Rodent droppings in soda syrup. Beaufort Co.'s worst October food inspections

The South Carolina Department of Agriculture (SCDA) has released its October food inspection reports. Two restaurants, two schools and a Parker’s scored less than A. Inspectors from the SCDA inspect restaurants and other food-serving establishments across the state on a routine basis. The frequency of inspections is based on the establishment’s risk-factor for food-borne illness and its compliance history, according to the SCDA. Grades are awarded on a 100-point scale, with A grades above 87 points, B 78 points, and C less than 78 points. Repeat infractions can result in lower letter grades no matter the points. Here’s why these Beaufort County establishments received their grades, and if their violations were corrected: E-Tang Asian Bistro Inspectors awarded E-Tang Asian Bistro, located at 811 William Hilton Parkway on Hilton Head Island, a C grade with 75 points in its Oct.15 routine inspection. Inspectors observed: An employee drinking from an open cup and eating from a bowl on the hot line Employees failing to wash hands between cleaning and food preparation, an employee washing hands without soap, and an employee washing hands in a food preparation sink “Fresh rodent droppings in a pool of Lemon-Lime Soda Syrup,” as well as rodent droppings

What to know about the NARCAN kiosks around Beaufort County

The Alcohol and Drug Department of Beaufort County launched naloxone kiosks in February 2025 throughout the county as an effort to combat fatal overdoses. The Nexus Care kiosks and naloxone are paid for by the South Carolina Opioid Recovery Fund Board, which is funded by a national lawsuit settlement with pharmaceutical manufacturers and pharmacies. Each kiosk is stocked with up to 65 free boxes of naloxone, or NARCAN, a medication that can reverse opioid overdoses. The kiosks are located at several libraries around the county in partnership with the Beaufort County Library System. Residents can find the kiosks at: Beaufort Library, 311 Scott St. Bluffton Branch Library, 120 Palmetto Way. Hilton Head Branch Library, 11 Beach City Road. Lobeco Branch Library, 1862 Trask Parkway. Port Royal Branch Library, 1408 Paris Ave. St. Helena Branch Library, 6355 Jonathan Francis Sr. Road. There are three county government locations where the kiosks can be found, too: Human Service Building, 1905 Duke St. Myrtle Park Government Building, 4819 Bluffton Parkway. Beaufort County Detention Center, 106 Ribaut Road. According to Nexus Care director Rebecca Whitt Burgess, 1,228 boxes — 2,456 individual doses — of naloxone have been distributed in Beaufort County directly through the kiosks

Beaufort run to close swing bridge Saturday. How to navigate the traffic and race

S.C. Department of Transportation (SCDOT) wants drivers to be aware of the closure of the Richard V. Woods Memorial Bridge on Business U.S. 21 for nearly three hours. The 2026 Swing Bridge Run 5K takes place Saturday and 5k runners will go back and forth across Beaufort’s historic and iconic swing bridge. Closure of the Woods Bridge, locally called the swing bridge, will start at 7:15 a.m. and last until 9:45 a.m. It will affect all marine navigation including tugs and tugs with tows, according to a press release issued by SCDOT. Cars and trucks will also not be allowed to travel across the metal-riveted truss bridge that connects historic downtown Beaufort to Lady’s Island. If drivers can’t wait out the race, the most convenient way to get across the Beaufort River is to stay on Lady’s Island Drive (U.S. 21 north) driving over the J.E. McTeer Bridge that connects with Ribaut Road into the Town of Port Royal near Beaufort.
