Sea Island Coalition endorses Whitehall park proposal
FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS By Justin Jarrett The Friday Night Lights will soon be shining in the Lowcountry. The excitement level is at an all-time high in northern Beaufort County, as new coaches have brought renewed enthusiasm at Beaufort High School and Beaufort Academy, a loaded senior class has Whale Branch Early College High School dreaming of a state championship, and a rejuvenated Battery Creek High School program looks to build off last year’s return to the postseason. Beaufort High opens its first sea-
son under former South Carolina star Devonte Holloman, who takes over for longtime coach Mark Clifford after three seasons as defensive coordinator. The Eagles host A.C. Flora at 8 p.m. Friday, but fans will be outside The Nest at 5:30 p.m. to begin tailgating and lined up at 6:30 p.m. for the Eagle Walk. “We are bringing back the old school feel with a new enthusiasm and energy and creating a community feel for Friday Night Lights,” Beaufort High Big Green Booster Club president Ty Reichel said.
“We are fresh, and we are pumped.” The other big game in the area on opening night will be in Seabrook, where Whale Branch hosts Battery Creek in the first of two meetings between the crosstown rivals this season. The Dolphins stunned the Warriors 23-0 last year en route to one of their best seasons in recent memory. Beaufort Academy, bolstered by the hiring of Clifford, will have to wait another week to open its season against visiting Clarendon Hall on Aug. 24.

The End?

The Plaza Stadium Theater on Robert Smalls Parkway, Beaufort’s only remaining indoor movie venue, is on the chopping block to make way for another Publix grocery store, according to reports. It remains unclear as to when the demolition will begin. Beaufort Plaza owner Paul Trask declined to comment on the fate of the theater at this time but said “there will be numerous changes and new businesses at Beaufort Plaza.” One unidentified woman making her way to the theater to watch a matinee show said she was sorry to see the iconic Beaufort building be destroyed. “I’m trying to see as many movies as I can, while I can,” she said. “I guess now we’ll all sit around and watch movies on our devices.” If the project goes through, the Highway 21 Drive-In will be the only theater remaining in northern Beaufort County. The nearest indoor theater would be in Bluffton.
The Sea Island Coalition voted last week to endorse a proposal for a 10-acre public park on the Whitehall tract on Lady’s Island. The endorsement by the Coalition's policy committee came on the heels of assurances from the developer, Sam Levin of Whitehall Point Holdings, that approved plans for the remaining 10-plus acres would not substantially change. Regardless of conversion of 10 acres of Whitehall to parkland, plans remain for approximately 20,000 square feet of retail and commercial development along Sea Island Parkway, a 100-unit "independent living" facility in the interior of the development, and “cottages and cottage homesites" along the eastern and southern borders of the development. "Our concern was that with the conversion of the western portion of Whitehall to parkland, the developer would shift higher density multi-story development to other areas of the Whitehall parcel,” Coalition vice president Mary Sommerville said. “This was discussed with Mr. Levin in several meetings this week, and he has committed to a build-out of the remaining acreage substantially as proposed. This resolved one of our major issues with the park proposal.” A second concern of the coalition was that the Whitehall acreage after a park-related sale be at least 10.2 acres in area, intended to ensure adequate public review if the parcel was ever sold to a third-party. "This provision does not affect current approvals for the site, but if the developer for some reason could not complete his plans, we want to ensure any subsequent purchase and development would be subject to public review by the Metropolitan Planning Commission rather than a simple administrative action by the City of Beaufort,” Sommerville said. “We see Whitehall as a ‘metropolitan’ resource and not the purview of only a single municipality. The Open Land Trust, which is negotiating the details of the parkland purchase, is fully aware of our concerns, and we are hopeful these conditions will be reflected in any final agreement.” The Coalition’s endorsement adds to a groundswell of support for the project. The Friends of Whitehall Park group’s change. org petition supporting the park has garnered more than 2,200 in just two weeks. "The Coalition has been pushing for a park at Whitehall for more than a year now, and we're excited that all the pieces are finally coming together," she said. "The Point at Whitehall is a special site, and it deserves to be conserved and protected." The Friends of Whitehall Park will hold an informational meeting on the property from 9 to 11 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 25. We are. Accreditation

USCB Sand Sharks travel to Upstate for women’s soccer opener The USCB women’s soccer team will open its season at 7 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 17, when the Sand Sharks travel to NCAA Division I USC Upstate. It will be the first meeting between the Sand Sharks and the Spartans. The Sand Sharks have opened
the season on the road twice since the program's inception in 2011, having won both contests. USCB will be looking to lean on the leadership of sophomore Allison Schaffer and seniors Brittney Neser and Melissa Fichtner to get off to a strong start to the 2018 season. All
three were prominent members of a strong back line last season that held opponents to a program-low 118 shots on goal over the season. Interim head coach Jay Harris will be taking the Sand Sharks to the upstate for what will be his first collegiate game as a head coach.
“We know there will not be a much tougher challenge than going to face a good Division I team to start our year,” Harris said. “The team has prepared well over the last couple of weeks, and we are excited to finally get the season started." USC Upstate is led by junior
midfielder Abbie Ellis, who posted six goals and three assists a year ago. In goal, the Spartans return Samantha Munyon, who saw 360 minutes of action across four matches in the 2017 campaign and held a 0.25 goals-against average while making 16 saves.

SPORTS HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL PREVIEWS Beaufort High School
It’s not too often that a high school football team that graduated more than half of its starters comes back with even more confidence and enthusiasm, but that appears to be the case at Beaufort High School this fall. Energized by new head coach Devonte Holloman, the Eagles are eager to begin the 2018 season and see if they can shake their reputation as a team that plays well in the regular season but bows out early in the postseason. “I think it’s changed the program completely,” senior linebacker Will Kelley said of Holloman’s promotion after serving as defensive coordinator the past three seasons. “We’re working a lot harder, we’re in the weight room longer, we practice faster. Everything’s completely different.” The changes have gone beyond the field, too, including more community involvement and team-building. “We didn’t really know what to expect, but we’ve got a lot more people out,” senior quarterback Jeffrey Smyth said. “We’ve worked a lot harder, and it’s going to end up with a better result.” Indeed, the roster has swollen to nearly 100 players between junior varsity and varsity, giving Holloman plenty of options to replace the six starters lost on each side of the ball. The biggest holes to fill are along the offensive line, where every starter graduated. “They’re coming along as expected,” Holloman said. “They’re still going to make some mistakes, but with time they’ll end up being a strength for us, if not this year, then next year.” The offense also has to replace All-Lowco running back Kyliek Middleton, who rushed for 1,260 yards and 15 touchdowns a year ago. Logan Adkins and James Dagin will carry most of the load in the backfield for now, but the Eagles will also open up the offense a bit and let Smyth try to get a talented receiving corps involved more. “We’ll be a balanced offense,” Holloman said. “We’re still Beaufort High, so we’ll run the ball and we’ll play great defense, but you’ve got to be able to pass to be successful and compete against the best.” The Eagles will find out soon enough how they stack up against top competition. Holloman made a point to beef up the non-region schedule, including home games against Effingham County (Ga.) and Wayne County (Ga.) and a trip to powerhouse Valdosta (Ga.). “Something that’s happened to us the past couple years is we kind of walk through the regular season and then we get to the playoffs and kind of get hit with a different atmosphere, a different level of competition,” Holloman said. “It’s something I wanted to put our kids in early, that way when it comes playoff time they’re used to the environment and they’re used to playing strong teams.” BEAUFORT HIGH EAGLES FOOTBALL Coach: Devonte Holloman Record at BHS: 0-0 (1st season) 2017 record: 7-3 overall, 3-2 region, lost in first round of Class 4A playoffs Returning starters: 5 offense, 5 defense Offensive scheme: Spread Defensive scheme: 4-3 Top returners: QB/S Jeffrey Smyth, DT Chase Guynup, LB Will Kelley Notable losses: RB Kyliek Middleton, CB Reggie Jones, OL Isaiah Parker, DL Isaiah WIlson, OL Dylan Williams, OL Woods Langehans, LB Kegan Crowell, DL Reid Daughtry Breakout candidates: RB James Dagin, WR Trae Heyward, WR Reed Reichel, RB Logan Adkins PLAYER TO WATCH Will Kelley, LB: The offensive stars tend to draw more attention, but perhaps the A4

Eagles’ most exciting player is the leader of the defense. Kelley seems to be in on every play and “hits like a truck,” to quote teammate Jeffrey Smyth.
Creek,” junior Brandon Wilson said. “But it’s not about who people come to see, it’s about who they leave talking about. I think they’re going to be talking about us.”
BURNING QUESTION Can the young offensive line get the job done? The Eagles lost seven senior offensive linemen. That’s all of them, if you’re scoring at home. How quickly their young replacements can get up to speed could determine how successful Beaufort High is this season.
BATTERY CREEK DOLPHINS FOOTBALL Coach: Walt Wilson Record at BCHS: 4-6 (2nd season) 2017 record: 4-6 overall, 2-2 region, lost in first round of Class 3A playoffs Returning starters: 7 offense, 8 defense Top returners: RB/LB/P/K Brandon Benke, TE/DE Brandon Wilson, RB Trey Booth, QB Jordan Gwyn Notable losses: OL Byron McClain, DL Ahman Smalls, WR/DE Sayrend Musgrove Jr., WR Trey Chancey, OL Dizayuh Hinton Breakout candidates: WR/FS Jordon Wilson-Smalls, OL/DE Myles Middleton

Battery Creek High School
PLAYER TO WATCH Jordon Wilson-Smalls, WR/FS: The state champion in the high jump could be a huge weapon on both sides of the ball for the Dolphins. He’s a major downfield threat and an ideal red-zone target for Gwyn. BURNING QUESTION How good can the Dolphins be in the trenches? There’s plenty of talent at the skill positions and lots of experience on defense, but the top two offensive linemen were lost to graduation, leaving an inexperienced group up front. If they can jell and hold their own, a winning season is well within reach. REGION AND BEYOND Defending region champion Wade Hampton is probably the preseason favorite to repeat, but the Dolphins are among the most likely teams to unseat the Red Devils. We’ll know a whole lot more when Battery Creek hosts Wade Hampton on Sept. 21, which conveniently comes after an open week for the Dolphins, who should be fresh and ready to make a statement.
During his first season at Battery Creek, Walt Wilson talked a lot about the “old Battery Creek” – a mindset the Dolphins were trying to move away from. The transition might not be complete, but the transformation certainly is underway. After winning four games and reaching the Class 3A playoffs, where they nearly stunned Bishop England on the road, the Dolphins enter Wilson’s second season with a level of confidence not often found in Burton in recent years. “Last year we laid the foundation,” senior lineman Myles Middleton said. “This year we know what we need to do. We’re ready to go.” Middleton is one of the anchors on a defensive line that figures to be a strength for the Dolphins, who had impressive defensive showings in a shutout of Whale Branch and region wins over Ridgeland-Hardeeville and May River last season. The offense returns plenty of weapons, including quarterback Jordan Gwyn, running back Trey Booth, and receiver Denarol Brown. The Dolphins averaged 33.7 points in their last three contests and expect to pick up where they left off. “We’re going to be in the end zone more often,” Gwyn said. “We’re going to surprise a lot of teams this year.” Battery Creek won its last two regular-season games last season, then stormed back from a big early deficit before falling 32-26 at Bishop England, showing signs that the culture change is producing results. “I always say to be disciplined means to be 5 out of 5,” Wilson said. “When I got there, Battery Creek was 1 out of 5. We got in the middle of the year last year, we moved up and got to about 2 out of 5, and then 3. Right now, we’re about 4 out of 5, but that still isn’t where we need to be. We need to be 5 out of 5 to have that consistency and mindset to understand what it’s going to take day in and day out.” In other words, they’re close to leaving the old Battery Creek behind and putting together their first winning season since 2012. “Some people might be shocked because they still have ideas about the old Battery

favorable, but they’ll make up for it during region play. Whale Branch will compete in a loaded Region 5-2A along with powerhouses Barnwell and Bamberg-Ehrhardt, as well as strong programs in Allendale-Fairfax and Woodland. The Warriors figure to be battle-tested by the time they get to the postseason, but they feel they can compete in the stout new region. They have to replace two key offensive linemen but have tons of talent returning in the backfield, including Wofford commit Irvin Mulligan, who earned first-team All-Lowco honors after rushing for more than 1,400 yards and 23 TDs last season. Quarterback CJ Brown also is back, and the Warriors can plug in a number of other running backs to help carry the load. “Irvin is Irvin, but what we have now is backs in the backfield with him who are very capable,” Hatcher said. “The people who complement Irvin are better than they were last year.” The defense is a work in progress despite returning eight starters, Hatcher said, but there’s enough talent and experience back on that side of the ball to believe things will fall into place by the time region play starts Sept. 28. Until then, the Warriors will be focused on one opponent at a time and trying to build toward a deep postseason run. “The goal is to get to Columbia, but we can’t talk about it too much,” senior Kyshon Hipp said. “Last year we talked about it too much and we fell off with that 0-4 start. This year we’re going to go out there and play. We’re not going to do so much talking.” WHALE BRANCH WARRIORS FOOTBALL Coach: Jerry Hatcher Record at WBECHS: 37-31 (7th season) 2017 record: 6-5 overall, 5-0 region, lost in second round of Class 2A playoffs Returning starters: 7 offense, 8 defense Offensive scheme: Split-back Defensive scheme: 4-2-5 Top returners: RB Irvin Mulligan, QB CJ Brown, C Aaron Rhode, G Daquan Griswold, LB Jaheim Fripp, LB Kyshon Hipp, CB Taqui Polite, CB Jaheem Hazel, WR Trevaughn Hipp, S Marion Smalls, DT Jaquan Fripp Notable losses: T Anthony McVay, G Carus Epps, CB Jordon Reeves, RB Roscoe Fields Breakout candidates: RB/WR Jadon Grant, OT Xavier Chaplin PLAYER TO WATCH Jaheem Hazel, RB/CB: Hazel is overshadowed by fellow Wofford commit Mulligan, but he’s an outstanding two-way player. A lock-down cornerback, he earned All-Lowco honors with nine pass breakups and five interceptions last season, and he will line up at running back and quarterback at times to give the Warriors another offensive threat. BURNING QUESTION Can the Warriors stop the run? Whale Branch’s defense had a bend-but-don’tbreak quality last season, but an opportunistic secondary was usually there to come up with a turnover in a big spot. The secondary should be strong again, but there are questions about whether the front seven is ready to stop power running games like they’ll face in the region.
They’re doing their best to avoid getting ahead of themselves, but it’s obvious when talking to members of the Whale Branch football team that something special could blossom in Seabrook this fall. With most of their top players back from last year’s region championship squad and a roster loaded with 10 juniors and 15 seniors, the Warriors have high hopes for 2018. “I see that we have potential to be something we haven’t been in the past,” coach Jerry Hatcher said. “I’m not going to look that far ahead because the wheels could come off, but athletically and physically, this is the best group I’ve had since I’ve been here.” They felt equally confident going into last season before starting with four straight losses to fellow Beaufort County schools from larger classifications – Battery Creek, Beaufort High, Bluffton, and Hilton Head High. The district lifted the rule that required the Warriors to play all those teams, so the early-season schedule is a bit more
REGION AND BEYOND Not to belabor the point, but this is a brutal region. Bamberg-Ehrhardt and Barnwell played in the Lower State final last season and will likely begin the year ranked in the top five in the state. Even the third-place team from the region will be capable of doing some damage in the playoffs, and don’t be surprised if three teams from Region 5-2A are among the last four teams standing in the Lower State.

BCSD announces finalists for 2018-19 Teacher of the Year
Five classroom teachers have been named as finalists for Beaufort County’s 2018-19 District Teacher of the Year. The finalists are Brittany Carter, science teacher at Bluffton High School; Tamekia Ford, sixth-grade English teacher at Whale Branch Middle School; Cora Lugo, literacy teacher at Hilton Head Island School for the Creative Arts; Kelly Hall, theater arts teacher at Beaufort Middle School; and Karen McKenzie, eighth-grade social studies teacher at H.E. McCracken Middle School. Superintendent Herb Berg announced the five selections before an audience of more than 1,000 educators at the opening session of 2018 Summer Institute, the district’s annual three-day summer professional development conference. This year’s conference is being held at Bluffton High School. “The secret to a school’s success is not really much of a secret,” Berg said. “It’s having a solid corps of bright, capable, dedicated and hard-working classroom teachers. Our five finalists for District Teacher of the Year are terrific examples of the kind of top-quality

JACOB kit program expands With teachers returning to their classrooms this week, as part of the JACOB Kit program and in partnership with the Beaufort County School District, Beaufort County fire departments plan to meet with teachers to refresh them on this student safety program and aim to expand the program into new schools. Last year, fire departments in Beaufort County launched the JACOB Kit program for local schools. The program is named after 6-year-old Jacob Hall of Townville, S.C., who died from wounds sustained in a school shooting in 2016. The program involves placing bleeding control kits in every classroom and training teachers in techniques on how to stop critical bleeding. In preparation for the new school year, before students arrive, firefighters will refresh teachers on the JACOB Kit program and on bleeding control techniques, as well as expand the program into two new schools in Beaufort County. Lady’s Island/St Helena Fire District continues to seek funding to expand their program, which they have implemented in St. Peters and Coosa elementary schools. The City of Beaufort-Town of Port Royal Fire Department is working in conjunction with all emergency services partners to ensure all aspects of emergency response, including that of school staff with the use of bleeding control kits, are preparing for any type of incident within the schools of their jurisdiction. Beginning this school year, the JACOB Kit program will be implemented in nine schools in Beaufort County. In addition to Beaufort County, the Ridgeland Fire Department in Jasper County plans to implement the JACOB Kit program at Thomas Heyward Academy and Step of Faith Christian Academy. To date, the program has been funded largely through citizen donations and grants. Citizens wishing to donate to the program can contact their local fire department or email safetyed@burtonfd.org. Beaufort County fire officials say the JACOB kit program is critical to saving lives by providing teachers the training and resources to bridge the time gap between a child being wounded and professional medical response.
Over 400 JACOB Kits prepared to ship out across the U.S. from North American Rescue
“We are excited about the traction these (Jacob kits) are getting throughout the state. In the past, emergency responders had to hang back until the area had been secured. That takes a long time. These kits help dress a wound or apply a tourniquet with one object in mind – stop the bleeding and give the victim a chance to get to a trauma center.” Will Vaigneur Lady’s Island / St. Helena Fire Marshal
USCB opens Graduate Interdisciplinary Studies Conference to public The University of South Carolina Beaufort (USCB) will conduct its fourth annual Gateway to Interdisciplinary Graduate Studies Conference (GIGS) from 9:45 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sept. 14 in the Student Campus Center on the Bluffton Campus at 1 University Blvd. The conference showcases quality graduate education opportunities that are available to USCB students across disciplines. It lends perspective to the high quality of undergraduate research performed at USCB and connects it to higher education perspectives available to the USCB student body. The 2017 GIGS Conference had more than 200 registered participants, and an even a bigger turnout is expected in 2018. In a departure from last year’s event, the 2018 conference will be open to the public. “We decided to open it to the public so we can strengthen the bond between the community and USCB,” says Lukasz Pawelek, an Assistant Professor of Spanish in the university’s humanities department. Lukasz Pawelek is one of five faculty members, along with Carey Fitzgerald, Jody Thompson, Kasia Pawelek, and Swati Debroy, who are organizing the event. Speakers from various universities throughout the region will discuss the benefits of higher education not only at the un-
dergraduate level, but also at the graduate level. Conference attendees will gain a better understanding of the university and its role in the community as well as graduate school application procedures. The GIGS conference will feature presentations by invited faculty members from area universities, Q&A sessions about diverse graduate programs, scholarships and fellowships offered by area universities, and a graduate school workshop. Speakers at this year’s conference will represent Nova Southeastern University, the Medical University of North Florida, the University of North Carolina, the University of North Carolina Wilmington, and others. In addition, this year’s conference will feature a USCB returning alumni panel that illuminates their pathways to success granted by the academic opportunities available at USCB. The keynote address will be delivered by Sara Del Valle (PhD.), Deputy Group Leader for the Information Systems and Modeling Group at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. Her remarks will be followed by a series of 20-minute presentations and workshops from: • Keynote Speaker: Sara Del Valle, Deputy Group Leader for the Information Systems and Modeling Group at the Los Alamos National
Laboratory • Shane McDonald, Assistant Program Director and Assistant Professor, Department of Anesthesia, Nova Southeastern University • Chiradip Chatterjee, Assistant Professor of Economics, Coggin College of Business, University of North Florida • Indranil Ghosh, Associate Professor of Statistics, Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of North Carolina Wilmington • Vanessa Gant Clark, Medical University of South Carolina • Carey Fitzgerald, Associate Professor of Psychology, University of South Carolina Beaufort • Ashlan Prince, Graduate Student in Clinical Psychology M.S.

trict Teacher of the Year submitted detailed applications in July. In the second step, a selection committee consisting of parents, former educators and community leaders from across Beaufort County reviewed the applications and rated them using a numerical scoring system. The five highest-scoring applicants were named as finalists. In the next step, the five finalists will be interviewed by a separate review committee again composed of judges from across the county. The judges will begin by reviewing a video of each teacher doing a classroom lesson. The judges will then score candidates based on how well they respond to questions about their teaching methods as shown in the video, as well as how they respond to questions about current education issues. After those interviews, the panel will select a District Teacher of the Year to represent Beaufort County’s classroom professionals. Last year’s Teacher of the Year was Beaufort High School biology teacher Dr. Nancy Ungvarsky.

It will house the university’s first three cohorts of honors students as well as returning students enrolled in the USCB Department of Visual Art & Design. “We named the honors program as a tribute to Beaufort College, which was founded here in this city in 1795, and forms a vital part of our heritage,” Dr. Panu said. “This beautiful apartment complex represents a reaffirmation of our commitment to that partnership and to the Beaufort community. The Beaufort College Honors Housing Complex is a new branch grown from a root system that has been deeply planted here since the 18th century. It represents not only a revitalization of our Beaufort Campus, but also a restoration of the incredible importance of this community in both the history and the future of USCB. We proudly return here to launch our first honors programs in Biology, Nursing and Lowcountry Studies.” USCB’s honors scholars will spend their freshmen and sophomore years learning and living together in cohorts dedicated to their field of study. Best practices have shown that students grouped into residential-learning cohorts experience accelerated campus-life engagement, enhanced academic progress, and a greater likelihood of earning a baccalaureate degree in four years. The Beaufort College Honors Biology Program will offer opportunities for both experiential learning and undergraduate research in coastal ecology and biomedical studies. After completing their first two years on the Beaufort Campus, the students will transition to the Bluffton Campus to complete the degree requirements. The Beaufort College Honors Nursing Program will offer students direct acceptance into the USCB Nursing Program. They also will transition to the Bluffton Campus for their junior and senior years. The Beaufort College Honors Lowcountry Studies Program is the only one of its kind in the nation. The program will provide its students with a broad educational and professional foundation in the study of Lowcountry culture, traditions and institutions. Lowcountry honors students will transition to the Bluffton Campus after their freshman year in Beaufort. “The need for dedicated teachers and skilled nursing professionals in the Lowcountry is growing ever greater,” Dr. Panu said. “It is our fondest hope that our honors students will remain here after graduation to teach in our classrooms and support the health care needs of those in our region.” AUGUST 16-22, 2018

Driver rescued from early-morning wreck Burton and MCAS Beaufort firefighters responded to a two-vehicle accident early on Tuesday, Aug. 14, in which a trapped driver was rescued by fire crews. Just before 5:30 a.m., Burton and MCAS Beaufort firefighters responded to a report of a motor vehicle accident at the intersection of Laurel Bay Road and Trask Parkway. Initial reports were a driver was injured and trapped inside the wreckage. Fire crews arrived to find the male driver of a pickup truck trapped inside. Firefighters from both departments worked to free the driver while paramedics from Beaufort County EMS began treatment. The driver was removed and transported to Beaufort Memorial Hospital with what
appear to be serious but non-life-threatening injuries. The driver of the other vehicle was uninjured. Fire officials say this intersection and Laurel Bay Road have been the scene of numerous serious accidents, including fatalities. Burton and MCAS Beaufort fire departments work together routinely on such scenes. Traffic at the intersection of Laurel Bay Road and Trask Parkway was delayed for more than an hour while emergency crews rescued the driver and removed roadway hazards. The Burton Fire District has responded to approximately 150 motor vehicle accidents in 2018, five of which involved trapped occupants being rescued.
Back-to-back fire calls show importance of smoke alarms The Burton Fire District responded to back-to-back cooking fires on Friday, Aug. 10, in which the presence of working smoke alarms played a role in the end result. Burton and MCAS firefighters responded to the first cooking fire in the Independent Mobile Home Park on Shanklin Road just after 5 p.m. The resident was able to extinguish the flames before the arrival of fire crews, but not before the fire caused damages to his kitchen and surrounding walls. The homeowner said after he made dinner he placed the pan of grease back on the stove but had forgotten to turn the burner off. The home had no working smoke alarms, and the resident wasn’t aware of the growing fire until he saw the flames. Firefight-
ers used thermal imaging cameras to ensure that the fire was fully extinguished, helped remove smoke from the home, and installed two smoke alarms in the home before they left.
An hour later, Burton and Beaufort/Port Royal firefighters responded to a fire alarm at a home in the Picket Fences subdivision on Parris Island Gateway. Firefighters arrived and found
no flames or damages. The homeowners were outside on the porch when they heard their smoke alarms and were able to remove a smoldering pot on the stove before the flames erupted. The fire alarms were also connected to a monitored alarm system, which simultaneously alerted firefighters who were immediately dispatched. Burton fire officials continue to stress the contrast between fire damages, injuries, and deaths in homes with smoke alarms and those without. Residents who need assistance obtaining smoke alarms, or need help or have any questions pertaining to the ones they have, are encouraged to contact their local fire department. Residents in the Burton Fire District can do so by emailing safetyed@ burtonfd.org.
NEW LAW CRACKS DOWN ON LITTERING Gov. Henry McMaster has signed legislation that revises state litter laws to give officers and the courts greater flexibility in the prosecution of litter cases. The new law also makes it easier to achieve court-ordered community service/litter pick up by removing the requirement for supervision. McMaster signed Act 214 of 2018, amending Section 16-11-700 of the South Carolina Code of Laws which regulates the state’s litter laws. Littering in South Carolina has been a popular topic in recent years as social media has given a voice to the many concerned citizens who are frustrated with the amount of trash thrown out on our roadways and the amount of unsecured loads along our highways. Members of the General Assembly and local governments have taken an interest in the subject and are passionately engaging how we address littering in the state. “Today, Gov. McMaster opened our law enforcement tool box a little wider for those of us who tirelessly work to protect our state’s beauty and cleanliness”, said Jamie Nelson, Director of Environmental Enforcement for Spartanburg County. Nelson represented the South Carolina Litter Control Association (SCLCA) during the legislative process. SCLCA is comprised of litter and code enforcement officers spe-
cifically assigned to handle litter concerns. “We have heard the concerns of law enforcement entities about the fines and from judges in upholding the fines or assigning community service,” said Nelson. “Act 214 takes away those barriers. There are no excuses anymore for not writing the tickets.” Defining categories for litter and illegal dumping, assigning appropriate fines and allowing for more litter pickup as the community service requirement is vital for real change in litter control enforcement. Greater discretion for fines to “fit the crime” will allow for more officer participation in enforcing litter laws. “We understand that some law enforcement agencies don’t have resources to commit to full-time litter control, but for the sake of our communities and economic opportunities, we can’t afford to not enforce littering violations,” said Sarah Lyles, executive Director of PalmettoPride. A Summary of Act 214 • Up to 15 pounds — Persons convicted of placing litter, as defined, on public or private property must remove that litter and shall be fined not less than $25 and not more than $100, or up to 30 days in jail, and the court must impose eight hours of “litter gathering or other form of community service.”
• Between 15 and 500 pounds (illegal dumping) — Persons convicted must be fined not less than $200 nor more than and and $500, or up to 30 days in jail, and the court shall require 16 hours of litter gathering or other community service. Community service increases to 24 hours upon a second conviction, and 32 hours for a third conviction within five years. • More than 500 pounds (illegal dumping) — Persons convicted must be fined not less than $500 nor more than $1,000, and up to a year in jail. The violator also may be ordered to remove the dumped litter, pay damages, and perform community service. Fines for dumping more than 500 lbs of litter may not be suspended. • Other provisions — This act defines litter and illegal dumping as separate offenses which caused confusion when enforcing violations on both public and private owned properties. The new law makes it easier to achieve court-ordered community service/litter pick up by removing the requirement for supervision. The litter gathering community service portion of the penalty may not be suspended, except the court may, upon request, accept an additional monetary penalty equal to $15 per hour in lieu of the community service. Probation may be granted only due to physical or other incapacities.
BJWSA receives Industry Leader Award The National Safety Council (NSC) has honored Beaufort-Jasper Water & Sewer Authority (BJWSA) with a 2018 Industry Leader Award. The award is a component of the NSC's member-exclusive Safety Awards Program. The Industry Leader Award benchmarks outstanding safety achievements among member companies based on self-reported data.

SC Constitutional Ballot Commission approves amendment wording for November South Carolina’s Constitutional Ballot Commission gave its unanimous approval Thursday to the wording of a constitutional amendment that will be on November’s ballot. The commission is made up of Attorney General Alan Wilson, Director of the State Election Commission Marci Andino, and Ashley Harwell-Beach, representing the Director of Legislative Council. If the amendment passes, it would change the way South Carolina’s superintendent of education is chosen starting in January 2023. Now, voters elect the superintendent. The amendment asks voters if they want to change that so future governors would A6

choose a superintendent, with the consent of the state Senate. The Constitutional Ballot Commission makes sure that any amendment questions are understandable for most voters. The ballot will list the actual wording of the amendment with an explanation underneath that. “The amendment to the Constitution is very long and legalistic,” Attorney General Wilson said. “The explanation is one short sentence. And basically when we meet, we want to distill this down to what is it you’re voting for? And what you’re voting for is do you want to elect the superintendent of education or do you want the governor to ap-
point the superintendent of education?” Here’s the wording of the actual amendment: “Must Section 7, Article VI of the Constitution of this State, relating to state constitutional officers, be amended so as to provide that beginning in January 2023, or upon a vacancy in the office of Superintendent of Education after the date of the ratification of the provisions of this paragraph, whichever occurs first, the Superintendent of Education must be appointed by the Governor, with the advice and consent of the Senate; to provide that the appointed Superintendent of Education shall serve at the pleasure of the Governor; and to require the General
Assembly to provide by law for the duties, compensation, and qualifications for the office?” The accompanying explanation reads: “A ‘Yes’ vote will require the Superintendent of Education be appointed by the Governor with the consent of the Senate. A ‘No’ vote maintains the current method of electing a Superintendent of Education.” Within the last few years, voters have approved constitutional amendments to make the state adjutant general a position appointed by the governor instead of being elected, and to have candidates for lieutenant governor run on the same ticket as candidates for governor instead of running separately.

Truth Matters
Come to the Feast! Seeking the Fullness of Truth
Which table to choose? An enormous banquet hall is filled with large tables, ready for a Thanksgiving meal. Some tables are overflowing with a turkey and a great number of side dishes. Other tables have a turkey but seem to be missing quite a few dishes. Many tables do not have a turkey, but they do have some of the side dishes. Wouldn’t you want to be with your loved ones at one of the overflowing tables? This is an analogy for Christianity and other religions. The turkey would represent belief in Jesus and having a living relationship with him. The side dishes would represent all of the other truths that God has revealed about himself, and all the gifts that he wishes us to have for our journey with him. So there are tables that do not have a turkey at all; these are the non-Christian religions. And there are tables with a turkey, but with more or fewer side dishes; these are the different Christian faiths. Are all religions the same? One often hears, “All religions are equal, so it doesn’t matter what faith a person is.” But since the major world religions make different claims about objective truth, they can’t all be equally true. If Jesus is truly God who became man, then it matters whether one knows Jesus, and we would want to share him with non-Christians! But even the tables without turkey are not bare of all nourishment. This illustrates how Christians can recognize and appreciate that other religions can have certain aspects of truth, such as true moral teachings or insights into God.
Are all Christian faiths the same? The different Christian churches all have a love for Christ, and share him in common. But there are also many areas of disagreement on important truths, such as doctrines of morals or salvation. This means that in such areas, some churches are mistaken and are unintentionally teaching error, and thus don’t have all of the “side dishes.” In other words, members are not receiving all the gifts and truths that God wants them to have on their journey with him. Are you seeking the fullness of truth? As with our banquet example, we want not only Jesus, but also all the other gifts and truths that he meant for us to have. This is what we mean by “the fullness of truth.” We can have many reasons to belong to a particular church, such as our upbringing or having friends there. But isn’t it even more important to search for the fullness of truth, and make sure that we are receiving all the gifts Jesus wants us to have?

Women’s Abstract Art Exhibition coming to USCB Show runs from Sept. 4 through Oct. 12
They found each other on the Facebook group “35 Women of Expressive Abstracts,” dedicated to what they love the most: abstract art. Over the last year, they became each other’s sounding boards, always encouraging one another to express themselves through their art. They bonded through their mentor and teacher Steven Aimone, whose teachings based on his book, “Expressive Drawing,” gave them the tools and exercises to explore their particular art form. Twenty-five of the women from 12 different states have organized an extensive abstract art exhibition called “Inside Out: Expressing Our Inner Voices,” which will run from Sept. 4 through Oct. 12 at USCB’s Center for the Arts, with an opening reception from 5:30-7 p.m. on Sept. 6. The same exhibition showed at North Charleston City Gallery in August. “Some of these artists are nationally
and internationally known, some are novices,” said Penny Beesley, a member from Beaufort who is organizing the local event. “There will be large, explosive pieces and small intimate ones.” Abstract Expressionism is a movement that started in New York in the 1940s. It remained a largely male-dominated scene for decades — sidelining female abstract artists who were coming out of this movement. Those women — Helen Frankenthaler, Joan Mitchell, Lee Krasner, Grace Hartigan, Judith Godwin and more — have inspired many of the women from “Inside Out.” “Inside Out” celebrates female artists at a time when more women are speaking up and being noticed across a wide spectrum of issues. Through online group social media pages and in-person workshops, the students of Steven Aimone connect daily with dynamic
art that allows them to hone their skills and truly capture their own perspective. “We, as artists, thrive from seeing others’ abstract works,” said Melinda Hoffman, a participating artist from South Carolina. “We brainstorm painting surfaces. We talk about ways to hang work. We talk about motivators and share our painting ‘ups and downs’ with each other. We share gallery shows and let everyone see what we are doing in our town.” Peggy Vineyard, a participating artist from North Carolina, said she hopes that “Inside Out” will help people understand abstract art better — that it’s a unique medium where creative artists work from within to create something “meaningful, thoughtful and beautiful.” Abstract art offers a unique outlet to express an array of emotions — love, fear, freedom, frustration and joy — because there are no rules. “I think the shared language means our
love for thinking and painting outside of the box — from deep unconscious feelings and working from our intuition,” said Vineyard. Participating artists are: Andrea Baetti (Georgia); Penny Beesley (South Carolina); Juanita Bellavance (Georgia); Billie Bourgeois (Louisiana); Carolyn Busenlener (Mississippi); Annette Cargill (Ohio); Mary Beth Cornelius (Georgia); Annette Crosby (Georgia); Bre Barnett Crowell (North Carolina); Debbie Ezell (Georgia); Melinda Hoffman (South Carolina); Marcia Holmes (Louisiana); Gayle Hurley (Alabama); Suzanne Jacquot (California); Annette Margulies (Florida); Thyra Moore (Maryland); Wendy Nicholas (Florida); Vicki Overstreet (Mississippi); Kate Pendleton (Georgia); Betty Perry (Georgia); Nancy Perry (South Carolina); Garnet Reardon (Georgia); Kathy Blankley Roman (Illinois); Nell Tilton (Louisiana); and Peggy Vineyard (North Carolina).

Our Prince Of Scribes book to be launched Sept. 18 Featuring more than a dozen local writers honoring Pat Conroy
New York Times best-selling writer Pat Conroy (1945–2016) inspired a worldwide legion of devoted fans numbering in the millions, but none are more loyal to him and more committed to sustaining his literary legacy than the many writers he nurtured over the course of his 50-year writing life. In sharing their stories in the forthcoming anthology, “Our Prince of Scribes: Writers Remember Pat Conroy,” Pat’s fellow writers honor his memory and advance our shared understanding of his lasting impact on 20th- and 21st-century literary life in and well beyond the American South.

“Blending Digital Art with Photography” theme of BAA show Beaufort Art Association (BAA) Gallery presents an exhibit entitled “Blending Digital Art with Photography” featuring artist Gordon Fritz from Sept. 2 to Oct. 28. A reception for the artist will be held at the Gallery located at 913 Bay Street in Beaufort on Friday, Sept. 7, from 5–7:30 p.m. The public is invited. The use of Digital Art and Photography has become very popular with the advent of the Giclee printing process and the digital camera. This combination prevents fading of photographic prints. Quality Giclee prints have an archival life of almost 200 years. According to artist Gordon Fritz, digital art and photography have now joined the 21st century. “These new developments in the photographic process have expanded its role as an artist’s tool,” Fritz says. “In the past, a photograph might have been used to capture an image that many B2

artists used as a reference point in creating their final image. Today,
it can be a vital part of that final image, which is no more related
to a photograph than a watercolor painting is. The end product of the digital conversion of an image via several computer software programs to capture what is seen by the creative eye of the artist may be a mixed media print using digital processes, watercolor paint, acrylics or any medium.” Fritz describes himself as a biologist, naturalist, teacher, photographer and graphic artist. A photographer since his college days, he has used his photographs to study the projected environmental impacts of various Southern coastal real estate developments,
such as Kiawah Island, Belle Isle, and Moss Creek Plantation. As the photographic process evolved into an art form, he applied it to his work with the hybridization of new varieties of daylilies, creating images of his new cultivars. Some of those images will be included in the exhibit at the Beaufort Art Association Gallery. Fritz’s work has been described as “stunning imagery” and “cutting edge beauty.” In reality, he says, he and his creative work are laid back and immersed in the coastal salt marshes and forest of his home overlooking the ACE Basin along the Coosaw River. Besides his 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 currently 175 local artists.

Remembering The Keeper
Friends of Hunting Island honor former lighthouse keeper The Friends of Hunting Island continued their 25th anniversary celebration with a special ceremony honoring the island’s last lighthouse keeper last week. On Friday, Aug. 10, the group held a ceremony at the Parish Church of St. Helena Cemetery at St. Luke’s Gate on Newcastle Street in downtown Beaufort, honoring former lighthouse keeper Theodore Gaillard and his wife, Estelle Ellen. A U.S. Lighthouse Service grave marker was placed on each of their graves with a benediction by Rev. Todd Simonis, and a bugler from the U.S. Coast Guard played Taps. An honor guard of 20 men and women from the Coast Guard was on hand to honor Keeper Gaillard. A poster with a photo of Keeper Gaillard and his wife was on display, and Ted Panayotoff of the Friends of Hunting Island gave a summary of Keeper Gaillard’s Lighthouse Service and Coast Guard career. Two great-grandsons of Keeper Gaillard, Mark and Gary Gaillard, were guests at the ceremony. The Hunting Island Lighthouse was deactivated in 1933 and is the only formerly-working lighthouse in South Carolina that is open to visitors. The celebration continued on Saturday, Aug. 11, on Hunting Island with the Beaufort Harbormasters presenting a concert of maritime and traditional songs to honor and celebrate the history of the historic lighthouse.

CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN Now what?
While enjoying a nice breakfast recently at a local waterfront restaurant, I noticed something strange over the door leading out to the screened porch. I did not have my glasses on and could not see it clearly, but I knew right away it was unusual. Turning to my husband, I asked, “What is that thing?” “That,” he replied, “is Captain Pig.” At least that is what it looked like to him, and turning around I had to agree. It did kind of look like Porky Pig. But after putting on my glasses, I realized that it really did not look anything like a pig. The Captain was actually a recycled decorative ornament with a head made out of a plastic jug. The container looked like it might have held boat soap or maybe oil. Around its neck appeared to be the cord of an old VHF radio. The bulging blue eyes held a warm look and his mouth, in the perfect “O” shape, made him look like he was in the middle of a sentence or calling out into the fog. The hat looked like something an old sailor or waterman would wear, and top-

ping it off appeared to be an insignia of some sort. We could not decide if he was also wearing goggles, like the type a World War I pilot might wear. The Captain is the perfect decoration for a waterfront restaurant. The nautical theme adds to the restaurant’s atmosphere. There is also something fun about looking up and seeing him gazing over the room. The restaurant does have other nautical themed items, including a crab made of bottle caps hanging over the bar, which is quite original too. They are all outside of the normal decorations you see in some restaurants. This kind of creativity always amazes me. Seems like people
are turning recycled items into art every day. When I asked the women working in the restaurant where the Captain came from, they said it had been there when the previous owners had the place and had been officially turned over to the new management. I suggested they might consider having a contest to name the Captain. It seems a shame to have him overseeing the place and not having people greet him properly. To me, my husband’s “Captain Pig” does not give him the proper respect as overseer of the room. So, if you are over on Saint Helena Is-
land some day and looking for a place to eat, you might want to go to Sweetgrass Restaurant and check out the Captain. It would be nice to have some creative individual come up with a proper name for the old guy.
Federal flood insurance program faces uncertain future By Bill Rauch
Recently NFIP officials have begun saying in 2019 they will roll out a new path forward for the program to Last week Congress quietly kicked the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) can down the road three months, once again become self-sustaining (they say using “riskbased pricing”) in 2020. They have to just past the November elections. The program — which kept the details of their plan to themfor most of us who live near the Carolina coast is the underselves so far and it is likely their silence writer of our flood insurance — has been kicked around a will continue through the November good bit in recent years. midterm elections. It’s got some dings in it for sure. But here are a couple of hints. Seeking to cover the claims arising from 2017’s HurriWhen he signed the $16 billion check canes Harvey, Irma and Maria, for example, the NFIP had last November, President Trump suggestto be bailed out by Congress (President Trump signed the Bill Rauch ed what he called some “common-sense bill) to the tune of the $16 billion it lent the program last year. But that big check notwithstanding, the program is steps” that NFIP should take to make itself again self-sufficient. The president’s suggestions were: large scale buyouts, now in hock another $20.5 billion for more recent claims. Up until Hurricane Katrina in 2005 the NFIP program stiffer disaster-resistant building codes, requiring that existwas largely self-sustaining — which means aside from a few ing buildings be elevated, and financial rewards to commuglitches the premiums generally covered the claims — but nities that devise and implement new and unconventional as the seas have risen since then Congress has repeatedly approaches. Here’s another hint. A year ago Brock Long, the presihad to step in with subsidies in the form of forgiven debts dent’s appointee who heads the Federal Emergency Manto prop up the program. Congress and presidents clearly bridle at writing these big agement Agency (FEMA), suggested regulatory change that would shift the responsibility for preparing for and cleaning checks. But what to do? Premiums went up on average by about 8 percent across up after disasters to states, counties, cities, and homeowners. the board this year. That’s a big pill, but it’s well under the “I don’t think the taxpayers should reward risk going for18 percent per year residential cap Congress imposed on ward,” he said then. This approach would be consistent with the president’s the NFIP in 2012, after the program took its last run at approach to highway-building: Give the states some money becoming self-sustaining.
and most of the responsibility. But Congress has so far declined to go along with him. The executive branch’s NFIP handwriting is pretty clearly on the wall, but will Congress go along? That, it strikes me, is an excellent question to put before Katie Arrington and Joe Cunningham, who are currently running to fill Congressman Mark Sanford’s seat. Accordingly, I took the liberty of asking both campaigns the following question: “Do you agree or disagree that the NFIP (federal flood insurance program) be brought to self-sustainability by any, all, or none of the following means? 1. More aggressive ‘risk-based’ premium pricing. 2. Large-scale buyouts. 3. Stiffer disaster-resistant building codes. 4. Requiring that existing buildings be elevated. 5. Financial rewards to communities that devise and implement new and effective approaches. 6. Shifting the burden of preparing for and cleaning up after natural disasters to the states, counties, cities and homeowners? 7. More federal subsidies. If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these seven questions, please explain. If you favor another approach, please explain it.” Neither campaign responded to my question by my deadline. I’ll keep you posted what I hear. Bill Rauch was the mayor of Beaufort from 1999-2008. Email Bill at TheRauchReport@gmail.com.
Pride of the Valley The Barossan. Another made-up wine name, but fairly obvious that it refers to a wine from the Barossa Valley area of Australia, an area Down Under that is one of that country’s best-known and best-producing wine regions. And a new wine for us, so even better. Grape-growing and winemaking in the Barossa Valley dates back to 1842. It is one of six wine-producing zones in South Australia. Shiraz is its star variety, but other reds, like Grenache and Cabernet Sauvi-
gnon, also do well. Not only does the valley have a large amount of old vines that are still producing, but also numerous families with generations in the wine industry. The British were the first settlers in Celia Strong the valley, for agriculture but not necessarily for grapes. Prussians followed and gave the area a Germanic flavor.

STOP CRIMES AGAINST CHILDREN
George Fife Angus, a London banker and merchant, owned more than 27,000 acres in the valley and needed workers. He found them with the Silesian Lutherans, who needed to escape religious persecution – settlers who were “solid, god-fearing folk, prepared to pass the weekday hours in honest toil and the sabbath in worship of their creator.” Others, besides Angus, settled in Barossa. For a long time, none of them cared about wine. From the 1800s through the 1960s and ‘70s, wines were developing. Most of them, though, were fortified styles – tawny or sherry-like. Peter Lehmann was born in Angaston (a village in the Barossa Valley) in 1930, the fifth generation of one of Barossa’s founding families. Peter was 14 when his father died, and he left school and got a position as apprentice winemaker at Yalumba in 1947. In his years there he became one of the most promising red winemakers. His skills and experiences set the foundation for Peter Lehmann Wines, officially named in 1982. Doug Lehmann joined his father in the business. Our particular Lehmann wine is The Barossan, a Shiraz that showcases the superb fruit and power of Barossa. For this wine,
high-quality grapes are selected from renowned growers across the valley. Each source brings its own unique qualities to the finished wine. Some bring bright cherry flavors, some dark fruits. Others have sweet chocolate notes and mocha. After harvest, the grapes are fermented and macerated on their skins for up to two weeks. Partial barrel fermentation is done. After processing and clarification, the blended wine is aged in both French and American oak barrels, then bottled after 12 months. The Barossan has aromas and flavors of red and black cherries, blackberries, black currants and blueberries, along with dark chocolate, cocoa powder, molasses and hints of sweet vanilla. All of these are intense and generous, typical of Barossa Shiraz. More than the aromas and flavors, the texture of this wine is extraordinary. Full, juicy, intense, voluptuous, with fine tannins and a soft, supple finish. As they say at the winery, this wine shows the heart and soul of the Barossa Valley, and despite its heritage, quality, and high scores in wine publications, it’s quite a value at $12.99. Enjoy. Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island.

Every Tuesday in August, boys and girls and “children of all ages” are invited to Hunting Island State Park to learn all you ever wanted to know about sea turtles. The Friends of Hunting Island will be at the picnic pavilion near the lighthouse at 10:30 every Tuesday morning to talk about these wonderful creatures and answer all your questions.
