BY BOB SOFALY Athletes from all over the Lowcountry came to the Wardle Family YMCA in Port Royal on Sunday, April 15, to compete in the Special Olympics swim meet. And while each athlete showed a strong desire to win, they also showed respect for each other during all the races.

Two Battery Creek High School employees were arrested Monday, April 16 and charged in connection with an alleged incident that occurred last week.

Following an investigation into incidents of sexual battery with two students and providing alcohol to three minors that occurred at a residence on Lady’s Island between April 9 and April 10, Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office investigators met with a Beaufort County magistrate and obtained warrants for the arrest of a Battery Creek High School English teacher, 28-year-old Brittney Whetzel.

On Monday morning, April 16, investigators located and arrested Whetzel at her Lady’s Island home on the warrants, charging her with two counts of Sexual Battery with a Student and three counts of transfer of beer or wine for an underage person’s consumption.

Whetzel then was transported to the Beaufort County Detention Center and incarcerated; she has yet to receive a bond hearing on the charges as of Tuesday, April 17.

The second teacher, Akina Andrews, a media assistant, was placed on administrative leave last week along with Whetzel after the Beaufort County School District notified the Sheriff’s Office of potential criminal activity, according to School District Director of Communications Jim Foster.

BMH awarded advanced certification Beaufort Memorial Hospital (BMH) has earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval® and the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association’s HeartCheck mark for Advanced Certification for Primary Stroke Centers. The Gold Seal of Approval® and the Heart-Check mark represent symbols of quality from their respective organizations.

“We congratulate Beaufort Memorial Hospital for achieving this designation,” said Nancy Brown, chief executive officer, the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association. “By adhering to this very specific set of treatment guidelines Beaufort Memorial Hospital has clearly made it a priority to deliver high quality care to all patients affected by stroke.”

BMH underwent a rigorous onsite review in February 2018. Joint Commission experts evaluated compliance with stroke-related

standards and requirements, including program management, the delivery of clinical care and performance improvement.

“Beaufort Memorial is pleased to receive advanced certification from The Joint Commission and the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association,” said Russell Baxley, MHA, Beaufort Memorial President & CEO. “The certification provides us with the opportunity to highlight the exceptional stroke care we provide as well as to continually strive to advance our care even further.”

Established in 2003, Advanced Certification for Primary Stroke Centers is awarded for a two-year period to Joint Commission-accredited acute care hospitals. The certification was derived from the Brain Attack Coalition’s “Recommendations for the Establishment of Primary Stroke Centers” ( JAMA, 2000) and the “Revised and Updated Recommen-

WE’VE GOT

HEART

dations for the Establishment of Primary Stroke Centers” (Stroke, 2011).

“Beaufort Memorial Hospital has thoroughly demonstrated the greatest level of commitment to the care of stroke patients through its Advanced Certification for Primary Stroke Centers,” said Patrick Phelan, executive director, Hospital Business Development, The Joint Commission. “We commend Beaufort Memorial Hospital for becoming a leader in stroke care, potentially providing a higher standard of service for stroke patients in its community.”

Stroke is the number four cause of death and a leading cause of adult disability in the United States, according to the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association. On average, someone suffers a stroke every 40 seconds; someone dies of a stroke every four minutes; and 795,000 people suffer a new or recurrent stroke each year.

10 reasons why beneficiary designations are important Beneficiary designations can provide a relatively easy way to transfer an account or insurance policy upon your death. However, if you’re not careful, missing or outdated beneficiary designations can easily cause your estate plan to go awry.

We often complete these designations without giving it much thought, but they’re actually important and deserve careful attention. Here’s why: Beneficiary designations take priority over what’s in other estate planning documents, such as a will or trust.

For example, you may indicate in your will you want everything to go to your spouse after your death. However, if the beneficiary designation on your life insurance policy still names your ex-spouse, he or she may end up getting the proceeds.

Where you can find them Here’s a sampling of where you’ll find beneficiary designations: • Employer-sponsored retirement plans [401(k), 403(b), etc.]

• IRAs • Life insurance policies • Annuities • Transfer-on-death (TOD) investment accounts • Pay-on-death (POD) bank accounts • Stock options and restricted stock • Executive deferred compensation plans Because you’re asked to designate beneficiaries on so many different accounts and insurance products, it can be difficult to keep up. However, it’s worth the effort; failing to

maintain the beneficiary designation on that 401(k) from three employers ago could mean money will go to the wrong place.

When you first set up your estate plan, go over all the designations you previously made and align them with your plan. After that, you should review and update them regularly – a least once a year.

10 tips about beneficiary designations Because beneficiary designations are so important, keep these things in mind in your estate planning: 1. Remember to name beneficiaries. If you don’t name a beneficiary, one of the following could occur: • The account or policy may have to go through probate court. This process often results in unnecessary delays, additional costs, and unfavorable income tax treatment.

• The agreement that controls the account or policy may provide for “default” beneficiaries.

This could be helpful, but it’s possible the default beneficiaries may not be whom you intended.

2. Name both primary and contingent beneficiaries. It’s a good practice to name a “back up” or contingent beneficiary in case the primary beneficiary dies before you. Depending on your situation, you may have only a primary beneficiary. In that case, consider whether a charity (or charities) may

make sense to name as the contingent beneficiary.

Update for life events. Review your beneficiary designations regularly and update them as needed based on major life events, such as births, deaths, marriages, and divorces.

Read the instructions. Beneficiary designation forms are not all alike. Don’t just fill in names – be sure to read the form carefully.

Coordinate with your will and trust.

Whenever you change your will or trust, be sure to talk with your attorney about your beneficiary designations.

Because these designations operate independently of your other estate planning documents, it’s important to understand how the different parts of your plan work as a whole.

Think twice before naming individual beneficiaries for particular assets. For example, you establish three accounts of equal value and name a different child as beneficiary of each.

Over the years, the accounts may grow unevenly, so the children end up getting different amounts – which is not what you originally intended.

Avoid naming your estate as beneficiary. If you designate a beneficiary on your 401(k), for example, it won’t have to go through probate court to be distributed to the beneficiary. If you name your estate as beneficiary, the account will have to go through probate. For IRAs and qualified retirement plans, there may also be unfavorable income tax consequences.

Use caution when naming a trust as beneficiary. Consult your attorney or CPA before naming a trust as beneficiary for IRAs, qualified retirement plans, or annuities. There are situations where it makes sense to name a trust – for example if: • Your beneficiaries are minor children • You’re in a second marriage • You want to control access to funds Even in cases like these, understand the tax consequences before you name a trust as beneficiary.

9. Be aware of tax consequences. Many assets that transfer by beneficiary designation come with special tax consequences. It’s helpful to work with an experienced tax advisor, who can help provide planning ideas for your particular situation.

10. Use disclaimers when necessary — but be careful. Sometimes a beneficiary may actually want to decline (disclaim) assets on which they’re designated as beneficiary. Keep in mind disclaimers involve complex legal and tax issues and require careful consultation with your attorney and CPA. Next steps • When creating, updating, or simply reviewing your estate plan, pay attention to your beneficiary designations.

• Remember, beneficiary designations take precedence over what you may have specified in a will or trust.

• Put a reminder on your calendar to check your beneficiary designations annually so you can keep them up-todate.

New residential real estate activity has been relatively slow in the first quarter of 2018, yet housing is proving its resiliency in a consistently improving economy. Some markets have had increases in signed contracts, but the vast majority of the nation continues to experience fewer closed sales and lower inventory compared to last year at this time. Despite there being fewer homes for sale, buyer demand has remained strong enough to keep prices on the rise, which should continue for the foreseeable future.

New listings were up 5.6 percent to 304.

Pending sales increased 20.2 percent to 226.

Inventory grew 20.0 percent to 1,081 units.

Prices moved higher as Median Sales Price was up 10.0 percent to $231,000. Days on Market decreased 15.4 percent to 88 days.

Months Supply of Inventory was up 15.7

percent to 5.9 months, indicating that supply increased relative to demand.

The Federal Reserve raised its key shortterm interest rate by .25 percent in March, citing concerns about inflation. It is the sixth rate increase by the Fed since December 2015, and at least two more rate increases are expected this year. Borrowing money will be more expensive, particularly for home equity loans, credit cards and adjustable rate mortgages, but rising wages and a low national unemployment rate that has been at 4.1 percent for five months in a row would seem to indicate that we are prepared for this. And although mortgage rates have risen to their highest point in four years, they have been quite low for several years.

Firefighters with the City of Beaufort/ Town of Port Royal Fire Department responded to a structure fire at the Sea Island Apartments in Port Royal at 14:16 on 4/12/2018.

Firefighters arrived to find a 4 unit apartment building with fire pushing from the windows and doors from half of the building and heavy smoke pushing from the rest.

As the 4 man engine company went into action, bystanders told them that there were still people in the last apartment. The company officer and two firefighters located the apartment, found it filled with smoke and the victims still inside. The engine company engineer used the hose line from the exterior to control the fire in the other apartments while the rest of the crew conducted the rescues.

The rescue crew entered the apartment to find a wheelchair bound patient trying to find her way out. Two firefighters helped her to safety while the officer used a thermal imaging camera to search for the other victim.

The company officer quickly located her just feet away, scooped her up and carried her outside. Within seconds after arrival both victims

were located, moved to safety, and treated for smoke inhalation.

Firefighters continued to fight the fire and search the remaining apartments.

Another male victim who escaped on his own prior to the firefighters arrival, was treated on the scene by Beaufort County EMS, transported to Beaufort Memorial Hospital, and then flown to the August burn center for treatment.

Beaufort / Port Royal firefighters were assisted by the Burton Fire District, the Parris Island Fire Department, Beaufort County Emergency Medical Services, the Port Royal Police Department and the Red Cross.

Firefighters extricate one patient on Bell Bridge using Jaws of Life Firefighters from the City of Beaufort/ Town of Port Royal Fire Department responded to a motor vehicle accident at 2200 Ribaut Road (Bell Bridge) at 15:37 on 04/15/2018.

The first arriving Engine Company arrived on scene and found a three-vehicle accident with one patient entrapped inside a vehicle.

A small pick up truck involved in the wreck lost a package out of the bed of the truck. As the truck was pulled over on the side of the road to pick up the package in the roadway, a vehicle struck the pick up from behind causing the vehicle to spin and hit another vehicle coming over the bridge.

Firefighters from the City of Beaufort/ Town of Port Royal Fire Department and the Burton Fire District used the Jaws of Life tools to extricate the patient out of the vehicle. While firefighters were gaining access and working to free the patient from the wrecked vehicle, firefighters and members from Beau-

fort County EMS gained access to the patient from the passenger side of the vehicle to initiate emergency medical care.

The patient was extricated from the vehicle and transported to the hospital within 15 minutes with non-life threatening injuries.

The City of Beaufort/Town of Port Royal Fire Department was assisted by the Burton Fire District, Beaufort County Emergency Medical Services, and the Port Royal Police Department.

Beaufort’s Boundary Street utility poles to be removed, lane closures expected Overhead utility lines and their poles will come down along a mile-long stretch of Beaufort’s Boundary Street starting Tuesday, April 17, a highlight of the combined city, county, state and federal project.

During the work, there will be lane restrictions along Boundary Street through Friday, April 20. Most of the work will occur between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. One lane of traffic will always be available in each direction .

Once the electricity and communications cables are removed, other equipment will be taken off the poles. Once the poles are clear, special machines will be moved into place, secured, and will pull up the poles from the soil. Most of the utility poles go about seven to 10-feet below ground.

Once the utility poles are removed, crews will finish the sidewalks and landscaping, to be followed by final paving and striping of Boundary Street from Neil Road to Sycamore Street at Beaufort City Hall.

“So much work has gone into this project to get to this point, but having the utility lines and poles come down from Boundary Street is really a milestone,” said Neal Pugliese, director of public projects and facilities for the City of Beaufort.

Although Beaufort’s Boundary Street Corridor Improvement project is just over one-mile long, some 35 miles of power and communications cabling have been routed to underground conduits.

Of the 35 miles of cabling, approximately 5.5 miles belong to Hargray, 5.5 miles belong to CenturyLink, and 24 miles belong to SCE&G. Different types of cable serving different functions must be routed through separate conduits buried alongside Boundary Street.

Those conduits typically are four feet to eight feet below the surface.

So much work has gone into this project to get to this point, but having the utility lines and poles come down from Boundary Street is really a milestone.”

NEAL PUGLIESE Director of public projects and facilities for the City of Beaufort

of the road, crews worked closely with all the utilities including Beaufort-Jasper Water & Sewer Authority to avoid accidentally hitting or digging up active lines. This was especially critical with fiber optic lines and those serving the 911 emergency dispatch system, Pugliese said.

“We have an exceptional team making all this happen, and it’s great to see the whole project getting so close to completion,” he said. “The utility companies have been a great help and I want to tip my hat to them.”

The Boundary Street Project is a $33 million initiative that is just over one mile long, stretching from Neil Road to Sycamore Street at Beaufort City Hall. A major element of the project was removing overhead power and communications lines into an underground duct bank, reducing urban clutter while creating a safer environment for travel.

The project also included realigning the Boundary Street intersection with Robert Smalls Parkway. The project is on schedule and on budget for completion in May 2018.

Kim Painter Exhibition: LowCountry Light & Color

B

eaufort Art Association (BAA) Gallery is featuring ‘LowCountry Light & Color’ by Kim Painter from April 29 to June 30. The artist’s reception will be at the Gallery located at 913 Bay Street in Beaufort on Friday, May 4, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

Kim comments on her painting style saying, “In nature light creates the color, and in painting, color creates the light.

My medium of choice is oil. Thin layers of color along with glazing techniques work together to help create the color radiance and luminosity in painting.

“My landscape work is considered semi-abstract and leans toward Impressionism. My current focus is to use light and atmosphere to express a range of emotion I see and feel in these southern coastal lands. I’m influenced by the beauty in everyday atmospheric conditions; twilight and dusk, misty rain and sweltering heat. My goal is to convey and invoke a sense of wonder and tranquility for the viewer.

“I began loving and appreciating art at an early age,” Kim says. “I adored spending time exploring nature and spent most of my childhood in South Carolina and just over the border in rural North Carolina surroundings. Our family vacations involved beaches, sculpture gardens and similar glimpses into magical Southern places where I could play and dream the

day away.”

Kim studied graphic design in college and worked in different aspects of corporate America for almost thirty years. She

considers herself a self-taught emerging artist, entering her next life phase with joy and gratitude for the LowCountry landscape she calls home.

Besides Kim’s work, the work of approximately 60 other local BAA member artists will also be on exhibit. Chartered in 1957, BAA is a tax-exempt membership organization with total membership of approximately currently175 local artists.

2018 MET HD OPERA SERIES FINALE, SATURDAY, APRIL 28

Massenet’s Cendrillon (Cinderella) Live at Center for the Arts “Glorious,” raved the New York Times when Joyce DiDonato sang the title role of Cendrillon at the Royal Opera in 2011. “Her performance was thoroughly enchanting.” Now, for the first time ever, Massenet’s sumptuous take on the Cinderella story comes to the Met, with DiDonato starring in the title role. She is paired with mezzo-soprano Alice Coote in the trouser role of Prince Charming, Kathleen Kim as the Fairy Godmother, and Stephanie Blythe as the imperious Madame de la Haltière. Bass baritone Laurent Naouri sings Pandolfe. Bertrand de Billy conducts Laurent Pelly’s imaginative storybook production. Met Opera Unlike Rossini’s Cenerentola which removes the magical elements, Massenet’s version positively revels in the story’s gossamer fantasy world, forming an enchanting background for its lovable characters, Cendrillon and her Prince Charming; the hilariously dippy household governed by stepmother Madame de la Haltiere and her two daughters; the tenderly loving relationship between Cendrillon and her bumbling father, Pandolfe; and of course the glittery fairy world, complete with a benign fairy godmother; her frolicking elves, elegant coach and dainty glass slippers. Opera News Variations of the Cinderella fairy tale

— a poorly treated heroine who finds happiness in the end — exist around the world and in many forms, from books, ballet, and opera to the movies. Jules Massenet brings French wit, style, and charm to his operatic treatment of this well-known story.

In Massenet’s version, the death of her mother impacts Cinderella much more and her father, Pandolfe, plays a bigger role than in the familiar Disney animated film. From the opening scenes, Pandolfe laments his remarriage and its effects on his daughter. He attends the King’s Ball with his wife and stepdaughters, while Cinderella falls asleep alone at home. Awoken by a fairy godmother who dresses her in fine clothes, the young girl heads for the palace, where she meets the prince and they pledge their love. Warned to return at midnight, Cinderella flees as the clock starts striking and loses her slipper.

At home, the stepmother and her daughters rail about the evening’s events and turn on Pandolfe, upsetting Cinderella. He comforts his daughter, admitting he hadn’t considered the consequences of his remarriage on their lives. Cinderella leaves the house to spare her father further pain, taking refuge under an oak during a fierce storm. There, the prince discovers her and the two fall asleep. Regaining consciousness at home, Cinderella is told by her father that she’s been

deliriously talking about the prince and he convinces her she’s been dreaming.

When all are summoned to the King’s Palace, Cinderella realizes her dream was true. The Prince recognizes her and the lovers are reunited to the approval of everyone, including the stepmother.

Eastman School of Music Cendrillon is the Massenet opera most readily approachable by those with reservations about his idiom. His musical sense of humor, all too seldom given full rein, is here at its frothiest, and liberally spiced with dry Gallic wit. Variety is assured by his four distinct soundworlds conjured up to tell the fairy-tale: the vigor and pomp of the court music, with some of Massenet’s best dance numbers; the music for the fairy world, which has the airiness and harmonic savour of Mendelssohn crossed with Richard Strauss; the writing for Cendrillon and Pandolfe, showing the composer at his most artlessly economical to match the simple virtues they represent; and the love music, which in its heavily perfumed chromaticism reminds one constantly how well Massenet knew his Wagner. The mystical marriage of Act 3 is one of the composer’s most succulent love scenes. Rodney Milnes, Grove Music.

Massenet’s score features a preponderance of the lower female voices—including a mezzo-soprano as the object

of Cendrillon’s affection—that were so favored by French composers in the 19th century. The result is an otherworldly yet sensual tonal palette that serves as a rich background for this familiar tale. Against all the fairy-tale wonder of the score, the title character and her prince are recognizably human. Their Act II love duet is a masterful moment emblematic of Massenet’s elegant style: The prince is lyrically effusive, while all of Cendrillon’s gushing emotion is expressed in a single refined yet poignant phrase as she says “You are my Prince Charming,” recalled at other points throughout the score. Met Opera.

Dr. Marian P. Rollings’ quilt wins national competition Dr. Marian P. Rollings of Beaufort, SC recently won first place for her quilt in the DAR (Daughters of the Revolution) 2017-2018 American Heritage Contest, “Exploring America Through the Arts.”

Categories included Art & Sculpture, Crafts, Fiber Arts, Literature & Drama, and Music. Dr. Rolllings’ quilt was one of the entries in Fiber Arts. It represents a picture of life at the Spanish American Fort Fremont at Land’s End on St. Helena Island, SC in the early 20th century and is entitled “Fort Fremont Homeland Security Circa 1898-1912.” The quilt will be displayed at the DAR Continental Congress to be held in Washington, DC during June 19-22, 2018, and she will be honored at the American Heritage Forum on June 19.

While conducting research on Fort Fremont for the Friends of Fort Fremont and Beaufort County, Dr. Rollings located a copy of an historic 8x10-inch black and white photograph of the fort from approximately1905. Inspired by the photograph, she envisioned, designed, and assembled

her quilt. Specific fabric colors and patterns were selected to provide a realistic representation of the fort environment.

The quilt captures a snapshot of Army life and coast defense facilities at the opening of the 20th century. During the 18th and 19th centuries, Army coastal fortifications were a major element of U.S. defense policy and included the state-ofthe-art military technology of their eras.

This long and important element of U.S. military defense policy is little remembered today. The quilt attempts to give a glimpse of this bygone era and its state-ofthe-art technology.

The finished quilt will find its final resting place in the Beaufort County Fort Fremont Interpretive Center. The construction of the Interpretative Center is expected to begin later this spring. It will be located adjacent to the Fort Fremont gun batteries on St. Helena Island. In addition to this quilt, the center will house a scale model of Fort Fremont as well as exhibits about the structures, weapons, and life at Fort Fremont.

A Landscape Aflame: Art of The American Civil War The art of leading American artists and photographers of the American Civil War era will be the topic of April’s Dinner & a Lecture Series sponsored by Historic Beaufort Foundation at the Verdier House, Monday, April 23 at 5:30 p.m. Lecturer and author Ron Roth will share recent scholarship that demonstrates how significant Civil War art is to understanding the war.

From the battlefield to the home front, art of the period includes insights into the war through images of the experiences of soldiers, civilians and enslaved Africans.

It illustrates the motivations of both sides of the conflict and eloquently depicts the human face of the war. Many of America’s leading 19th century artists, including Frederick Church, Winslow Homer and Eastman Johnson, created Civil War related art, and some, like northern artist Sanford Gifford and southerner Conrad Wise Chapman, were soldiers themselves.

Roth is a speaker with the Humanities Council of South Carolina. He is a former museum director in Pennsylvania and Nebraska and has curated numerous art and history exhibitions from the Patriotic Paintings of N.C. Wyeth to a major exhibition with international glass artist Dale Chihuly. As an independent curator he curated the permanent exhibition of the Central Pennsylvania African American Museum and its exhibit on the Underground Railroad, curated and designed a Verdier House exhibit on the history of the Beaufort Volunteer Artillery, a legendary Civil War artillery unit. He has participated in the HBF lecture series on three other occasions.

A wine and hors d’oeuvre reception begins at 5:30; the program is 6 to 7 p.m.

Admission for members is $15/$25 per member/couple. Non-member admission is$20/$30 per person/couple. Call 843379-3331 to make reservations. Reservations for Saltus River Grill’s special for lecture ticket-holders may be made by calling Saltus at 843-379-3474.

A handful of volunteers gathered at the Port Royal Skate Park to do some much needed repairs to the popular facility on Sunday, April 15.

“The Town of Port Royal donated the materials needed,” said Joe Lee, former Port Royal town councilman. “We supplied the manpower.”

The volunteers came from many walks of life. Some were construction workers, insurance brokers, local churches, skateboarders and parents of skateboarders.

Billy Beckett said, “I skateboarded here. I saw the damage and thought I’d do what I could to help out.”

One youngster, 10-year-old Corban Jeffrey, a fifth grader at Coosa Elementary School was pulling nails.

“I skateboard here all the time. It’s the only place we can go. So I decided to help.”

Lee said this is about the third time the park has been repaired. “These ramps take a beating and we come in fix them. So far this has worked out pretty well.”

Book signing to benefit Tabby House On April 21, Debbi Covington will be signing her newest cookbook, Celebrate Beaufort, at the Beaufort Bookstore from 4 to 6 p.m., donating part of the proceeds to Tabby House, the cat adoption facility located just a few steps away in Town Center.

Tabby House volunteers will be making a selection of appetizers from Deb-

bi’s new book and will offer them to customers during the event.

Rosie O’Grady’s has created special Rosie Cat Bucks, which may be exchanged for food and beverages at the Pub. Debbi is a popular Beaufort caterer. This will be her third book, the first to feature recipes specifically designed for Beaufort tastes, although her previous publications empha-

sized lowcountry cooking.

Debbi is an avid cat lover and constant supporter of Tabby House. She suggested the organization’s slogan, “Adopt a cat, save 9 lives.”

Tabby House is an all volunteer cat adoption center associated with Beaufort County Animal Services. They are open to the public from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday and 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.

Celebrate Beaufort, the new cookbook from Beaufort caterer Debbi Covington, is a collection of scrumptious recipes and tales of her beloved coastal community. The handsomely illustrated volume is full of delicious menus that pay tribute to the history, heritage and people of the Lowcountry of South Carolina. Cookbooks are available through Debbi's website, www.cateringbydebbicovington.com, at Nevermore Books, The Beaufort Bookstore, McIntosh Books, Lulu Burgess and Michael's Salon. Celebrate Beaufort sells for $28.

The New Year in Spring According to the Gregorian Calendar, which is todays internationally accepted civil calendar, our new year begins on January 1. This is the day when we make our resolutions and celebrate the coming year. However, many countries, cultures, and religions celebrate the first day of the New Year on days other than January 1. The Chinese, for instance, celebrate the beginning of their New Year sometime between January 21 and February 20 depending on the lunar cycle.

The Hindu calendar sets their New Year sometime around the March Equinox and the Buddhists New Year is around mid-April. Many of the world’s calendars are based on the moon phase, or the sun, and sometimes both. Reading about the other calendars, it makes sense to me that the March Equinox represents the beginning of the year more accurately.

This is the time of the year when day and night are nearly the same length, with promise of more sunlight to come.

The time when spring officially starts, and the sun crosses the celestial equator from south to north. This is the time for new beginnings.

Doesn’t it seem odd to celebrate a New Year on January 1st when the trees are bare and the flowers mostly nonexistent. People are hibernating for the most part and the winter weight gain is inevitable despite any January 1st New

Year resolutions. But in Springtime, life begins again. The weather is warmer, and the outside opens to us again. The birds are singing and building their nests and the pollen is once again covering everything.

This is the time of year when we want to be more active. Our winter pounds disintegrate as our spring activities increase. We pull out the gardening utensils and store that hideous snow shovel we used this past winter. People are out of their houses to rake the Oak tree’ leaves out their gardens. We chat with neighbors we have not seen during the winter hibernation. The Garden Centers are busy with customers rolling their carts out with new plants, bushes, and flowers. The pine straw is being spread in all the garden beds and color returns to the whole town.

The garden is not the only focus at the beginning of “our” March Equinox New Year. There are year-end taxes to be completed, rugs to be cleaned, smoke detector batteries to replace, and furnace filters to be cleaned. This is such a vibrant time of year with golf tournaments and baseball games. This should be the official beginning of our New Year.

So, whatever you do to celebrate spring, remember to get out the party favors and hats and open some champagne. Have a Happy New Year!

Tips for Daily Prayer

Running on Empty?

What’s your daily prayer life like?

We often feel like we’re running on empty.

Daily prayer becomes easier as we jump in!

In our daily lives we can feel anxious or stressed, even though we know that God has given us many reasons for joy. We can feel lost or insecure, despite believing that God has a plan for us. We can feel distant from God, even though we have faith in his love and mercy.

If we don’t have much of a daily habit of prayer, we can start by setting aside 10-15 minutes each day in a quiet place. We practice just being quiet with God, talking to him as a friend, and allowing him to speak back to us through silence and the reading of Scripture. Like many things worth doing in life, it probably won’t be easy at first. But as we stick with it, it gets easier and starts to feel more natural!

Are we allowing God to fill us?

Difficult situations often come up in our lives, bringing moments of worry or anxiety. But when we are constantly experiencing these sorts of emotions, it is a sign that something needs attention.

Like the indicators in our cars that tell us we are almost out of gas, these feelings are often a sign that we are not spending enough time with God in daily prayer. We are not allowing God to spiritually fill us.

How much time are we giving to God? If we were to track how much time we spend on the phone or watching TV, it would often be hours and hours per week. But if we were to look at how much time we set aside to be with God outside of church, what would it add up to in a given week? Would it be a significant amount of time, or would it be more like the length of a typical television commercial break?

In this series, we will share some tips for daily prayer.

We will explore some of the ideas above in greater detail and give practical examples, so that you can develop or deepen your daily prayer life. Rather than feeling like we’re running on empty, why not allow God a chance to “refuel” us in daily prayer?

We spend time with those we love.

If we love God, we should be spending time with him each day.

As we spend time opening our mind and our heart to God, we start to grow in our relationship with him. He calms our anxieties; he brings us peace; he helps us see how he is at work in our lives.

We feel strengthened and refreshed, ready for the challenges and opportunities each day brings.
