City of Beaufort settles suit brought by ACLU Case involved right to counsel in municipal courts
By Mike McCombs The American Civil Liberties Union, the City of Beaufort and the Town of Bluffton announced a settlement last week in an Oct. 2017 lawsuit accusing the municipalities of depriving lawyers to poor people facing incarceration if convicted in municipal court. The ACLU of South Carolina and Nelson Mullins Riley
and Scarborough LLP were involved in the settlement, as well. According to Beaufort City Manager Bill Prokop, the parties had been on the same page for close to a year, but it simply took this long to work out all of the details. Prokop said the city’s procedures won’t change from what it has been doing for the past year.
Losing a huge asset
“Public defenders will be handled by the county’s public defender office in a contract with Beaufort, Bluffton and Port Royal,” Prokop said. Hilton Head Island did away with its municipal court. Prokop said the parties had to be sure the details of the settlement were within state law and satisfied the state court administration, as well as the
public defenders. The settlement comes at little cost for the city, Prokop said. The change in cost is “within a couple percentage points,” Prokop said. The municipalities were responsible for $250,000 in ACLU court costs, but that will come from the state insurance reserve fund. According to the ACLU, in
addition to the settlement on public defenders, the municipalities will provide written notice and oral advisement of the right to counsel to every person charged with an offense that carries the possibility of a jail sentence. They will also refrain from conducting trials in absentia without counsel unless such defendants have willfully waived their rights.
“Whether you are rich or poor, the right to a lawyer is a pillar of our criminal legal system,” director of the ACLU’s Criminal Law Reform Project Ezekiel Edwards said in a release. “For far too long, municipal courts in South Carolina have run wealth-based systems by treating this con-

ormer Fire Chief Wendell Wilburn remembers Linda Edgerley not only as someone who was extremely capable and hard working but for one quality in particular. “She was always look- Linda ing out for her Edgerley extended family,” he said, referring to the City of Beaufort-Town of Port Royal Fire Department. “She made sure they had what they needed, when they needed it, and if she didn’t have it immediately, she would certainly fulfill that need.” Lovingly called “Mrs. E” or “mom” by firefighters and staff, Edgerley served as the department’s executive office manager for 27 years before retiring in 2009. Edgerley, 74, who had chronic lung disease, died at her home on Sept. 30. Wilburn, who hired Edgerley in 1982, said she was instrumental not only with the day-to-day needs of the fire house – from the paperwork all new hires filled out to everyday budgetary needs – but in building relationships with the community and the city as well.
The dedication in her was as strong as it was in many of our firefighters.” “She had some great relationships at city hall because she had to be there almost everyday to take paperwork over,” he said. “She was a huge asset.”

Area firefighters graduate from SC Fire Academy
Three northern Beaufort County recruits were among the 22 graduates of the South Carolina Fire Academy in September. Ronald L. Ball, Jr. (City of Beaufort/Town of Port Royal Fire Department), Tommy Buskirk (Lady's Island-St. Helena Fire District) and Jessica Tomasoski (City of Beaufort/ Town of Port Royal Fire Department) graduated Friday, Sept. 27 from the eight-week firefighter candidate school in Columbia. The graduation’s keynote speaker was Chief Bruce Kline of the Lady’s Island-St. Helena Fire District. The
firefighters underwent a 320hour training program of classroom and hands-on firefighting skills development. “This challenging eightweek program requires commitment, passion, and dedication,” Fire Academy Superintendent Dennis Ray said. “These recruits have successfully worked together as a team, performed extensive hands-on training with live fires, and passed intensive practical skills evaluations and written tests to meet the National Fire Protection Association standards.” The comprehensive training, offered quarterly at
the Fire Academy, includes emergency responder first aid training, hazardous materials operations training, auto extrication, flammable liquids and gas firefighting, rescue training, and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Firefighter I and Firefighter II levels. Ball earned the Pride of the Battalion award, given to the recruit who has demonstrated “Leadership, Integrity, Determination and Good Value.” This award recipient is chosen by the instructor staff who worked with the recruits during the eight-week program.

Penn Center receives grant to compile Civil Rights Movement oral history Penn Center has received a grant from the National Park Service in the amount of $50,000 to support an oral history project, which will collect the histories of 30 key Civil Rights Movement workers, who were with Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. at Penn Center between 1963 and 1967. Penn Center played a pivotal role in the Civil Rights Movement. After 86-years
serving the educational needs of the Gullah-Geechee people in the Sea Islands, Penn School transformed to become Penn Community Services, and took on the mantle of social justice, ushering in the Civil Rights Movement. During a time of mandated segregation, Penn served as one of only two sites in the South where multi-racial groups could hold meetings
and have safe sanctuary. Penn Center and the St. Helena Island community welcomed King and the Southern Christian Leadership Conferences (SCLC), along with other multi-racial groups, religious groups and organizations like the Peace Corps. Marion Burns, Penn Center’s Interim Executive Director said in a release: “Local and
regional civil rights and social justice workers strategized and planned the Civil Rights Movement on a grassroots and national level, right here on the sacred grounds of Penn Center. These are the histories and stories that Penn’s oral history project desires to capture, preserve and share nationally and internationally. We are profoundly grateful to the National Park Service for
their continued support.” The National Park Service announced $12.259 million in African American Civil Rights grants to fund 44 projects across 17 states that will preserve and highlight stories related to the African American struggle for equality in the 20th century. Penn Center’s project is one of the 44 projects awarded. “Through the work and
engagement of public and private partners, these grants will preserve a defining part of our nation’s diverse history,” National Park Service Deputy Director P. Daniel Smith said. “By working with underrepresented communities to preserve their historic places and stories, we will help tell a more complete narrative of the African American experience in the pursuit of civil rights.”

Burton Fire, Beaufort County School District receive award
On October 10, the Burton Fire District and Beaufort County School District received an award and spread the word to firefighters across the nation about their successful collaboration on the JACOB Kit program. The Burton Fire District and Beaufort County School District, for their partnership on the JACOB Kit program, received the Firehouse Magazine Thomas Carr Community Service Award at the annual national Firehouse Expo conference in Nashville, which was attended by firefighters from across the nation. During the weeklong conference, fire district and school district personnel also presented a class and manned an informational booth teaching other firefighter how to partner with the schools and start their own JACOB Kit program. “I wanted those at the conference to realize that if their child is injured during a school shooting, that the teacher becomes the first responder, and we need the training and resources to act,” said Angela Byrne, a reading interventionist at Broad River Elementary. “Having this kit empowers teachers in knowing that they can protect their babies, and not have to possibly watch a child bleed to death in front of them. They can now do something.” Burton Fire Captain Daniel Byrne told conference attendees about the importance of fire departments having a voice in the national discussion on school violence. “Right now, the focus is on pre-
venting and reacting to an event and planning for more resource officers and security,” Byrne said. “That’s an important part of the solution, but we also need solid plans for after the event, and treating the wounded. That’s where fire departments come in, that’s out area of expertise.” Firehouse Magazine Editor-in-Chief Peter Matthews, who has followed the JACOB Kit program since its debut at Broad River Elementary, stated that the school district and fire district partnering together and combining their professional expertise to create a program to save lives are the reasons they were selected as one of four other programs to receive the award. Matthews also cited the spread of the JACOB Kit program to other communities and fire departments across the country as another reason for the selection. The Thomas Carr Community Service Award is named after the former Charleston, South Carolina, Fire Chief, who assumed command of the department after the 2007 Super Sofa Store fire which killed nine Charleston firefighters. The award is presented to those who not only get involved in community service activities, but also to engage in activities that truly give back and elevate a community in a way that can change lives. Ann Carr, the wife of the late Chief Thomas Carr, was on hand to present the award. The JACOB Kit program involves placing small trauma kits in every
school classroom, along with providing annual teacher training on how to control critical bleeding. The program was named after Jacob Hall, a six-year-old Townville, S.C., student who was wounded in a 2016 shooting at his elementary school. Jacob died three days later as a result of massive blood loss. In 2017, Broad River Elementary School piloted the program, which is funded by local grants and donations, and was well received by teachers and staff. Since its implementation, with help from other local fire departments, the Jacob Kit program has grown to include both public and private schools across the county. This year, led by County Councilman Michael Covert, Beaufort County has also placed kits in all county buildings. Burton Fire Chief Harry Rountree stated that while he is proud the fire district has been given the award, he stressed that this is truly a community award. “We started the program, but fire departments throughout Beaufort County took the program into their schools as well, and it’s been the citizens of this county that have made it all possible through donations,” he said. “This really has been a community supported and driven program, and we thank all our neighboring fire departments and citizens for their efforts.” County fire official state there are still classrooms in the school district without the kits, and they are still seeking donations and sponsorships
Receiving the award, Burton Fire District Captain Daniel Byrne, Robert Daus Jr of Liberty Artworks, Firehouse Magazine Editor and Chief Peter Matthews, Beaufort County School District teacher Angela Byrne, and Ann Carr, wife of the late Thomas Carr.

SC Lottery filming commercial in Beaufort Governor's office recognizes Bat Week The South Carolina Education Lottery is paying a visit to Beaufort. The Lottery will be in the historic district on Monday, Oct. 21 filming a new series of commercials slated to air the first of next year. “I grew up in Beaufort, so I’m a little biased,” S.C. Education Lottery Director of Marketing Josh Whiteside said in a release. “We were searching for a location that showcases all that is great about

Chernoff-Newman, a marketing firm, and Mad Monkey, a video production company, both based in Columbia, are producing the ads. Two more supporting ads are being
filmed in the Greenville area. And while the South Carolina Education Lottery is keeping the storylines for its commercials under wraps for now, their debut in 2020 will mark the beginning of a yearlong, statewide, storytelling tour. “We’ll be back in Beaufort,” Whiteside said. “Hearing from South Carolinians, your neighbors, and your friends is a conversation we are looking to have and share.”

Ghost
DID YOU KNOW? • For the first time, three pregnant Northern long-eared bats were captured and released by SCDNR staff on the coast. • Bats provide an average annual pest suppression service of $115 million to South Carolina’s agricultural industry, or nearly $23 billion nationwide. • A single bat can consume 75 mosquito-sized insects in five minutes.

pal courts that we documented in our complaint,” ACLU of SC Legal Director Susan Dunn said in a release. “It is our hope that other cities across the state will take this opportunity to follow their lead and provide public defenders in their courts so that no one is subjected to unfair court pro-
ceedings simply because they are poor.” This settlement could have an impact across the state. According to the ACLU, in a majority of South Carolina’s more than 200 municipal courts, public defenders are unavailable. Several fail to provide any representation for poor
defendants. “The law is clear — if a city in South Carolina chooses to have a municipal court, either it must provide zealous advocates to poor people prosecuted in those courts or shut down its court,” Stuart Andrews, a partner at the law firm Nelson Mullins, said in a release.
Edgerley for about 10 years before she retired, remembers the level of commitment and devotion Edgerley had. “The dedication in her was as strong as it was in many of our firefighters,” he said. Bertholf said the department had some 33 firefighters when she retired, and she took care of all of them and
whatever the needs were at the firehouse. “If we needed shopping done or laundry soap, she would go and make those purchases,” he said. Edgerley would also show up at fires with coffee for the firefighters. “Then she would be back at the fire house when we
got back to make sure the reports were getting done,” he said. “It wasn’t odd to see her at the station at the odd hours that firefighters had to work.” Edgerley was laid to rest at Beaufort Memorial Gardens, on Oct. 4. She is survived by her husband, Donald “Don” Edgerley, also of Beaufort.

HEALTH BREAST CANCER AWARENESS
Beaufort grandmother doesn’t let breast cancer slow her down EDITOR’S NOTE Beaufort Memorial Hospital promotes a story about a breast cancer survivor each year to help promote awareness. One in eight women will develop breast cancer, but early detection can save your life. Have you or your loved ones had your By Marie McAden

of the three receptors known to fuel most breast cancer growth. Triple negative occurs in about 10 to 20 percent of diagnosed breast cancers, often in younger women, African Americans, Hispanics and those with a BRCA1 gene mutation. It can be difficult to treat because hormone therapy and the drugs that target the three common cancer receptors – estrogen, progesterone and the HER-2 gene – are ineffective. “When they told me I had cancer, I couldn’t believe it,” said Powell, who has worked at BMH for 20 years and now serves as supervisor of Environmental Services. “I was very upset. And then a week later my husband found out he had multiple myeloma. I went into a little bit of a depression.” To help her understand the complex treatment process involved in fighting the disease, Beaufort Memorial breast care navigator Chris Marino met with Powell as soon as she was diagnosed. She helped her set up appointments with the three board-certified BMH physicians who would be treating her cancer – med-

etween her full-time job at Beaufort Memorial Hospital (BMH) and babysitting her five grandkids, Willie Mae Powell had little time for much of anything else in her busy work week. Before she knew it, two years had passed since her last screening mammogram. But the 55-year-old Beaufort resident wasn’t worried. “Breast cancer doesn’t run in my family,” she said. What she didn’t realize was that most women who develop breast cancer do not have a family history. In fact, according to the American Cancer Society, only 15 percent of women with breast cancer have a relative who had the disease. Then one evening this spring, she felt a lump in her right breast. The disconcerting discovery was all the motivation she needed to make an appointment for a mammogram at Beaufort Memorial’s Breast Health Center. The X-ray revealed a suspicious lesion in her breast, which turned out to be a malignant tumor. Powell’s cancer was triple negative, a type of tumor that does not have any
ical oncologist Dr. Marcus Newberry, general surgeon Dr. Stephen Sisco and radiation oncologist Dr. Jonathan Briggs – and accompanied her on the office visits with the physicians. “Cancer is a scary word,” Marino said. “There are a lot of steps involved in the treatment of the disease. My job is to make those steps easier for the patient.” After meeting with Powell and evaluating her case, the cancer team developed an evidence-based treatment plan. “With triple negative breast cancer, you treat with chemotherapy pre-operatively to see the pathologic response it has on the tumor,” Newberry said. “More than 50 percent of cases will result in a pathologic complete response. If there’s residual disease, we can give the patient additional medication post-operatively to increase the chances of a longterm cure.” Powell’s treatment plan started with 16 rounds of chemo at the Beaufort Memorial Infusion Center. After the fourth round, she began to lose her hair. And it got worse from there. “I was very sick,” Powell

It helped me put my mind on something else.” Along with Marino’s advice and encouragement, Powell has relied on the support of her hospital co-workers and family. Her husband, Ricky, and her daughter, Celless, have kept her spirits up, motivating her to push through the worst times. “She’s very strong,” Marino said. “You pass her in the hallway and you have no idea she has cancer. She’s always upbeat and smiling.” Powell finished her chemo treatments in September and
the results have been encouraging. “We monitor for disease growth throughout the chemo process,” Newberry said. “The ultrasound midway through the treatments showed it had shrunk.” She won’t know if she had a pathologic complete response until she undergoes surgery, which will involve removing breast tissue as well as some lymph nodes. Following her surgery this month, she’ll begin radiation therapy. “Radiation reduces the risk of recurrence in the chest and lymph nodes,” said Briggs, a
board-certified radiation oncologist at the hospital’s Keyserling Cancer Center. “Typically, it’s a six-week course of treatment with 15 minutes of radiation five days a week.” Now months into her cancer journey, Powell is looking forward to getting back to doing the things she loves – fishing and crabbing with her husband and spending time with her grandkids. “I appreciate everything that’s been done for me,” Powell said. “The staff at the Breast Health Center, and the doctors – everyone has been wonderful.”

Discover Jesus
The Time Is Fulfilled The Kingdom of God
Jesus was always announcing the Kingdom of God. As he traveled from town to town, he would proclaim, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand!” (Mark 1:15) Many of his teachings and parables are about this kingdom. He seemed to take for granted that his listeners were expecting such a kingdom. In order to understand what Jesus means, we need to understand a prophecy from the Book of Daniel that was very famous among Jewish people in the first century. In the Book of Daniel, the king had an alarming dream. He saw a vision of a large statue composed of gold, silver, bronze, and iron. A rock is cut out of a mountain, but not with human hands, and the rock strikes the statue and destroys it. But “the rock that struck the statue became a huge mountain and filled the whole earth.” (Daniel 2:35) Out of all the royal advisors, only Daniel could tell the king the content of the dream and its meaning. Daniel foretold the coming of a kingdom established by God. He explained to the king that the golden head of the statue symbolizes his Babylonian Empire, while its other parts signify the three kingdoms that will follow it. The rock symbolizes “the God of heaven which will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever.” (v. 44)
In this time of anticipation, Jesus proclaims the kingdom of God. When Jesus announces that “the time is fulfilled,” his listeners understand that he is referring to the time prophesized by Daniel. When Jesus declares that “the kingdom of God is at hand,” his audience realizes that he is announcing the beginning of the kingdom foretold by Daniel, the kingdom that would fill the entire earth and endure forever. The kingdom of God will be more than a worldly kingdom. As Jesus describes this kingdom, one begins to grasp that it will be much greater than the worldly kingdom his listeners imagined. Instead of victories over human enemies, this kingdom would offer victory over sin and death. Instead of earthly wealth, this kingdom would offer heavenly treasure that can never be lost. Like the rock in the king’s dream, this everlasting kingdom would not be created by any human hand, but by God himself.
By the first century, the time foretold by Daniel had come. The Jewish people recognized that the first three empires had come and gone: first the Babylonian, then the Persian, then the Greek. They were now living in the time of the fourth kingdom described by Daniel, the Roman Empire! Many expected God to send a Messiah during their lifetimes, a leader who would liberate them from Roman rule and restore Israel to political and military glory.

Eagles erupt in 2nd half, give Lybrand 1st win By Justin Jarrett The desperation became evident when Beaufort High School faced a fourth-and-2 at its own 28-yard line and elected to go for it. Oh, yeah, it was the second quarter of a five-point game. And they were stuffed. It really felt like that could have been the point when the Eagles’ season started swirling the drain. But the defense delivered a big play on the next snap, forcing a fumble that allowed Beaufort to get into the locker room without further damage. When they emerged, they
were a different team. Featuring an effective option attack and a stingy defense, Beaufort rallied for a 35-24 victory over visiting Bluffton on Friday, giving Bryce Lybrand his first victory as a head coach. The night couldn’t have started much worse for the Eagles, who mishandled a pooch kick on the opening kickoff to set up Kylan Simmons’ 12-yard touchdown run, then muffed a punt and two more kickoff returns in the first half. The Bobcats weren’t able to cash in enough, though, settling for Evan Hayes field goals from
40 and 28 yards and a 12-7 halftime lead. Beaufort’s offense came to life in the second half, as quarterback Daniel Phares — making his first start in place of Tyler Haley (shoulder) — spearheaded the Eagles’ option attack along with running backs James Dagin and Amariee Morris. Morris’ 3-yard run capped a 75-yard drive on Beaufort’s first series of the second half, and the Eagles never trailed again. Phares delivered several daggers in the fourth quarter to put the Bobcats away, hitting Eddie Warren

OBITUARY DORIS ‘DOT’ TAYLOR, 89
Doris Jean Russom Gray Taylor, 89, of Beaufort, died at 2:30 PM, Monday, October 14, 2019 at Morningside of Beaufort. She was born October 31, 1929 in Selmer, TN, the daughter of a railroad gandy dancer turned small town farmer and persevering and strong natured mother. Dot married JB Taylor on September 24, 1956 and widowed on November 17, 2018. She was also preceded in death by her first husband, Charles Gray, father, Ives Russom, mother, Lessie Howell, second mother, Aline Williams, brother, Billy Preslar, son, Douglas Taylor, and grandson, Travis Odom. In hospice care for three months prior to her death, Dot died peacefully with her children beside her. She leaves her son, Tracy Jeffrey Taylor, with wife, Brenda Lee Taylor, two daughters, Linda Ann Barnard, with husband Charles Barnard, and Delores Jean Taylor, and her two sisters Violet Russom Joyner and Lela Joyner. She has 7 grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren, and 8 great great grandchildren. Dot was born into a farming family where she learned to survive on animals for subsistence and harvesting the crops for clothes and food. She picked cotton from a young age and would ride to the gin in a wagon with her daddy to
get a nickel bag of popcorn. She came from a loving home where her parents openly displayed affection. Married and widowed at a young age with a small child, Dot worked at a shoe factory when women were just starting to enter the workforce and even saved up enough to buy an genuine Model T car. After meeting JB, a young widowed serviceman with a young daughter, she became a mother of two, and moved to California and then to Charleston, where she bore and raised a son that had an untimely passing. Dot eventually called Beaufort home for over 60 years where she would bear a fourth child and she would diligently take care of there home and family while raising teenage daughters and a young active son. Dot and JB would later purchase the lot they were renting and began a family rental business to begin a life with her husband getting out of the
Navy and working alongside each other. She would work in the properties at night getting them ready for rent while still maintaining a razor sharp focus for all of her loved ones. She made her children know the love she grew up with and admirably loved her husband and family with a passion. Dot enjoyed crochet, country music and cooking. Most of all, she enjoyed the happiness and laughter of her family and friends. Dot is the glue of the family and holds everyone together with support and encouragement. Long known for her gentle and kind spirit, ability to empathize with immense compassion, strong faith in God and inspirational conversations, Dot will be dearly missed by all that were blessed to have known her. In lieu of flowers the family request that memorials be made to Agape Hospice Beaufort, 188 Paris Ave, Port Royal SC 29935. Copeland Funeral Home is handling all arrangements and a funeral service will be held at Grays Hill Baptist Church, 2749 Trask Pkwy, Beaufort, SC 29906 on Monday, October 21, 2019 with service at 10:30 am with an eulogy by Pastor Jim Baker and burial at Beaufort National Cemetary, 1601 Boundary St, Beaufort, SC 29902 at 12 pm.

Drama, passion highlight Massenet’s Manon
By Alan Schuster Whether it’s Jules Massenet’s Manon or Giacomo Puccini’s Manon Lescaut, both takes on the French novel by Abbe Prevost have achieved distinctive success in the opera world. Massenet’s premiered in 1884 and Puccini’s in 1893. Since then, the Met has staged Massenet’s work 270 times, and Puccini’s 230 times. This season, the Met will be adding even more to both lists. Massenet’s work was written in five acts, as described below, but will be effectively combined into three with two intermissions on Saturday. Milton Cross, the voice of the Met’s radio broadcasts for more than 40 years, portrayed Massenet’s Manon as “The story of a charming young French girl who is too

anxious for a life of pleasure, too young to know the ways of the world and how to avoid its pitfalls – but still can’t find it in our hearts to condemn her, but feel only pity and sym-
pathy as her career winds its course to a degrading and unhappy close.” Coloratura soprano Lisette Oropesa is the enchanting heroine, with Michael Faviano is the young man after her heart. Maurizio Benini conducts. Act I Manon, a beautiful young woman, arrives at an inn in Amiens to meet her cousin Lescaut, who will take her to a convent according to the wishes of her father, who wants to amend her worldly and extrovert character. Manon does not share her father's wishes, and after being courted by an older man, Guillot, she falls in love at first sight with Des Grieux, a young nobleman passing through town, and they elope and escape to Paris in Guillot’s coach.
Act II The young couple live in a modest home in Paris. Des Grieux writes to his father asking for his consent to marry Manon. But her cousin and his wealthy friend de Brétigny arrive, saying that Des Grieux’s father is going to have him arrested. Manon believes this and succumbs to the proposals of de Brétigny, who offers her a life of luxury in Paris. Act III Manon is now de Brétigny’s lover and enjoying his wealth. But when she learns from Des Grieux’s father that his son has entered a seminary, she rushes off to find him. At first, he rejects her but can’t overcome her seductive ways. He yields to her and leaves the seminary to be with her.
Act IV At a gambling salon, Manon arrives with Des Grieux and convinces him to gamble. He defeats Guillot continuously but is accused of cheating. Guillot leaves, but returns with police, who arrest Des Grieux and Manon, on the grounds that she is a prostitute. Act V Manon is condemned to be deported. Des Grieux and Lescaut plot to save her, but realize there is no hope against so many soldiers. The lovers reunite one last time before she dies in his arms. From the Met “Manon features one of the truly unforgettable, irresistible, and archetypal female characters in opera. While the story is firmly set in class and gender issues of the past, the character of
Manon herself is timelessly familiar. Massenet’s score captures the drama of the heroine with deft craftsmanship, expressive vocal and orchestral writing, and an almost unparalleled level of sensuality. There is no shortage of passion, but much of the most dramatically (and erotically) charged passages rely on the simplest effects. The quivering of the violins, for example, when the lovers finally touch in the St. Sulpice scene is a brief musical detail, but it is as voluptuous as anything in opera. Likewise, many of the solos make an impact with sublety and delicate colors: The refinement of both Manon’s ‘Adieu, notre petite table’ and des Grieux’s ‘En ferment les yeux’ in Act II create a sense of breathless wonder and suspended time.”

hey’re a staple of the incumbent politician’s toolkit: the countless recognitions, resolutions, proclamations, ribbon-cuttings and photo-ops which are more ceremonial than anything else, but which nonetheless pay dividends for elected officials. Certainly, these ceremonial activities can be a good way to recognize someone’s good deeds or bring attention to a worthy cause. But as politicians are well-aware, they’re also a way to win favor with influential constituents or score points with campaign donors. Getting a picture with them in the local paper never hurts, either. Of course, it could be argued that such recognitions consume time and energy that might better be spent on important public business. One such practice in particular has proven to be a potential source of heartburn: the naming of roads, interchanges, and bridges after living people. I’d offer that it’s time to stop naming things after individuals who are still among us – including public officials. The most obvious pitfall of naming things after current or former public officials who are still living is that they have yet to have their legacies fully cemented … which is to say, they still have the potential to bring controversy or disgrace upon themselves. Off the top of my head, I can think of three instances in recent years of state landmarks being renamed after

their namesakes ran afoul of the law – such as a major expressway in the Upstate that was named for a former state comptroller and renamed following his conviction on securities fraud charges. But then, a public official’s crimes aren’t always enough to overturn a road-naming honor. For example, in the Lowcountry a connector road leading to the Port of Charleston still bears the name of a former state Senator who in 2015 pleaded guilty to violating campaign ethics laws … which means many folks when heading to and from our state’s major port travel on an expressway named for an admitted lawbreaker. Names on landmarks aren’t just superficial; they can cut to a community’s identity. In that regard, it’s inconceivable that a roadway honoring a lawbreaker does any good for an area’s self-image. There are other pitfalls as well. There’s the cost, both in terms of the time and energy spent on naming things, and in terms of the cost of signage. Speaking of which, it's hard to believe those little green signs are really the best way to honor someone anyway.

As we sat there chatting one of the questions that came up was the usual one “How’d you get here?” Please notice the Southern contraction which has slid into my vernacular.

Occasionally, when I ask the question, I hear “I was born here.” But for the most part, I

t is Saturday, and I’m on my small, weathered, often repaired deck in Port Royal. I’ve got the Wall Street Journal, Weekend Edition, and a book called ‘The Years That Matter Most.’ The Journal gives us a lengthy review of ‘The Meritocracy Trap’ by Daniel Markovits (Penguin Press, 418 pages, $30). It’s lengthy because Professor Dan is taking on Yale, Harvard, Duke and other elite colleges, arguing that their golden ticket is a hollow victory for those who win the “brutal education tournament.” He says that once a student is admitted to Princeton, Stanford or MIT they gravitate, lemming-like to big salaried lives in investment banking, financial consulting, specialized medicine or law—where starting salaries are now $200,000. “Meritocrats work hard in school, even harder on the
