Thank you, Ms. Thwaite
“Knick-knack paddy whack give a dog a bone” by M.Z. Thwaite was the epitome of discretion, and I commend the author. At last, someone to rebut articles which malign totally innocent people solely because they’re friends of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. A friend of the maligned family who uses their money to make life better and more enjoyable for so many less fortunate people, Ms. Thwaite is to be lauded for sharing all these facts about the Crow family with us. And she did it with grace, never taking a jab at those who regularly throw out deceptive articles to demean those who possess a conservative ideology. Thank you, Ms. Thwaite!

To Chairman Passiment and County Council Members
The continued discussion of the Pine Island development lingers on as a topic of public rhetoric. I know that I am in agreement with an impressive amount of your constituents and those outside looking in at this remarkable occurrence.
Beaufort County stands as a pioneer in courage and visionary foresight for what has occurred with the CPO zoning rules and the long-term policies of the Comprehensive Plan. Rest assured that in the course of chronicled history, you will be recorded as stewards for the preservation of St. Helena’s living Gullah/Geechee community.
This cannot be emphasized enough.
Thank you – each of you that serve on the Beaufort County Council – for justly standing with this inspiring community and affirming the CPO zoning rules and Comprehensive Plan.

Part 2 of the old Woods Bridge traffic hazard
Friday, on my way from Lady’s Island to town, the bridge was open and traffic stopped for 10 minutes to allow a small boat with (oversized) antennas pass through. There were about 70 cars at the impasse, which was a total of (more than) 10 hours wasted if there were only one person in each vehicle.
So while replacing the bridge with a new one that allows car and boat traffic simultaneously is the easiest and quickest option for efficient evacuations and daily use, it’s been ignored for decades. Why?
Gee whiz, but it is historic and makes a great picture. So you folks on Fripp, Hunting, Harbor, and St. Helena islands, …
