COVERING BEAUFORT COUNTY
A SOLEMN SALUTE
World War II veterans were honored last Saturday, April 1 during the 75th anniversary celebration of the end of the war at the Morris Center for Lowcountry Heritage in Ridgeland. The Parris Island Marine Corps Band performed while the Sun City Color Guard "posted the colors." On hand were two veterans from the Greatest Generation who served during WWII. Frank Anderson, 93, of Toms River, N.J., was a corporal in the U.S. Army Air Corps serving in B-26 Marauders in both North African and European theaters. Russel Smith of Sun City, who boasted being "93-and-a-half," served in the U.S. Navy aboard the battleship USS Massachusetts.

TCL wants to turn Beaufort campus into health sciences hub By Lisa Allen
Pardon the pun, but it doesn’t take a brain surgeon to recognize that healthcare is a growing need in Beaufort County. Beaufort is the 12th fastest growing county in the nation, with 4,000-5,000 new residents moving in every year. Given that many of the new arrivals are retirees, the need is even more acute. Currently, an astonishing 29 percent of the county’s 165,354 residents are aged 60 or older, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey. To address that need, the Technical College of the Lowcountry plans to turn its Beaufort campus into a health sciences center and move general education and technical programs to its New River campus in Bluffton and its Hampton location in Varnville, said TCL President Richard Gough. TCL will create 10,000 square feet of new academic space by
renovating Moor Hall on the Beaufort campus and relocating administrative offices for new health sciences offerings. The school already offers courses in massage therapy, nursing, physical therapist assistant, radiologic technology, surgical technology and medical assisting programs. Based on employer requests, TCL wants to add programs for dental assistants, pharmacy technicians and respiratory technicians. According to the S.C. Department of Employment and Workforce Development, nearly 15 percent of Beaufort County’s 68,000 workers are in healthcare, a category that comes in third behind tourism and retail jobs. The healthcare labor market is expected to grow 2.5 percent each year through 2022. About 70 percent of those jobs don’t require four-year degrees, such as personal care aides, home health aides, nursing assistants, physical therapist assistants, sonographers,

medical secretaries, records technicians, surgical technicians and dental assistants. “We know that there is a demand for healthcare-related programs, but we’re space constrained,” Gough said. “The medical assistant program was started in a hallway closet. We need more clinical space and we need to graduate more students. We aren’t meeting demand. There are a lot of technician specialties that don’t have programs yet. We don’t have the facilities to do it.” Meanwhile TCL is trying to find a way to pay for a planned $12.5-million expansion to the New River campus. Last year, the state General Assembly agreed to provide only $3.5 million. “TCL is not state funded,” Gough said. “Only 18 percent of our budget comes from the state. Beaufort County also provides some support, but the majority comes from tuition and fees.” Gough calls it a chicken and egg problem.

They can’t attract more students — and thus tuition — until they add more programs. They can’t add programs until they can get more tuition. But their students can’t pay high tuition. “The school’s mission is open access to all and affordable,” said Mary Lee Carns, vice president for advancement and external relations. She is also executive director for the TCL Foundation. TCL has kept tuition to half of University of South Carolina Beaufort, but even that is a stretch for their students. Carns said while four-year colleges rely on alumni to boost their coffers, community colleges don’t have that resource. “At four-year colleges and universities, the large majority of their donations come from alumni and a smaller percent from companies and corporations.

Burton Fire District contains second brush fire
The Burton Fire District responded to its second large brush fire endangering homes in just over one week in the Seabrook area late on March 28. Just before 4 p.m., firefighters responded to a report of a brush fire off Creekmoor Lane in Seabrook. Fire crews arrived to find an approximately 3-acre brush fire endangering nearby homes. It took three Burton fire engines and over 3,000 gallons of water, as well as assistance from the SC Forestry, to contain the fire. Crews were on scene for over two and a half hours and hampered by heavy rainfall. On March 20, the Burton Fire District, along with units from the MCAS Fire Department and SC Forestry, contained an approximately 10-acre brush fire off of Delany Circle in Seabrook that was also endangering nearby homes. The Burton Fire District has responded to over 20 brush fires so far in 2017; 10 of those brush fires have occurred in the Gray’s Hill – Seabrook area.
Walterboro man gets 10 years for sexual assault
A 58-year-old Walterboro man was sentenced March 29 to 10 years in prison for sexually assaulting a teenage girl in 2015. Michael Anthony Bodison was found guilty of third-degree criminal sexual conduct fol-
lowing a one-day trial at the Colleton County Courthouse in Walterboro. Bodison sexually assaulted the 16-year-old girl in August 2015 while the girl was in his care. The victim was able to record Bodison “saying some disgusting things in preparation” for the assault, according to the case’s primary prosecutor, Assistant Solicitor Reed Evans. “We were able to play that recording for the jury.” The jury deliberated about 25 minutes before returning a guilty verdict. “We are so proud of the victim in this case,” Evans said.“She did a great job in her testimony.” Circuit Court Judge R. Lawton McIntosh handed down the 10-year sentence, the maximum for this charge.

HEALTH
Balance mind, body, spirit for balanced life Much like a Romanian gymnast, perfect balance is what we strive for. The body by design, craves balance. Balance is harmony. Just as the right leg balances the left, the stomach muscles balance the back muscles. So how does a well-balanced body pertain to life? Simply put, when your physical and mental health are compromised, your vitality becomes diminished. Ailments such as depression, anxiety and chronic pain feed off of our mind and spirit. The worse our balance is, the worse we feel. Our bodies are finely tuned indicators provided we stop long enough to listen. When the oil light comes on in our car, we know to change the oil or bad things will happen. Just like that oil light, our body is the indicator that something needs to be changed with our mind and spirit. Let's say you wake up one morning with a pain in your back, which gets worse over the course of the week. By the weekend, you are weaker than you were on Monday and unable to enjoy your much-anticipated relaxation. Each day you ignore your body’s indicators your mind and spirit worsen. That's fine and dandy, but during this time you are struggling financially as well. Therefore, the mind is consumed with worry and stress, which is increasing the pain in your back.
Perspectives
LIFE FROM A NEW POINT OF VIEW
Dr. Kristie Wallace owns Beaufort Chiropractic and Wellness Center. She offers myriad chiropractic techniques and wellness advise. She is a United States Air Force veteran, who served in Operation Enduring Freedom and the Iraqi War. Beaufort Chiropractic is at 703 Bladen St. Call 843-522-1115.
Adding onto that, the spirit gets run down, tired, derailed, depressed. Now, you have chronic pain, financial dismay and you are going into overall “fecal matter hitting the fan” mode. Something may be out of balance physically, mentally or spiritually. All of these symptoms are a sign that something is “out of whack” or inflamed. Life is stressful, yes! But it's how we overcome that stress or our mindset that can counteract the “crazy” that life brings. What can you do? There are many people out there who are willing to help. It's perfectly normal not to do it all by yourself; we all need help. However, here are a few steps you can take on your own to get you started on the path to BMS wellness: • Balance the body. If you are in pain, try chiropractic, massage, acupuncture, physical therapy, nutrition, visit your primary doctor to find out what the cause is. Whatever
the step is, start by taking one. It may take many steps, but eventually you will climb that mountain. Don't stop when you are about to reach the peak. Exercise at least three times a week. Get the heart pumping. Luckily, we have many personal trainers, running groups, yoga studios gyms, and lots of beautiful scenery to enjoy. Eat better. Cut down on sugar, alcohol and that nightly heavy pasta dish or fast food. Watch your portion size. Increase your greens. Stay hydrated. I'm not saying don't live. I’m saying just the opposite. Live longer and please eat, have fun, enjoy life, but do all things in moderation. • Balance the mind. Stay sharp. Do crossword puzzles, find creative outlets, get a hobby that challenges your brain. Stop thinking negative thoughts. You are good enough. You are beautiful in every way. You are here to spread that beauty. What our mind thinks or perceives can be detrimental to our health.
For example, “I'm not good enough for this job” or “I'm too fat” or “I can't do this or that” may lead to a poor self-image and depression or anxiety. Somehow, somewhere a little seed was planted to create a negative thought process. Change it. Life is too short to think you aren't worth it. Why create excess stress to impress others and not love yourself? Love yourself! Start saying, “I love me” every day. It's that easy. It may even make you giggle at yourself doing it, but it is literally the thought that counts. If your mind becomes overwhelmed with negative thinking, seek an outside source of help, such as a therapist or counselor. • Balance the spirit. Pray, meditate, spend time with positive people, volunteer, do yoga, do good deeds and/or simply be kind. Reconnect by walking on the beach or through the woods. Take in and appreciate nature. Look around, we have beauty everywhere. Take a deep breath. Heck, take 10 breaths. Stop thinking, clear your mind for an hour every day; unless you are too busy then do it for two hours. Just 5-10 minutes is enough to increase “happy hormones” such as dopamine and decrease stress levels. Ending note: We have this one body, let's take care of it. I hope this helps, and I pray that you continue to be blessed.
Avoid unlicensed clinics offering unapproved stem cell therapy Stem cell therapies are getting headlines for their potential to cure diseases, including those that affect vision. But an important message is missing: the therapies are not yet proven to be safe and effective for your eyes. Stem cell treatments appear to offer hope to people with few options to recover vision. This includes people with forms of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and Stargardt disease. Some clinics across the United States offer "stem cell therapy" to people outside of clinical
trials. But the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved the treatments they offer. These treatments often use unproven products that may be ineffective or dangerous. These products may carry serious risks, including tumor growth. Questions to ask It is important that you know that there are no stem cell products approved by the FDA for eye disease right now.

Every 6 minutes an underground utility line is damaged because someone decides to dig without first calling 811, according to a release from the Beaufort-Jasper Water & Sewer Authority (BJWSA). That’s why the water supplier, in conjunction with South Carolina 811, is observing National Safe Digging Month in April. “Emergency repairs due to carelessness waste time and money,” said Joe DeVito, director of field operations for BJWSA. “Additionally, it pulls our crews off other projects and involves other departments as we work to notify customers in the area, and answer calls from those affected by a water shutdown. All of this can be avoided by calling 811 BEFORE you dig.” Submitting a locate request to have underground utility lines marked is a free service for digging projects of any size. For a normal notice, a locate request must be entered into the system three full business days, not including the day the notice was submitted, before digging may begin. Contact South Carolina 811 by dialing 811. Contractors and homeowners can also submit a locate request online at www. sc811.com. Visit www.bjwsa.org.

What works when buying stocks? Dating back to the first stock market system in the 1400s and 1500s, there has been a number of different approaches over the years. And no, I’m not going to start way back then so don’t worry. Actually it was recently someone asked me if we used advanced computer algorithmic trading strategies in our research. There are many different approaches when it comes to selecting stocks as investments. Let’s look at a few that come to mind. One is often referred to as “Sell in May and Go Away,” also sometimes called the “Halloween Indicator.” Basically, the theory is to buy stocks around Halloween because the market significantly growths stronger between November to April and the sell them in May and take your gains. This one to the right been around since 1950 popularized by Yale Hirsh. Another dubbed “October Surprise” that pertains to avoiding the recurring October declines in the
market. While we are talking about the calendar, there is also the “December Loss” that is based on tax loss selling that occurs at the end of the fiscal year in yes you guessed it December. Did you know that things like the amount of cloud coverage and temperature offer up their own methods? A study by Cao and Wei was done in 1993 that showed from 1927 to 1989 the level of cloud
cover outside a stock exchange was correlated to returns for a major stock market. In essence the days with less cloud cover the market performed better because people were in a better mood. Temperature outside the stock exchange is negatively correlated with return performance in the same study, essentially, the lower the temperature the higher the returns. They believe the lower temperature tends to fuel aggressive risk taking psychologically and vice versa.
Let’s not forget the Hurricane Index introduced by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange in 2007 that is Michael Osteen used in relation to Hurricane Derivatives contracts. They look at the maximum sustained winds and the radius of hurricane force winds. There are many more approaches that exist and some have been around longer than others and naturally each one varies in its effectiveness in obtaining higher returns. However, what we find noteworthy throughout many approaches is they are based on actual data. And the data is obtained using research techniques. The research has correlations that have been back-tested and repeatable, which supports the approach. While we don’t use the above mentioned approaches, we do conduct research that looks at various
types of data using a proven approach that was founded by Benjamin Graham and David Dodd back in the 1920s called “value investing.” You most likely are not familiar with Graham, but you probably have heard of a couple of his students. Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger, chairman & CEO and vice chairman of Berkshire Hathaway respectively and both use “value investing” methods. It has held up to the test of time for over 85 years as being the most reliable at obtaining above average returns known to date. For our money, “value investing” works the best. To learn more about value investing research, contact me today for a complimentary meeting. Michael Osteen, MBA, is chief investment strategist with Port Wren Capital LLC with a 252 percent 3-year total gain (36.04 percent annualized) performance using independent value investment research.

The Beaufort County Treasurer’s Office will begin using a third party collection agency, American Financial Credit Services (AFCS), to assist in the collection of delinquent business personal property taxes. In the past, the Annual Tax Sale was the primary and only delinquent collection program. In 2014, with support from Beaufort County Council, the Treasurer's Office initiated the Setoff Debt Program. his program has yielded positive results over the past three years but does have limitations. “In general, businesses cannot be submitted through the Setoff Debt program,” said Maria Walls, CPA, Beaufort County Treasurer. “The program requires the use of a Social Security number, an identifier most businesses do not have. Pursuing and collecting delinquent taxes is a sensitive subject, but it is part of my role as treasurer, so we utilize programs that fulfill our responsibility with professional and personalized services. “AFCS’s collection services are unique, in addition to pursuing the taxes owed, they will assist delinquent taxpayers who are found to have been taxed incorrectly, by educating them on the proper documentation to file so the tax does not continue to be assessed each year.” Visit BeaufortCountyTreasurer.com.

Parker’s makes $20,000 donation to local schools
A local convenience store company recently donated $20,000 to Beaufort County schools as part of an ongoing promotion at its outlets. Parker’s, which operates 48 convenience stores in Georgia and South Carolina, said the proceeds came from its “Fueling the Community” program. That promotion gives 1 cent of every gallon of gas sold on the first Wednesday of each month to local schools. Some of the Parker’s donation goes to support the school district’s annual “Support Person of the Year” recognition program, which honors school nurses, social workers, bookkeepers, office managers, teacher assistants, school secretaries and technology and data
specialists. Other funds go to specific schools designated by Parker’s “Pump Pal Club” customers when they purchase their gasoline on the first Wednesday of each month. "At Parker's, we believe education has the power to transform lives," said President and CEO Greg Parker. "We are grateful to the teachers who work hard every day to educate students throughout Beaufort County and are delighted to honor and support their efforts." Parker’s launched its charitable initiative in 2011 and has donated money to public and private schools in every community where Parker’s does business. Superintendent Jeff Moss accepted the donation on behalf of the school district.

Local employers are the ones who see the value of community colleges.” TCL also is careful not to generate more graduates than are needed. “We look at the workforce in our four counties,” said Glenn Levicki, dean of health sciences. TCL serves Jasper, Colleton, Hampton and Beaufort counties. “We have to justify adding more programs because after graduation, we want to ensure they will find jobs.” Only 1 percent of the graduates of the six health science programs fail to find a job or continue their studies, Levicki said. The school has to maintain that performance to retain national accreditation granted by each discipline. “We want to meet the needs of the community,” Levicki said.

It’s also helpful that the health sciences center will be next door to the county’s third largest employer, Beaufort Memorial Hospital. “TCL and Beaufort Memorial have had a strong partnership for years. Many of our best staff members are graduates of TCL programs,” said Karen Carroll, Beaufort Memorial Hospital’s chief nursing officer and vice president of patient care services.“As our population grows and our community’s medical needs change, both organizations are always looking at ways to best meet the needs of our friends and neighbors. “We are thrilled that TCL is expanding their healthcare curriculum, and we will continue to support their programs.” Carns and Gough stressed the important role TCL plays in both the lives of its graduates and of the local community. “If you think about it, the quality of life in Beaufort County is driven by our graduates,” Carns said. “They are the ones who provide the care and services we all depend on, especially in health sciences.”

AN IN-DEPTH LOOK AT THE PEOPLE & EVENTS THAT SHAPE OUR COMMUNITY
B1
oman of the Year By Aileen Goldstein
A quote from Mahatma Gandhi hangs on the door of Connie Hipp’s refrigerator. It reads: “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” Hipp lives and breathes these words every single day. Hipp was recently named 2017 Woman of the Year by the United Way of the Lowcountry’s Women United. The award was announced at the annual Power of the Purse, a fundraiser to provide services for children and families of Beaufort and Jasper counties to eliminate financial restraints in education. The event was held at the Dataw Island clubhouse. Hipp’s volunteer history is long and rich, encompassing a large majority of the 59 years she has lived in Beaufort. “My husband used to call me a serial volunteer,” Hipp said with a laugh. Although she does not volunteer now nearly as much as she used to, she still is very active in the community. “I do it because I grew up here and there is no reason not to give back,” she said when asked why she volunteers.
Connie Hipp was recently named the United Way of the Lowcountry’s Women United Woman of the Year. She is shown here, at left, with Katie Phifer, chair of the Women United Steering Committee.
After graduating high school, Hipp started working for the federal government. She watched successful women around her and took note of what they did. Eventually, she joined professional women’s club and learned from her elders, a so-called Wisdom Row. These women encouraged Hipp to try different things and to grow. In the beginning, Hipp was involved in so many volunteer opportunities because she wanted to find what she was best at. It did not take long for her to discover that her passion was leadership. Early on, Hipp was among the first classes of the Beaufort Leadership, a mentoring program through the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce. Once Hipp graduated from the program, the directors that were supposed to lead were suddenly unable to perform their duties. Hipp said she was happy to help and the rest is history. This month, she will finish her 30th year directing Beaufort Leadership. The foundation of Hipp’s service with Leadership Beaufort is to help the students realize how easy is to get involved and therefore make a difference. She tells the classes, “Quit saying they need to take care of this or they need to do that, it is time that you figure out when you can be a they.”
Hipp’s resume of volunteerism includes many organizations throughout the county including the Child Abuse Prevention Association (CAPA), Citizens Opposed to Domestic Abuse (CODA) and the Girls and Boys Club, among others. She currently runs an organization called Transitional Workforce Education Assistance Collaborative, better known as TWEAC. The organization assists military member and their families in finding work during and after their service to our country. The Woman of the Year award came as a surprise to Hipp as she did not even know she had been nominated, and she is honored to be recognized by the United Way. Recognition does not come easily for Hipp, as her comfort place is behind the scenes. The biggest rewards for Hipp’s years of service come when she learns what alumni of the Leadership Beaufort do after graduating from the program. Oftentimes, past students will reach out to Hipp and tell her that she inspired them to run for public office or join a board of directors for a local charity. She encourages young people to find a role model and watch what makes other people successful, as she did when she was first starting out. She also stresses the importance for everyone to realize how easy it is to get involved. “I think sometimes people wait until someone asked them to do something,” she said, “and they don’t realize how easy it is to say, ‘How can I help?’ instead.”
Shrimp and Grits Cook-off to benefit Bridges Prep The Fourth Annual Bridges Prep Block Party Shrimp and Grits Cook-off is set for Saturday, April 8, in downtown Port Royal. The event is presented by Ameris Bank and is scheduled from noon until 5 p.m. at Paris Avenue in Port Royal. The event features local chefs competing for top honors with their shrimp and grits, as well as live music, artisans, raffle baskets and family-friendly activities. Chefs will prepare their recipes for the Shrimp and Grits Cook-off at 12:30 p.m. on Paris Avenue and will be ready to serve guests starting at 1:30 until 3:30 PM (or until all is gone). Tickets or ballots for the cook-off will be available to purchase the day of the Block
Party for $20 each. The ballot allows each guest to sample participating chefs’ dishes and then vote for the People’s Choice Award for top shrimp and grits recipe in the Lowcountry. The event also will feature other food vendors. Draft beer and a great selection of boutique wines will be available along with non-alcoholic beverages. Music will be provided by The Walker Harris Band and Night Train. “If you have an eye for unique crafts
will have local artisans set up selling their wares,” said Amy Painton, vice president of the Bridges PTO. “And of course, our event wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the Kids Zone. We will have the Kids Zone set up with bouncy houses and other kid-friendly activities such as a rock climbing wall.” Bridges Block Party Shrimp and Grits Cook-off is the key fundraising event for the fast-growing and academically strong state
charter school in Beaufort. Bridges Prep was named one of South Carolina’s top three charter schools for its academics. Bridges Prep is open to all area students and there isn’t any tuition. “Our goal is to bring our community together for a day filled with fabulous food and family fun,” Painton said. “We want to raise awareness of our school and gain support to benefit our students and their adventures in education. Proceeds from this year’s event will be earmarked for the media center when our new campus opens in Port Royal.” For more information on the Block Party or to make a donation, email organizers at pto@bridgesprep.org.
SCHOOLS
Holy Trinity appoints development team Hank Gulbrandsen has been appointed director of development and Karey Green has been named event director/development representative at Holy Trinity Classical Christian School. They will work together to support Holy Trinity’s faith-based tuition policy, according to a release from the school. When the school was founded, the board of trustees decided to serve and support families by establishing a faith-based tuition policy. Since inception, net tuition payments have covered approximately 60 percent of the school's operating expenses, and donations have covered the remaining 40 percent. Holy Trinity awarded $353,000 in needsbased financial assistance to the families of 40 percent of its students in the 2016-2017 school year. As enrollment continues to grow, the level of funds raised also must increase to sustain the school’s operating viability.
A founding board member, Gulbrandsen has no children or grandchildren in the school, but believes strongly in its mission. He has served as president, vice president and treasurer of the board of trustees, Hank devoting his skills to the Gulbrandsen Finance, Development and Curriculum committees. He is currently a member of the board of governors. In his new position, Gulbrandsen will be responsible for creating strategy for the overall development and stewardship of the school’s annual giving needs and long-term capital expansion needs programs. Further, he is responsible for increasing fundraising through capital, comprehensive and annual campaigns, scholarship and program endowment, major gifts, planned gifts, grants
and cultivating future alumni. “I have been blessed to have served Holy Trinity since its inception,” Gulbrandsen said. “I am amazed at the impact HTCCS is having on its students and families. This ministry excites me more than any other. I can’t wait to continue to share our story and vision as the school’s first director of development.” Green, currently serving as a teacher assistant, has four children enrolled at Holy Trinity. She has consistently volunteered to support major school events, including the Annual Fund Gala Dinner, the Heritage Hall Dance Society President’s Day Ball, the Feed the Need Fundraiser, Teacher Appreciation Week, the Field Day, the Fun Run and annual school theatrical productions. In her new position, Green is responsible for creating, coordinating and conducting HTCCS events, Development activities, do-
nor correspondence, and managing and reporting donor data. “Serving on the Holy Trinity Development Team is a tremendous growth opportunity for me professionally,” she Karey Green says. “It is an ideal fit for the gifts, talents, skill sets and passions that God has given me. I look forward to serving all of our students, parents and donors, as well as creating memorable events that reflect the amazing things that God is doing at HTCCS.” Holy Trinity’s 275 students in grades preschool through nine study Latin, the great works of poetry, literature, art, music, history, phonics and mathematics, all within the framework of a Christ-centered learning environment.

Bridges Prep among top ‘School of Distiction’
Bridges Prep’s academics and academic growth earned it the “School of Distinction” award from the S.C. Charter School District and is one of only three in South Carolina recognized for excellence in both student achievement and academic growth. The State Charter School District cited Bridges for its “exemplary work” improving student academic growth and its strong performance ranking. “We are extremely proud of this honor and we are equally proud of the hard work that went into earning it, hard work by our teachers, our staff, our students and our families,” said Dee Matthews, chair of the Bridges Prep board of directors. Bridges Prep is one of eight schools in South Carolina to be named a School of Distinction, and is one of three in the state to be recognized for both high student achievement and strong rates of academic improvement. The other two state charter schools recognized are in Greenville and Rock Hill. More than 62 percent of Bridges middle schoolers met or exceeded state standards in English/Language Arts and 53 percent of Bridges elementary students met or exceeded standards for ELA. In math, more than 56 percent of Bridges elementary students met or exceeded standards with 49 percent of its middle school students reaching that level. As a state charter school, Bridges Prep is open to all students in the Lowcountry without tuition. Visit www.bridgesprep.org or call 843982-7737.
Holy Trinity talent show set for Friday, April 7
Students, teachers and even some canine performers will show off their talents during the Second Annual Student Talent Show conducted by Holy Trinity Classical Christian School on Friday, April 7, at the Praise Assembly of God Church in Beaufort. The doors will open at 5:30 p.m., and the curtain will go up at 6 p.m. at the church at 800 Parris Island Gateway. The Rev. Chad E. Lawrence, the school headmaster, will serve as master of ceremonies. “This is an extraordinary opportunity for students to showcase their talents outside of the classroom environment,” Headmaster Lawrence says. “I was awestruck by last year’s performances and I can’t wait to see what this year has in store.” Holy Trinity’s 275 students in grades preschool through nine study Latin, the great works of poetry, literature, art, music, histoB2

Students have come to eagerly anticipate the now annual, talent show. “This year’s talent show is amazing,” says Cricket Harter, the lead parent talent show organizer. “The students really understood the importance of preparing for auditions. We had 34 acts sign up and we had to narrow it down to 16 for the show. It was so difficult to choose that we had to have callbacks for the upper school students.” Admission is $5.

Local students win science fair awards
The Beaufort Branch of American Association of University Women (AAUW), along with the University of South Carolina and Beaufort County Public Schools, held the first ever STEM career day recently. The 48 middle school girls from Beaufort County who attended had a fun day of activities with presenters from STEM careers, which include Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. The keynote speaker was Marie McClune who is a retired engineering geologist. During the day each girl participated in three hands-on technical activities of her choice from STEM-related careers where they solved a crime using blood testing, built the tallest tower from paper, followed a Lego specification, built electrical circuits, learned about computer programming and developed mathematical equations with cubes. In addition, all of the technical session leaders explained how fulfilling a career in STEM could be as they gave real-life examples of their own experiences. While the girls were in the workshops their parents/guardians attended discussions with experts in STEM education about how they could support their daughters in pursuing STEM careers.
More than 300 Beaufort County students, all top finishers at individual school science fairs across the county, competed for honors at the 2017 Sea Island Regional Science Fair. Six Beaufort County School District students won first-place awards in their respective categories, including one middle school student who earned “Best in Show” honors: • Jackie O’Riordan (H.E. McCracken Middle): Zoology/Medicine – “Antibiotic Resistance” earned Best-in-Show honors • Alora Orr (River Ridge Academy): Botony/Microbiology – “Powerful Nuts” • Calvin Bernstein (Hilton Head Island Middle): Math/Engineering – “Building a Life-Size BB-8” • August Rios (Bluffton Middle) Physics: “The Effect of the Water-to-Air Ratio in a Submarine to its Buoyancy” • Luke McGuire (Beaufort High) Zoology/Medicine: “Listening to Differences: Analyzing Bat Feeding Behavior.” This project earned the Rob & Melani Walton Sustainability Solutions Initiative as well as the Intel Excellence in Computer Science Award. • Maile Paulmeier (Bluffton High) Math/ Engineering: “A Comparative Analysis of Alternative Heating Methods of an Artificial Nylon Muscle” McGuire and Paulmeier will travel to Los Angeles in May to compete in the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair. O’Riordan will also make the trip as a middle school-level observer. The Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, with more than $4 million in college scholarships and prize awards, is expected to draw more than 1,700 student competitors from 75 countries. More than 7 million students competed at the local level.
Senior Scholars recognized at banquet
Board of Education revises school calendar
Women’s group sponsors program for STEM girls
The Beaufort County School District recently honored 42 high school seniors for outstanding academic achievement at the 2017 Senior Scholars Banquet. Senior Scholars have maintained a cumulative 3.5 grade-point average or higher, are ranked in the top 10 percent of their graduating classes and have earned the equivalent of a 3.5 GPA in all quarters of their high school courses. “These students have worked incredibly hard, they are excellent role models, their potential is off the charts, and they are outstand-
The Beaufort County Board of Education has revised the 2017-18 academic calendar to change the first day of school from Monday, Aug. 21, to Thursday, Aug. 17. By state law, no South Carolina public school can begin classes prior to the third Monday in August, which this year is Aug. 21. But legislation recently approved by the General Assembly allows school districts to begin the 2017-18 year on Aug. 17 because of the solar eclipse that will affect much of South Carolina on Aug. 21. Under the newly revised 2017-18 calendar,
STUDENT OF THE WEEK Nadija Peterson Grade: 4 Whale Branch Elementary School
Nadija was nominated by school counselor Tracey Ruffin. “Nadija is an outstanding student, a born leader, and a very compassionate and caring young lady,” said Ruffin.“She won the Character Education Student of the Month for North of the Broad River for Beaufort County School District Nadija Peterson in October 2016 for Courage/Tolerance, Nadija is a member of the Whale Branch Elementary Chapter of the National Jr. Beta Club. “She is often called upon to greet esteemed visitors to our school because she is pleasant, personable, respectful and has a very friendly attitude. Her consistent academic excellence, social awareness, selflessness and willingness to help others shows her true character. Nadija is a natural nurturer, and works hard to lead the way in her community bringing excellence to whatever she chooses to do. She is creative, artistically gifted, and her quiet demeanor fades as she has alluring stage presence as an actress and singer.” Nadija took some time recently to answer a couple questions. Q: What's your favorite subject and why? A: My favorite subject is science because there are animals, plants and fun experiments. Q: What are some of your accomplishments? A: I performed in our school’s production of “Annie” as, Sandy the dog, and in our musical era production I performed as the musical legend Billie Holiday. I was chosen as the Beaufort County School District’s Character Education Student of the Month for North of the Broad River (Courage/Tolerance). I was honored by the superintendent and board of education. I have received the Principal’s Honor Roll Award numerous times, and I am a straight “A” student.
students will not attend school on the date of the solar eclipse although it will be a work day for teachers and staff. The 2017-18 calendar still includes a longer winter break, a preference indicated by parents and district employees in online surveys last month. The version approved by the board adds an additional day to winter break, which will now begin on Thursday, Dec. 21.

Leaders learn about Marines on land, in air Ask any of the 35 class members who spent all day with Marines from both Parris Island and the Marine Corps Air Station and they’ll tell you what an outstanding firsthand experience they had, according to press release. “I never realized how demanding the training is for recruits and how professional the Marines are at every level,” said Mike Chambers, one of the class members. Sponsored by Clemson University Extension Service and the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce, the Beaufort County Senior Leadership program, opened to all citizens, spent the morning at Parris Island recently observing phases of recruit training which lasts 13 weeks and graduates some 20,000 new Marines each year. During a tour of the Parris Island Recruit Depot, class members experienced initial re-

The program’s participants observed rifle range qualification, drill movements on the parade deck and learned about the seven graduation requirements. A concert by the MCRD band was followed by a tour of the museum and lunch with some of the active duty Marines. The afternoon was spent touring the Marine Corps Air Station where, after receiving a command briefing by the Public Affairs Office, the senior leaders moved to the flight line and were given a demonstration on the aircraft recovery and firefighting capabilities of the air station Marines. The noise level increased as the class watched several F-18s and F-35s from some of Participants in the Beaufort County Senior Leadership program enjoyed Military Ties and the seven aircraft squadrons take off and land.

Beach deprivation is hard on the soul Now what?
HIGHLIGHTING DAILY LIFE OBSERVATIONS
Lee Scott, a writer and recent retiree, shares her everyday observations about life after career. A former commercial banker responsible for helping her clients to reach their business objectives, Scott now translates those analytical skills to her writings. She recently moved to St. Helena Island with her husband and two cocker spaniels. She enjoys boating, traveling and reading.
My friend Bonnie was over the other day and mentioned she was suffering from “Beach Deprivation.” “Can’t you sleep?” I asked. She shook her head and said, “Beach deprivation, not sleep deprivation.” Of course! We are all suffering from lack of beach. It has been six months now since we all scooted out of town and left poor Hunting Island State Park to take the beating. How many of us are suffering the same affliction as Bonnie? We were so used to just jumping in the car and running down there for a walk. Or getting up early and having the beach to ourselves? How many of us took it for granted that our beach was always going to be there? But it is deeper than just missing the
beach. My father used to say that one must stand on a beach at least once a year and breathe in the ocean air. There is something so fulfilling about looking out at the ocean. Originally from Rhode Island – the Ocean State - I have such an affinity for beaches. Maybe this is the reason why during the past six months, I have had the need to visit other beaches. In a way, I am cheating on Hunting Island, but the roads are closed and the signs are up, and so I had no other choice. There was the trip up to Kiawah Island to “watch a marathon,” but truthfully, I just wanted to walk the beach. Then there was the trip to the Florida Panhandle with a quick overnight stop at Miramar Beach. Oh, even the Gulf of Mexico breeze felt good that day as I walked barefoot through

the sand. Those were fun walks, but I miss Hunting Island. I miss watching the sunrise when I was out turtling. I miss seeing the old trees that look like sculptures spread out in the sand. Yes, Hunting Island State Park. I am as beach deprived as Bonnie Wright, past President of the Friends of Hunting Island.
But we volunteers will be there once again, when the gates open to help support in any way we can and try not to take you for granted ever again. We have shovels, chainsaws and whatever other tools are needed to clean up the park. We just want to get in there again! In the meantime, like Bonnie, we all remain beach deprived.
There’s a new approach to paving county’s dirt roads By the Lady’s Island Business and Professional Association
The 2016-17 Beaufort County Transportation Plan includes a change in the method used to determine which county dirt roads are paved. In the past, the Beaufort County Transportation Committee (CTC) selection of which roads are to be paved was based on a rather sophisticated formula that placed emphasis on the amount of use of the road and to determine the need for its paving. With this formula many roads on Lady’s Island have been paved since the inception of the CTC program in 1994 was the recipient of a significant amount of paving of its dirt roads. However, obtaining the necessary right of way often posed a problem and on numerous occasions even required legal action against the property owner in order for Beaufort County to secure the right to pave the road. Today, Lady’s Island has 12 of the 92 miles of the remaining unpaved county dirt roads in the Beaufort County system. For these dirt roads the new system for selection of which county roads are to be paved is set forth in the County Transportation Plan which states as follows:
1. A recognized representative of the requesting dirt road residents wishing to have their road paved shall submit a road improvements request document as provided by the County Engineer’s office with all supporting documents provided by property owners, stating that individual property owners adjacent to the subject roadway will provide signatures of willingness to assist in securing the necessary right of ways to permit the construction of a roadway based upon the design standards of Beaufort county. 2. Such a neighborhood-based request should be submitted during the first calendar quarter of each calendar year and the
County Engineer will present their technical recommendations to the CTC during the second calendar quarter of each year of all dirt roads requested to be improved upon request submitted. The CTC or their agent shall notify the neighborhood representative of the findings during the third calendar quarter of the recommendations based upon the discussions of the CTC. 3. Approved projects shall be programmed based upon the annual master plan of the County Engineer as presented to the CTC based on the work program and funding for such construction projects. It is recognized that the past system of
prioritizing roads for paving (based on a point system for such things as the number of houses, churches, businesses and cost to maintain) did require the county to assume the added burden of taking the lead in acquiring the necessary right of way. However, the new system would appear to rely on the initiative of the individual property owners residing beside a dirt road to not only initiate the request for paving, but also obtain verification that each property owner along the roadway will grant the necessary right of way. As a result of the growing costs and time associated with the legal actions often necessary to secure right of way, we seem to have taken the selection of which county roads to pave from an objective rating system based on need and merit, to a “do it yourself ” system based on individual property owner’s initiative and neighborhoods desire to have their road paved. Admittedly, this makes the process of acquiring right of way much easier, but may not result in those roads with the most need for paving being selected. Perhaps we have missed something in regard to this subject, but when viewed from a citizen’s perspective it does appear this way.
(in lieu of fiberglass). In addition to renovation of the building, a new viewing dock, to replace the one which was destroyed by fire, is scheduled for completion as part of the present phase of construction. Installation of a state of the art security system will accompany the dock construction. The finishing touches on a new parking lot and general landscaping are presently underway.
The next and final phase is construction of a wooden walkway around the 6-acre lake and is in the design phase. Conceived in 2000, donated by a private citizen to the county for a park, and funded as part of the Rural and Critical Land program, Crystal Lake Park should be complete in January 2018. Peggy Allard President, Friends of Crystal Lake
However, the new system would appear to rely on the initiative of the individual property owners residing beside a dirt road to not only initiate the request for paving, but also obtain verification that each property owner along the roadway will grant the necessary right of way.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR More than meets eye happening at Crystal Park
Over 16 years in the making, Crystal Lake Park has recently passed another milestone with the renovation of the existing building and landscaping of the entrance to the park. The building, which was the former headquarters of Butler Marine, will serve as the new home for the Open Land Trust and the Soil and Water Conservation District. It will also
provide public restrooms for park visitors. The newly renovated building will serve as an example of what is possible in energy efficiency when considering new construction or renovation. For example, the building includes a solar array for generation of electricity, an advanced remote energy management system, a very high efficiency HVA unit, LED light fixtures and closed cell insulation in the walls and roof

Just as there are many Chardonnays, or any other variety or category of wine, there are many rosés. They come from different countries, from different sources within one country, from different grape varieties, different winemakers and oOn and on. So, just because we just recently found a new rosé, doesn't mean we can't have another new one, one that is totally different, but still delicious. Our new rosé comes from a brand new wine area (for us, anyhow): the Alpes-deHaute-Provence. Formerly, this small area was part of Provence. It is located in very Southeastern France, with part of its eastern border being Italy. It is an area of plateaus, valleys and hills with tourism (skiing) as its main industry. The area's population is under 200,000 with most living on the valley floors. But, a third of the housing is second homes. It’s great for skiing in the winter, but summers are warm with thunderstorms and wind. White rocks are scattered all over the area in a thin layer of topsoil. Some mountain flowers grow and there are some stunted trees. Deforestation and flooding has resulted in minimum of fertile soil. Small quantities of wine are made, but it is good wine. Most French wines we've had have had AC designations, the top legal level of this country's wines. A second level is IGP, or Indication Geographique Protégée. This level was known as Vin de Pays before the EU. These wines come from designated areas with slightly fewer restrictions and controls that the AC wines. Our wine this week is an IGP from the official Alpes de Haute Provence designation. It is called Les Hautes Palteaux and is made from 40 percent Syrah, 40 percent Grenache and 20 percent Cinsault. These are all

typical varieties for this part of France and all grown in the designated area for the IGP. A quick look at these pieces of our wine might help us enjoy it more. Syrah rosés are usually deeper colored wines. They are bolder wines and can be served a bit warmer to enhance the style. They have white pepper, green olive, strawberry, cherry and peach aromas and flavors, and they tend to pair well with slightly spicy foods. Grenache rosés are more brilliant rose in their color. These have more acidity so they do well served more cold to add zip and freshness. They have ripe strawberry, orange, hibiscus and baking spice (allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon) notes. These wines pair well with traditional Greek food and flavors. Think feta cheese! Cinsault rosés are more pale colored with coral tones, and they are fuller bodied, heavier wines. They have floral notes (violets, roses) with cherries, plums and herbs. Grilled meats and seafoods go well with them. Each of these varieties brings their share to our rosé. Les Hautes Plateaux (which translates to mean the high plains) is salmon colored. It has an intense nose, with gooseberry and tart red fruits in the front. It shows purity and freshness with vibrant red fruit flavors, floral notes, a racy minerality and acidity. It is mouthwatering and juicy. Totally delicious, but still structured and food friendly. Usually it's about $10. But Bill's Liquor has it for only $7.99. Enjoy!
