Sea Island Parkway traffic study is on hold

proposed fast food restaurant on Sea Island Parkway. Seeing the big picture would allow planners to look at total numbers and traffic patterns and seek solutions.

The debate is not over whether such a study is needed – it’s

already been recommended by a county, city and state study committee – but how it would be paid for.

Beaufort City Manager Bill Prokop proposed that some of the money the county received from

Walmart’s impact fees be used to pay for the study. The retail giant paid a total of $280,000 in traffic impact fees; $2,800 of that went to the city of Beaufort; the remaining See TRAFFIC, page A6

Vietnam veterans honored for their service

By Bob Sofaly

A cool sea breeze off the Beaufort River on Aug. 12 kept the temperature and humidity down for more than 300 people who gathered to pay tribute to Beaufort’s Vietnam war veterans at Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park.

Included in the festivities were displays of period military memorabilia provided from the personal collection of Sgt. Maj. Dave Robles, USMC retired, and displays from the American Red Cross and other veterans' groups.

The evening was made complete with a free concert by the Parris Is-

land Marine Band and Beaufort’s own Katie McAllister, who sang several songs with the band, including the National Anthem.

The event was sponsored by the Healing Heroes of the Lowcountry Fund and the city of Beaufort.

“It was fantastic. The band was amazing and the turnout was very good,” according to Donnie Beer, event coordinator for the Healing Heroes of the Lowcountry Fund.

“We are really looking forward to our next event at the waterfront park: the observance of the 15th anniversary of the terrorist attack on Sept. 11, 2001," said Beer.

Holy Trinity celebrates academic achievements It’s taken just eight years for the Holy Trinity Classical Christian School in Beaufort to grow from the seed of an idea planted over lunch into a viable educational institution.

On Aug. 17, some 275 students headed back to Holy Trinity for their first day of the

new school year.

The school provides a classical Christian education in the same vein as that afforded the great thinkers and scientists in western civilization.

Today, students in grades preschool through nine at Holy Trinity are taking

POLICE BLOTTER Sheriff ’s office looking for armed robbery suspects

The Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office is trying to track down two men who committed an armed robbery at a Family Dollar store in Lobeco on Aug. 1.

According to a sheriff ’s report, the first suspect was wearing dark clothing and had a mask over his face. He is described as black, approximately 6 feet tall and weighs about 170 pounds. The second suspect, who was wearing red, black and gray pants, a long-sleeved dark quilted jacket and had a cloth over his face, is described as black, about 5 feet, 8 inches tall and weighs about 160 pounds Contact Sgt. Disbrow at 843-255-3407, BCSO Dispatch at 843-524-2777, or Crimestoppers at 1-888-274-6372; 1-888-CRIMESC or sccrimestoppers.com.

Man arrested in 1980 murder, assault

Isaiah Gadson Jr., of Burton, was arrested Aug. 10 after being linked through DNA to 1980 cold case murder and sexual assault.

According to a Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office report, in the early morning hours of Jan. 6, 1980, deputies were dispatched to a dirt path off of Old Salem Point Road on a report of man who had been killed and a juvenile female who was sexually assaulted.

The girl told deputies that at approximately 11:45 p.m. on Jan. 5, she and her Isaiah boyfriend, 18-year-old Da- Gadson, Jr. vid Krulewicz, were parked in his van on the dirt path. She said a man approached and fired several shots into the van with a handgun. Several of the bullets struck Krulewicz, who was pronounced dead at the scene.

The girl said that after shooting Krulewicz, the man robbed her and then sexually assaulted her. The suspect then walked away and the girl then ran to a house a short distance from the scene.

Sheriff ’s office investigators looked into the case for many years and it eventually grew cold, due to limited forensic technology at the time.

In 1999, when Sheriff P. J. Tanner took office, investigations into unresolved murders/ sexual assaults, also known as “cold cases,” became a priority. Since forensic science technology had vastly improved since 1980, especially in the area of forensic DNA analysis, evidence collected during the sexual assault examination of the girl were resubmitted to the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) A2

Ultimately, a DNA profile of an unknown male’s semen was developed from evidence collected at the girl’s examination, which took place just hours after the incident.

The evidence was entered into the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) in 2003

by SLED analysts. There was no immediate match through searches against known offenders in the database.

Then, on Aug. 2, SLED DNA analysts reported a match between the suspect, Isaiah Gadson Jr., 63, of Burton, and the DNA profile developed from the semen. Gadson Jr.’s DNA was collected at the Beaufort County Detention Center after his arrest in an unrelated incident in June.

Once his DNA profile was uploaded into CODIS, it was matched to the cold case, the report states.

Upon receiving the match report, interviews of original witnesses and further investigation were conducted. On Aug. 9, a warrant was issued for Gadson on charges of murder, criminal sexual conduct in the first degree, kidnapping and armed robbery.

On Aug. 10, Gadson Jr. was at the Beaufort Police Department on an unrelated matter.

He was arrested there and is being held in the Beaufort County Detention Center.

Anyone with information regarding this investigation or other criminal activity regarding Gadson Jr. can call Capt. Bob Bromage at 843-816-8013, or to remain anonymous and collect a possible reward, call CrimeStoppers at 1-888-CrimeSC.

Inside, they found a dead Hispanic woman covered in several blankets on the living room couch, and three children ranging from 4 months to 5 years old.

Gonzalez was transported to the Detective Division of the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office, where he was interviewed and charged with murder. He’s currently being held at the Jasper County Detention Center.

The children are staying with relatives.

Two people wanted in shooting, robbery

Two people are wanted in connection with a shooting and robbery at a park in Port Royal.

According to a Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office report, Darielle Harris and Dalonte Fripp are wanted in connection with the incident, which took place in Port Royal.

On Aug. 4, the Port Royal Police Department and members of the Beaufort Police and Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office responded Darielle Harris to John Parker Park in reference to two people attempting to rob two other people. One victim had been shot and was transported to Beaufort Memorial Hospital.

A woman identified as Darielle Harris, 20, of the Beaufort area, and a man, identified as Harris’ boyfriend, Dalonte M. Fripp, 17, of Port Royal, are suspects in the incident.

Weigh the value of upgrades to your home “Home renovations can be a stressful, time-consuming, and expensive process,” according to Laurie March, home improvement and remodeling expert.

Having an idea of the return you’ll receive on your investment at sale time is one way of deciding whether or not the project is worth the cost, or it can help you prioritize projects.

General estimates of how much you could get back In an average residential market, several kinds of projects can recoup more than 80 percent of the investment for the cost of the job, notes Remodeling Magazine’s “2014 Cost vs. Value Report.”

The report details more than two dozen typical renovations in the midrange or upscale category, from replacing doors or windows to adding rooms. For example, if you install upscale fiber-cement siding to your house, expect to recoup up to 87 percent of the cost of the job, notes the report.

You can search the report for trends over time, for regions, or even city-specific data.

Small changes, big results “In every market, sprucing up your front door has Ashley Dando surprisingly good results,” notes March. Put in a new steel door and you can expect to recover 96 percent of the cost of the investment, according to Remodeling Magazine’s report. “Add in a refresh on your outdoor lighting, doormat and colorful landscaping, and you can really change how your home is perceived from the street,” she said.

Remember, homebuyers will likely first see your place pictured online, said Brendon DeSimone, real estate expert and author of “Next Generation Real Estate: New Rules for Smarter Home Buying & Faster Selling.”

“If your home does well in a photo shoot, it will get more people in the door,” he said.

More buyer-minded advice • “Kitchens and bathrooms sell homes,” said DeSimone. High-impact and higher-cost investments here include new countertops, appliances and cabinet hardware in the kitchen and new fixtures and grout in the bathroom.

• Be stylish, but not edgy, he advises. White cabinets in the kitchen or hardwood floors in a dining room will hold their value for longer periods of time than the latest fads. Add a fresh coat of paint where it’s needed.

• Keep bedroom changes reversible. “Taking out a bedroom and replacing it with a walk-in closet can sometimes be a huge selling point,” said DeSimone. Turning a bedroom into a home office can also be appealing. Both of these transformations can be undone if a buyer wants to regain the room as a bedroom.

Live in the present Selling your home might not be in your near-term plans. “While financial data tells half the story, many remodeling decisions stem from personal family circumstances,”

said March.

Adding a bathroom might only recoup 60 percent of the investment for the cost of the job, according to Remodeling Magazine’s report.

But if the addition could better accommodate your growing family, it might be worthwhile.

The same holds true for other jobs. If you open up an area and create a kitchen that flows into a living space, you might recoup 70 percent to 80 percent of the financial investment, notes March. “But creating a space your family can gather in — and connect in — might be priceless.”

Beaufort Pharmacy & Compounding has grand opening

By Kat Walsh

Beaufort Pharmacy & Compounding hosted a grand opening ceremony on Aug. 9 to introduce the new business – and the business of compounding – to the community.

For the majority of those in attendance however, not everything about the pharmacy is new. The location and its namesake are both a bit of Beaufort history. From 1984 until 2008, it was Aimar’s Pharmacy headed by Dr. Charles Aimar.

“Dr. Aimar was one of the patriarchs of Beaufort, and just a true Southern gentleman,” said Christine Seabrook, of Beaufort. She recalled the first Aimar’s Pharmacy on Carteret Street and Aimar’s dedication to his craft and his patients.

“He was the only one who would do house calls,” she said.

“He would do whatever it took to get a patient what they needed.”

A committed community member, Aimar had many roles and responsibilities beyond his pharmacy, including as a member of the Beaufort Volunteer Fire Department, the Beaufort City Council and president of the South Carolina Independent School Association, which presents the annual Dr. Charles S. Aimar Educational Leadership Award to the most outstanding leader among the association’s 112 schools.

Dr. Jeremy Simmons and his wife, Amanda, who works at TCL, opened Beaufort Pharmacy & Compounding earlier this month and have been pleasantly surprised by both the amount of business and acceptance they have received from the community.

“We don’t just want to be in Beaufort, we want to be part of Beaufort,” Jeremy Simmons said.

Mayor Billy Keyserling expressed his pleasure at the building’s return to its previous home as a pharmacy, sharing his own childhood memories of Aimar, his pharmacy and his personality.

“I am just so honored to be invited here to be part of this,” said Jeanne Aimar, Aimar’s widow, who attended the opening as a special guest. She said that while the building holds memories of countless stories about her husband and his patients, one of the most iconic is about Aimar’s kilts.

“One thing about Charlie was he loved his kilts,” she said. “He would have them delivered to the store and, as soon as one arrived, he’d run into the back and put it on.”

BUSINESS BUSINESS BRIEFS InterDev first business to support Beaufort's technology initiative

InterDev, an Atlanta-area provider of information technology and security services, will be a sponsor of the Beaufort Digital Corridor (BDC), a recently launched business development initiative focused on tech and tech-related companies in Beaufort.

The BDC’s goals are to attract and nurture businesses, create jobs and prepare young people for careers in the technology industry. InterDev is the first company to donate funding and expertise to the new initiative.

“We’re excited to be the first donor and partner with the Beaufort Digital Corridor,” said InterDev CEO Gary Nichols. “As the managed IT services provider for the city of Beaufort, this is a natural extension of InterDev’s relationship with Beaufort and an investment in its citizens and the local economy.

“We’re looking forward to having the same technology business growth for Beaufort that Charleston is experiencing with its digital corridor.”

The Beaufort Digital Corridor will be patterned after a program started in 2001 in Charleston that led Fast Company Magazine to dub Charleston “Silicon Harbor.”

Charleston is working with Beaufort to

develop and put in place systems and solutions to address similar challenges Charleston experienced before founding its digital corridor such as attracting technology businesses, raising per-capita wages and keeping its best and brightest workers.

$277,200 went to the county for road maintenance.

The county’s complaints – that this is the city’s problem, that the city is annexing everything and that the county is losing tax dollars ¬– is baseless, said Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling.

“The reason for (tabling the request for funding the study) is that many on the committee didn’t understand what is in the city and what is in the county, the tax implications or the fact that

the zoning that is in place today is the zoning they approved years ago,” he said.

Keyserling said that the city will assume some responsibility, but it’s not entirely a city problem.

“While everyone is saying ‘Beaufort is causing these problems,’ it’s really a problem we all share," he said.

"Traffic problems are a problem for the county because it is county roads that are impacted, and a problem for the state because we are talking about a state road system."

Sea Island Coalition representatives said the group was not concerned who paid

for the study, only that the study be done and done as quickly as possible.

"A traffic study is not a traffic solution," said a spokesperson for the Sea Island Coalition.

Keyserling supports the coalition and understands that the people of Lady’s Island are very concerned about the growth and the resulting traffic in the area.

“They are victims of the past and don’t want to be further victims of property changes.”

Once a study is complete, “then we can understand the problem and look at the solution,” he said.

Students at Holy Trinity Classical Christian School consistently rank in the top 10 percent in national test scores.

with the wisdom of the ages.”

Holy Trinity has won accolades for its level of excellence in education. Its students consistently rank in the top 10 percent in national test scores. With an exceptional retention rate, school enrollment increases every year as a new grade is added. With an average class size of 14 students, individual attention is assured.

And it all began with the germ of an idea.

One day in 2007, the Rev. Jeff Miller, then rector of the Parish Church of St. Helena, met with a small group of friends over lunch and posed the idea of starting a classical Christian school in Beaufort. The group embraced the concept and the seed was planted.

Things moved quickly after that. Within two years, an ad hoc committee was formed to research classical Christian education and the feasibility of founding such a school in Beaufort.

In June of 2011, the 40-member Board of Governors met for the first time. The board adopted bylaws and elected a Board of Trustees. It affirmed the school’s mission and statement of faith. And it began the process of applying for 501(c)3 tax-exempt status.

At its first meeting, the board offered the position of founding headmaster to the Rev. Chad Lawrence, a curate at the Parish Church of St. Helena. In September of 2011, Lawrence formally assumed the role of founding headmaster with a goal of opening the school in August 2012.

Over the course of the next year, Lawrence and the Board of Trustees searched for a suitable building, hired teachers, selected the curricula and recruited students. Today’s Holy Trinity students hail from at least a dozen Christian churches in the Lowcoun-

try.

In August 2012, right on schedule, Holy Trinity opened its doors to 100 students in preschool through fifth grade in a building leased from the Beaufort County School District. Holy Trinity administrators plan to add a grade a year until they can provide a classical Christian education to students in preschool through 12th grade.

Seventy-five percent of the Board of Governors do not have a child or grandchild at Holy Trinity.

“We are so grateful for those who are willing to look beyond themselves and support a venture that has borne so much fruit for children, our families and the community,” said Lawrence. “Not only is their work bearing fruit in Beaufort today, it will undoubtedly continue to do so for many years to come, both locally and abroad as our graduates venture out into the world.”

School enrollment has grown so rapidly that the preschool moved to a satellite campus at the Parish Church of St. Helena. The grammar and upper school remained at the original Burroughs Avenue location.

Suzanne Schwank, the recently elected chair of the 44-member Board of Governors, said, “Holy Trinity is a response to the accelerating descent of western civilization into a world view of secular humanism.

“Its founding vision was to raise up young men and women formed with a Christian world view who are so trained, educated and equipped that they can go into the world as Christ’s ambassadors, able to engage a fracturing civilization at all levels of academia and society.

“This called for a school both Christ-centered and academically rigorous. Many of us could visualize the young adults graduating from such a school, but few of us imagined the children and student body that would appear in the meantime, or their impact on the faith life of the entire family that parents are reporting.”

LUNCH BUNCH

Joe Loves Lobster Rolls … and so do we

Above from left: Junior lobster roll; duck sliders; duck tacos; Reuben sandwich and potato salad.

Editor’s note: Members of our staff, aka the Lunch Bunch, go out to lunch to give you the rundown on the food and the atmosphere at local restaurants (OK, admittedly we also like to go out to eat, so win-win!). This week: Joe Loves Lobster Rolls.

By Sally Mahan

Imagine, if you will, a table of six women who all clearly love to chat, even while eating.

That’s not what happened at Joe Loves Lobster Rolls at 2001 Boundary St. in Beaufort (there’s also a location on S.C. 170 just minutes from Bluffton), a very New England-like restaurant come to life.

There we were, having a good time, talking and laughing.

But then the food came.

It suddenly became very quiet at our table.

The only murmurs you could here were, “Oh my God, this is so good.”

And it was seriously good.

The restaurant obviously serves lobster rolls, which we will get to momentarily. But Joe Loves Lobster Rolls, with its clean lines and minimalist décor, has a few other dishes that we tried.

Betty Davis, our effervescent sales rep,

ordered the duck tacos, which are soft corn shell tacos filled with moist duck breast, ginger-orange sauce, melted cheese and topped with pineapple coleslaw and tomatoes.

The lobster tacos were ordered by Katherine Smith, a guest of our publishers, and the soft shells were stuffed with lobster and mozzarella and topped with pineapple slaw and a hint of lemon.

I ordered the Reuben, which was one of the best Reubens I’ve ever eaten. The corned beef was tender and lean and the rye bread was to die for. I had the potato salad as my side (as did a few of my companions) and we were all very impressed with the large chunks of tender red potato and wonderful, creamy sauce.

Kim Harding, one of our publishers, had the ginger/orange duck sliders, which are topped with the pineapple slaw. Her single work: “Amazing.”

Hope Falls, our intrepid graphic designer,

and Elizabeth Newberry, our other publisher, both had the junior lobster roll, which is stuffed with Maine claw and knuckle meat (the lobster is imported from Scarborough, Maine) and lightly dressed with a touch of mayonnaise and topped with a lemon butter sauce. One of the best things about the lobster rolls (OK, the lobster is the best) are the New England rolls. They’re not like hot dog rolls or hoagie rolls, but rather like a thick, yummy, toasted, yet soft, bread.

We all shared a lobster roll and all agreed it was absolutely delicious.

Not only was the food good, but the service was terrific and the restaurant was spotless.

Joe Loves Lobster Rolls, and now so do we!

The restaurant opens daily at 11 a.m. Visit www.joeloveslobster.com for more information.

Hamilton returns Sharks set to to guide Dolphins kick off first year

By Steve LeMaster

A familiar face will be back on the Battery Creek High School football sidelines as veteran head coach Fred Hamilton has returned to the top of the Battery Creek High School football program.

During the offseason, Hamilton was hired to guide the Dolphins in the 2016 season, returning to coach a program he mentored earlier in his career.

The experienced Hamilton replaces Jim Shuman, who resigned in March.

Shuman vacated his head coaching position with the Dolphins in March to aid his ailing parents.

Hamilton guided Battery Creek to its first playoff win in 2001 during his prior stint with the program. He guided the Dolphins from 1999-2002.

Hamilton took the Dolphins to the playoffs in back-to-back seasons, compiling a 2028 record.

Hamilton left Battery Creek to coach the West Ashley football program.

A native of James Island, Hamilton, 57, spent six years as the head coach of the West Ashley football program before making his next career move. Hamilton was an assistant football coach and track and field head coach at Fort Dorchester. In 2010, while guiding the Fort Dorchester track and field program, Hamilton was named the South Carolina Track Coach of the Year.

Hamilton returned to Battery Creek from Colleton County High School, where he has teaching. His additional coaching experience includes stints as an assistant coach at Porter-Gaud Academy, James Island, The Citadel, Wofford, North Charleston, Charleston Southern University and East Tennessee State University.

Back on the field to lead the Dolphins offensively are backs Alterell Chatman (Sr.),

Eddie Dean ( Jr.) and Diamonte Blackshear (Sr.).

Defensively, linebacker Sonja Jones (Sr.) is among the top returnees for the Battery Creek football program.

In addition to Jones, Chatman, Dean and Blackshear are other experienced linebackers.

Chatman was selected as the Co Back-ofthe-Year in Region 6-AA at the conclusion of the 2015 season. He shared the award with quarterback Leo Albano of Bishop England High School.

A leader throughout the 2015 season, Chatman rushed for 1,108 yards on 203 attempts (5.4 yards average), scored 13 touchdowns and averaged 12.7 yards per return on punts for the Dolphins during the 2015 season. He also played on special teams.

Chatman, Dean and Jones were each honored as an All-Region 6-AA selection. Dean and Jones were recognized for their outstanding play as linebackers.

Several Battery Creek players will start on both sides of the ball.

Multiple longtime rivals await the Dolphins in the 2016 season. Hamilton will make his latest coaching debut for the Dolphins on the road. Hamilton-coached Battery Creek is scheduled to open the 2016 campaign at Swansea High School on Friday, Aug. 19.

Battery Creek has additional away games scheduled versus Whale Branch, Calhoun County, Bluffton and new rival May River.

The Dolphins are slated to host Beaufort, Hilton Head, Charleston Math & Science, Wade Hampton and Ridgeland-Hardeeville during the 2016 season.

Battery Creek exited the 2015 4-7 following a loss to Timberland in the postseason.

Kickoff for the Battery Creek-Swansea football game is set for 7:30 p.m.

Football 2016 Schedule

on gridiron

By Steve LeMaster

May River High School opened its doors to students during a highly-anticipated first day of the 2016-17 school year, and fall sports teams have been busy practicing.

The May River High School football program's fan base is already growing as many are eager to watch the Sharks on the gridiron.

The May River roster features only a few upperclassmen. Head coach Rodney Summers is set to guide a young May River football team. Several younger players will have an opportunity to contribute for May River throughout the Sharks' debut campaign.

Summers was announced by the Beaufort County School District as the first head coach of the Sharks program in February. May River is poised to complete in the SCHSL's Region 8-AAA. Bluffton will serve as the Sharks' crosstown rival and a region counterpart.

An experienced coach, Summers has been serving as the head coach of the Westwood football program since it started in 2012.

Summers and his wife, Tina, have two teenage sons, Vance and Bryce, both of whom are students at May River High School.

During a successful stint at Westwood, Summers guided his team to the state playoffs in three out of four seasons. Under Summers' guidance, the Redhawks finished 11-2 in 2014, allowing him to claim Coach of the Year honors from the South Carolina Football Coaches Association. He was also named the South Carolina Strength and Conditioning Coach of the Year and the

Fellowship of Christian Athletes Art Baker State Coach of the Year in 2014.

Summers is looking to implement much of what he had in place at Westwood with the May River football program.

Westwood finished the 2015 season 9-4.

The Redhawks fell to Greenwood in the second round of the 2015 Class AAAA Playoffs.

The district received 70-plus applications for the May River High School football position. Summers was one of five candidates who were selected for in-person interviews.

Brett Macy serves as May River's athletic director. May River High School has hired multiple coaches for various sports after selecting Summers.

An accomplished educator, Summers is teaching physical education at May River High School. He holds a bachelor's degree from Coastal Carolina University and a master's degree from the United States Sports Academy.

The young Sharks will face numerous tough tests during their first season. Along with Bluffton, eight other opponents await the Sharks, who will likely make many other rivalaries in a short amount of time.

May River is scheduled to visit Hanahan for its season opener on Friday, Aug. 19. After the season-opener, May River is slated to visit cross-town rival Bluffton for the first of two meetings in the 2016 season.

After back-to-back away games, May River is due to host Whale Branch for its home opener on Friday, Sept. 2.

Kickoff for the May River-Hanahan football game is set for 7:30 p.m.

GOLF

Nimmer finishes third in South Carolina Amateur

Clemson University senior golfer Carson Young fired a final round 70 to win the South Carolina Amateur for the second time.

Clemson sophomore Bryson Nimmer finished at 287, one-under-par, to finish in third place. Nimmer is a Bluffton native.

“The key for me was Bryson Nimmer putting the ball in the fairway and making a couple of 15-20 foot putts each round,” said Young, who was a first-team All-ACC selection on the course and in the classroom this past year for the ACC Champion Tigers.

Nimmer was only the third Clemson freshman to be named ACC Freshman of the Year.

He joined D.J. Trahan and Kyle Stanley, two current PGA Tour players.

The talented Nimmer is a second generation Clemson golfer. His dad, Tony Nimmer, started for the Tigers from 1980-83.

Tony Nimmer was the first Clemson golfer to record three top 10s in the ACC Tournament. He finished sixth in 1981, 1982 and 1983.

Bryson Nimmer was ranked No. 134 by Golfweek and No. 149 by Golfstat entering the NCAA National Tournament. He was a Dean’s List student for the spring semester with a 3.60 GPA. The younger Nimmer led Hilton Head Christian Academy to the state 3A Championship by 30 shots in 2013. He was named to the all-state team, won the 2013 Jimmy Self Invitational and captured the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour's Charleston Junior Open.

Bluffton High School graduate battling back with Gamecocks

Bluffton High School graduate Shameik Blackshear is battling back from an injury with the University of South Carolina football program.

A second-year defensive end, Blackshear was limited to two games in 2015 while battling back from a knee injury he suffered during his senior year of high school.

He did not participate in the South Carolina football team's spring drills while recovering from injuries sustained in an off-season incident.

In 2015, Blackshear played in two games, seeing action against Central Florida and Missouri.

Blackshear was credited Shameik with one solo tackle and Blackshear one assisted tackle in the game against Southeastern Conference (SEC) rival Missouri. The former Bluffton Bobcat petitioned and received a medical redshirt.

Blackshear was a talented defensive end who graduated from Bluffton High School in 2015. He played for Coach Ken Cribb and the Bobcats. Blackshear missed half of his senior season at Bluffton High School

with a knee injury. He was selected to play in the Under Armour All-America game in St. Petersburg, Fla.

Delaney named to STATS Defensive Player of the Year Watch List

The Citadel junior defensive back Dee Delaney is included on the STATS Defensive Player of the Year Watch List.

Delaney is a Whale Branch Early College High School graduate. He has excelled throughout his career with The Citadel football program.

TCL is re-accredited by the NEAYC

The Technical College of the Lowcountry early care and education program recently received re-accreditation by the National Association for the Education of Young Children.

“NAEYC accreditation affirms that we are offering the highest level of educational experience for our students,” said Kelli Boniecki, early care and education program director.

NAEYC is the most respected national early childhood association and seeks to foster high-quality programs through its accreditation. This extensive process includes the submission of hundreds of pages of documents and a three-day examination of the instructors, courses and facilities by a committee selected by NAEYC. “Employers recognize and value NAEYC accreditation. They know that when they hire our graduates, they are getting a highly-qualified early childhood professional,” Boniecki said.

TCL’s early care and education associate degree program can be completed in six semesters. Coursework ranges from guidance and classroom management to science and math concepts.

Other courses offer hands-on laboratory field experiences providing students the opportunity to observe children in early childhood settings. General education courses

such as English, algebra and public speaking round out the curriculum.

The program culminates with a semester-long supervised field experience course that provides students with real-world, hands-on experience in child care settings across the Lowcountry. Four specialty certificate and diploma programs are also offered.

Young is professor of marine science and director of undergraduate research at CCU. Graduation candidates are William Ball, Patrick Briody and Clark Sinclair, all of Bluffton.

River Ridge Academy holds service day

River Ridge Academy recently held a Community Service Day where about 75 teachers hit the Bluffton community with random acts of service and kindness at over 50 businesses.

They went to various businesses and other organizations and were tasked with completing a list of "acts of service” that included things like picking up 20 pieces of trash, holding the door (with a smile) for 25 customers, helping to unload groceries and donating books to doctor’s offices.

“Our school prides itself on the character development of our students,” said Principal Gary McCulloch. “We afford our students many learning opportunities through huddle and morning meeting to identify character practices and practice them in our school. The soft skills developed will help our students become a productive and impactful citizen.

“We are giving back to our generous school community in ways of kindness that will let people know that we appreciate them.”

When I first moved to the Beaufort area I frequently came into town to eat and shop. But I realized that the hassle of finding a place to park and the issue of how long I could actually park were not worth the effort. I would also have to decide whether I wanted to eat or shop. The meters dictated that there was not enough time to do both. So now I rarely bother.

Too many dudes threaten a town's cowboy soul

I hope that you intend to create a forum for positive dialogue with Lowcounty Boil. It's hard to tell from your article. You do mention that folks can comment on "nice" things people have done, but the overall message feels like a forum to complain. "Sounding off " and even the "BOIL" part of your phone number invites hostility and negative comments. Isn't this world already boiling over with negativity and anger? ... This world is angry enough. I trust that your intent is not to fan the fire of discontent. Please proceed responsibly.

Yay! A Burger King is coming to the Bluffton area on S.C. 170. It’s about time.

I would like to find more information on the highway projects. One project that I am curious about is the Beaufort Northern Bypass. With two new big box stores and others more than likely to follow, the traffic on S.C. 21 will be at a standstill. There are a couple of huge housing projects that will add hundreds of cars per day onto 21. With the opening of the Northern Bypass, it could reduce a sizable amount of traffic on 21.

Kudos to J.H. Hines Construction for making a silk purse out of a sow’s ear. Their transformation of the Von Harten Bros. Building at 509 Carteret St. is nothing short of miraculous. It makes me wish I needed an architect/construction company.

I’m concerned about the big, heavy 18-wheelers I’ve seen going over the Woods Bridge lately.

The other day the police actually made a trucker turn around at the foot of the bridge and go down Bay Street. Although I had to sit in traffic an extra 15 minutes or so, I was cheering them on and didn’t mind the wait. I even shake my finger (not the bad one) when I see them coming toward me on the bridge. There is a reason we have a weight limit on that bridge and signs are very clearly posted coming from both directions, so it really makes me mad when I see them hauling heavy loads over the bridge.

A big thank you to Cheryl at Helena Place.

She is the activities director and provides the residents with activities that are not only healthy but also fun and helps to increase and improve our relationships with residents and staff.

For all the workers for SCE&G to go out when there’s power outages and work the lines late at night and early into the morning, I just want to say thanks. We’ve had outages in the Seabrook area this past summer and I really appreciate their hard work and diligence in getting our power back on.

I think they should build a parking garage on the Lady’s Island side of the river (Whitehall area) and provide shuttle and ferry service to downtown, the hospital area and the government center – even MCAS. Shuttle buses for employees scheduled for work hours could reduce the number of cars crossing the bridge at peak times. Smaller shuttles scheduled around bridge openings could take island residents downtown and downtown residents to the island area and to the new Walmart, etc. This could reduce bridge traffic and increase employment opportunities for shuttle drivers, ferries, water and ground taxis, etc. A small shopping/ eating center near the garage could offer services for customers. This could all result in new business and job opportunities and a reduction in traffic in the downtown area.

There are so many litterbugs in Beaufort. We need strict enforcement of littering fines to cease this problem. I’ve never seen litter in Bluffton or on Hilton Head. Do they get better cleanup services? We all pay the same taxes, so why is there so much litter in Beaufort?

I have the best comments. Believe me. I have lots of words and I say a lot of things. I speak with myself because I have a very good brain and I know a lot of things and I talk about a lot of things. Believe me.

Eleven of these two-story, free standing units were built recently by the Teton County School District to house teachers and administrators working for the district. The town's Housing Authority administers the program.

The campaign of Pete Muldoon who is running for mayor of Jackson, Wyo., the county seat of Teton County that is home to the spectacularly beautiful Teton Valley/Jackson Hole area, is using “Fighting for the SOUL of the HOLE” for his campaign slogan this year.

Fighting for your town’s soul certainly sounds like a good thing for a mayor to do, but what exactly would a mayor do to do that?

Teton County is the county in the United States that has the highest per capita income in the country. The county’s population of 22.930 enjoyed a 2014 per capita income of $194,485, well ahead of No. 2 Manhattan’s (New York County) at $148,002, according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis’ most recent numbers.

By way of comparison, Beaufort County’s per capita income is about 20 percent of Jackson’s. But when considering the differential it is important to remember that Wyoming is a no-state income tax haven, and because of that Jackson has attracted a top 1 percent that is way wealthier than Beaufort County’s top 1 percent.

In fact, Jackson’s soul – and Jackson’s challenges – are not so different from Beaufort’s.

There are lessons to be learned in Beaufort County from Teton County. There are glimpses there of Beaufort County’s future.

It appears the money has brought problems there and it appears there may not be the money to solve those problems.

But let’s start with drilling down on Jackson’s soul.

Ray Elsner, 14 years as the chairman of the town’s Planning Commission, defined it like this last week: “Ranching, dude ranching, and a small town where everybody helps each other out.”

Bill Rauch was the mayor of Beaufort from 1999-2008.

Email Bill at TheRauchReport@gmail.com.

That doesn’t sound so different from a shrimping, farming small town where folks help one another out.

How’s the money changing it?

“Well, you have these homeowners from all over the world who ski in the winter and who hike and bike and go to yoga in the summer,” Elsner explains. “They maybe sleep here six to eight weeks a year. And they expect the ambulance or the fire engine to be there when they call 9-1-1, or a chopper to pick them up when they wrench their knee up on the trail … which gets expensive. Fire and EMS used to be volunteer. Now those are paid positions.

First responders have to live somewhere.

But there isn’t anywhere. You can’t buy a detatched house in Jackson for less than a million dollars. The skiers and the hiker/ bikers already bought them all.”

So what can a mayor do to help preserve his town’s soul?

After all the rhetoric, what the governments have so far considered doing are three things: build workforce housing, provide public transit to and from areas outside the county where workers can still afford to live, and facilitate museums and cultural organizations that recall and explain what the area was before it became what it is today.

The town and county have taken steps in each of these directions.

Between the town, the county, the school

district, the federal government and the hospital, 1,450 workforce units have been built in Jackson over the past 20 years.

And, if the rhetoric of town and county candidates’ running in the current election cycle can be believed, the governments will build more.

Moreover, the town may require via its zoning ordinances that new “luxury homes” in Jackson also build a “caretaker residence” on the premises. And the governments may begin soon to encourage private developers to put workforce housing on the second floor of office buildings, including government buildings.

But the government cannot build housing for everyone who cannot buy a million dollar house.

It will need public transit to and from at least two nearby counties where housing is still affordable to those working in Jackson’s food service, lodging and government sectors.

There is currently public transit in Teton County, primarily in the form of buses to transport skiers and hiker/ bikers to and from the slopes. Southern Teton Rapid Transit (START) runs the buses. Candidates running this year say they’ll work to improve the limited commuter service START currently offers to the outlying counties.

And finally the Jackson Hole Historical Society and Museum, located on Jackson’s main street and with a Conestoga wagon on its roof, and the town’s two-nights-aweek rodeos seek actively to display to residents and visitors alike glimpses of the town’s past.

Will these efforts preserve the town’s soul? And will the governments’ leadership have the enduring will to try more?

Is it wrong to be glad when the tourists leave?

There is a problem sometimes with living in a place that is so beautiful. People want to come here all the time, especially during the summer months.

I was reminded of this while chatting with Richard, a successful local business owner. We were discussing the traffic and he mentioned that he and his wife had invited some Fripp Island friends over for dinner. They were supposed to get to Beaufort at 6 p.m., but had gotten caught in “rental turnover” traffic.

We both acknowledged that a normal 20-minute drive in the winter can turn into a much longer commute when driving on a summer weekend.

It is very apparent early on Sunday mornings at the grocery stores when the renters are filling up their baskets for the week. I normally stop after church on Sunday morning to get the newspapers. Thank goodness for express lines as most of the checkout lines are backed up with people filling up on hot dogs, hamburgers, chips, sodas and the other vacation food.

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.

It seems like there are always marshmallows and Hershey candy bars along with boxes of graham crackers in the grocery carts too. And of course, the inflatable rings, noodles and other beach toys are also included along with the suntan lotion, bug spray and the aloe cream.

Turns out that people come here from all over in their campers and RVs too.

It is not just about renting a house for a week. Hunting Island State Park has an enviable campground for people who want to be at the beach.

Now don’t think I am complaining.

There is a huge economic boost to our region because of all the people who visit.

Our hotels, restaurants and other businesses all benefit from these tourists.

But the joy at this time of the year as Labor Day approaches is that tourists start to return to their own homes to prepare for the school year. I start seeing the school buses out on the road and noticing more South Carolina license plates on cars rather than other states.

And those of us lucky enough to live here year-round get to enjoy the beach and parks without all the tourists.

But don’t worry Richard, turns out we newcomers keep getting out-of-town visitors all year-round who will help to keep the economic engine roaring.

WINE

Once you go naked, you never go back It’s interesting to look at some of the cycles we've been through with wines and wine styles over the years. Several times we have learned about and tasted what are called "unoaked" wines, particularly chardonnays, and, more particularly, New World chardonnays.

Over the last 20 years or so, the California "oaked" style of chardonnay has been very popular. And profitable.

But it has also been heavier: heavier flavors, heavier textures, heavier in our mouths.

In case you haven't noticed, sometimes with our weather it is easier to enjoy a lighter-style wine. Some of us turn to other varieties, like pinot grigio, sauvignon blanc, albariño, and some of us just change our style of chardonnay to "unoaked."

The Chablis subregion in northern Burgundy, France, is most likely where chardon-

Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island.

nay wines without any barrel fermenting.

About two decades ago, Australia made some unoaked chardonnay wines. Their style was usually with oak, following the commercial success of California-oaked chardonnays.

Once Australia tried unoaked, California pretty quickly had to try them as well. Clearly, "unoaked" is not a quality of wine, just a style, like filtered or unfiltered, like with malolactic fermentation or not.

Our personal likes and dislikes just need

enough information for us to be able to choose which style we like and when we might like it.

In the world of chardonnay, since that is predominantly where "unoaked" is used, the wines become lighter and crisper. With unoaked chards, we usually lose the creamy, buttery, vanilla components that come from time in wood barrels.

Since many chardonnay lovers like those particular aspects of these wines, winemakers tried making unoaked chardonnay with malolactic fermentation done. Malolactic may not be able to add in vanilla and buttery, but its whole purpose is to soften the acidity in a wine. This does give it a creamy texture.

So, less crisp, tart and acidic unoaked chards are available.

Aging in stainless steel or cement tanks is still an option for unoaked winemakers. By

letting their wines sit on their lees in tanks, additional flavors and textures can be augmented. Unoaked chardonnays may not have the flavors and textures of wood, but there is no reason to expect unoaked to be plain or dull or boring. Just different.

Unoaked Chardonnay wines have green and yellow apple flavors, citrus notes, especially lemon and Meyer lemon, honeydew melon and lots of tropical fruit flavors like pineapple, mango, passion fruit and star fruit.

Our winery this week is Four Vines. Located in Paso Robles, Four Vines was one of the original, successful unoaked chardonnays from California. This winery was established by a younger generation, with three goals: Get spectacular fruit, make incredible wine, enjoy much-deserved rock-star status.

Here's your chance to go naked for just $8.99! Enjoy!

AROUND TOWN

New leadership at the Parish Church of St. Helena One of Beaufort’s oldest churches will start the new church year with new leaders.

The Rev. Samuel Porcher Gaillard IV, known as Shay, will become the rector at the Parish Church of St. Helena (Anglican) this month. The Rev. Todd Simonis will arrive in September to serve alongside Gaillard as senior associate.

"Coming to a Gospel-centered historic church with such a lively witness is an incredible opportunity," Gaillard said. "I am excited to see where God will lead St. Helena's to expand our kingdom ministry."

Gaillard and Simonis replace the Rev. Jeffrey Miller and the Rev. Andrew O’Dell, who left to become rector and senior associate respectively at St. Philip’s Church in downtown Charleston.

A Charleston native, Gaillard worked in youth ministry in several parishes of the Di-

ocese of South Carolina and at Camp St. Christopher near Seabrook, where he was the summer camp director. He was an acolyte at the Cathedral of St. Luke and St. Paul and graduated from Bish- Rev. Shay op England High School Gaillard IV and Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia.

After ordination, Gaillard attended Trinity School for Ministry in Ambridge, Pa., from 2001 to 2003, where he received his Master of Divinity.

He returned to the diocese and served as assistant rector at St. Paul’s in Conway for two-and-a-half years before going to the Church of the Good Shepherd in Charleston, where he served as rector for 10 years

until receiving the call to St. Helena’s. Gaillard and his wife, Tara, have four children. He enjoys hiking, fishing, hunting, football and water sports.

"Our family is so excited to move to Beaufort to Rev. Todd begin this new ministry at Simonis St. Helena's," he said. "We are convinced that God has called us, so we await with excitement the unfolding of His plan."

The new senior associate, the Rev. Todd Simonis, and his family have lived in Mount Pleasant for the past 13 years. He has served on the staff at St. Andrew’s Church, where his most recent role was to start a new church (St. Andrew’s City Church) in downtown Charleston, focusing on the college and young adult population.

Simonis graduated from the University of Wisconsin at Oshkosh with a business administration degree and received his Master of Divinity from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in Charlotte. He and his wife, Elizabeth, who recently completed a Master’s in Speech and Language Pathology, have two children.

The new rector will deliver his first sermon on Sunday, Aug. 28, which is Rally Sunday at St. Helena's, when the new church year

with all of its classes and activities begins.

"Because of St. Helena's rich history, including the Beaufort Revival of 1831, I believe that God has great things in store for this community," Gaillard said.

Clergy serving at St. Helena’s include the Rt. Rev. Alden Hathaway, retired bishop of Pittsburgh; the Rev. Chuck Pollak; the Rev. Chad Lawrence; the Rev. Matt Rusch; and Deacons Mark Warter and Jim Cato.

For more information about St. Helena's, visit www.sthelenas1712.org.
