When I was a kid, I was surrounded by sports. My father was a huge sports fanatic, and if you lived in my house, you had no choice but to learn to love it. Loving sports was never a hard thing for me to do. My father and I were very close, so what he liked, I liked. It was inevitable. My dad was one of the greatest men I have ever known. He took his love of sports and turned it into a way to help others. I was always amazed at him and the way he would talk to and train the young boys and girls in our community. Dad was a big baseball fan. He played for many years. In fact, he was being drafted by a Major League team to play with the pros when he was in a serious accident that shattered one of his legs. His dream of playing in the majors was crushed, along with his leg, Julie Hales, PUBLISHER but his love for the game was never lost. Instead of letting the injury destroy him, he took his knowledge and abilities and put them to good use. He started coaching and mentoring young baseball players and encouraging them to pursue their dreams. With three daughters, and no boys in the family, my mother asked him one day to consider coaching softball so he could still help kids, and spend time with his three girls. Believe it or not, she only had to ask once. My dad started coaching my two sisters and myself. We grew to love the game and we grew to love and respect him even more. I will never forget the countless hours he would spend with 15-20 little girls, at one time, ranging from eight to ten years of age. The man had the patience of Jobe. That time he spent meant so much to us. I had no idea at the time the impact he had on so many lives. I knew he loved the girls he coached, and I knew he bent over backwards to make sure they had a ride to the game....water in the dugout....snacks after the game.... he would do without to make sure “his girls,” all 15 of them, had what they needed or wanted. My father has passed now, and I miss him terribly. So many of the young girls he coached showed up for his memorial, now grown with children of their own. I listened to numerous stories of things my Dad had done for them when we were kids. Most of the stories I had never heard. Dad was a quiet man and boasting about anything was not his character. So, I never doubted any of the stories that were told, I knew they were all true. And, it just gave me another reason to be proud to be his daughter. My dad taught me many things, but his way of giving back to those kids was something that always stuck with me. Giving back is one the most important things we can do in our lifetime, and I thank my father for instilling that great quality in me. Our cover story is about a man who does the same thing in the Beaufort community -gives back, using sports as way to encourage and enrich the lives of our youth. Read this great story about Larry Scheper...I am sure you will find him to be an inspiration just as I have. B EAUFORT, P ORT R OYAL A ND T HE S EA I SLANDS

Larry Scheper

“SERVE”ing the Beaufort Community

story by mary ellen thompson photography by paul nurnberg

tennis player since his teens, Larry Scheper is no stranger to print media; stacks of newspaper articles and magazine stories chronicle his journey and many successes. In all those articles, an abundance of adjectives have been used to describe him, and there are many that suit him and do him justice, but dedicated would be at the top of the descriptors. Larry teaches tennis to anyone who wants to learn; the young, the old, the handicapped, the non-athletic, and he does it with grace and finesse. You can find him teaching on the city courts near where he grew up, at the Penn Center, or at Beaufort Academy. His students include a man in a wheelchair, Larry explains, “It’s not easy for him to maneuver the chair and play at the same time; I tried sitting in the chair to see what he was experiencing. He is very encouraging to both older and younger players who see him as something of a role model.” Another student has autism, one is legally blind with only twenty percent of his vision intact, one is eighty-four, and Larry starts teaching children as young as age two. For someone who grew up during a time of limited social acceptance, Larry Scheper welcomes everyone into his world. One of his students, Kris Peterson, says, “I’ve participated in clinics with young children, teenagers and other adults, many of whom are ‘transplants’ from other places. Coach Larry is skilled at including everyone in challenging drills and practice, no matter what their ability or level might be. One of my favorite clinic partners is a disabled veteran who plays using a donated wheelchair from the ATA (American Tennis Association). He’s an inspiration. He hits and moves better than I do, and is preparing with Larry’s guidance to compete in Hilton Head. ” Baseball was Larry’s first sport but when he was fourteen he transitioned into tennis where, he says, “We were more accepted back then. Tennis gave me a great opportunity to travel and meet people. There was a group of us who played tennis in Savannah. On Friday night someone would pick us up and take us there to play; we had to bring just $5, we stayed in really nice places and played teams from Atlanta,

Augusta, Raleigh-Durham, Charlotte and Jacksonville; they came to us and we went to them.” The city courts were close enough to his house that Larry’s mother could watch him play from the kitchen window. “One day I came into the house after a match where I didn’t play well and she said to me, ‘Don’t tell me you expect to win all the time?’ She taught me that to be a good winner, you’ve got to be an excellent loser. I was playing in my sixteenth tournament before she came out of the house to watch me play, and she only said, ‘It’s hot out here’ and went back inside to watch from the window. I think she was worried that she might make me nervous. Another time when I was playing in my first Junior Water Festival sanctioned tournament, I was in the finals and the match was on Sunday morning. The rule was that I couldn’t play on Sundays because I had to got to church; I was avidly involved in church, both in the choir and Bible school. So I said to her, ‘But I’m in the finals!’ and that Sunday I got to play. “I was known for tennis in the neighborhood, but more for manners and respect; they will take you a long way in life. You may not be good at what you do, but you can always be courteous.” Larry got a scholarship to Grambling State University in Louisiana where he turned pro in his junior year and competed with players such as Andre Agassi and Pete Sampras. His studies led him into his profession of teaching EMH (educable mentally handicapped) students in Columbia, SC. While there, he won his first Pro-Am tournament in 2000. For twenty years, until the last one in 2006, Larry came home to Beaufort to play in the Water Festival tennis tournament. Every year he won. He misses that tournament, and would like to reinstate it for the community. Many competitions and wins later, Larry came back to Beaufort in 2009. During the school year, he coaches at Beaufort Academy, and has clinics and lessons on the city courts. During the summer on the city courts, on weekdays he has a clinic for adults from 8 to 9 a.m., tennis camp from 9 to 12, and teaches adults and advanced kids from 6 to 7

p.m. Every Saturday from 12 to 1:30, he offers free coaching for the community, a fitness walk, and sometimes afterwards they have a cookout. Not only do people from the community play at the city courts, Larry coaches high school players that come here from in, and out of, state to train. And he gives private lessons year round. Also during the summer, you can find Larry at Penn Center. “I go to Penn every Monday through Friday from 9 to 12 for summer camp, and free clinics on Saturdays. I’d like to find another time that the community can play. They never renovated the court so I have to take a portable net with me; I’d like to have a real net. I’m going to get some paint and paint the lines. I collect racquets from people and lend them to the kids, and I supply the balls. There are about 25 kids in the camp and 40 people on Saturdays; I want to give them the opportunity I had when I was their age.” The Penn Center holds some special memories for Larry. In 1983, he met Arthur Ashe at Penn and they had a long conversation during which Ashe gave Larry the following advice, “Young man, what are you going to do after tennis? Son, never forget the kids.” Clearly Larry has heeded Ashe’s advice. Speaking of children, one of Larry’s favorite upcoming stars is his daughter Jayda. At fourteen, she has an ATA national ranking of twenty in the fourteen and under age group. She played in her first tournament when she was six, but Larry put a racquet in her hand while she was still in a walker. An accomplished young woman, Jayda also plays volleyball, baseball, and is first chair violin. “She wants to go to college and be a lawyer, tennis can get her that scholarship,” Larry explains. In addition to coaching

her, they also play mixed doubles together. As he considers his extensive collection of trophies he muses, “Maybe Jayda will want them some day; maybe she’ll have her own collection,” and he laughs and says, “but maybe she will get checks instead!” In addition to all the coaching, in order to keep in shape Larry runs every night, does 45 minutes of exercise daily, and practices. Despite the fact that he is fifty-two, he is still ranked number one nationally in the 45 singles and doubles competitions and number two in the men’s open doubles, and plays in a pro league on Hilton Head Island. When not working, or working out, Larry enjoys tending to the yard, reading the daily newspaper and tennis magazines, reads historical fiction when he has the time and enjoys spending time with his daughter. “I like taking her all the places she likes to go.” Shopping? “Yes! And to an annual ATA tournament in Fort Lauderdale.” Larry is also a Georgetown University basketball fan. What are some of the favorite places he’s played tennis? “At the Arthur Ashe Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, NY when I was coaching the National Championships of the United States Youth Games. And the Germantown Cricket Club near Philadelphia; we played on grass and had to wear all white - it felt like playing at Wimbledon. I like to wear white, it’s sort of my signature.” And what about Wimbledon, would he like to play there one day? “It is my dream as a coach to take a player there and sit in the box watching in person, instead of on the couch watching it on television. Maybe I can take my daughter. I do it all for Jayda, and the community. I’ve done what I had to do for myself, now it’s time to give back.” www.BeaufortLifestyle.com | August/September 2016

The Streetwalkers of Dragon Boat Beaufort story by mary ellen thompson photography by susan deloach

14 August/September 2016 | Beaufort Lifestyle

hen Kathy Haas and Angie Calhoun met on the DragonBoat Beaufort (DBB) team four years ago, they never dreamed they would pair up together as streetwalkers! Angie, the sedate widow who spent much of her life in Beaufort, and Kathy, who moved here from Huntington, Long Island to play golf, might have seemed an unlikely combination to be dressing up in hot pink and strutting their stuff down Bay Street. Yet, that’s where you can find them. That combination of the Southern drawl and the New York accent works wonders in raising money for DBB. They have been rewarded for their efforts with cash, donations, gift certificates, and say they have purchased enough new clothes, jewelry, and calories as a result. Kathy: “On a fluke in 2015, we decided to try walking down the street, store to store, restaurant to restaurant, talking to business owners about DragonBoat Beaufort. We bought and ate our way through town.” Angie: “We were amazed at how many people didn’t know about DBB and our outreach program. If you live, work, or are treated (for cancer) in Beaufort County, you are eligible. The outreach program takes up where insurance leaves off. We don’t pay medical bills but we help with all sorts of other things like outpatient care not covered by insurance, transportation to treatments, and special needs such as gas cards, and help with things like electric bills, rent, food. We are the only dragon boat team that has an outreach program.” In case you are one of those who doesn’t know, DragonBoat found its way to Beaufort not by water, but by the film, Awaken the Dragon, a documentary about the DragonBoat team in Charleston screened at the 2012 Beaufort International Film Festival. Mary Ann Thomas and Clare Taylor sat in the audience and, practically by the time they reached the lobby, the team was born. Having been an integral part of Water Festival for the past three years, this year DBB will host its own race day on September 2 & 3, over Labor Day weekend. Kathy and Angie are busy drumming up funds, teams, support and just about anything anyone wants to give. Mostly, they want teams; the more people who participate, the more money is raised to give back to the cancer community. Angie and Kathy are both very quick to point out that even though they wear pink, this is not only about breast cancer, it is for all cancer patients, survivors, friends of people with cancer, friends of friends of people with cancer. In other words, everyone. It’s just not possible to believe that there is a single person whose life has not been impacted by cancer. Therefore, we should all participate in some way, however big or small. Angie was raised in Beaufort. She taught elementary school in SC and then English and reading at the Technical College of the Lowcountry. Angie is a cancer survivor; she will celebrate twenty cancer free years this summer. DBB was brought to her attention when, “I was delivering meals for Mobil Meals and a client told me about DBB, so I went out there and I just loved it! I’ve met people I never would have known otherwise. It takes time and it wasn’t that easy at first. I love the camaraderie and the competition. I used to be a tennis player so I’m competitive. And I love being on the water.” Angie has two sons, Trevor of Hendersonville NC, and Brandon of Greenville SC. Kathy hails from the north shore of Long Island. She and her husband, Dick, owned property at Rose Hill in Bluffton where they originally came to play golf. “Fifteen years ago, however, we moved to Sun City and a whole group of people either came with us or followed. I had a friend who worked at USCB, she saw www.BeaufortLifestyle.com | August/September 2016

Awaken the Dragon and told me about it. I was in treatment at the time; I came to Beaufort by myself on a Saturday morning and I loved it! I had been a training director for Verizon and commuted to Manhattan for hours each day so driving to Beaufort three times a week is easy.” Kathy and Dick have two children and four grandchildren in Connecticut and on Long Island. How do they prepare for their dragon boat training? They both say, “We prepare to get wet!” Angie works out at the gym and Kathy walks and plays golf. Kathy says, “It’s what keeps us in good shape. Life starts again every day when you’ve had an illness.” Angie likes to garden, she loves her flowers and has a big yard which she still maintains herself. She reads mysteries and historical fiction and hits the gym three times a week. She also volunteers delivering meals for Mobil Meals, serves on several organizations in the Parish Church of St. Helena, and is on the board of DBB. Kathy is also on the board of DBB, plays as much golf as she can, loves to cook and entertain and likes to read mysteries. “When I finished chemo and radiation I was as bald as a cue ball. The only effect I have left from the chemo is chemobrain. It’s a real thing. I can read magazines and articles and things on the computer, but reading books, or anything of that length, requires a concentration I sometimes find difficult.” What has the experience of DBB given each of them? Angie says, “A feeling of well being. My grandchildren are proud of me.” Kathy responds, “I like being part of an organization that is doing something for others while you’re having fun. I like being on a team. It’s great, being the age we are, and being able to be on a competitive team. I just wish it had been around longer so I had more time to do it; I love the sport and the competition.” On a less serious note, they admit that both of them like to shop. And they each have a favorite peanut butter sandwich:

16 August/September 2016 | www.BeaufortLifestyle.com

Angie likes Vidalia onion and peanut butter while Kathy prefers her peanut butter with bacon and tomato. Kathy tells a story, “One day we were going to Bluffton to street walk and we stopped in at the clubhouse at Sun City to pick up something. Of course we were wearing our signature hot pink t-shirts, and a man said to us ‘Those shirts are a lot better that the shirts we wear to play golf.’ He’s right, they can see us coming!” Dragon boating is a sport and cause that circles the globe. Angie explains that when DBB paddles competitively, they put people’s names on their arms as a memorial. Kathy tells about a time when they did a memorial service from the boat, the deceased member’s family wanted to go out on the boat with the team and scatter flowers in the river in her memory. That is much like race day which includes the Carnation Ceremony where everyone can toss a carnation into the river as a tribute to those who have battled cancer. This is a sport that pierces the hearts of those who both compete and support because of it’s relationship to cancer. Team members sometimes lose the fight, as do family members and friends. Because of the commonality of their situation, bonds are formed quickly between team members. Unlike a regular sports team whose goal is to win the game, this is about winning the fight as well as the race. This is a race against time and the future. So, if you can, form a team, get on a team, donate some money or time to the effort. Stop Kathy and Angie while they are street walking and sporting hot pink t-shirts and tell them you will help. Tell them you’re on their team. At the very least come out to the Waterfront Park on September 2 and 3 to cheer on our team and support the race. Everyone has a dog in the fight against cancer.

GOING THE DISTANCE WITH

Denice Davis

story by cindy reid photography by susan deloach

enice Davis is truly an inspiration. Not only is she the Wellness Director at the YMCA and the mother of three sons, Denice has run ten prestigious marathons, including four Boston Marathons and three New York City Marathons. Even more impressive is the fact that her marathon career came after taking up competitive running while in her thirties. Always Athletic Originally from New Jersey, Denice says, “I was an athletic kid. I loved skiing and was a competitive downhill skier. I was also a cheerleader and did a lot of town recreation stuff. But I wasn’t really a tomboy because I enjoyed dresses and makeup!” She continues, “When I was 22 years old, I moved to Boulder Colorado, where I did a lot of recreational skiing. After that I moved to Martha’s Vineyard where I lived for eleven years. That’s where I started running.” While in Martha’s Vineyard she says “I picked up running and jogging, although they were always part of my exercise program, and I started personal training, but none of it was competitive.” After eleven years in Martha’s Vineyard, Denice made the move to Beaufort. She says, “I had visited the area previously and fell in love with it. I needed to be by the water and within two months we were here.” Denice and her children settled in on Lady’s Island, and she started working at the YMCA as an instructor and personal trainer, eventually filling the position of Wellness Director. First Marathon When asked about what motivated her to become a marathon runner in her thirties, Denice says, “I started competitive training after the birth of my third son. My friends from the YMCA – they lit the fire again! I did a couple of smaller races and did well, and then I did a half marathon in Columbia, SC and I placed third in my age group. Once I did that, that was it!” For the non runners, a half marathon is 13.1 miles and a full marathon is 26.2 miles. She continues, “In 2011, I had a friend who

challenged me to sign up for the Marine Corps Marathon which is known as the ‘People’s Marathon’ and is held in Washington, DC. I said I didn’t know if I could do it, and my friend, who was by then deployed, said ‘ if I am training in Afghanistan, you can train in Beaufort!’ I am always one for a challenge so I started training. “ She continues, “We went with our families to Washington, DC. The ‘People’s Marathon’ is one of the top ten marathons and the environment is extremely patriotic. I was running my first marathon with a Marine, at a big national race, so it was totally ‘go big or go home’!” Denice competed in the ‘People’s Marathon’ two years in a row, and did so well she qualified for the Boston Marathon in 2013. As she says, “Only ten percent of marathon runners worldwide who apply for the Boston Marathon are accepted, so it is a big deal to be accepted.” Boston Marathon At her first Boston Marathon in 2013, Denice joined thousands of other runners competing in the prestigious event. She says, “They had 24,000 runners, which is the average size. The Boston Marathon is very exciting, and I did really well, better than the two marathons I had previously run. I ran my ‘personal best’ marathon time, which was 3 hours, 27 minutes.” That was the good part. She pauses before continuing. “I had finished the race and was a block away from the finish line . I had friends waiting on Boylston Street and family visiting at Martha’s Vineyard. I made a last minute decision to leave downtown Boston for Martha’s Vineyard, so I hopped in a cab.” She says, “I had just shut the cab door when everything shook. It was the distinct sensation of an explosion. I went from this incredible endorphin high, from running the race, to a bomb exploding. Boston was prepared and did an incredible job, but I felt totally helpless in that no phones were working, I had no control over the situation, and I was very worried as where my friends were and if they were okay.” She stops for a moment. “It definitely jarred me. My

Boston.” Impressively Denice, finished in the top 10% all three times. Denice’s future plans include running the Space Coast Marathon in Coco Beach, Florida this November, followed by her fifth Boston Marathon in April 2017. Wellness As Wellness Director of the YMCA, Denice oversees the Fitness Department, which encompasses all group exercises and personal training. She has developed a program that individualizes wellness plans for members, providing them with the opportunity to make positive change in their health and fitness. Denice says, “It is a benefit for all members, consisting of four appointments over twelve weeks. It is a personalized guide to the introduction of fitness, which can sometimes be intimating . We can reach out to a larger population, of all different types.” Denice says, “It is a tangible program designed for individual members. They keep a diary and have to be accountable- and eight out of ten are! Our members are proud of their accomplishments, and we can crack the code and get you to a better place.” She continues, “I am a fan of healthy, which is not necessarily skinny. When people deprive themselves they are setting themselves up for failure. We want to create the building blocks of wellness and a healthy lifestyle.” Family Time

kids were upset. I didn’t want to scare my children. I believe it was God’s will that I survived and I became extremely thankful seeing what the victims went through. But I refused to give in to fear and I ran it again the next year. It was a completely positive emotional experience, celebrating the resilience and rebirth of the Boston Marathon.” This past April Denice ran her fourth Boston Marathon, completing it in 3 hours

and 21 minutes, making it her fastest overall marathon. NYC Marathon & Beyond Always up for a new challenge , Denice says “In 2013, I ran the New York City Marathon for the first time.

While marathon running may be a solitary pursuit, for this family running is a family affair. With the strong example and support of their mother, Denice’s children, Max, 14, Jackson, 12, and Ben,7, all race competitively as well. Proud mother Denice says, “My youngest Ben just ran a 5K , Jackson is doing great and Max is on the cross county track team at Beaufort High School.” Denice’s significant other Lorick Fanning has also become a training partner for Denice. He rides his bike along side of her while she runs her long training run. This has pushed Denice to run faster during her training and she has achieved faster marathon times. Denice says her family loves being outside and taking advantage of Beaufort’s many beautiful waterways. She says, “We enjoy being on the boat, and being athletic and active. I am a very family orientated person and would rather be on the water spending time with my family than anything else.” She smiles and says, “ I am happiest in my life being here. Beaufort is home.”

Spirits of G Pollitzer story by carol lauvray

rowing Up on the River Ricky, as his friends call him, can hardly remember a time growing up when he wasn’t on the water. At four, he was going out with his father in a duck boat to fish. His cousin Henry Chambers (Beaufort’s former mayor) taught him as a youth to sail. During the summers he would go to regattas in Charleston and Savannah with friends. “Beaufort in the 1950s was a boys’ town. In junior high, my friends and I were ‘going down the river’ to camp, fish and hunt on Goat Island or Morgan Island for days at time. Our parents never worried about us,” Rick explained. He grew up in the Point neighborhood in a home on the green near historic Tidalholm, the childhood home of USCB history professor emeritus, Larry Rowland. The two boys met during sixth grade and became life-long friends. They played baseball and football on the green together and spent as much time on the water boating and sailing as they could. When Rick was 13, he joined Larry and his family on their 44-foot sailboat on Lake Huron, sailing and living on the boat that summer. Over the years, the two men bought, built, modified and owned many boats together—tug boats, shrimp boats, outboards, motor cruisers, and sailboats. Rick learned to fly in a Cessna single-engine plane while he was in college. In 1963, he joined the South Carolina Air National Guard and trained to fly F-102 fighter jets. Many of his friends in the Guard were going to work for the airlines, so Rick decided to become a pilot for Eastern Airlines. He was based out of Atlanta, however, he continued to live in Beaufort and commute from Savannah for his flights. Anne’s Early Years Anne was born in Columbia, S.C. and at the age of two, her parents moved back to Beaufort where both had been raised. Her mother, Eleanor Christensen, was a teacher and librarian in town. Anne Christensen and Rick Pollitzer did not know each other during their school years because they were not in the same class, but they did know of each other—after all Beaufort was a very small town then. Anne lived in Pigeon Point on Lafayette Street from grade school until she went to college. As kids, Anne and her sister Barbara and brother Chris would spend summer days in the water. They’d walk the short distance from their house to Pigeon Point landing and jump into the creek to swim. In high school, she had a close circle of girlfriends. “We pretty much ran the school’s social events,” she laughed. Anne graduated from Agnes Scott College in Decatur, Georgia, a small private liberal arts school, and earned her Masters’ degree from Emory University in Atlanta. After marrying, she and her first husband joined the Peace Corps and served in Nepal together for two years. Anne taught English (as a second language), math and science in a mud schoolhouse in a small village there. While they were married, the couple had two boys, William Ide (born in Nepal) and Stratton (Stratty).

Beaufort Lifestyle | August/September 2016 27

After her divorce, Anne visited Beaufort in the spring of 1970 to look for a teaching position so she could move back to her hometown. Her cousin Carol Sommerville had a dinner party while Anne was here and that’s when she met Rick Pollitzer. “We knew right away there was a connection,” she said. “Rick took my two boys, Ide and Stratty, and me flying in a small plane. He did acrobatic tricks in the air and then landed on Pritchards Island beach. “I thought to myself, ‘Whew, here we go!’ and that’s when the adventures began!” Anne moved back to Beaufort, took a teaching position, and she and Rick were married only a few months later in December 1970. The Pollitzers’ Adventures Begin Anne and Rick began their married life together living on St. Helena Island as parents to Anne’s sons Ide and Stratty, whom Rick adopted. She was teaching at Beaufort High School in the early 1970s when the three area high schools were combined to comply with the 1954 Supreme Court decision requiring racial integration. Rick continued to commute to Atlanta to fly for Eastern Airlines. Anne Pollitzer, like her great-grandmother Abbie Holmes Christensen, was a pioneer in education in Beaufort. Anne founded the first Montessori School here. She saw a need to provide early-childhood education because there were very few day care centers at that time and only one kindergarten in town. Rick helped her get the building at Duke and West Streets ready to open its doors in 1973. The Eleanor Christensen Montessori and Grade School was the first racially integrated private school in Beaufort. Their sons Richard III and Charles (Chuck) were born in 1974 and 1977, so Anne and Rick became the parents of four sons. The Pollitzer family continued to focus their lives around education

28 August/September 2016 | www.BeaufortLifestyle.com

and the water as the children grew up. Rick bought the Egret, a 42-foot motor sailer in 1985. During the summer break from school in 1986, he and Anne, along with three of their sons, Ide (18), Richard (12), and Chuck (9), sailed the Egret to the Bahamas for a month with Larry Rowland and his 12-year-old son, Lawrence. Rick had flown for Eastern Airlines for 23 years when it suddenly ceased operations in 1991, but he readily admits, “My first love has always been boating.” One afternoon not long after Rick lost his job with Eastern, Anne came home from school and announced, “I know what we’re going to do. We’ll take the boat and Chuck and go on an adventure!” After almost two decades of heading the school she founded, in the fall of 1991, Anne advised the Board of the Montessori School that she would be leaving the following fall. During the year that intervened, Rick prepared the Egret for the Pollitzers’ Central American adventure. The Adventure of a Lifetime In early September 1992, Anne, Rick and their youngest son Chuck, who was then 14, set sail on a voyage to Guatemala that would last more than 10 months and would take them worlds away from the Lowcounty. They traveled via the Intracoastal Waterway, stopping first in Key Largo for six weeks to relax. By the beginning of November, they had reached Key West. Next they sailed 70 miles west to the Dry Tortugas, a U.S. National Park with an enormous historic brick fort, Fort Jefferson, and pristine reefs for snorkeling. The Pollitzers encountered problems on the next leg of their voyage. The seas were so rough that they had to crawl, instead of stand, inside the cockpit of the boat, and one of them needed to hold the wheel at all times—day and night. “I was at the wheel of the Egret one night en route to Cancun, Mexico, when our boat

barely missed hitting a freighter!” exclaimed Anne. Earlier in their journey, the Pollitzers met two retired Navy men who had a boat called Ragtime. As both boats, the Egret and Ragtime, were headed to Cancun, the Ragtime’s rudder broke and the Pollitzers came to the rescue, towing the disabled boat for two days until they reached a port. Anne, Rick and Chuck spent Christmas in Cancun. From there, they headed south to Belize, and finally went on to Guatemala, where they visited Tikal and the Mayan cities, and Livingston at the mouth of the Rio Dulce river. They motored up the river to Lago de Izabal, spending four months, from February to May, in the lake region. They visited Antigua, a city surrounded by volcanoes, and traveled across the country on Chicken Buses—old school buses from the U.S. that were used to transport people and even their caged chickens. During their stay in Guatemala, all three of Anne and Rick’s other sons and Rick’s mother, Madeleine Pollitzer, flew down to visit. The entire trip was an educational experience. The trio studied Spanish, learned about Guatemala, its people and their culture, and learned how to function in the local marketplaces, as well as how to survive sailing across the Gulf of Mexico. Still “Going Down the River” The Pollitzers are a close, laid-back and loving family who live on the water. On weekends, you can find Rick and Anne, often with their sons and grandkids, on their 34-foot trawler, Southern Gig, anchored at the sandbar on the Morgan River. Or you may see Rick and Larry Rowland tacking back and forth across the river in Anna, the 24-foot sailboat they own together. Anne and Rick have four sons, six grandchildren (with another on the way), six stepgrandchildren, and a step-great-grandchild—and all of them love the water. Rick built a 28-foot outboard motor boat, Sunday Man, with son Richard in the late 1990s. Anne and Rick like to trailer that boat to Florida for outings with the family, which they plan to do again soon. At last count, six boats were tied up at the end of the 850-foot dock at the Pollitzers’ home. While he still flies several times a month as a corporate pilot, being on the water is Rick’s first love. Anne ran for political office in 2002, continues to support education in Beaufort, and has spent a great deal of her time over the past 15 years researching the histories of the Christensen and Pollitzer families. Rick and Anne Pollitzer have adventurous spirits—whether they’re on the water, in the air or transforming education in Nepal or here in Beaufort.

Savionna Glover

Beaufort’s Next Olympic Hopeful story by jeff whitten photography by paul nurnberg

he list of things Beaufort High School track and field star Savionna Glover wants to get done before she is done is as straightforward as a race down 100 meters of track. 1. Turn pro in the middle of her college career. 2. Meet three-time Olympic gold medalist Allyson Felix. 3. Make it to the 2020 Olympic trials. 4. Win a gold medal in the 2020 Olympic games in Tokyo. Those are lofty ambitions, but for Glover, a rising senior, the question may not be whether she competes in the Olympics, but instead in what event. Long jump? Triple jump? What about her favorite, event, the 100-meter dash? Glover, who holds Beaufort High’s long jump record with a jump of 18-feet, 3 inches, already has four state AAA individual

32 August/September 2016 | www.BeaufortLifestyle.com

titles in South Carolina High School League competition, having won back-to-back long jump and triple jump titles as both a sophomore and junior. In May, she ran the first leg in the Eagles’ title-winning 4x100 relay team as well, while also placing second behind Berea’s Kennedy Dennis in the 100-meter dash, to pick up a fifth medal. Those accomplishments haven’t gone unnoticed. Glover, a standout on a BHS team of standouts, was the 2014-2015 High School Sports Report’s AAA girls’ track athlete of the year. She’s won All District 8 honors, All State honors and is widely considered one of the area’s top track athletes. This summer, Glover and teammate Adrienne Brown went to Australia to compete in the Down Under Games. Glover won two golds and a silver, and Brown got a gold. Then they got to go Hawaii. More on

that later. Because before attending college and turning pro and the Olympics, Glover still has another year of high school to go. She is in one of South Carolina’s top programs under one of the South’s top track coaches, 10-time state champ coach Herbert Glaze, whom Glover started running for back in middle school after she finished her eighth grade season at Lady’s Island Middle School. That’s where she started running, as a seventh grader when a gym teacher told Glover to think about track because she was “pretty fast.” “I decided to try out for the team and ended up making it,” Glover said. “I’ve been competing ever since.” Has she ever, though it’s not all about “being pretty fast.” Glover is an honor roll kid with a 4.2 GPA and a fondness for

science and food nutrition classes. “I’m more of a hands on learner, I learn things faster that way,” she said. She dedicates anywhere from 15-20 hours a week to her sport, whether it’s inseason or not. And while she favors the 100 because it requires both speed and technique, and a good start, it’s the sheer multiplicity of demands placed on jumpers that makes those who do it well so uncommon. “What makes a good jumper? You have to have coordination, strength, speed,” Glover said. “You have to stay in the weight room and working on the track, like running the 400 will make your 100 time faster, it also helps you with your jump.” That’s just in the long jump. There’s also the triple jump, an odd event which is as much about knowing how to stride, or pace, as it is about athleticism and coordination and strength and www.BeaufortLifestyle.com | August/September 2016

speed. Suffice it for now to say that Glover is the state’s best in her division, though it was in the long jump where she had her most exhilarating performance to date. It was at the state meet at Spring Valley High School in Columbia. Glover had struggled with the long jump all spring. “My season was off the whole year. it was probably my weakest event, and before my last jump I was in third place,” Glover said. “So it was like ‘I’ve got to do this now, right now.’” She did do it, right then. Glover jumped 18 feet, 1.25 inches. That’s not her best or a school record, but it was good enough on that day, and Glover’s goal is to continue to improve. She wants to own the school record in the triple jump just like she has the long jump record, and she’s got friend Tatianna Fripp to help push her as she works on getting faster. There’s room for that. Glover’s time of 12.20 in the 100 meters at the state finals this spring is less than a second slower than the 11.32 second qualifying standard for the Olympic trials. Her best in the long jump is about three inches shy of the 21.235 feet standard, and her triple jump is also a few inches short of the distance required to get to the Olympic trials.

34 June/July 2016 | www.BeaufortLifestyle.com

But Glover has time. She’ll go somewhere to college - very likely on scholarship - and wants to study sports medicine. In her downtime, Glover likes scary movies and pizza and making modern dance videos with friends - perhaps in part because as a child she told her mother she’d be seeing her on TV in the Olympics. Give her any car to drive and she’d pick a black Range Rover, and she loves to cook in the kitchen as well as on the track. But the Olympics, that’s the thing. It’s No. 4 on Glover’s list of things to get done before she’s done. Maybe here then is a good place to share Glover’s advice to youngsters entering high school, where she’ll be a senior this fall: “Whatever you want to do, you can accomplish it, don’t let people tell you that you can’t. Try your hardest, stay focused and you’ll get there.” Which brings us back to Hawaii, where Glover spent three days earlier this July learning some culture and enjoying the sun. It was on her list of things to get done before she’s done. “No. 5, Go back to Hawaii,” she said. You know, that could happen in 2020, right after the Olympics. Find the right flight, and Hawaii is a little over halfway between Beaufort and Tokyo.

LowCountry Habitat for Humanity’s

owCountry Habitat for Humanity’s popular UpCycled Art Auction is returning this year- Saturday September 17, 6-9 pm at The Shed, 809 Paris Avenue in Port Royal. Dozens of talented and generous area artists and craftsmen have taken items from the Habitat ReStore and upcycled them- creating delightful new works of art and craft that will be auctioned during the evening. Proceeds will be used to help

build the ReStore Habitat house. The first UpCycled Art Auction was held two years ago to celebrate the tenth anniversary of LowCountry Habitat’s ReStore, and was a well-received successful event. After a year’s respite, the auction is coming back in its original location with its same format. Honorary chair of the event Hidecki (Aki) Kato, a well-known Beaufort-based oil and acrylic painter, muralist and sceneon-furniture creator. He has been a strong

38 August/September 2016 | www.BeaufortLifestyle.com

and generous supporter of LowCountry Habitat for 10 years. CBC National Bank is presenting sponsor of the event. The Fripp Island Resort is partnering with Habitat to provide the catering for this event. Music will be by Drysdale Entertainment with Billy Drysdale as the master of ceremonies. Deanna Bowdish will be auctioneer for the live English auction. Tickets are $35 each, available at the ReStore, 612 Parris Island Gateway, Port

Royal. Also through the website www.lowcountryhabitat.org. These are strictly limited and advance purchase is required. Other event sponsors are Fripp Island Resort, Beaufort Realty Consultants, Eat Sleep Play Beaufort, Lowcountry Weekly, Morningside Assisted Living, Picklejuice Productions and Rotary Club of the Lowcountry. If this fabulous event on its own isn’t enough, wait until you hear about the family that will benefit from this endeavor. Proceeds from this event will be used to build the Restore House located in the Mossy Oaks neighborhood. The ReStore House will become the home of the Johnson Family – Orlando, Crystal and children Orlando Jr, Robert, Landyn, Nalonyah & Saniyan. November 14, 2014 was a life altering day for the Johnson Family. It was the day they welcomed triplets into their family as well as the day they turned in their application to be a Habitat Family Partner. Although, Orlando Johnson is a hard working construction worker with Atlantic Marine, his income alone is insufficient to purchase a home large enough to support his family. The home that they rent is too small for their expanding family and has many repair issues including an insufficient heating and cooling system. “I am excited to be able to call a house a home. A place for my children to be able to grow up in and one day look back on all the special memories we will make in our home. The group of people, volunteers, ReStore, office and board have been incredible with helping us succeed in the steps for us to make this long dream, hope, and wish, to be home owners, come true.” ~Crystal Johnson The Upcycled Art Auction will provide the needed funding to complete the ReStore Home for the Johnson Family. It takes the generous support of our community working together to build a brighter future for the Johnson Family and make their dream of homeownership a reality. Crystal and Orlando are overjoyed to become homeowners.

DRAGONS INVADE BEAUFORT!

reg Rawls, who fashioned the red dragon you may have seen about town, has been an avid supporter of DragonBoat Beaufort and Race Day. This is what he has to say: “I have been involved with DragonBoat Race Day since the beginning. I have watched it grow into a huge event that brings together an eclectic cross section of our community. I love watching people have fun and releasing their ‘inner silliness’ for a great cause. I love watching people paddle their hearts out trying to win a medal. I love the Carnation Ceremony where we remember those we have lost to cancer but also those who are still fighting the good fight. I love that every year more people become aware of and support DragonBoat Beaufort’s cancer survivor/support mission.” Dragonboat Beaufort is hosting the 4th annual DragonBoat Race Day. DragonBoat Race Day 2016 will be held at beautiful Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park downtown on the Beaufort River in America’s Happiest Seaside Community, Beaufort, SC. The Dragon Boat races will be the highlight of labor day, including a free Friday night concert.

The exciting dragon boat races will take place Saturday, September 3, 2016 from 8am until 4pm as 35 teams race right in front of the Park’s seawall. Among the fun and festivities will be an opening ceremony, three heats of races, the moving Carnation Ceremony for cancer survivors and their families and the closing medal ceremony. DragonBoat Race Day will include many local businesses, community groups, teams of friends and family racing against each other. The mixed Cancer Survivor Division will be the showcase for our heroes and heroines, honoring the spirit of DragonBoat Race Day. All teams will be fundraising as part of the competition.

dining guide

story by mary ellen thompson

s you round the corner on Paris Avenue going into historic Port Royal, pass the Parkers gas station and then stop your car. Right there on the right, tucked into a small two-story grey building with white trim is the restaurant 1635 On the Avenue. There are several tables with red striped umbrellas and enough chairs for all your close friends to join you on the patio. And the parking is easy. Or, go on inside if the summer heat is too much for you. There you will find a lovely and relaxing palette of grays, and pleasing striped fabric on the built-in banquette. The coastal feeling is enhanced with artwork by local favorite artist, Jonathan Greene, and a few other nautical pieces as well. You will also notice the most important accoutrement to fine dining - there are white table cloths on all the indoor tables and charming mercury glass votive candle holders. Wherever you choose to sit, peruse the menu carefully because the selection is unlike any place else in Beaufort. If your waistband has been a little snug lately, you’ll be pleased to know that you can sip something and choose from the small plates menu. A glass of white wine paired with the Steamed Mussels, which themselves are steamed in white wine, butter, garlic and served with crusty bread is a good diet selection, as are the Escargot, also cooked in white wine, butter, lemon, Parmesan cheese and served with crusty bread. These are particularly good choices if you happen to be a fan of white wine, butter and bread; but isn’t everyone? If you’re feeling like something a bit more robust but still not an entire dinner, then try the Smoked Gouda Mac which is penne pasta, heavy cream, smoked Gouda and Parmesan cheeses, layered over crispy bacon pieces and, again, served with crusty bread. Or you can have salad: Cranberry

Chicken Salad, Roasted Vegetable Salad, or a Large Green Salad, all served with choices of homemade salad dressings. Perhaps you’re more in the mood for the Tomato-Basil Pie which is puff pastry filled with roasted tomato, basil, Colby cheese, and cream cheese mixed with red onions and served with a green salad. A tall, cool, gin and tonic would be a great accompaniment to the Coastal Crab Cake or the Fish Tacos. Of course iced tea, coffee, Coke products, ginger ale and imported and domestic beers are offered along with a full list of wines and spirits. Chef, and owner, Lorett Hayes, opened this restaurant with some serious background in this business in Pendleton SC. Lorett came into the restaurant business through the back door. “I thought I wanted to be in retail so I bought a building, I quickly decided I didn’t like sitting there waiting for people to come to me so my husband, Randy, had the idea to turn it into an old fashioned ice cream parlor which we named Serendipity. We quickly realized that people wanted food as well so we made Serendipity into a lunch venue.” Lorett recalls, “That’s when I got this passion for what I do. We’re all given a gift, but some of us never find it; mine was food.” After Serendipity, Lorett and Randy bought an eight room B&B, Liberty Hall, that also housed a dining room with sixtyfive seats and a bar also with a dining room. Next was 1826 On the Green; when they decided to retire they sold that business to two of their employees and moved to Beaufort where they had a summer house at Land’s End for twelve years. Although Randy has remained in retirement, Lorett still had the itch and they bought the property at 1635 Paris Avenue, restored it and opened this restaurant. As the only person cooking in the kitchen, Lorett says, “I’m a one girl party!” and laughs. Ranked #1 in 2016 on TripAdvisor for restaurants in Port

Royal, it’s clear that Lorett knows what her customers like. “It’s all about the customer; people in the service industry have forgotten that. You need to do everything for your customer.” And she has it absolutely right, from the starched white table cloths to the menu, the service, and the presentation. The dishes are artfully layered or decorated, sauces are swirled and fanned. “When you get a present, if it’s just in a bag, it isn’t as exciting as if it’s wrapped in pretty paper with bows. I believe that people eat with their eyes first.” So Lorett prepares for them a dish that is that is presented like a gift. In addition to all the above reasons for choosing 1635 On the Avenue, is also one of great significance, and that is the value. You can have a cup of soup and a baguette for $6. The small plates, starters and salads range in price from $7 to $14 and the most expensive item on the full dinner menu is $24 for the Rib Eye Steak which is a 12 oz. steak served with caramelized onions and mushrooms, and comes with a salad, your choice of a rice cake or roasted potatoes, and fresh sauteed vegetables. The pasta dishes can be ordered as a whole or half portion and are served with a salad. And yes, you can order bread with your pasta. A favorite, Fried Catfish is a filet served over smoked Gouda grits, finished with creole gravy and Andouille sausage ($18); Lorett says “This dish is the perfect marriage between smoked grits and fish. People say we have the best catfish they’ve ever had.” But don’t overlook the Buttermilk Fried Chicken and other assortment of seafood dishes, as there is something sure to please every palate. Open for dinner Wednesday through Saturday from 5:00 p.m. until 8:00. Reservations preferred, so make yours now.

SAVE SELLING

WITHOUT SACRIFICING SERVICE story by Carl Joye

photography by John Wollwerth and provided by Apex Team Real Estate

eam with Apex and Save! Apex Team Real Estate is a Full Service company that now offers ALL the services you’ve come to expect when selling, buying, or renting your home but now at a reduced rate without ANY reduced services. We offer a professionally staffed office open at least six days a week with a staff of Experienced and Professional agents that are always Available. As a 56 year native of the Beaufort and Port Royal, SC area, I’ve been in the real estate business all of my professional life since the eighties, first as a custom home builder working hand in hand with Sing Pappas, a top producing real estate agent with Weichert Realtors over the past 30 plus years, and over the past 12 years as a real estate agent, now Broker/Owner of Apex Team Real Estate. I know the area, I know the market, and I know how to get your home sold in the shortest amount of time, at the best price, with the least inconvenience to you! Save Thousands Selling your home with our 50% reduced 1.5% Listing Commission: Listing commissions are set by individual brokers and there is no standard listing commission. However, most sellers pay 3% to real estate companies to list their home for sale. In order to earn your business, generate buyers, and get your home sold, I’ve decided to offer an option for Sellers to pay 50% of the most common listing commission, saving Sellers thousands of dollars with absolutely NO SACRIFICE OF SERVICE! We are not a Flat Rate Discount Broker offering a $1,999.00 special with what are described as “only subtle changes in service.” We do not post your name and number on the internet having you take the calls and schedule showings to people you assume are agents. We do not use generic lock boxes with codes where there is no tracking of who enters your home at any time. We are FULL SERVICE BROKERS who sell your home professionally! Save Hundreds or Thousands Buying your home with our $500 to $6,000 credit at closing: Based on the sales price of the home you purchase using Apex Team Real Estate,

52 June/July 2016 | www.BeaufortLifestyle.com

we’ll pay from $500 to $6,000 of your allowable closing cost or prepaid items. This allows the Buyer to either save out of pocket cost or buy the home at a lower price. As an example, for a $250,000 home, Apex Team will credit the Buyer $1,250 and for a $500,000, the credit will be $2,500. Working with experienced and professional agents is a valuable benefit in itself that may not be realized until a problem arises. Apex Team agents are Available, Professional and Experienced! Price, Condition, and Exposure sells homes: Exposure is our Specialty! 50 Quality Pictures and 800 words of Descriptive Remarks of the home and the community are guaranteed for each listing. I take great pride in the work I do to professionally market your home and get it seen by today’s demanding internet buyers. If the buyer does not have the information they want at the click of their mouse, they move on. The truth is that all real estate agents have most of the same tools at their disposal and it comes down to how

skilled they are, how they use them, and how hard they’re willing to work. Once pictures, remarks, and other information is loaded into the multiple listing service, the information is automatically fed to Realtor.com, Zillow, Trulia, and all of the multiple internet search engines. It’s what you put in that’s what the consumer sees. In addition to the free exposure, we enhance our internet presence on major internet search engines to better expose your home and generate buyers for your home. Our ForSaleInBeaufort.com website generates many potential buyers for your home as well with buyers who sign up and search on their own until they want a real estate agent and send request for information. Price another factor in selling your home. Market Value is based on the most recent comparable sales over the past year and really has little to do with what a homeowner paid for their home. We work with our clients to determine market value and generate an acceptable listing that will get your home shown. If a home is overpriced, the buyer who will see it is

looking for more and the buyer who would buy it, won’t see it because it’s overpriced. We list at the price requested by the Seller after advising what price we fell will generate traffic and offers for their home. Condition is the final factor of selling a home. Some conditions can be changed easily and some simply don’t make sense based on cost or even eliminating potential buyers. We meet with our sellers and develop a plan to optimize the condition of a home without wasting the seller’s money or eliminating potential buyers. The truth you can handle; It’s a Win-Win: How can Apex Team Real Estate offer what no one else in the business is offering? The truth is that we want more business and are willing to take less to get your business. More listings get us more buyers. We believe it’s a Win-Win. You save money while getting the best service available and we grow our business by providing excellence of service at a more affordable rate. Everybody Wins! Paid Advertorial

Celebrating OUR PROVIDERS

Beaufort Memorial

Keyserling Cancer Center Celebrates 10 Years of

Caring for the Community On a sunny afternoon in 2006 hundreds of people gathered in Port Royal, South Carolina, to celebrate the grand opening of the area’s first cancer center, a place where patients could be treated in the comfort of their community, and in the company of caring physicians and staff.

Our center was named in honor of longtime Beaufort Memorial Hospital physician and community member B. Herbert Keyserling, M.D., and supported by generous donors throughout the area, and its opening marked both an end and a beginning: the end of traveling great distances to receive life-saving cancer care and the beginning of comprehensive cancer services close to home. Beaufort Memorial’s affiliation with MUSC Health expands that care by providing local access to cancer clinical trials through one of the country’s elite, NCI-designated cancer centers —just one more demonstration of our commitment to helping our community live well.
