Art Therapy Program for the upcoming year. Lowcountry Autism Foundation Program Coordinator Sophia Townes, third from right, accepted the donation on behalf of the organization. dation Program Coordinator Sophia Townes said. “Art

therapy is incredibly important for children with autism.

It helps develop a child’s self-esteem, improves com-

munication skills and gives them a creative outlet.”

The Lowcountry Autism Foundation is headquartered in Charleston and serves families throughout coastal South Carolina.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control estimates that one in 42 boys and one in 189 girls are diagnosed with autism in the United States and reports that autism affects more children in America than diabetes, AIDS, cancer, cerebral palsy, cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy or Down syndrome combined.

The Lowcountry Autism Foundation provides programs to support families through customized programs designed to fill gaps in service. With a small staff and a dedicated group of volunteers, the organization has provided more than $500,000 in free autism services to over 1,500 Lowcountry families.

Chamber seeking volunteers, sponsors Sponsors and volunteers are needed for the Beaufort Regional Chamber's 25th Annual Beaufort Shrimp Festival, scheduled for Oct. 4-5 in Beaufort's Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park.

The Beaufort Shrimp Festival celebrates the Lowcountry's seafood culture and economy. For hundreds of years, area residents from Native Americans to colonists and settlers have survived in part due to the bountiful harvest from Beaufort's rivers, creeks, marshes and the sea.

"We are thrilled to once again be presenting the Beaufort Shrimp Festival, and we are counting on the community to rise up like the tide to help make it a great success," Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Blakely Williams said in a release.

During the Shrimp Festival, area restaurants and chefs prepare and offer samples of their favorite shrimp-based recipes, with awards going to the crowd favorites. The family-friendly event also features a 5K run, entertainment and other food offerings during the Friday night kick-off and all-day Saturday schedule.

"Our members and our community love the Beaufort Shrimp Festival and have come to know it as one of the premier events in the Lowcountry," Williams said. "We are beyond thrilled to be producing this amazing annual tradition."

Sponsorships are available at varying levels of recognition and financial commitment. For details, call 843525-8525 or email Hello@ BeaufortChamber.org.

Led by Bishop Skip Adams of TECSC, the Open Conversation will include other clergy and lay leaders, including Archdeacon Callie Walpole and the Rev. Bill Coyne, Diocesan Missioner for Returning Congregations.

The event is open to the public, and will be of special interest to people who attend Episcopal/Anglican churches in the region, including those affected by the 2017 state Supreme Court decision to return the property of the Diocese of South Carolina and 29 parishes to The Episcopal Church.

“We encourage people in parishes who are affected by the court ruling to bring their questions and concerns to this Open Conversation,” Coyne said. “This is an opportunity to engage with one another with an open heart as we walk the road toward reconciliation together.”

Marijuana, glaucoma and your eyes DR. MARK SIEGEL

a glaucoma treatment.

Do not self-medicate with marijuana in an attempt to treat glaucoma. You can lose your vision if you don’t have a reliable, effective treatment for glaucoma.

Speak with your ophthalmologist to find the glaucoma treatment option that’s best for you.

Tell your doctor if you do use marijuana regularly.

What is the ccnnection between glaucoma and marijuana?

Glaucoma is an eye condition in which the optic nerve becomes damaged over time, first reducing peripheral vision before possibly leading to total blindness. One cause of optic nerve damage in glaucoma is higher-than-normal eye pressure (intraocular pressure or IOP).

As marijuana has been legalized for medical or recreational use in more U.S. states and Canada, it has become more visible and discussed as a possible treatment for many health conditions. Research in the 1970s and 1980s did show a measurable decrease in intraocular pressure for three or four hours after smoking cannabis or ingesting THC as a pill or injection.

But to treat glaucoma and save vision, eye pressure has to be controlled 24 hours a

day.

To reduce intraocular pressure by 3 to 5 mm Hg — and maintain that reduction — you would have to ingest about 18 to 20 mg of THC six to eight times a day, every day. The possible negative effects on mood, mental clarity and (if smoked) lung health would be significant. You would not be able to drive, operate machinery or engage in many common activities.

In addition, the cost of using marijuana every three to four hours, every day makes it cost-prohibitive for most patients.

As a comparison, alcohol also has a moderate intraocular pressure-lowering effect for an hour or so after a drink.

But no doctor would recommend that you drink alcohol every hour to treat glaucoma. Many other effective treatments are available that don't have the side-effects of alcohol.

Studies haven’t proven THC effective Studies have been done on THC eye drops, pills and cigarettes. Eye drops led to burning, irritated eyes and were shown to not lower eye pressure.

A sublingual (placed in the mouth under the tongue) THC compound found no reduction in intraocular pressure. For another study, glaucoma patients were offered THC-containing pills and/or cigarettes.

Within nine months all of them asked to stop due to side effects.

As scientists learn more about glaucoma, they have also come to understand that

high intraocular pressure in the fluid at the front of the eye is not the only cause of optic nerve damage. Increasing evidence shows that reduced flow of blood to the optic nerve may also cause damage in patients with glaucoma.

Marijuana not only lowers eye pressure, it also lowers blood pressure throughout the body. As a result, marijuana has the potential to lower the blood flow to the optic nerve, effectively canceling out the benefit of lowered intraocular pressure.

What about CBD for glaucoma?

In recent years, CBD has received a lot of attention

and scrutiny. CBD is a derivative of cannabis that doesn’t have mood-altering effects. But just like cannabis that’s smoked or eaten, there is no accepted, current research that shows CBD to be an effective treatment for glaucoma.

In fact, one recent study showed that CBD may actually increase IOP, which would make glaucoma worse.

What is the future of marijuana for glaucoma treatment?

Currently, the only way to control glaucoma and prevent vision loss is to lower the pressure in your eye.

Your ophthalmologist can treat glaucoma with medica-

TIDES FOR BEAUFORT

I

am often asked about whether marijuana is a good treatment for glaucoma or if it’s good for your eyes. Sometimes the patients are embarrassed, but given the changing social attitude and legalization sweeping our country, I think it’s important to look at marijuana from a medical standpoint with an eye towards it’s effects on our eyes – pun intended.

Cannabis and currently available compounds derived from marijuana – like CBD – are not an adequate treatment for glaucoma, or any eye condition.

To treat glaucoma, eye pressure must be managed 24 hours a day. Marijuana is not a practical treatment for constant use.

And more research is still needed into the exact effects of cannabis and cannabis compounds on eye pressure and glaucoma.

The American Academy of Ophthalmology does not recommend marijuana or other cannabis products for the treatment of glaucoma. The American Glaucoma Society and the Canadian Ophthalmological Society agree.

Several current, effective treatments for glaucoma are more reliable and safer than marijuana. If you have glaucoma, you should follow your ophthalmologist’s advice to get the treatment that’s right for you.

The bottom line about marijuana and glaucoma is: The largest association of eye physicians and surgeons in the world does not endorse cannabis or its derivatives as

tion, such as prescription eye drops, or surgery, depending on the type of glaucoma and how severe it is.

Scientists are exploring whether the active ingredients in marijuana may yet offer a glaucoma treatment.

If the effects of cannabis compounds can be isolated, made to be long-acting, and the side effects eliminated, they may lead to new treatments in the future. However, such developments require more research and are years away from becoming a reality.

School district has many challenges but much potential

By Herb Berg When I arrived at the Beaufort County School District a year ago, my first impression was that a community with so much wealth could do better for its students. I leave with that impression confirmed and intensified. We can – we must – do better.

My concern is not the potential of our students, the talents of our teachers or the capabilities of our administrators. I’m very proud of all they’ve achieved and the improvements we’ve made together despite the odds against success. One obvious example is seven straight years of improved high school graduation rates.

Rather, the heart of the problem is a statewide school funding system that’s placed South Carolina 41st in the nation (according to

outward signs of wealth here, 56 percent of our students live in poverty. English is the second language for about 17 percent of students.

These children need assistance and services that our sales tax system fails to fully fund.

Making matters worse, teacher and administrator turnover is high as educators quit in frustration over pay that’s too low and work challenges that are too big.

At the same time, we desperately need repairs to aging buildings and more school rooms for an expanding population.

Yet Beaufort County residents have voted twice against raising capital funds for schools in the last three years. In fact, we haven’t passed a bond vote in 11 years, even as other growing school districts have passed referenda every four or five

years to keep pace with change.

How do we overcome these challenges?

We begin with what we can control. In November, county voters will consider a $344 million bond referendum that would allow us to improve building security, repair leaking roofs, broken air conditioning systems, and aging athletic facilities, and address overcrowding at May River High and River Ridge Academy.

The cost to resident home owners? Nine dollars a month, less than the price of a movie ticket.

At the state level, the S,C. General Assembly should raise starting teacher salaries that currently begin at just $35,000 a year. That’s not enough to afford apartment rent in Beaufort County, which has the state’s highest cost of living. Let’s

raise beginning teacher salaries to $45,000 so they need spend no more than 30 percent of after-tax income for rent, as budget experts recommend. Let them live with the dignity they have earned as professionals.

We have come a long way in the past year toward restoring public trust and confidence in our school board and school system. I know my successor, Dr. Frank Rodriguez, will build and expand on this progress. I like him, trust him and believe in him. You will, too.

I leave knowing we’re moving in the right direction with a talented new leader who will keep us on track, and that our students will – much sooner than later – have the high-quality education they deserve.

Herb Berg has served as Beaufort County’s interim superintendent for the past year.

SC WINS Scholarship a boost for students, workforce Students enrolled in critical workforce programs at the Technical College of the Lowcountry can now tap into the new SC WINS Scholarship.

The Workforce and Industry Needs Scholarship is state-funded and designed to boost the number of technical college graduates in “critical” fields and from low-income backgrounds.

“This is a win-win for students and for the community,” TCL President Dr. Richard Gough said in a release.

“The scholarship encourages enrollment in the workforce areas that need it most, ensuring a stronger pipeline of well-trained workers for employers in the Lowcountry.”

The state’s critical workforce areas include health-

care, computer and information technology, advanced manufacturing, construction, hospitality and tourism, and transportation. Specific TCL programs include computer technology, avionics, culinary arts, building construction, HVAC, medical assisting and many more.

The SC WINS scholarship supplements Lottery Tuition Assistance and other finan-

cial aid to help cover tuition, fees and books. It awards $50 per credit hour on top of the $95 per credit hour LTA award, which together cover more than 75 percent of TCL’s tuition. With other financial aid, many students will be able to attend TCL tuition-free. There is also a book allowance of up to $300 per year.

In addition to those pur-

suing a degree in a critical workforce area, SC WINS will be available to any student who meets income eligibility guidelines for free and reduced lunch. Plus, the scholarship is available to qualified high school students who take college courses through TCL’s dual enrollment program.

Please visit www.tcl.edu/ scwins for more information.

United Way collecting school supplies for Operation Backpack The United Way of the Lowcountry is collecting school supplies and donations as part of Operation Backpack, an initiative of United Way of the Lowcountry’s Women United that provides local students in need with backpacks full of school supplies and uniform shirts to start school.

Women United works with school social workers to identify students in need who are not served by another agency to help fill the gap.

Operation Backpack provided school supplies and uniform shirts to more than 1,000 students throughout Beaufort and Jasper counties last school year. This year, the program is expanding once again to help nearly 1,250 local students.

The roots of this funding system date back to 1999, when the South Carolina Supreme Court held that the state’s constitution requires only that each student have a “minimally adequate education.” With that phrase, the high court set a new low in educational expectations.

Perhaps spurred on by this underachiever mindset, the state in 2006 switched from funding schools with property taxes to funding them from an increase in the sales tax. The modest salestax boost has never generated enough revenue to offset funds lost from property taxes.

Cummings, Stanley rack up more titles Two Beaufort weightlifting phenoms added to their impressive resumes with championship performances in the past week.

CJ Cummings continued his push for a spot on the U.S. Olympic team with another record-smashing performance Thursday at the Junior Pan-American Weightlifting Championships in Havana, Cuba, and Dade Stanley made the most of his final USA Weightlifting Youth National Championships, sweeping his weight class Sunday in Anaheim, California.

Cummings set 15 records in the 73kg weight class while winning gold in the clean and jerk and overall competitions and taking silver in the snatch.

The 19-year-old star posted totals of 154kg in the snatch and 193kg in the clean for a 347kg total. All three marks represented new junior and senior Pan-American records,

as well as junior and senior American records and junior world records.

The Junior Pan-American Championships are a gold event for the qualification

process for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. Cummings already was the top-ranked lifter in any weight class following a dominant performance earlier this month at the Pan-American Championships, where he also broke 15 records.

Stanley claimed all three gold medals in the 81kg weight class at the Youth National Championships, and he did so with relative ease, clinching all three golds with a lift of 145kg on his first clean and jerk attempt. Stanley also hit a 135kg snatch for a 280kg total, easily outpacing the competition by 23kg in the snatch, 3kg in the clean, and 26kg overall.

Stanley was the runner-up for best lifter in the 16-17 age group.

Harmony Lost Sin Enters the Human Family

Adam and Eve had a life we can only dream about.

They had a perfect harmony within themselves. Their intellects and wills were aligned perfectly to goodness and truth, as were their imaginations, feelings, and physical desires. A life of goodness and truth came naturally to them. They enjoyed a perfect union with God and a complete trust in one another as husband and wife.

Into this harmony of the garden, Satan enters.

Like us, the angels were created with free will and called to freely love God. Satan was one of the greatest of the angels, and in his pride he chose not to love and serve God. This separation from God causes him untold misery, and he sees in Adam and Eve a way to strike back at God by turning them away from the love of their creator. He enters the garden to tempt Adam and Eve. (Genesis 3) Can Adam and Eve really trust God? God had clearly commanded that our original parents must not eat from one of the trees in the garden, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Satan enters into conversation with Eve and creates doubt in her mind, telling her that when she eats from it, “You will be like God!” (Gen 3:5) She and Adam give in to this temptation.

Their harmony with God and with each other is also lost.

Adam and Eve experience shame and feel a need to cover their nakedness in front of each other. When God comes, they hide from him. These details show how their harmony with each other has been wounded, as has their perfect union with God. They will now experience suffering and physical death, but the most serious consequence is their spiritual separation from God. The wounds of sin affect the entire human race.

The entire human family has inherited Adam and Eve’s state of spiritual brokenness; we all experience their lack of internal harmony and their attraction to sin. God created us to be united with him, but unless he repairs the separation caused by sin, we will never be able to enjoy union with him here or in heaven. How will he save us and restore the human family to union with him?

This is more than just the eating of a fruit.

Instead of trusting God and his desire for their happiness, Adam and Eve have chosen to disobey God and separate themselves from him.

For the first time, they have sinned.

Sin greatly damages Adam and Eve’s inner harmony.

They find that their souls have become like a broken mirror, damaged in every way by sin. Their intellects are now easily deceived; it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood. Their wills have been weakened; it no longer comes naturally to love selflessly and to do what is good. Their imaginations, feelings, and physical desires are often at odds with goodness and truth.

BAGS AND BOARDS

Local players vie to be cornhole kings of 64th Beaufort Water Festival

By Bob Sofaly With opening ceremonies for the 64th annual Beaufort Water Festival only a week away, 36 teams in two different brackets took over The Shed in Port Royal on Saturday for the annual cornhole tournament.

Seven teams entered in a just-for-fun bracket, but 29 teams entered to win some of the $1,500 total purse available in the competitive bracket.

Noah Weaton and Matthew Jorrells were the big winners, coming out on top in the competitive division. They won 10 matches against just one loss.

The duo of Brannon Gregory and Robert Guthery finished second, followed by Drew Richardson and Hunter Yaklin in third place.

In the recreational division, Jeremy Wilton and Daniel Buchanan were the champions. Kandace Daughtry and Ethan James were second, while Travis Belflower and Tyler Payne were third.

Pictured at right: Peggy Amos, right, gives a little something extra while willing her bag to fly straight during the Water Festival Cornhole Tournament on Saturday afternoon at The Shed in Port Royal. Amos and her husband Malcom won the game, 21-18, to advance to the next round.

Beaufort History Museum spotlights local Melody Makers Back in the day, when “the real rock and roll” ruled, Beaufort’s Melody Makers were one of the most sought after beach bands in the state.

Local folks wax nostalgic remembering beach parties, teen romance and shagging the night away to high-energy music. As far as history goes, the band was an important part of growing up in Beaufort.

Now the beat goes on thanks to a special exhibit at Beaufort History Museum featuring photos, instruments, amplifiers and framed albums of the Melody Makers biggest hits.

A reception with refreshments will be held from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday, July 11, 2019 at the Museum. “Singing Fred Gauch,” along with other past band members, will be there to reminisce with friends and guests.

Admission is free and the public is invited.

“Regardless of where you grew up, there was that one special band, that first slow dance, that first beer”, said Mary Lou Brewton, a local native and vice president of the Museum’s Board of Directors.

In one incarnation, the Melody Makers were (left to right) Larry Rodgers, Ted Ledford, Ronnie Nobles and Fred Gauch.

“In Beaufort we had many great bands, but none have had the longevity of the Melody Makers. From Bailey’s, Oakgrove and the Varnville Pool, the Melody Makers and that sweet Carolina Beach

music rocked our youth away.”

The Melody Makers exhibit is currently open and will be available until through August.

Special themed exhibits are ongoing at the Museum,

which is also completely renovating its principal Exhibit Hall. Phase I of the renovation opened in the spring of 2018.

Phase II, which will offer interactive displays and innovative digital opportunities to

explore Beaufort’s 500-year history, will open later this year.

Hilton Head’s Dayton wins Battey Scholarship Hilton Head Island resident Michele Dayton has been awarded the 2019 Colden R. Battey Scholarship by the Nemours Wildlife Foundation in Yemassee.

The $4,000 scholarship is named for Beaufort attorney and Nemours Wildlife Foundation board chairman Colden R. Battey, Jr. in recognition of his dedication

to wildlife conservation and education.

The scholarship provides a University of South Carolina Beaufort student an internship which includes housing, a salary and experience in the field working on a research project with a Nemours Wildlife Foundation graduate student.

Dayton, originally from

Long Island, N.Y., graduated this spring from the USCB with a Bachelor’s degree in Biology concentrating on coastal ecology and conservation. She is now assisting with several research projects including the study of movements and behavior of alligators in urban communities and the investigation of the use of wetland hab-

itats by predators such as bobcats.

Dayton is quick to say these experiences, which she could not have received in a classroom, have helped make her aware of the many opportunities available to wildlife biologists.

The scholarship recipient is selected by the chair and faculty of USCB’s Depart-

ment of Natural Sciences in consultation with the dean of the School of Science and Mathematics, Joe Staton.

“We invite students to apply based on major focus, academic success and intellectual maturity,” Staton, who is also a professor of Biology/Marine Science, said.

The Nemours Wildlife Foundation is a private op-

them,” Brewton said. She is also co-chairman of the Museum’s Collection Committee and she is encouraging people to preserve photos, books and artifacts, which tell the story of our past. “If people have artifacts they would like to share, we will help them find a home for them,” she said.

Beaufort History Museum, located on the second floor of 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 to the modern era.

The Museum’s hours of operation are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Monday – Saturday. Docents are on duty to provide information and conduct tours.

Admission is $7 per visitor ($6 for Seniors). Children and active military are admitted free of charge.

VOICES

It’s time we are alarmed about Palmetto State’s pension system debt A school in Colorado Springs, Colo., was shuttered.

In Three Rivers, Ore., the school board shortened the school year five days and laid off employees.

Schools in Louisville, Ky., will no longer have police stationed in them under a city budget pending approval this week – a plan that would also close two libraries and cut 88 jobs.

The city of Harvey, Ill., laid off 40 police officers and firefighters.

In the nearby village of Norridge, Ill., property taxes shot up 35 percent. In San Francisco, they increased $298 annually.

Officials in Central Falls, R.I., asked retired city employees to voluntarily take a 50 percent cut in their already-earned retirement benefits. The retirees refused

RICHARD ECKSTROM

but the town cut them anyway – as part of a Chapter 9 bankruptcy plan.

As I’ve been sounding the alarm for the past two decades about South Carolina’s worsening pension funding crisis, I’m sometimes asked what it all means – what are the real-world consequences to the average person?

Each of the above is a direct, tangible consequence of neglecting growth in public pension debt until only drastic options are left: steep cuts in vital services, hefty tax hikes or, most uncon-

scionable of all, defaulting on promises made to retired public employees.

These are just some of the examples I’ve learned of.

And aside from the Central Falls case, they don’t include those municipal governments which have either successfully or unsuccessfully sought bankruptcy protection from creditors – in states that allow it – such as Detroit and Stockton, Calif.

South Carolina’s retirement plans face a funding shortfall of at least $24 billion.

That’s a lot of money – three times more than our current general fund budget. Making up such a shortfall will be painful all around, and the pain will increase annually as we ignore it and let it fester.

In 2017, the Legislature passed what was framed as step one of a two-part fix. It addressed the issue the only

way it seems to know how – by pumping more taxpayer dollars into the system. But while more money was certainly needed, truly fixing the problem would require major structural changes – reforms for which lawmakers lacked the political will. So, step two never happened.

And when it came time to consider what to do with last year’s $177 million revenue surplus, applying money toward the pension shortfall – our state’s most serious long-term problem – simply didn’t make the Legislature’s list of “priorities.”

Which brings me to a couple of questions I got last week from someone who’d heard me recently speak about this. Why don’t S.C. politicians seem to take the pension problem seriously? And what will it take to spur state leaders into action?

To the first question, I’d offer that there are a couple of reasons — primary among them that, historically, politicians have always figured they’d be long gone from office by the time this financial time bomb detonates.

Blissfully ignoring it makes it a problem for future politicians to deal with, a burden for future generations to shoulder.

Yet other states have started to realize that time is no longer an ally. The day of reckoning is arriving.

Another reason for down-playing this problem is because it isn’t the kind of bread-and-butter issue that easily appeals to voters.

But make no mistake: This $24 billion problem stands to impact the issues you care about most, whatever they are.

It threatens our local schools, our police and fire protection, our street maintenance, our

wallets, and our quality of life.

The question “What will it take?” is a harder one, but I hope people will consider the examples I’ve cited about the high cost of inaction. Then, pick up the phone. Call your House and Senate representatives. Make sure they know what’s at stake, and that you’re paying attention.

In government, change never comes easy. But it never comes at all unless people demand it.

I’ve been warning about our broken retirement system since the early 2000s, and there was a time when I’d preface my comments with, “I don’t want to alarm you, but …”

The time bomb has been ticking away since. It’s certainly time to be alarmed by the enormous debt facing our retiree pension fund.

As it gets older, sometimes a father’s story changes

A

lthough American newspapers currently face an existential crisis they still observe certain norms — “If it bleeds it leads.”

And on Father’s Day, one can expect an essay on fatherhood.

It is usually a predictable listing of the life lessons the writer’s father taught him or her. These are lessons the writer did not understand or appreciate until the writer became a father in his own right.

One can expect to read these essays and, yes, wipe back a small tear as he or she thinks back on his or her relationship with their father.

This morning I read the Beaufort Gazette’s Father’s Day offering as presented by Gina Barreca who teaches English at the University of Connecticut. Sure enough the first part of her ‘Letter to Dad’ was the expected homage, the missing of a man who some-

SCOTT GRABER

times listened to “We Gotta Get Out of This Place” and “Sitting on the Dock of the Bay” as father and daughter drove through the verdant Connecticut countryside.

But as Gina’s piece winds down to its inevitable, predictable conclusion, there is a change in tone.

“The odd thing is, of course, that I didn’t like you when I was a little kid. I saw you only as the person who made my mother sad. In part that was because I hardly knew you, since you worked six and sometimes seven days a week at the family business sewing and selling

bedspreads and curtains, leaving before I was awake and returning home only an hour or so before I went to bed.

“The other contributing factor to my sense of distance and of wariness, however, is that I believe you really were a lousy husband to my Mom. There’s no reason not to be honest now, right, Dad? She didn’t trust you and probably had reason not to. I was her ally, and you were the opposition, if not the enemy.

“When she died, young, sad and unreconciled to life, you and I were left in what had become a lonely and dreary house to sift through the wreckage.”

Whoa! This is not the Splenda-tasting essay that one expects on Father’s Day. “You really were a lousy husband to my Mom,” was not the sentiment this reader was expecting.

But now, now I was inter-

ested in Gina Barreca and her father. All of which made me think back to a recent wedding in Dawsonville, Ga. It was my nephew’s wedding which was also attended by my younger brother and sister.

In the course of the reception — and after three maybe four glasses of Chardonnay — I approached my brother and asked him to tell me about his rocky relationship with our father. He was willing to talk and soon we were comparing notes about the arguments and the (occasional) fights we both had with the old man.

Soon we were joined by my sister who sometimes witnessed the father-son conflict.

As we watched the father of the bride dance with his departing daughter (“The Way You Look Tonight”) the three of us talked about our father’s anger. But as the DJ moved from Tony Bennett to Taylor Swift we realized that the three

n a recent car ride with two siblings who are in their seventies, I was serenaded with a rendition of their childhood summer camp song.

They had been driving along talking about their summers, and camp, and the cold swims that were required at 8 each morning, when they broke into the Sherwood Forest song.

Now these two had not seen the camp since the 1950s, and yet here they were in 2019, singing the entire song – all four stanzas. I thought it would never end, and yet I was excited for

of us now saw our father in a more sympathetic light.

We now see a man, just back from World War II, trying to make up for lost time. A young man who lost his innocence tending to American casualties in Manila. A father trying to give his children a shrapnel-free adolescence — something he had lost somewhere between the Aleutian Islands and the Philippines.

By the time I was 17, my father was attached to the Surgical Research Unit at Brook Army Medical Center. He was doing burn research and was getting himself published in medical journals.

But then he decided that we — my mother and my siblings — ought to move to Europe while he was in the Army. And so he got himself transferred to a small laboratory in Germany, did routine lab work, but took us to Vienna, London or Barcelona almost every weekend.

My brother and sister agree that our father put his professional ambition on hold — for at least a year — in order to get to know us better.

Gina Barreca’s letter to her deceased father begs the question — Is it possible to rebound and reboot after a thoroughly disastrous marriage?

Apparently so. Gina Barreca writes about the years following her mother’s death.

“And we did (create a bond) in ways that forged the father/ daughter relationship that had never before existed. I hope you can hear me now, or read me, or sense my wave in your direction. You did the best you could to become a good father to a tough daughter, and I did my best to make you proud.

We did just fine, Dad. Just fine.”

later, bringing back their joint childhood memories.

It seems like most of us move away from our siblings when we turn 18 and begin our own lives. Then spouses, children, and careers take priority and siblings are only seen on holidays or maybe summer vacations.

These two siblings had not lived near one another since the mid-1960s, and yet now, they call each other regularly and try to visit each other several times a year.

For me, my six surviving siblings are people who can bring back a childhood mem-

ory in a second. References to songs, games and movies are easy to recall when the seven of us get together, which seems more frequent now that all our children are grown.

Even in my neighborhood, there are multiples sets of siblings who retired near one another. Brothers who played baseball in their youth are now out on the golf course.

Sisters now play tennis and compare stories about their grandchildren.

I distinctly recall as a child how much I wanted to get away from my siblings.

But now that one of them is gone, our times together seem more valuable.

Besides, we still love to humiliate each other in front of other people. The child remains in each of us.

Now I tell my kids who are in their 40s and busy with their owns lives, that some day they too will reconnect and recall memories of their time together.

As the two Sherwood Forest campers finally came to the end of their song, they burst out laughing. It was then that I heard the sound of the children they once were

together. Sixty years fell away in a heartbeat.

Maybe you have not talked to a sibling in a while. But the July 4 holiday is coming up, and if you cannot get together, you might want to call and at least reminisce.

Besides, you may just find yourself laughing like a kid again.

FOOD LUNCH BUNCH

No Crumbs Left Behind: Briciole Bistro & Bakery MARGARET EVANS

B

riciole is Italian for “crumbs,” and there weren’t many left on our plates as we waddled out of the restaurant last Thursday afternoon.

Briciole Bistro & Bakery is flourishing at 1281 Ribaut Road, continuing a long tradition of serving Italian food in the space recently occupied by Bella Napoli, and before that, by Pizza Hut. (Okay, Italian-ish food.)

The Lunch Bunch rarely goes Italian, so this was quite an event! We also had two new tasters at the table – our new sales rep, Dawn, and Mike’s son Dylan.

The Antipasta menu is long and tempting, including items like Crostini, Calamari Fritti, Eggplant Rollatini, Mozzarella Sticks, Mussels, and more. We ordered up a round of Garlic Bread with cheese on top, and it couldn’t have been more satisfying.

The Lunch Menu features a selection of smaller entrees for $9.99, each served with a house salad. Offerings include Meatball Sliders, Fettucine Bolognese, Personal Pizzas and the like. The idea is to get in and out quickly – and affordably – which is great for working people.

Of course, we of The Island News Lunch Bunch are rarely in a hurry. For us, lunch is work, so we made use of the entire menu. You can, too. Briciole’s lunch menu is merely for your convenience. You can order from the dinner menu all day long.

Dawn had the Spaghetti Aglio Olio – spaghetti noodles topped with garlic sauce, lemon, parsley, evo and parmesan. She enjoyed her selection, saying “it has a little kick,” and noting the chunks of fresh garlic.

Betty orders eggplant whenever and wherever she can, so she went with the Eggplant Parmesan, which

Briciole Personal Pizza

Briciole Stacey & John Ragsdale

Briciole Chef Allen Mather

was particularly cheesy on top. If you like a high ratio of mozzarella to eggplant, this is the eggplant parm for you.

Mike loved his Spaghetti Marinara, saying, “If I ran out of noodles, I would eat this sauce with a spoon. That’s how good it is. Not sweet, not spicy, just very fresh.”

He’d started with a bowl of Seafood Chowder – which he actually did eat with a spoon – and was equally enthusiastic.

Jeff’s Personal Pizza was a table favorite, featuring big chunks of sausage and zesty pepperoni on a truly remarkable crust.

“It’s just right,” he said, and those of us who sampled it concurred. Crispy on the

outside, chewy on the inside – everything you want in a pizza crust.

Did I mention we had a teenage boy at the table? Briciole made it easy by including a Certified Angus Burger on the menu, complete with a side order of fries. With this feast before him and smart phone in hand, Dylan was all set.

I had the Summer Salad, arguably the most beautiful plate to arrive at the table, with its colorful, artfully arranged mix of seasonal fruits and vegetables. I was feeling quite virtuous nibbling on this yummy concoction as my friends stuffed themselves with carbs, but then ...

Dessert happened.

You might have noticed at the top that Briciole is not just a bistro; it’s a bakery. In fact, Stacey Ragsdale – the restaurant’s new owner, along with her husband John – is a trained pastry chef. The bakery is a big part of this business.

The desserts featured that day were Tiramisu, Chocolate Cake with Citrus Butter Cream, a Mixed Berry Mousse, and Cannolis. We ordered one of each for the table, though we were already fairly stuffed. (As your humble food correspondents, we felt it was our duty.)

Had we known how large the servings would be, we might have gone with only one or two. As it stood, we were each able to try several bites of each dessert, and they were all knockouts – not a disappointment in the lot.

The Tiramisu deserves to be singled out, however, since we all agreed – all six of us! – that it was the best tiramisu we’d ever tasted.

When we weren’t happily gorging ourselves, we had the pleasure of chatting with Chef Allen Mathers – who has a Masters in culinary cuisine and 30 years’ experience cooking in Beaufort

Briciole Summer Salad

Briciole Desserts – and with John and Stacey Ragsdale, veteran restaurateurs who have energy and enthusiasm to spare. With their combined experience and ingenuity – and Stacey’s desserts! – we predict a long and happy life for Briciole Bistro & Bakery..

WINE & DINE

Finally, the white is here

T

he white wine is here.

And just in time.

Not just because new white wines become a priority for some wine drinkers in the hot summer months. But, also, because the complete set of a brand is now available. Red. Rosé. And, finally, the white.

Gerberas’ white wine comes the Aragon region in Spain.

Like its red and rosé cousins, Aragon is located in northeastern Spain. It stretches from the Pyrenees Mountains south to the Iberian plateau.

(The whole of Spain and Portugal is the Iberian Peninsula.)

Catalonia is to the east of Aragon, and Rioja, Navarra and Castilla y Leon are to its west. All other Spanish wine

regions.

The Ebro River, the largest and most important in Spain, flows eastward through Aragon. And defines the various Aragon wine areas in its valley.

The name Aragon comes from either a smaller river in the region with the same name, or from the Basque word “Aragoi” that means

“high valley.”

The climate of Aragon is moderate with the vineyard elevations determining how moderate. Recently, a Cava DO status was granted in Aragon. (Cava is the designation for Spanish sparkling wines, mostly from the Catalonia region.) There are several wine DOs in Aragon – Somontano, Cariñena, Calatayud, Campo de Borjia.

Gerberas Bianco is made from 100 percent Macabeo.

This variety is also known as Viura, Macabeu, Lardot and about a dozen lesser known more localized names.

Besides large plantings in northeastern Spain in the Rioja and Cava producing

areas, it is also grown in the Languedoc-Rousillon area of France. It is often used in blends, but as more modern winemaking techniques are adopted, like stainless steel and temperature controlled fermentations, it is making wonderful wines on its own.

Its wines tend to have a bone dryness, light to medium bodies, moderate acidity and not too high alcohol levels.

The flavors include honeydew melons, lime peels, lemon verbena, tarragon and hazelnuts.

Janis Robinson, an icon in wine tasting and wine writing, calls Macabeo the “Cinderella” grape. Because, in recent years, it has been “discovered” as capable of

making excellent wines.

Gerberas Macabeo follows Gerberas Garnacha and Gerberas Garnacha Rosé as a great sipping, food friendly everyday affordable wine.

The grapes for it are grown in alluvial soils in the foothills of the Moncayo mountain.

After harvesting and crush, the must is chilled for a short time with the skins.

Fermentation is long and slow, in stainless steel tanks, at controlled temperatures between 71 and 79 degrees Fahrenheit. The finished wine is delicate with fruity and floral notes. Ripe peaches. Lemons.

Lime zest. Stone fruits. Nuts.

White flowers.

All come together in a very

dry, light, but definitely textured body. The palate is clean and fresh and exhilarating.

Perfect as an aperitif, but it also pairs well with grilled fish, shellfish, sushi, baked chicken, salads, pasta with seafood white sauces or just olive oil and grated cheese, pizzas with anchovies and olive oil, fried foods, pesto, risotto, and lots of cheeses – Manchego, Monterey Jack, Mozzarella, Gouda, Triple Cremes. Pretty much summer foods.

And it’s easy to find with the yellow gerberas daisy on its label. It’s finally here. For $9.99. Enjoy.
