Development impact fees – the debate goes on
L
BEAUFORT ast week’s column was about the county’s development impact fees … and guess what? This one is as well. It’s just too fascinating subject to ignore … unless you’re one of those residents who don’t really care about what your local government is doing, you just want to know how much it’s gonna cost you. Of course, if you happen to be planning on building a new home — either as the owner or the contractor — your attention may have been captured by the proceedings of the Beaufort County Council in the past month. Or maybe you’re a prospective homeowner who doesn’t mind an additional $8,000 to $10,000 tacked onto your construction budget. It seems we have quite a few of those folks among us. The County Council two weeks ago decided to play hard ball with the municipal councils who they felt were asking too many questions how these proposed fees were gonna work and what projects were going to be undertaken. The majority of county council members agreed if the municipalities wouldn’t sign mutual agreements on the various impact fee ordinances, they’d just drop the whole program. Their argument was that it wasn’t fair for folks building a new home in the county to pay certain fees that folks building a new

fter a staggering 86 years in downtown Beaufort, Harvey’s Barbershop is moving. The Bay Street institution is planning to open June 1 in its new Lady’s Island location in the Grayco Shopping Center. Ray Harvey, who owns and runs the business with his brother Johnny, said the growth in tourism, while good for the town, has made it difficult for him to operate his business. “The tourism has grown double just about every year for the last five

years,” Ray said. “That eats up all the parking spaces. I just had two customers say they had to park twoand-a-half blocks away. It’s just gotten busier and busier with people not getting haircuts. Tourism is not good for haircuts.” According to Ray, his father, Furman Harvey, started cutting hair in Beaufort in 1936. Furman grew up in Fairfax, S.C., and learned the barber trade in Florida before settling briefly in Walterboro. “He went to work in a shop in Walterboro, and didn’t like it,” Ray explained. “That’s why he moseyed
down here one day. He got out of the car and passed a man, Mr. Fordham from Fordham’s Hardware. He asked him, ‘Do you know anyone that needs a barber?’” A simple inquiry led to a job in short order, and that was all it took to establish a business that has lasted four score and six years, so far. In 1954, Furman moved the business into its third and final location, a building that Furman built himself. Johnny and Ray bought the business and the building in 1993, though

Exposing the American Conquistadors
Author argues Beaufort County played key role in establishing America By Tony Kukulich The origin story of the United States is often told as the founding of the Jamestown colony by the English in 1607 or the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock 13 years later, but a local author is working to shed light on the significance that present day Beaufort County played in the founding of the country. Considering Jamestown or Plymouth as the start of the American story ignores European explorations and settlement attempts for the entirety of the 16th century, what historians refer to as the “lost century of American history.” It’s an era that is understood by few.
With the publication of his book “American Conquistador,” Beaufort resident Daryl Ferguson is determined to change that. Ferguson’s interest in the significance of the Port Royal Sound area in the earliest days of European settlement efforts was sparked by a conversation with Professor Larry Rowland, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of History for the University of South Carolina Beaufort. Rowland told Ferguson about a little-known settlement called Santa Elena and said he believed it could be the site where America began. “He told me that there was in fact a historical site on Parris Island that
may go back as early as a settlement to 1569,'' Ferguson said. “I said, ‘I can’t believe it. We’ve all been taught that the English landed at Plymouth as our first settlement in 1620.’” For Ferguson, an amateur historian with a Ph.D in business, that conversation would spark a research effort that would consume six days a week for eight years. “After we had our conversation, he just got completely hooked on Santa Elena and the whole Spanish story of the southeast coast,” Rowland said. At Rowland’s direction, Ferguson

One hopes there are more Roland Gardners
I just read about the retirement of Roland Gardner of Beaufort-Jasper-Hampton Comprehensive Health Services (BJHCHS). About 10 years ago, when I was working as a social worker at DCI, a dialysis clinic, I had the privilege of talking to Mr. Gardner. A new patient, recently released from prison, came to our clinic. He had been in prison for 20 years and was now living with his family. This man, who I’ll call Ray, had kidney failure and diabetes. He had no medical insurance and needed medication and a primary care doctor. This was before Obamacare (the Affordable Care Act). Though he would have been eligible for Medicaid, the process would have taken too long for his (immediate) needs. I called BJHCHS and briefly explained

his problem. The receptionist forwarded the call to Mr. Gardner, who picked up the phone himself. He asked me about Ray and then said he would take care of everything. “Just have Ray come to the Okatie clinic the next day about 10 a.m.” and ask for him. I told Ray, and he called his brother who said he would take him to the clinic the next day. Ray went to the Okatie clinic, met Mr. Gardner, had a session with a doctor, got the medications he needed and signed up for Medicaid. Mr. Gardner told him there was no cost. Ray was so relieved as he didn’t want to be a burden to his family. He later received Medicare and Medicaid and was happy to be a patient of BJHCHS and DCI. I always marveled at the compassion and humanity of Mr. Gardner … a man so highly placed who saw his duty as personally taking care of a man long displaced from society and needed help. One hopes there
are more Roland Gardners in our world. – Barbara Temple

Soft Shell Crab Festival returns Saturday
From staff reports Like many of the other events around the Lowcountry, the Soft Shell Crab Festival essentially took a twoyear hiatus thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. But this Saturday, April 16 the festival is back for its 17th year of celebrating and
savoring the deliciousness of those soft-shelled, blue crab delicacies. The festival will be held from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Paris Avenue in the heart of the Old Village of Port
Royal. The festival is free and open to all ages. The event will feature the Lowcountry’s soft shell crabs prepared in a variety of styles by area chefs in addition to street festival favorites
such as burgers, funnel cakes and more. There will also be a kids’ zone for children, a craft/artisan fair, a car show by Beaufort’s Classic Car & Truck Club, and Biker’s Against Bullies will bring their bikes. In addition, two live musical acts will be featured
during the event. Campfire Tyler, a Beaufort acoustic guitar storyteller, will perform on the main stage from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Then guitar man Chris Jones will perform from 2 to 5 p.m. Jones has a large local following and routinely performs at Luther’s, Hemmingway’s, the Port Royal
community beer garden and many other popular spots. Two ATMs will be on site for those who do not bring cash with them. No pets are permitted; only service dogs are allowed. The event is organized by the Old Village Association of Port Royal.
AMIkids Beaufort to celebrate croquet at 31st annual Brays Island picnic event in May
From staff reports After a two-year pandemic hiatus, AMIkids Beaufort will again host croquet players and fun lovers from across the Lowcountry on Saturday, May 7 at Brays Island to raise money for the residential education and treatment program for boys who made bad choices. AMIkids is part of a national organization but is locally governed. For 30 years, the Croquet Picnic has been the primary means of raising local money to help the program succeed. “We are thrilled to once again be out in the open at Brays Island to celebrate AMIkids Beaufort through our croquet picnic,” Chair of the local board John Williams said in a release. “For two years we depended on our dedicated supporters to help keep us afloat without croquet, but now we’ve got the wickets painted, the grounds are being prepped and we are on schedule for May 7.” At the Croquet Picnic, the Board of Trustees will announce a major and critical

The AMIkids model pays off: Young men who complete AMIkids typically don’t run afoul of the law, and many leave the program with job training such as nationally recognized certificates in welding and food service.
In Beaufort, a federal YouthBuild grant and new carpentry workshop provide added skills and hands-on learning. Every year, Brays Island and its owners donate the golf course practice range tee where eight 30x40-foot croquet courts are groomed to the finest playing conditions
for the event, Williams said. “We really consider Brays Island and its residents to be our partners. We couldn’t do this without them, and it’s such a spectacular setting for croquet,” said Mike Ingram, a board member at AMIkids Beaufort, co-chair of the croquet event, and Director of
Golf at Brays Island. “They make this whole thing possible and we greatly appreciate them.” AMIkids also partners with community service projects throughout Beaufort County. Male teens convicted of crimes can be assigned to AMIkids through the Department of Juvenile Justice. Students work toward their high school equivalency diplomas, also known as the GED. The May 7 Croquet Picnic will be held from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Brays Island off US 17 in Sheldon, about 15 miles west of Beaufort. A “Captain’s Party” for all participants will be held the evening of May 6 at a waterfront home in Beaufort’s Spanish Point. Teams of four to eight people compete in the friendly croquet tournament, said Dr. Mike Harris, a board member and co-chair of the AMIkids Beaufort Croquet Picnic.

Port Royal shrimp boats forced to relocate for construction of new dock
By Tony Kukulich The Port Royal dock was still crowded with shrimp boats Saturday afternoon, April 9 with less than a week remaining before an April 15 deadline to clear the dock of all vessels. The Town of Port Royal is engaged in an effort to rebuild the dock, the latest in a series of actions taken by the town to support the continuation of shrimping in the Lowcountry. But, demolition and construction can’t get under way until all of the boats have relocated. “We understand that some of them won’t be moved, and we’ll have to pursue whatever legal processes available to get them moved,” said Town Manager Van Willis. In what might be seen as a reflection of the difficulties the shrimping industry has endured in recent years, the nine boats tied up at the dock are in various states of seaworthiness. “The reality is that of the nine boats that are there, only one shrimped this past season,” Willis said. “Two have been outright abandoned. The (South Carolina) Department of Natural Resources actually declared one of the boats abandoned, and we’ve been given title to a second boat. Now we’re working with the other boats to relocate while we do this replacement and renovation to the existing dock.”
It’s “standing room only” with both shrimp trawlers and pleasure craft tying up at the Port Royal shrimp docks behind Fish Camp on 11th Street in Port Royal. All vessels have until Friday, April 15 to vacate the dock as renovations are scheduled to begin soon. Photo by Bob Sofaly. The effort to replace the dock came as the result of an engineering study of its structural integrity. That study determined that a complete replacement of the decades-old structure was necessary. A new dock design was developed, one that would work with other plans for the area. Safe Harbor Marinas – a national marina operations company which leases Beaufort’s Downtown Marina and owns Port Royal Landings and Skull Creek Marina on
Hilton Head Island, as well as more than 100 other marinas – purchased the 317-acre Port Royal site from Grey Ghost Properties, who had purchased it in 2017. Safe Harbor is, according to Willis, moving forward with its efforts to obtain the necessary permits to construct a marina. The town worked with Shannon Erickson, R-SC 124, and a legislative delegation to secure $900,000 from the state budget for the effort. Combined with another
$600,000 already set aside for the project, the town has $1.5 million available for the dock and a new space to pack shrimp and offload swordfish boats. That space could be placed in a Safe Harbor building adjacent to the Fish Camp restaurant. “We have $1.5 million, but we know we’re going to need a lot more than that to build the buildings,” Willis said. “That’s why we’re seeking out partnerships that will allow that to happen.”
The total cost of the initiative has not yet been determined. Just the removal of the two abandoned boats is expected to cost the town $120,000. But town officials remain committed to the shrimping industry. “Ironically, we’re still one of the poorer municipalities in terms of total budget in all of Beaufort County, yet we’re the ones that have been charged with saving shrimping,” Willis said. “Prior to the state earmarking money this year,
there’s been no financial assistance from any other entity whatsoever. We were underwriting shrimping. That’s the bottom line.” The town got into the shrimping business in 2006 when William Gay, who was at the time managing the dock and shrimp-packing operations, was evicted from the port. His eviction left the operation there without a manager. To keep the dockside business from being shuttered, the town stepped in and took over. That arrangement continued for 15 years. After investing approximately $2 million of taxpayer money in the industry over those 15 years, the town council voted last year to suspend that operation. “We’ve committed to keeping shrimping alive and culturally viable in the Lowcountry,” Willis said. “There are very few publicly owned seafood docks in South Carolina, even in the Southeast. We’re one of the only ones left.” As of press time, officials from the Southern Shrimp Alliance had not responded to requests for comment on this story.

home within the municipalities weren’t paying. So, the county argument goes, it’s all about equity. It’s not this simple of course. Some impact fees have been in place for several years – like the library impact fees which aren’t charged in the city of Beaufort or Port Royal because at one point, county was talking about moving the library headquarters on Scott Street out of the city and into a more central location. The issue has come to a head, so to speak, when the County Council agreed last summer to a new impact fee for school construction, at the request of the school board, but just in the southern part of the county, the South of the Broad area. The municipalities of Bluffton, Hilton Head Island and Hardeeville (yes, Hardeeville which has annexed its way into Beaufort County by leaps and bounds) balked. And the school board – according to the County Council – didn’t do anything to help promote the idea. So here we are,

gonna drop the whole idea. Which is almost funny when you consider how many new homes have been built in the past decade that didn’t pay those particular impact fees. Funny unless you think of the tax dollars current homeowners did pay to provide additional services for not just schools but libraries, parks and recreation programs, fire services and road projects. This discussion isn’t over. Will the municipalities “come to the table” in a reconciliation mood of “let’s all work together to figure this out?” Will the concerned public come out at the next County Council meeting (April 25) to express their outrage? Or will the crowd that rallied against a proposed donut drive-through on Lady’s Island sit this one out? Stay tuned.

If you want to request a payment plan agreement from the SCDOR, you must not have an active levy or garnishment with the agency, and you must first receive a notice. As part of the agreement with the SCDOR you must: • File and pay all returns in full going forward. • Have a bank account. • Allow bank drafts for your payments. If a payment is rejected by your bank, your agreement will be in default. • File and pay any estimated income taxes. • Provide any additional in-
development. While Yemassee expands its boundaries farther into northern Beaufort County almost every month, the Hardeeville town council is currently considering an annexation request for 2,231 acres near Latitudes Margaritaville and Sun City. The Karrh tract, as it’s called, is planned for 3,354 new homes plus 40 acres of commercial space. The property in question happens to be in Jasper County but the developers obviously want a deal from the town of Hardeeville they don’t think the county will give them. Over half the property acreage is considered wetlands and located at the headwaters of the New River, a cherished body of water that adheres to no political boundaries. The Coastal Conservation League is speaking out against the annexation and the massive development. “Risky and environmentally destructive” is what they’re calling it. Anyone who’s paddled on that river or just enjoyed the view driving along S.C. Highway 26 should feel the same. One more lovely wooded Lowcountry tract headed for annihilation.

Daufuskie ferry, fiscal autonomy highlight delegation meeting BLUFFTON – It was nice to see Beaufort County’s legislative delegation – at least the state House portion of it – sit down together this week and ponder the business of the area. The state Senators, that would be Tom Davis, Marjorie Bright-Matthews and Chip Campsen, weren’t present; they were in Columbia doing the work of the state Senate. Plus none of them are running for re-election this year. The delegation meetings which are held periodically here in the county, can be interesting, if you like to watch government “at work.” For example, the state Representatives were asked for their blessing by county officials to bless an effort to change legislation which would allow the Palmetto Breeze to take over the Daufuskie Island ferry service. The county’s been struggling to provide public ferry service to the isolated barrier island for decades – just read Pat Conroy. More recently, they’ve been looking for an embarkation point in the Hilton Head/ Bluffton area to replace the existing, “temporary” location at Buckingham Landing.

County officials told the delegation they’re looking at a $15 to $16 million answer to that question. They also reported tourism interest in Daufuskie continues to grow, drawing more than 100,000 visitors in the past year. The county elected officials have obviously been talking about the problem in executive session – deals with property purchases and contractual matters – but bringing it to the feet of the delegation might help. The delegation also heard a plea from two school board members, speaking as individuals, urging them to support the board’s efforts to gain fiscal autonomy from the County Council in setting taxes for their annual budget. For newcomers, the push for fiscal autonomy by the school board, has been going on for decades and maybe, one day, just might happen. The board members also asked for changes to public school hiring regulations which they argued have partially contributed to Beaufort County public schools currently having 260 qualified teaching vacancies.
see an “old familiar face” in the Beaufort County Council chambers earlier this week. Former County Attorney Ladson Howell was in the house, not to give free legal advice but to advocate for one of his passions – fishing, i.e. boat ramps. Howell whose firm Howell, Hughes and Gibson served for years as outside legal counsel for the county, spends his time fishing now. He made the trip to a council meeting to try to clarify questions raised by the county’s current in-house legal staff about legal title of some of the 25 county boat landings. Because of prescriptive easements, the county does have legal title to all the landings, Howell said. While he was there he added he’d like to see better maintenance by the county at those landings. “You’ve got pot holes there so big I can’t back my trailer in there except at high tide,” he told the elected officials.

Public meeting addresses stormwater, traffic issues in Shell Point
By Tony Kukulich Stormwater and traffic problems took center stage when Beaufort County Councilmember Alice Howard met with residents from the Shell Point community last week. Howard, who represents District 4, provided updates on studies related to both of those topics as well as efforts under way to rectify the identified problems. “Shell Point has had stormwater issues for a very long time,” Howard said. “The houses were built in the ’60s and ’70s, the majority of them. There was an existing ditch system when they were built, but it’s become overgrown. Some of it ran behind the houses. Some of it ran in front of the houses. We’ve had some public meetings about that. It’s been a process, several years. Now we’re at the point where we need to do major work.” To help determine what that work should be, the county engaged a stormwater study in 2020, and it was completed the following year. Its intent was to ascertain where the problems were and how they could be remediated. The study looked at current conditions and what conditions could look like 50 years in the future. The forward-looking portion of the study considered how the area’s drainage system would operate if improvements were made and if no
upgrades were implemented. “There are several different jurisdictions that have infrastructure in that 800-acre neighborhood. We’ve got state roads,” Beaufort County Stormwater Manager Katie Herrera. “We’ve got county roads. We’ve got county easements, and there’s also the Town of Port Royal. It’s mostly residential, but there are some commercial projects within our study area. Over Shannon time, there Offredi has been a consistency of complaints about drainage issues and flooding.” The research ultimately spawned eight projects intended to resolve problems in the Shell Point neighborhood. A memo from Herrera to Howard dated April 6 estimated a total project cost in excess of $4 million and stated that an application for a grant had been submitted to the South Carolina Emergency Management Division for funding through the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program.

from page A1 started his research by contacting prominent historians including the late Eugene Lyon and Paul E. Hoffman at Louisiana State University, leading scholars on 16th century Spanish settlement efforts in America. “After you find the two guys, then what you have to do is read everything they have written,” explained Ferguson. “Then you go after the documents. Then you start putting the puzzle together. It’s exactly like a puzzle, but this one is complicated because it goes over 65 years and the data is basically 500 years old. Eventually this puzzle comes together.” According to Ferguson, much of the study of early European expeditions to America don’t look into the motivation for those expeditions. “I wanted to find out what
the forces were. What I found out is that nobody knew what was going on. The story is unbelievable.” The Spanish and French were exploring the shoreline of what is now the southeastern United States in the 16th century. Both countries were intent on establishing forts and settlements to keep the other out of the region. The Spanish explored the South Carolina coast in the mid1520s. The area – including Hilton Head Island and Port Royal Sound – was named Punta Santa Elena, and the Spanish saw it as key to their future plans. Ferguson noted that in 1529, the Spanish map of North America included only one named location – Punta Santa Elena. French maps marked the same location by 1543. Spain attempted to settle an area north of Charleston as early as 1526, but the initiative collapsed after just a few months due to bad weather, disease and attacks from Na-
tually going to construction,” Herrera said. “So, it’s a multiyear project.” Drainage problems in the area can be attributed to a number of sources. Poor maintenance of the drainage ditches is a prime factor. The elevation of the neighborhood is another contributing issue. Because the neighborhood is very flat, floodwater tends to drain slowly. The low elevation also makes it possible for the marsh to enter the drainage pipes and ditches during flood events and flow into the residential areas instead of the other way around. Additionally, the drainage systems were designed for the environment of 50 or 60 years ago, they are simply overmatched by current conditions. “The drainage conveyances just aren’t large enough to convey the flooding that the area experiences,” said Julianna Corbin, Beaufort County environmental engineer. “The need for larger drainage conveyances is more real now than ever.” Because of the cost involved, the eight projects will likely not be taken on all at once, and according to Herrera, projects on property for which the county is responsi-
tive Americans. The French got a toehold established with the construction of Charlesfort on Parris Island around 1562. They were unable to keep the fort supplied and it was abandoned after just a few years. That failed effort set the stage for a race between the French and Spanish to establish viable settlements on the continent. “To think that there was a race to first settle the United States and control North America, a race.” Ferguson said. “As you dig, you get into the details of the race. You find spies’ reports that nobody ever heard about that said the Spanish knew the French were coming, and the French knew the Spanish were coming.” In “American Conquistador,” Ferguson provides those details and presents the narrative of France’s Gaspard Coligny and Spain's Pedro Menendez, two key players in that race whose lives shared some remarkable par-
ble are taking top priority. “They’ve committed to get the design work done for everything,” Howard explained. “Then we can divide and conquer. That’s where we are on the stormwater. It sounds like a long process, but it really isn’t because it’s been a problem forever.” While traffic issues haven’t been as pervasive as the stormwater issues, Howard said that there have been issues with speeding, especially since the Montessori school opened on Broad River Drive. Speeding issues on Broad River Drive and Shell Point Road were brought to a head when a child in that area was struck by a speeding driver. That incident led to a traffic study by the South Carolina Department of Transportation (DOT) which focused on traffic in the vicinity of the intersection of those two roads. Some residents questioned why the study was not done more broadly. Howard answered that speeding issues have been the worst in that area. “DOT did a study,” Howard said. “We were hoping we’d get a four-way stop. But, they didn’t do it while school was in session. They did it while they were on spring break last year. We didn’t get a four-way stop, but they did lower the speed limit to 25, which helps.” The study also looked at speed calming devices, like speed bumps. Howard said that DOT is reluctant to use speed calming devices, and they require the approval of 85 percent of the residents in the area of their intended use before they will be deployed. “If we get 85 percent of the residents to sign that they want these speed calming devices, the county will have to pay for them, not DOT,” Howard said. “They won’t pay for them.” An effort to collect the signatures is under way. If eventually approved by the DOT, it will be the onus of the county to secure funding. Tony Kukulich is a recent transplant to the Lowcountry.

allels, while they were in other respects polar opposites. As Ferguson describes, the outcome of that race was as much influenced by bravery and fortitude as it was by the vagaries of fate and bad luck. Menendez founded Santa Elena in 1566 on the site of the abandoned Charlesfort settlement. By 1569, a functioning colonial government was established. In addition to a fort, Santa Elena featured a church, shops and artisans supporting a population that included women and children. While St. Augustine was founded in 1565, Ferguson argues that it functioned solely as a military outpost while Santa Elena supported a more complete community. Hoffman made a similar argument. “St. Augustine was essentially nothing more than a garrison,” Hoffman said. “You can get into arguments about what constitutes a settlement. That’s what’s controversial. In some ways it's an unanswerable question between St. Au-
gustine and Santa Elena, except that the preponderance of the married Spaniards are in Santa Elena until after 1576. After that it begins to switch the other way and Santa Elena essentially becomes just a garrison until it’s evacuated in 1587. At that point, St. Augustine becomes the only Spanish settlement on the coast.” With settlements like Santa Elena and St. Augustine in Florida that both predated English settlements further north, Ferguson pondered why the English got credit for establishing the first functioning, self-supported settlements in America. “The point the English made that they were the first to settle America at Jamestown and Plymouth is a myth,” he said. “It was written by the English because they were the first to write the history books. Spain came over here, settled it first. They landed 100 years before the English did. But they were fighting for
Body found in Shell Point From staff reports Human remains were discovered in a wooded area off Broad River Driver in the Shell Point community, Monday evening, April 11. According to a report by the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office, the remains were in an advanced state of decomposition. The identity of the deceased individual has not been released, and a cause of death has not been determined. A forensic autopsy will be conducted by the Medical University of South Carolina to aid in the determination in the manner of death. The discovery of the body in close proximity to a marsh occurred at approximately 6 p.m. Residents of the area were advised to expect an increased law enforcement presence for several hours.
City, county, state to clean logged drain pipes From staff reports The City of Beaufort, Beaufort County, and the South Carolina Department of Transportation are coordinating a major cleanout of drainage pipes in The Point and downtown neighborhoods over the next several weeks with the intention of completing the task by the end of April. The pipes – many clogged by debris or sediment or various objects – were identified as needing to be cleaned out during a study conducted by engineering firm Davis & Floyd last fall. The study was conducted as part of a major downtown stormwater drainage project that is now in the early stages. Project manager Neal Pugliese determined that this cleanout should be done before the beginning of Hurricane Season on June 1, and coordinated efforts with the City, county and SCDOT. Next week, Beaufort County will be working on trouble spots at Henry C. Chamber Waterfront Park and the Downtown Marina. The following week, most of the other work should take place, Pugliese said. No detours or closed streets are expected, he said, but drivers and pedestrians should be aware that they may encounter some heavy equipment on downtown streets and streets in The Point. their existence. They weren’t writing any reports. But the English were.” Ferguson’s book is neither historical novel, nor is it a textbook. It manages to straddle some middle ground between the two. “What he’s done is create an exciting narrative that is beyond what academic historians do,” Rowland said. “It’s not a novel. It’s genuine history. Here’s the point. The book is completely footnoted. He tells you exactly what sources he uses to find these stories. He just presents them in a very dramatic kind of way.” Ferguson will host a book signing at The Arsenal on Craven Street in Beaufort, Tuesday, April 26 at 5 p.m. Tony Kukulich is a recent transplant to the Lowcountry.

Does hair texture change with age?
As a person ages, the texture of their hair can change. Hair can also become thinner and people may experience hair loss. Different people’s hair changes in different ways as they age. Hair follicles, which are unique structures that grow hairs, are present in a person’s skin. These follicles can change over time, which can cause a person’s hair to change as they age. Hair changes can also occur due to environmental exposure and physical stress. As a person ages, their hair may become less thick and change in texture. Weathered hair: As people grow older, their hair can become more weathered. This means that several environmental factors can cause damage to the structure of the hair, resulting in hair that is not as shiny, elastic, or as strong as it was previously. These environmental factors include exposure to: • ultraviolet (UV) light • humidity • wind • chemicals in hair products • chemicals in hair treatments These factors can impact the growth and texture of individual hair fibers. These factors can also exacerbate the natural decrease in hair density that is related to aging. African American women and children are more likely to use hair products that companies advertise to
<a href="https://www.freepik.com/vectors/hair-growth"> Hair growth vector created by freepik moisturize hair, promote hair growth, and chemically relax or straighten hair that is naturally curly. Over time, these products can cause damage to hair fibers, making the hair more prone to breakage. A person’s hair may also tolerate these chemicals less as the hair ages and becomes less resilient to damage. Reduced hair diameter: As a person ages, their individual hairs are likely to reduce in diameter. A decrease in hair diameter causes a reduction in tensile hair strength. This makes the hair weaker and more prone to breaking. The diameter of the hair decreases at different rates and
times among different groups of people. One review states that the diameter of white people’s hair increases until they are around 40 years old. It then plateaus when a person is in their early 40s and proceeds to decrease from then onward. The same review states that studies have reported a decrease in hair diameter after 40 years of age in Japanese women and after 50 years of age in Korean people. The review adds that there have been no particular studies into the decrease in the diameter of coily hair. Reduced hair density: It is typical to lose between 50– 100 hairs each day. The body
continually sheds old hair and new hair grows from the follicles. As people age, some follicles may stop producing new hairs, which can cause hair density to decrease. The density of hair on a person’s head is defined as the number of hair fibers per centimeter (cm). Another name for the reduction in hair density is hair loss. As people get older and their hair density decreases it can cause their hair to appear thinner. This can lead to baldness developing as hair continues to thin over time. A person’s hair density often peaks at age 35 and begins to decline after then. The average density of head hair in those of African descent is less than that of white people and those of Asian descent. As the density decreases with age in those of African descent, people may begin to perceive hair loss after approximately 50% of their hairs are gone. Can the changes be prevented? The texture of hair changes naturally as a person ages. However, when it comes to hair loss and reduced hair density, there are some medications that a person can take. These medications may reduce a person’s chances of developing hair that is less dense. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves minoxidil and finasteride as treatments for hair loss. The FDA has also cleared HairMax LaserComb as a possible treatment for hair loss. A
person can also help protect to their hair from weathering in a number of ways. These include: • preventing exposure to UV light • preventing exposure to humidity and wind • preventing exposure to chemicals in hair products • preventing exposure to chemicals in some hair treatments • washing their hair the recommended amount with shampoo • conditioning their hair when shampooing To reduce the chance of developing weathered, damaged hair, a person should focus on caring for their hair. Haircare tips: There are a number of steps a person can take to care for their hair and reduce their chance of hair damage over time. Below are some steps that a person may wish to follow: • Frequently wash oily hair. If a person has an oily scalp, then they may need to wash their hair as often as once a day. As a person ages, their scalp produces less oil, meaning they may need to wash it less often over time. • Concentrate on the scalp when shampooing. A person should concentrate on cleaning their scalp with shampoo rather than the entire length of their hairs. Only washing the hair itself can cause it to be-
come dull or coarse. • Use conditioner. Conditioner use can improve the look of damaged hair, improve hair strength, and protect hair from harmful UV rays. • Protect hair when swimming. A person should wet and condition their hair before swimming to help prevent damage from chlorine. A person may also wish to wear a tight-fitting swimming cap in order to prevent hair from coming into contact with the water. After swimming a person should wash and condition their hair to help replace any lost moisture. Hair color changes: A person’s hair can also become gray as they get older. Melanin is a pigment-producing component that produces melanocyte cells. These cells play a role in the color of a person’s hair. As people get older, they lose melanin. This means they produce less melanocyte cells, which causes their hair to lighten and turn gray as they get older.

Nutritional Tips to Help get Fit for Summer
Looking to get fit for summer? A registered dietitian has some helpful advice to keep in mind as you start your weight loss journey.
If you’re looking to get fit for summer, you may be wondering where to begin—especially with so many different dieting tips out there. But, Kristin Kirkpatrick, registered dietitian with Cleveland Clinic, said eating healthy doesn’t have to be complicated. “I think where we can start
is alright, let’s think about limiting our hours in which we’re eating, let’s think about eating more fiber, more plants, less hyper-palatable foods, less processed foods,” said Kirkpatrick. “So that’s kind of a nice high-level way to start looking at how we’re going to make some dietary change.” Kirkpatrick said that’s not to say you must give up junk food completely, just make sure you are eating healthy 90% of the time. And don’t be fooled by those fad diets claiming you can lose a bunch of weight in a short period of time. They are not sustainable long term.
So, what diets actually work? She said intermittent fasting can be a good option, which means you only eat during a certain time frame each day. For example, between the hours of 10 a.m. and six p.m. The Mediterranean diet and DASH diet have also proven to work. Another helpful tip is to think about your hunger level before eating. “Really just kind of listening to our hunger. Am I hungry right now or am I looking to feed emotion? Am I just dehydrated? So really taking the time from a mindfulness perspective of am I feeling

true hunger and if I am feeling true hunger, I am going to eat,” said Kirkpatrick. “But I am going to eat until I no longer feel that hunger, which means eating slow, chewing more, taking out distractions and being able to stop before I feel that feeling of fullness.” Kirkpatrick said it may also be tempting to set a deadline to reach your goal weight, but that’s not always attainable. Instead, focus on the physical changes to your body, like improvements to your waistline or fitting into old jeans.

HEALTH & WELLNESS Options & References for a Healthier Life
Heading to the park or duck pond to feed the ducks is a very old and popular family pastime; it’s a fun, free activity and a great way for parents and children to see and appreciate wildlife and nature. What may seem like a fun and harmless pastime is very bad for waterfowl. Most people don't realize that bread, rolls, chips, and other human "snack food" items do not offer the proper nutrition that ducks and geese need—and that the act of feeding a diet heavy in breads and other empty carbohydrates can lead to severe health consequences and a variety of other problems. Wild ducks and geese feed on a variety of grains and grasses, aquatic plants, and invertebrates, all naturally found in the wild. When eaten in combination, these foods are nutritionally balanced and provide everything a wild duck or goose needs to survive. In contrast, foods commonly fed to waterfowl in public parks, such as bread, crackers, popcorn, and corn, are typically low in protein and essential nutrients and minerals (such as calcium and phosphorus). While a single feeding of these “junk foods” may not harm waterfowl, it adds up! If everyone visiting a park “only” gives a few pieces of bread or crackers to ducks and geese, it quickly becomes the bulk of what wild waterfowl consume, and results in a variety of nutritional disorders. Ducks, geese and other waterfowl in public parks are often admitted to wildlife rehabilitation centers with metabolic bone disease (MBD). Birds with MBD
Death at the duckpond have incredibly soft bones and joints that are often malformed and fractured; these injuries are caused by an overall calcium deficiency in the body, which is linked to an inappropriate diet. Calcium also plays a crucial role in the formation of eggs/offspring, clotting ability, cardiovascular and neuromuscular function, and a variety of other metabolic activities. Birds with MBD are often so malformed they cannot fly and become dependent on handouts, completing a vicious cycle. Affected birds are typically too weak to compete for food and defend themselves and are often the victims of aggressive attacks by other ducks and geese. Another common issue with ducks and geese in public parks is “angel wing”—a condition where the ends of an affected bird’s flight feathers are twisted upward. “Angel wing” occurs when ducks and geese grow abnormally quickly; the affected birds’ joints don’t fully form as the wing and feathers develop and the weight of the growing feathers rotates the tip of the bird’s wing. If caught in initial stages, waterfowl suffering from this condition may be treated with splints to guide bone growth in the correct position. Although there are several theories regarding the causes of “angel wing”, some studies suggest that diets high in protein may be to blame. Well-meaning citizens feeding commercial duck, chicken, or turkey feed to avoid the “junk food” may be unintentionally creating this disorder. One more problem with bread products is that this type of food expands in water—and the stomach—which
gives ducks and geese an artificial feeling that they are full. As a result, these birds may not feel motivated to continue foraging on natural foods of higher nutritional value.
Habitat Degradation
There are also environmental issues related to artificially increasing the number of ducks and geese in each area. Larger numbers of waterfowl in a small area can seriously impact the surrounding environment. Feces generated by overcrowded waterfowl, especially in a pond that has poor wa-
ter flow, result in increased deposition of carbon, phosphorus, and nitrogen in the water and surrounding grasslands. The addition of these nutrients to water (a process known as eutrophication) promotes excessive algae growth, leading to decreased oxygen levels, foul-smelling green and cloudy water, fish kills, and an overall decrease in water quality. Some common algae species (bluegreen algae) even produce toxins associated with illness in wildlife, humans, and pets. Certain species of waterfowl may also be destructive to the environment, due to their natural foraging strategies. Canada geese graze on grass and other low-growing plants and, when in large flocks, often destroy lawns and gardens surrounding city ponds. If these birds cannot find enough food, they often migrate short distances to golf courses, sports fields, and other grassy public areas yet still use the public park as a “home base”. Increased waterfowl populations can also lead to erosion of shorelines and a general negative public opinion of ducks and geese. In the wild, a healthy fear of humans and other poten-
tial predators allows ducks and geese to survive and reproduce. In public settings where waterfowl are fed artificial diets, these birds often lose this fear and are more likely to be consumed by predators (feral cats, dogs, alligators, raccoons, etc). Urban waterfowl may also be more likely to be hit by vehicles, entangled in litter, and maliciously harmed by humans. Habituated geese can pose a significant public health threat at certain times of the year if they are defending a nesting female or a brood of goslings. These habituated geese can seriously hurt humans, particularly children. Allowing ducks and geese to find their own wild, nutritionally balanced diet is best—for the health of waterfowl and the surrounding environment. For those who would like to slowly stop feeding waterfowl: the least problematic foods mimic the waterfowl’s natural diet—greens and insects. Chopped up greens [kale, collards, dandelions (only from pesticide-free yards)] are more nutritious than any junk food, including corn. Ducks and geese eat in-
sects too—so a special treat of mealworms or freeze-dried crickets would also likely be enjoyed! But the bottom line is that wild ducks and geese should be able to find plenty of food on their own—so if you can resist the temptation to feed, simply pack your binoculars and camera and enjoy watching the birds. Instead of feeding ducks and geese: • Pick up trash at your local park. • Collect stray fishing hooks, lines, and sinkers. • Learn more about native ducks and geese and their natural history. • Spread the word! Share this information with others. If your local park/duckpond has a problem with feeding, contact your parks and recreation office and work together to put up educational signs. In Beaufort, SC contact Parks Supervisor at 843470-3513.

SPORTS Eagles wrap up second straight region crown LowcoSports.com It wasn’t as easy as the final score indicated, but Beaufort High’s boys tennis team clinched its second straight Region 7-4A title with a 6-0 sweep of James Island last week. The Eagles won all six courts — three of them in straight sets — but there were a trio of set tiebreakers and three pro-sets to decide the winner in threeset marathons. Graeme Angus cruised to a 6-2, 6-2 win at No. 1 and Bodie Daniel won a tough two-setter at No. 4, but the rest of the Eagles had to work overtime to earn their points. Diego Alvarez took a first-set tiebreaker at No. 1 before dropping the second set and needing a third, Tucker Martin and Joseph Combs rallied to win at Nos. 3 and 5 after losing their first sets, and Casey Hoogenboom and Charlie Bowden won two set tiebreakers for a straightsets win at No. 2 doubles. The Eagles improved to 10-2 overall and 10-0 in region matches. Singles Graeme Angus def. Neo James 6-2, 6-2 Diego Alvarez def. Jonah Haller 7-6 (7-0), 5-7, 10-5 Tucker Martin def.

HT, Eagles golfers earn medalist honors LowcoSports.com Holy Trinity’s Bray Sheehan set a school record with a 5-under-par 67 on Wednesday at the Legends at Parris Island golf course to earn medalist honors in a SCISA region meet, and Beaufort High’s Jack Lubkin took the top spot in the SCHSL Region 7-4A meet Thursday at Pinecrest Golf Club in Bluffton. Hilton Head Prep breezed to another team title on Wednesday, firing a school-record round of 6-under-par 282 behind matching 69s from Tag Graziano and Jeep Patrick, but Sheehan’s record round led the Mighty Lions to a second-place finish at 321, 13 shots clear of Beaufort Academy. John Paul II’s Gabe Schmitz shot 69 to tie the HHP duo for second. A day later, another Beaufort golfer went low, as Lubkin shot 38 at Pinecrest to edge a trio of golfers by two shots. Jerry Bruns and Jack Sumner each shot 41, and Gus Christian’s 47 rounded out the scoring for the Eagles, whose team score of 167 was good for second place, three shots behind May River.
Defense dooms Beaufort High to two more region losses LowcoSports.com The hot start has given way to a rough patch for Beaufort High’s softball team, and some shoddy defense has been the biggest culprit. The Eagles made 10 errors in a pair of region defeats at home last week, falling 9-4 to May River and dropping a 9-3 decision to Colleton County. The Sharks took advantage of three Beaufort errors to score five unearned runs and finish off a two-game sweep of the Eagles. May River did its share of damage at the plate, too, as Casey Laing continued her torrid hitting, going 2-for-4 with a homer and scoring twice in the leadoff spot, while Charlotte Berkley was 2-for-4 with two RBIs and scored twice and Olivia Nagel had a hit and knocked in three runs.

Rebecca Folsom plays music to inspire
By Margit Resch Do you know Rebecca Folsom? She has relatives and friends in Beaufort, and I thought you may have had the good fortune to hear her play and sing for them on one of her visits from Colorado. Then you would already know that she is an amazing singer, an amazing guitarist, an amazing songwriter. You will have another chance to hear her again, to be entranced by her incredible voice, by her masterful skills as a guitarist, by her halo of beauty, and by her message of love and peace when she comes to Fripp Island at 5 p.m., Sunday, April 24. Folsom has ambitious goals when she writes, composes and performs her poetic and beautiful songs about life with all its joys and sorrows, about love and heartbreak, freedom and redemption, about her ardent wish that all of us work together towards a united world community, toward peace on earth. “My aim is to awaken and uplift people,” she said. “It is important to look at the realities going on in the world today, socially and politically. But it is equally of value
Rebecca Folsom will perform at Fripp Island Community Centre on Sunday, April 24. Submitted photo. to laugh and spread comfort and joy.” And Folsom certainly knows how to reach those goals, especially how to spread comfort and joy, happiness and laughter, believe those lucky people who’ve already heard her. “I want to help people, in whatever form I can,” she said, “break down barriers, to help people free themselves
to live more openly, authentically, and with confidence that their dreams are possible and truly valued.” And what a voice. It spans nearly four octaves, flows from lilting tenderness to unbridled release, has the soulfulness of Etta James, the abandon of Janis Joplin, and the folksy characteristics of Joni Mitchell, all qualities
reminiscent of old Appalachia and bluegrass artists. The stories Folsom tells in her songs, especially in her latest album, Sanctuary, reflect her own transformational, heartbreaking and heart-warming journey. A journey from homeless girl in Boulder, Colo., where she suffered poverty and loneliness, gender inequality and addiction, to widely admired and richly rewarded musical performer and songwriter. By now she has 25 years of touring success and 10 wonderful CDs. Her own songs have ranked as high as No. 4 on the national Folk DJ chart. “Better Times” was named number 1 Best Folk Song. Her music, be it solo or with her band (the Rebecca Folsom Band is composed of five ultra-talented musicians steeped in Southern Delta grooves), have attracted thousands of fans to venues like BBC Radio, television in Ireland, Nashville’s Bluebird Cafe, Opryland, New York’s Bitter End, Tin Pan South stages, the Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado, and the Falcon Ridge Music Festival in Texas. Her reviews, both by the
audience – given the usual standing ovations – and by the critics, are, without fail, excellent. “Rebecca is a wonderful singer with a great range and a fine array of original tunes,” said Sam Bush, mandolinist and recent inductee into the International Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame. And KUNC Radio raved, “Very few musicians can take you from tender ballads to a knock-you-to-your-knees blues. Rebecca does – she is a performer to watch.” Folsom’s talents are not limited to music, to being a songwriter and a touring musician. Not surprisingly, she has published two books of inspirational poetry. And she is an accomplished painter who has shown her work in numerous art galleries. She has also been teaching song-writing and conducting workshops on the Art of Vocal Freedom. A renaissance woman, amazing in every way. But, Folsom muses, “what thrills me most is being on stage singing, with people connecting and loving the music, having their hearts opened, dancing, singing along. I absolutely love it.”

Beaufort artist holding 1st solo exhibition
From staff reports Beaufort artist Aaron Glenn Miller will host the first solo exhibition of his paintings from 5 to 7 p.m., Friday, April 15, at Basecamp Gallery at 500 Carteret Street. Miller’s series of paintings is called Lowcountry Waters.
“The Lowcountry is a unique place steeped in mystery and wonder. Water surrounds the sea islands of coastal South Carolina, and in many ways the water defines all living things that inhabit the area. From the beaches of Hilton Head and Hunting Island, to the tidal
creeks and estuaries Beaufort and Lady's Island, there are so many rich textures to experience and places to ponder,” Miller said in a release. “From the time I first came here, I have been drawn to the rivers, marshes, and beaches of this place, with their songs and their se-
crets. In this series, I tried to capture the spirit of the waters and the essence of this amazing place.” Wine, beer, and light refreshments will be served at the exhibition. For more information about the artwork on display, please visit aaronglennmiller.com.

Fiction often preferred to real life
dulthood brings about interesting days chocked full of challenges. These times require a certain finesse, hours devoted to nothing more than feigning enthusiasm over things sparsely speckled with such lackluster minutes. The brain seemingly converts to autopilot until that rare occasion where reality is so odd that fiction becomes preferred. Similar to childlike play with the addition of consequences, public opinion, prolonged head shaking, side-eyeing, and mouth gaping. The weather was already making headlines and ruining plans, so it could be the barometric pressure that promoted a wrinkle in time experienced last Tuesday. The river was churning, dark clouds looming, and crowds moving in an orchestrated symphony, setting the stage for a calamity of characters. My involvement began with a familiar afternoon craving for chocolate. Because I live and work in this most beautiful fishbowl,
I

a disclaimer is an excellent idea before attempting to recount the micro catastrophes, indiscernible conversations, and the particularly cluttered corners of humanity. My account may be vastly different than many other passers-by matter of fact; it would not be shocking if all versions were vastly different. Our brains can only absorb so much weirdness before smoothing the edges, blurring the lines, and blanketing us from the cold air of absurdity. Omitting names, verbiage, and titles will preclude my banishment from the fishbowl I love dearly. Shortening the microcosm of mayhem is the only way
to fit the restraints of my column. When time allows me to write a book, this day will enjoy far more explanation, more accuracy, and less concern over protecting the not so innocent. It began with a miscalculation of the actual girth of a vehicle and possibly ill-advised midday use of vegetation. Any story that starts that way deserves at least a chapter; however, I proceed with focus and caution. Most business owners are experts in ignoring snippets of weirdness on most occasions. However, this was an exception. Fear of absolute failure to communicate the whirlwind of events without pages allotted to detail, I will hit the high points. Proper use of vegetation is subjective; I prefer midday greens in a salad, but who am I to judge. On most days, I am fully aware of the girth of my vehicle; however, in times of distress, panic, and complete avoidance, I too have tapped a tree, bush, or unreturned grocery cart. As
of today, I have not hit a local business after eating a salad. I am sure it is as common as a cold, but it has eluded me so far. In my opinion, the not so gentle rattling of a building was the lid to Pandora's box; once opened, all hell broke loose. Being just steps from this fast-moving train wreck of humanity, determining which catastrophe to assist, watch and donate brain cells to understanding was an enormous chore. One moment I was fearful of becoming a hood ornament, and the next led to an emotion not yet defined. A car hit a building; a crowd moved so quickly that a man in a wheelchair ran over a woman leaving her face down, steps from a running car temporarily attached to the sweetest building downtown. It was a lot to absorb. Nurses, business owners, and strangers leapt into action to balance the bizarre with bravery. Unfortunately, the first concern was the woman who took the brunt
of a fearful crowd frantically trying to escape the same fate as the nearby building. She was cared for by off-duty nurses and kind strangers in a split second. Knowing better than to be in the way, I contributed by holding a stroller with a Shitzu, unaffected and unimpressed by the unfolding circus. In a rush, I had failed to realize I was not shielding a toddler from harsh images; I was talking calmly to a Shitzu. I am confident that Shitzu's mental well-being is perfectly intact due to my efforts. While holding on to the stroller carrying the only calm being within yards, other unfortunate witnesses ran to encourage the driver of the car ever so gently stuck to the building to turn it off rather than continue moving the immovable and terrifying those offering care to the injured. What may seem like an eternity was likely only minutes. The gamut of human emotion, differing responses
to stress, and perception of the catalyst were as individual as the facial expressions changing by the minute. Always trying to find the lesson, I offer these few tips. Don't enter an alley you can't properly exit. No matter how hard you press the gas, buildings won't move. When blessed with luck rarely given to most, don't push it with the desire to save half-eaten chicken nuggets from a vehicle in the process of being towed. Wheelchairs are vehicles in their own right and can run over pedestrians. When chaos ensues, find the nearest Shitzu; they are remarkably calm creatures. Lastly, shop small.

Even the Russian army runs on its stomach
t is Sunday, early, crisp. The fighting in Ukraine continues — the Ukrainian infantry mastering the Javelin, Strela and Stinger anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles. These quickly-acquired skills have, incredibly, checkmated the Russian T-90, T-80 and T-72 tanks that have rolled into combat. “After its first lightening strike failed, Russia switched to one of its old standbys; using artillery. Most Russian artillery strikes use unguided weapons that can exact a huge human toll when attacking cities — without necessarily achieving any useful strategic objective,” says the Wall Street Journal this Sunday morning. Russia’s cruise missiles — the Iskander and the ship-launched Kalibr — can be controlled. They are also accurate. The Iskander’s accuracy (CEP) is 5 to 7 meters. This means that half of the
SCOTT GRABER
Iskanders fired will land within a circle 5 to 7 meters wide. Which means that the high-rise apartment buildings — the Soviet-styled blocks where most Ukrainians live — are being deliberately targeted. The use of cruise missiles seems to be consistent with the (old) Soviet habit that routinely reduced many ancient (European) cities to cement dust in World War II. In those days the Soviet army favored the 122 and 152 mm howitzer—and now their grandsons still maintain these (upgraded) weapons in their reserves. In WWII they often
deployed these howitzers in mass formation, concentrating up to 200 guns per kilometer. They concentrated the fire of these guns on relatively small parts of the battlefield turning that topography into a moonscape. They also used massed rockets — the infamous Katyusha — which was carried into combat on 2 1/2 ton Studebaker trucks. A battery could fire its entire load in 7 seconds, delivering 4.3 tons of explosives onto an area of 400,000 square kilometers, having the same effect as if they had massed 72 howitzers. Film of the Soviet army launching these inaccurate, indiscriminate, building-busting rockets into Berlin is still ubiquitous on the internet. In the Battle of Berlin, the Soviets began shelling on April 20, 1945, and didn’t stop until their troops were over-running Templehof Airport. These massed guns dropped more total tonnage
on Berlin than was dropped during the entirety of World War II by Allied bombers. But there is a problem with this kind of warfare. In 1944 and 1945 it was hard for the Soviets to keep their howitzers supplied with shells. Artillery shells are heavy — 100 pounds or more — and getting hundreds of thousands of these shells to the front is extremely hard. These rockets and shells were a priority and would often bump combat rations and sulfa drugs to the back of the line. This problem seems to persist. The American army had its own re-supply problems. George Patton’s tanks, however inferior they were to the German Tigers, sometimes outdistanced their supply of diesel fuel. The Army Transportation Corps, including the late Frank Osmanski (a retired general who lived in Beaufort for many years) came up with
a concept that involved 5,458 trucks hauling thousands of tons of fuel and ammunition from the port in Antwerp to wherever in France that Patton’s tanks happened to be fighting. In 1991 I wrote,
“Once this huge army was ashore in France, he (Osmanski) devised the plan to keep it supplied as it marched through France and Germany. With 36 divisions on the continent Osmanski was faced with getting 20,000 tons of supplies from the beaches of Normandy, to the front. He conceived the “Red Ball” one way roads, the location of storage depots and flexible fuel pipes under the English Channel. At one point Osmanski told Eisenhower that Patton was ahead of the plan and his tanks would run out of fuel. Patton was told to stop. Osmanski did what Von Rundstedt could not do … he stopped George Patton.” Vladimir Putin’s often-cit-
ed argument is that Ukraine is a “fake country” inhabited by ethnic Russians — the same argument Hitler made about Sudetenland. But Vlad’s real argument is that Russia is entitled to a buffer country that would keep invading armies out of the Russian heartland. He also believes in total — level the cities — artillery warfare that most of the Western world now labels “war crimes.” Notwithstanding these beliefs, Putin has yet to master the art of keeping his own T-80 tanks topped off with fuel and keeping his men in black bread and sausages. Putin is said to be a voracious reader — perhaps he missed Frederick the Great’s comment. “An army runs on its stomach.” Scott Graber is a lawyer, novelist, veteran columnist and longtime resident of Port Royal.

LIVING ON PURPOSE

The Passion of Christ is God’s amazing grace
pril is the month of new beginnings when trees begin to sprout their leaves and flowers emerge from the ground to express their beauty. This is also the time when we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. God’s infinite love for us is the foundation of the Christian faith for without Jesus being raised to conquer death, hell, and the grave, He would have been just another courageous martyr. You see, His perfect blood was sprinkled on the mercy seat and was the only payment that was holy and powerful enough to redeem, transform, and purchase the spirits of those who will believe. John 19:30 declares the Son of God cried from the cross, “It is finished” which guaranteed the covenant authority of God’s word is

true and the spiritual reality that eternal salvation is now available for all who hear the gospel, are convicted to repent, and choose to embrace Him by faith. This is why the gospel is called the good news and truly it is the ultimate promise of hope and peace the world needs to hear. Christians experience the life-changing miracle of God so loving the world that He sent His Son to save us from our sins. He desires to restore us back into the
personal fellowship that was lost when Adam and Eve disobeyed Him in the Garden. The greatest love story ever told is recorded in the Bible and many of you have memorized the message found in Matthew 28:5-6 when the angels appeared to the women at the empty tomb. “The angel said to the women, Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here, for He is risen as He said! Come, see the place where they placed His body.” It’s difficult to comprehend just how paramount these words are. It’s critical within our commission to relay this truth, to emphasize the glorious significance of what His sacrifice and resurrection accomplished, what it guarantees for those who believe, and how we can
obtain and have a blessed assurance of these glorious promises today. The Lord has given most of us a good life filled with blessings, but I’m sure you have noticed that no matter how much “stuff” we accumulate, it does not bring spiritual contentment or joy. Material possessions, money, friends, and loved ones can make us happy to a certain extent, but nothing on earth can satisfy or take the place of our personal relationship with God. When we talk about hope, this usually means we are wondering if something is going to turn out the way we want, but there is a spiritual hope empowered by faith where we can definitely know our prayers will be answered without having to worry or be afraid. Romans 15:13 reminds us, “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace
in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” You see, those who trust and know God, have been born again into an eternal inheritance that can never change or fail. Be encouraged today in knowing that when Christ accomplished His mission on the cross and rose from the dead, those who are partakers with Him are preserved by the greatest power and authority in heaven and earth. He is the creator of all things, and is the Alpha and Omega. We do not place our confidence in this earthly realm, but we can completely trust the one who knows everything, created everything, and controls everything. Humans try to build the perfect life without God, but only Christ is truly perfect. He is holy and blameless,

There is a mystery here, unexplainable by science on its own. Since science is the study of the material world, it can help us discover and better understand the laws of nature. But science cannot explain why there are these laws to begin with. Why is the universe ordered? Why are nature’s laws such that we can not only recognize them, but also express them mathematically? The order of the universe calls for an explanation. In our seashell analogy, it is reasonable to expect that someone with an intellect purposefully arranged the shells in this organized and mathematical manner. Similarly, it is reasonable to observe the order built into our universe and conclude that the laws of nature were arranged by an intellect vastly superior to our own. Christians believe that God created the universe with its order, intending for us to understand the laws of nature and rely upon them. The order and beauty of the universe reflects the majesty of its creator.
These laws can even be expressed as mathematical realities. Amazingly, not only can we recognize the laws of nature, but they can also be expressed with mathematical precision. For example, Einstein’s famous equation describes how energy (“E”) equals mass (“m”) times the speed of light (“c”) squared. It is quite remarkable that important laws of nature can be effectively represented in simple and elegant mathematical formulas, allowing us to put them to practical use.

Why Is There Order in the Universe?
The universe operates under recognizable, predictable laws. All scientific work is based on the assumption that the universe operates under laws that remain constant across time and space. For example, the laws of gravity and motion apply throughout the universe and in all time periods. Thus, we can plan to fly in an airplane, trusting that gravity and motion will function the same tomorrow and in each place we travel.

Why is the universe ordered, instead of chaotic? On the beach, we would expect to find the shells randomly distributed, without any order we could identify. It would have been reasonable to expect the universe to exhibit a similar lack of order. After all, if the universe began in an initial, violent explosion from a single point, might we not expect it to act in a random, unpredictable manner? Thankfully, this is not the case.

On the beach, seashells are normally scattered here and there. But imagine walking on the beach and finding that an area of sand is clear of shells, except for some lined up in particular shapes. Getting closer, we see that the shells form the pattern, 3 x 3 = 9. We would naturally conclude that this order did not happen by chance; someone had picked up the shells and arranged them not only to form symbols we can recognize, but also in a way that makes mathematical sense.
