Alan Ours is council’s pick for new county administrator During its regular meeting on July 23, Beaufort County Council voted to offer Alan Ours the position of County Administrator. The council will now take steps to negotiate an employment contract with Ours for an anticipated start date later this summer. Ours would replace Gary Kubic, who served as County Administrator from 2004-17. Ours was one of two finalists after a nationwide search and interviews with four candidates. Two meet-and-greet sessions were held last week to allow the public a chance to learn more about the final two candidates and ask them questions one-on-one. William Shanahan, County Manager for York County, S.C., was the other participating finalist. Ours is currently the County Manager for Glynn County, Ga., where he has served since 2010. Glynn County is located between Savannah and Jacksonville, and is home to the City of Brunswick and sea islands including Jekyll Island and St. Simons Island. Ours has worked with various local governments including serving as County Manager in Lee County, Ga., Alan Ours Lowndes County, Ga., and Pickens County, S.C., and as Deputy County Administrator for Spartanburg County, S.C. His public service also includes time with York County, S.C., and Lexington County, S.C. He is a graduate of Leadership Lee and the South Carolina Executive Institute; former Vice-President on the International City-County Management Association Executive Board; and Past President of the Georgia City-County Management Association. He currently serves as Chairman on the United Way of Coastal Georgia Board of Directors. Ours holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science from Winthrop University. Ours is an ICMA Credentialed Manager – a designation shared with about 1,400 local government management professionals in the U.S. ICMA, which formed in 1914, is the leading association of local government professionals dedicated to creating and sustaining thriving communities. To receive the prestigious ICMA credential from the organization, candidates must be a full voting member of the organization. They must submit to a peer review process, which entails completing a comprehensive knowledge assessment and demonstrating executive experience across a broad spectrum in the field of public administration, adherence to high standards of integrity, and a detailed professional development plan to evolve over the course of their careers. Ours has been married to his wife, Elizabeth, for more than 35 years. The couple has 10 children and three grandchildren.

Beaufort kids’ lemonade stand seeks to provide clean water abroad BY JUSTIN JARRETT
This is not your typical neighborhood lemonade stand. Siblings Nate and Anne-Murphy Miller aren’t peddling watered-down Minute Maid to fill their piggy banks, they’re working to make a difference in the world — and a big one at that. Anne-Murphy, 9, and Nate, 8, were inspired when Rev. John Dau spoke at Holy Trinity Classical Christian School, and the idea of Murphy’s Pucker Up was born. It started with selling their homemade recipe from their LemonAid Cart with a nebulous goal of helping to provide safe drinking water to schools in developing nations. Using her connections, their mother, Jodie Miller of Plum Productions, found a way to make that goal more feasible. She eventually connected with LifeStraw, a company that has developed filtration systems that make contaminated water safe to drink. With that, the target became more clear – raise $2,500 to purchase five LifeStraw Community filtration systems. Doing so would provide clean water to 500 students at Good Shepherd Academy in Juba, South Sudan — Holy Trinity’s sister school — for up to five years. “I don’t know if we as a family just can’t do things small, but it’s become this big deal,” Jodie Miller said with a laugh. And despite mom’s help from time to time, it remains the kids’ project, for the most part. Anne-Murphy has the marketing personality, so she’s “out front,” while Nate is the math whiz who runs the credit cards, makes change, and crunches the numbers. They’re about halfway to their goal, but a new partnership struck this week should help them make up the rest of the total. Starting Friday, Murphy’s Pucker Up will be a staple on the lunch menu at Breakwater Restaurant and Bar. The kids were in the kitchen at Breakwater over the weekend perfecting their all-natural and preservative-free recipe, which the restaurant will produce in-house and serve in a special branded glass featuring the Murphy’s Pucker Up logo. The proceeds from every lemonade sale will go toward the clean water project. “You can barely turn around without hearing something great that Breakwater is doing in the community,” Jodie Miller said. “I called Gary and Donna and explained what we were doing, and we had dinner, met, and squeezed about a bajillion lemons.”

PIHMS donates $200K to preserve historic film collection

The Parris Island Historical and Museum Society (PIHMS) has made a $200,000 donation to the University of South Carolina Libraries Moving Image Research Collections (MIRC) to help preserve the library’s historic film collection. Sgt. Major James Moore (Ret.), of the PIHMS Board of Directors, presented a check for $200,000 on stage at the annual Beaufort Water Festival on July 17. The generous contribution will fund two positions for two years at MIRC solely dedicated to digitizing the U.S. Marine Corps Film Repository, a collection of films shot by U.S. Marines throughout the 20th century. The Marine Corps University History Division at Quantico held the collection, which consists of nearly 10,000 reels of 16 and 35mm footage, for decades until 2015, when it reached out to MIRC, a top U.S. film conservation lab, to assume stewardship of the collection and create an online platform to provide global access to it. Since receiving the collection, MIRC has been actively fundraising to pay the costs associated with the storage, preservation, digitization and online access to the collection.
PIHMS immediately stepped forward to offer support by connecting MIRC with a network of advocates and offering financial assistance. “There was really no question as to whether we should support this fantastic endeavor,” says PIHMS Executive Director and Lieutenant Colonel, USMC (Ret.) Caroline Fermin. “The mission of PIHMS is to preserve and showcase Parris Island and Marine Corps history. Our partnership is a natural fit.” PIHMS issued MIRC a challenge last summer — up to $100,000 in matching funds for every dollar MIRC could raise by June 30, 2018. MIRC met its fundraising goal on April 18, USC’s first Give 4 Garnet Day, which resulted in $3.75 million in donations university-wide. “USC has found a tremendous partner in the Parris Island Historical and Museum Society,” said Bill Bethea, a member of the U.S. Marine Corps Film Repository Blue Ribbon Committee and Chairman of the South Carolina Military Base Task Force. “Both organizations are dedicated to the mission of preserving the history of the U.S. Marine Corps.”
The $200,000 check PIHMS presented to MIRC includes not only $100,000 in matching funds, but also an additional $100,000 to fund an additional year of digitization of the U.S. Marine Corps Film Repository, ensuring all the films will be digitized and preserved. “We are very appreciative of the funding Parris Island Historical and Museum Society has provided for this project,” says USC Dean of Libraries Tom McNally. “Digitizing a film collection of this scale is a major undertaking, but because of our shared mission, we will realize our goal of preserving the films and sharing them with researchers, veterans, Marines and their families worldwide. We could not ask for a more fitting organization to partner with,” says McNally. Many of the films are accessible online now, including the Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island Film Collection, 61 historic films that document activities at Parris Island from August through October 1961. “The impact of this project cannot be quantified,” Fermin said. “Veterans, family members, students of history and the general public will benefit from having access to this collection for generations to come.”
Community Foundation awards nearly $500K in grants The Community Foundation of the Lowcountry recently completed its second of three annual competitive grant cycles and awarded $498,023 to six local organizations. The grants were awarded to the following organizations: • Beaufort County Animal Shelter Support Fund received $86,048 for a radiology lab to enable the county to provide x-ray, ultrasound and other necessary diagnostic services at the new county animal campus on Highway 170. This service was previously not available.

Bluffton-Jasper County Volunteers in Medicine received $94,420 over two years to support capacity building through staff and technology. Heritage Library Foundation received $60,000 over three years to help fund its first ever paid executive director.

Beaufort's Photo Competition with Britain
Beaufort winning image selected by Gosforth: Rich Matheny's "Touching Eternity"
Beaufort winning image Dick Eckhardt - "Endless Ripples"
Winning Gosforth image as chosen by Beaufort: "Which Way Now"
‘Sex Please, We’re Sixty!’ opens Aug. 31 Hilarity ensues at The Rose Cottage Bed & Breakfast, as Coastal Stage Productions opens “Sex Please, We’re Sixty!” The cozy B&B is hosting three mature women for a relaxing getaway. The guests include the plucky romance novelist Victoria Ambrose (Connie Hoskins), who is suffering from writer’s block and hoping for some local inspiration; the sophisticated scientist/researcher Hillary Hudson (Anne Helm); and a properly over-the-top Southern charmer Charmaine Beauregard (Carol Miller). The inn’s neighbor, self-proclaimed Bud The Stud ( JT Chinn), believes that his charms are the reason most women regularly return. This weekend he’s hoping that some of his favorites from the previous year will show up. Never mind the fact that he can’t remember their names or exactly what they looked like. Meanwhile, the courtly Henry Mitchell (Michael Ryan), a retired chemist, only has eyes for the obsessively punctual and proper Mrs. Stancliffe (Kay Owen), the inn manager. She’s a prim and proper widow of 25 years who has always refused Henry’s daily marriage proposals. As the guests settle in, Henry confides to Bud that he’s invented a new pill, Venusia, a female Viagra that stimulates a menopausal woman’s libido. The women find out, pilfer some of the pills, readjust the plotline, and the senior-set comedy begins. “The zany plot is definitely aimed straight at those of a certain age. We get the jokes, we like the characters, and we love laughing out loud at them and ourselves as we recognize what’s going on,” says director Margy Oehlert. Get ready to laugh out loud, sit back and enjoy Michael and Susan Parker’s hilariously-written farce. Performance dates are Aug 31, Sept 1, 7 and 8 at 8 p.m. and Sept 1, 2, 8 and 9 at 2 p.m. at The Shed, 809 Paris Avenue, Port Royal. Reserved seating is $25, general admission is $22, and group reserved seating is $20. Tickets are on sale at www.coastalstageproductions.com or by phone at 843-717-2175.
Winning Gosforth image as chosen by Beaufort: "British Summer Time" by Peter Maguire
Over the past year the Photography Club of Beaufort has developed a close relationship with the Gosforth Camera Club from Newcastle-Upon-Tyne on the northwest coast of England. It all began in a rather unusual manner. Photography Club of Beaufort member’s Russ and Sandy Dimke were visiting Newcastle-Upon-Tyne last fall and asked the Gosforth Camera Club for a tour of their area. Four Gosforth club members spent the day with the Dimkes and it became apparent that both clubs shared common objectives – to enhance members’ photographic knowledge and skill and to improve the overall perception of photography as art in their community. Both clubs had amazingly similar structure with critiques, competitions, field trips, programs, workshops and annual assigned subjects to photograph. Gosforth members suggested that the two groups become "sister clubs" and participate in an annual interclub competition. For the initial competition members of both clubs were assigned the subject “water" – a perfect subject because water is what physically separates the two clubs and both clubs are in coastal communities. The clubs digitally sent 15 images of to each other for judging. The Photography Club of Beaufort first had two independent judges chose the 15 and select top awards. The local club members critiqued Gosforth's submissions and chose their top award winners. It was interesting to observe that Beaufort chose different winners than Gosforth and the same was true for the Beaufort images when critiqued by the British club. The top winner chosen by the Beaufort club was Dick Eckhardt's "Endless Ripples,” while Gosforth judges chose Richard Matheny's "Touching Eternity.” The top winning images from both clubs will be on exhibit in the Osher Lifelong Learning (OLLI) classroom at USCB’s Beaufort Campus through December.
McIntosh Book Shop to host book signing Author Daniel McDonald Johnson will sign copies of his most recent book, “This Cursed War,” at McIntosh Book Shoppe in Beaufort from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 11 Johnson’s latest work is a story of perseverence, the tale of Lachlan McIntosh, who suffered setbacks to his military strategies and smears to his reputation throughout the American Revolution. McIntosh, who was given command of Georgia’s continental troops at the beginning of the war, was never able to recruit enough soldiers to bring the battalion to full strength, yet he was able to establish a string of forts to protect Georgia’s southern border while his personal fortunes and family suffered. McIntosh participated in the defense of Charleston until he was taken prisoner when the city fell to the British. He eventually witnessed two of the most disastrous defeats of the Revolution, the assault on Savannah and the capture of Charleston. Yet McIntosh persevered. Johnson spent 25 years writing for newspapers and now works as a librarian at the University of South Carolina Salkehatchie. He has written several books concerning Clan Mackintosh and McIntosh families. He credits his mother Lorena McDonald Johnson with instilling a reverence for ancestors who, like Lachlan McIntosh, served in the Continental army during the American Revolution and participated in the sieges of Savannah and Charleston. His other books include “Blood on the Marsh,” a sprawling epic that traces the McIntosh and McDonald families from their ancestral home in the Scottish Highlands to the southern frontier of Colonial America and describes their participation in the Jacobite Risings and the American Revolution. “Mr. McIntosh’s Family” deals with Clan Mackintosh in the Jacobite Risings and with the McIntosh families who settled
Darien, Georgia, and fought in the struggle for the Colonial American southern frontier. “Brier Creek Battleground” gives the history and legend of a Revolutionary War site near Sylvania, Georgia. The book
includes maps, photos and travel information for people who want to visit the battleground and related sites along the Savannah River. Biographical information is given on John McIntosh, who was taken prisoner at Brier Creek.

cluded on this year’s list, the most of any firm. Cunningham was one of only five that made the list in the state of South Carolina. “We believe Patrick exemplifies what it means to be a leader in the wealth management space,” said Kathleen Delong, Southeast Coastal Market Executive. Advisors considered for this ranking were born in 1980 or later with a minimum of four years’ relevant experience. These advisors have built their own practices and lead their teams; joined teams and are viewed as future leadership; or a combination of both. The ranking algorithm is based on qualitative measures, such as telephone and in-person interviews, client retention, industry experience, credentials, review of compliance records, firm nominations, and quantitative criteria, such as assets under management and revenue generated for their firms. Investment performance is not a criteria because client objectives and risk tolerances vary, and advisors rarely have audited performance reports. Rankings are based on the opinions of SHOOK Research, LLC and not representative nor indicative of any one client’s experience, future performance, or investment outcome. Neither Forbes nor SHOOK Research receives compensation in exchange for placement on the ranking.

MUSC, BMH team up for first micro hospital in S.C. The first micro hospital in South Carolina moved one step closer to becoming a reality with the state’s approval of the project last week. The hospital will be built and operated through a joint venture between Beaufort Memorial Hospital (BMH) and the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC), and will offer a wide range of acute care services, including orthopedics, cardiology, general surgery, lab and imaging, as well as emergency services. The joint venture recently purchased
13 acres of land for the new facility at the intersection of Buckwalter Parkway and Bluffton Parkway. The micro hospital was originally slated to be built next to Beaufort Memorial’s planned medical office building in Okatie Crossing; however, the decision was made to move the hospital’s location after soil tests and surveys at the Okatie site revealed that it would be cost prohibitive to prepare the property for the additional building. Beaufort Memorial will move forward with the medical office building at
the Okatie site, with plans to break ground this fall. “We couldn’t be more pleased with the state’s decision to approve our application for this project,” said Russell Baxley, MHA, president and CEO of BMH. “Working with MUSC to respond to the community’s growing need for high-quality, specialized services will only help improve patients’ access to care.” Plans for the facility include a 15bed emergency room and 20 beds for acute care, with approximately 125 employees serving both adult
and pediatric patients. The hospital is expected to open in 2022 at an estimated cost of $44 million. “As we continue to monitor the needs of our growing state population, and talk with our affiliate partners such as Beaufort Memorial, one thing is abundantly clear,” said Patrick J. Cawley, M.D., CEO for MUSC Health and vice president for Health Affairs, University. “Our neighbors expect quality health care, delivered with a collaborative spirit in the most convenient geographic locations, and with a laser

focus on value. This joint venture endeavors to do just that.” Micro hospitals are acute care hospitals that meet all federal and state licensing and regulatory requirements. They focus on treating low-acuity patients with a higher level of service, providing ambulatory and emergency services while leaving more complex surgeries and service lines for their associated full-service hospitals.

THE DANGERS OF LASERS POINTERS By Mark S. Siegel, MD FAAO
A boy from Greece lost much of the vision in one eye after looking directly at the light from a laser pointer several times, according to a report published this month in the New England Journal of Medicine. Unfortunately, this kind of injury is all too common. It can be hard to tell how powerful a laser pointer is. The power of the laser makes the difference between a harmless novelty and a blinding danger. In the United States, the federal Food and Drug Administration regulates laser Dr. Mark Siegel devices. The FDA provides a wealth of basic information about lasers, laser safety tips for parents, and guidance for manufacturers. Products that contain lasers are generally safe when used as directed. But continuing stories of injuries suggest that many people still don’t know what’s safe. The FDA provides these tips for anyone who owns or is considering getting a laser device: • Never aim or shine a laser directly at anyone, including animals. The light energy from a laser aimed into the eye can be hazardous, perhaps even more than
staring directly into the sun. Do not aim a laser at any vehicle, aircraft, or shiny surface. Remember that the startling effect of a bright beam of light can cause serious accidents when aimed at a driver in a car, for instance, or otherwise negatively affect someone doing another activity (such as playing sports). • Look for an FDA-recommended IEC Class I label on children’s toy lasers. The label says “Class 1 Laser Product,” which would clearly communicate that the product is of low risk and not in a higher emission level laser class. • Do not buy laser pointers for children, or allow children to use them. These products are not toys. • Do not buy or use any laser that emits more than 5mW power, or that does not have the power printed on the labeling. • Immediately consult a health care professional if you or a child suspects or experiences any eye injury. As power increases above five milliwatts, the time margin for safe exposure decreases and permanent eye and skin damage can occur quickly. However, the output power of laser pointers is not immediately apparent to the user. Laser •
pointers often lack the required labeling or are mislabeled, and definitive testing of individual pointers is beyond the reach of the average consumer. Researchers have concluded that the wide availability of these devices, which are often marketed as toys, could lead to an epidemic of eye injuries, according to a study released in 2013 by Ophthalmology, the journal of the American Academy of Ophthalmology. If a laser with less than five milliwatts of output power is directed at someone's eye, that person can blink or turn away without suffering an eye injury. However, the natural protective mechanisms of the eye – such as the blink reflex – are ineffective against lasers with an output power greater than five milliwatts, and severe retinal damage may occur, even after momentary exposure. The problem is that the products sometimes lack labels or have inaccurate labels. About 60 percent of the sampled laser pointer products that the FDA tests were overpowered compared with what the label said. Dr. Mark Siegel is the medical director at Sea Island Ophthalmology at 111 High Tide Drive (off Midtown Drive near Low Country Medical Group). Visit www.seaislandophthalmology.com.
DMH to provide Crisis Intervention in Beaufort County The South Carolina Department of Mental Health (SCDMH), in partnership with the Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Department, launched its Community Crisis Response and Intervention (CCRI) Program in Beaufort County on Aug. 1. CCRI will provide on-site emergency psychiatric screening and assessment to indi-

AUGUST 2-8, 2018
viduals experiencing mental health emergencies within 60 minutes of contact with the CCRI team. The service will be available 24 hours per day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, and can be reached, toll-free, at (833) DMH-CCRI (364-2274). The team will work with local police departments and members of the com-
munity throughout Beaufort County, with plans to eventually expand to statewide coverage. “Our goal is to quickly link people in crisis to appropriate levels of care and divert them from unnecessary hospitalizations and incarcerations,” CCRI Director Amanda Gilchrist said. CCRI, a program of the SCDMH Division of Community Mental Health Services, began providing services in May in Berkeley County. The program was initiated to address emergent psychiatric crises in the community by means of assessment and referral. It provides clinical screenings to both adults and children in one of several ways: in person at the location of crisis, in person at a community mental health center, or by phone. In addition to accompanying team members to on-site screenings, Law Enforcement will access the CCRI for consultation or request a clinician dispatch to a scene as needed, allowing for a more efficient use of resources as well as a “warm hand-off ” for individuals in need of evaluations. In addition to assessing individuals in crisis, CCRI clinicians will educate individuals on available community resources, coordinate appropriate transfers and referrals, match patients to the most appropriate care, and serve as liaisons to the local SCDMH mental health center. The team will accept referrals from any community partner or individual reporting a psychiatric crisis.
“Our goal is to quickly link people in crisis to appropriate levels of care and divert them from unnecessary hospitalizations and incarcerations.” AMANDA GILCHRIST
Community Crisis Response and Intervention Director “The Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office looks forward to working side by side with the South Carolina Department of Mental Health in this important initiative to help better understand and address issues of mental health in our community,” Beaufort County Sheriff P.J. Tanner said.

Dr. Dan Smith with patient at Express Care.
In order to provide additional access for patients suffering from acute, nonlife-threatening medical issues, Beaufort Memorial Hospital (BMH) has expanded hours at its new immediate care clinic at 974 Ribaut Rd. As of August 1, the clinic will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday through Friday, and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., offering medical care for a wide range of minor ailments and injuries, including the flu, strep throat, sprains and strains, urinary tract infections, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration and lacerations. Operating hours will expand again as the need for services increases. Beaufort Memorial Express Care & Occupational Health is staffed by Dr. Dan Smith, a board-certified family medicine specialist with more than 14 years’ experience; Dr. Julian Levin, a former Air Force physician board-certified in both family and occupational medicine; and board-certified physician assistant Cameron Price. “As an express care clinic, it’s designed to provide patients with faster access to care if they can’t get in right away to see their doctor,” said Angie Barber, practice operations administrator for Beaufort Memorial Physician Partners. “The clinic supports our primary care practices, easing the demand
for same-day appointments and decreasing unnecessary visits to the ER.” In addition, Beaufort Memorial Express Care & Occupational Health also serves employees of businesses participating in Well at Work, the hospital’s comprehensive wellness program designed to cover everything from pre-employment physicals to workplace injuries. Companies enrolled in the Well at Work program are able to send employees suffering workplace injuries to the clinic for expedited medical services, reducing lost time and rising workers’ compensation costs. The clinic also can perform employees’ physical exams, drug and alcohol testing and biometric screenings, including cholesterol and blood pressure tests. “We are pleased to be able to offer patients more access to the clinic with evening and Saturday hours, and plan to grow the facility based on the needs of the community,” Barber said. “We anticipate expanding our hours of operation again in the near future and will add support staff as demand increases for services.” Beaufort Memorial Express Care & Occupational Health accepts most insurance, as well as cash and credit cards.

Truth Matters
Should We Speak Out? Truth Is Meant to Be Shared
Should Christians speak out?
Should we tolerate a friend driving drunk?
When Christians attempt to share Christ with others or speak out about moral issues, we are often accused of being “intolerant.” The fear of being labeled as intolerant can keep us from lovingly sharing truth with others.
Imagine seeing a friend at a restaurant, clearly intoxicated and about to drive himself home. Is it judgmental or arrogant to recognize that drunk driving is a dangerous and immoral course of action? Is it intolerant to challenge the friend and help him to choose a different course of action? Of course not!
A false understanding of tolerance has become popular. In recent years, tolerance has come to mean that one should accept all viewpoints as equally true or good. It is seen as arrogant and judgmental to think that you know the truth in a particular matter, especially regarding faith or morals. It is seen as intolerant to share truth or help another person see that they are making a mistake. We must accept and celebrate everyone’s actions and beliefs, and leave everyone to whatever they want to do.
Authentic tolerance means respectful disagreement. In its original sense, tolerance means that we respect and care for all people, even if we disagree with them on important subjects. Opposing views can be discussed in an atmosphere of mutual respect. For example, an atheist and a Christian could disagree on the existence of God and still hold each other in great esteem. They could respectfully talk about these matters, trying to help each other see the truth, and even be close friends. Without authentic tolerance, true dialogue ceases. The irony of our “tolerant” culture is that views contrary to current political correctness are not tolerated. All viewpoints are supposed to be equally true and good, but quite often Christians are rejected as fools or bigots for adhering to Christian beliefs. Christians are expected to change their own beliefs to match what is politically correct. This is the opposite of authentic tolerance. Christians should share the truth with love and respect. If we really believe that Jesus is divine, and that knowing him is the source of happiness both now and after death, how can we not want to share this good news? Like Jesus himself, we do not force anyone to our way of thinking, but with love we joyfully share what is good and true!

Above: Children make their way from their “hatchery” tent seen in the background and have to make their way through a maze of both natural and man-made debris. Here, they fall into a simple hole dug into the sand. The resulting pit, according to Friends of Hunting Island volunteer Teresa Roundy, right, explains that turtle hatchlings, “don’t have the ability to change directions and usually fall onto their backs and die” if they fall into a hole. “Climbing out of the hole would be like us trying to climb a 10-story building.” Photos by Bob Sofaly. From far left: Teresa Roundy, right, a volunteer with Friends of Hunting Island State Park, stands in a hole after adding artificial turtles that can’t make it out on their own. Children, after navigating through a field of debris, have to make their way through the beach hole before entering the surf line in the tent in the background; Peggy Willenberg, left, a volunteer with the Friends of Hunting Island, is dressed as a Canetta sea turtle as she describes the pitfalls many baby turtles face after hatching on the beach. The children went into a dark tent where they were “hatched” and had to find their way out of the tent. Once the hatchlings were out they had to maneuver their way through typical beach debris, both natural and manmade, then through a series of other obstacles a young turtle might encounter on its way to the surf. The event was part of the Friends of Hunting Island State Park’s Turtle Conservation Project.

Whitehall park project back in play By Justin Jarrett
The prospect of a waterfront public park on the controversial Whitehall property is back on the table, and several groups are lining up to help make it a reality. Representatives from the Beaufort County Open Land Trust and Beaufort County recently approached developer Sam Levin of Whitehall Point Holdings, LLC, in a final attempt to purchase a portion of Whitehall for public open space before construction commences on the development plan approved in February. Levin agreed to consider the possibility of the sale of up to 10 acres — about half of the total size of the tract — on the western waterfront portion of Whitehall that overlooks the Beaufort River and Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park. “Up to this point in its current ownership, the property has not been for sale to us,” said Barbara Holmes, Director of Land Protection for the Beaufort County Open Land Trust. “We must do all we can to take advantage of this extraordinary opportunity to give this community what it has been so passionately asking us for. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Once construction begins, the conversion of this land to residential use is irreversible.”
Holmes added that as part of any agreement regarding the possible purchase of property for a park, the conceptual development on the remaining acreage retained by Whitehall Holdings would be built according to approved plans. At issue is the potential cost – the developer has asked for $6.5 million for the 10 acres, according to the Sea Island Coalition, and the land is currently valued at about $680,000 per acre, but county tax records show an appraised value of just over $2 million in May 2016, perhaps giving officials room to negotiate. The city and county have agreed to maintain the property if converted into a park, and the project has widespread support and is
taking shape as a potential public-private partnership. “We fully support a new park at Whitehall, and see it it as a tremendous asset for the Lady’s Island Community and for our area in general,” said Mark Weeks, President of the Lady’s Island Business and Professional Association (LIBPA). “We have already made a financial contribution to the effort and hope that will ‘prime the pump.” A new group – the Friends of Whitehall Park – has organized for the purpose of helping to move the project forward. The group, modeled after the successful groups “Friends of Hunting Island,” “Friends of Crystal Lake,”
and “Friends of Fort Fremont,” will be comprised of representatives from the county, the City of Beaufort, Beaufort County Open Land Trust, and other local interest groups. “The goal of this group is to encompass as many interested parties that are willing to be involved,” Acting Chairman Paul Butare said. “We hope to have broad participation from the public using Facebook, the petition site Change.org, and our website (www.FriendsofWhitehallPark.com) as a source of current and historical information.” Whitehall is a unique piece of property in Northern Beaufort County — the only waterfront property remaining that could serve as a useable public waterfront park connecting Lady's Island to the Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park. With 850 feet of walkable waterfront, the 900-foot pedestrian/bike trail, and ample parking, it can be one of the most connected, accessible and useable public parks in downtown Beaufort. If 10 acres of this property were to become a park, it would remove almost 70 approved residential units and their associated impacts, according to the Beaufort County Open Land Trust. “We have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to preserve an icon-
ic property, reduce traffic impact, better protect the Beaufort River and create a public asset for Lady’s Island, Beaufort and the surrounding communities,” County Council Chairman Paul Sommerville said. County Council discussions regarding the possibility of protecting and using the Whitehall property for a public park have occurred at least as far back as the 1960s. Development on the Whitehall property has been planned numerous times by developers, and each time the land value went up along with the density requirements to make developing it economically viable. Beaufort County residents have long realized the value of the property, citing it as “a treasure,” “priceless,” “irreplaceable,” “beautiful historic land” and “idyllic” during a public comment period in 2017 prior to a proposed re-zoning which would have increased the allowable density on the property. “We have for some time believed that a park at Whitehall would be of benefit to the city and region,” Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling said. “A park has always been a part of our Civic Master Plan and we continue to support that concept. There are experienced and talented professionals working out the details and we are supportive of the process.”

Just two days after athletics director Neal McCarty announced he was stepping down, Beaufort Academy had found his successor. BA announced last week that Nick Field will take over the role, inheriting an athletics program that is coming off one of the most successful years in its history. McCarty announced early last week that he was stepping down after Nick Field an impressive four-year run in the position. BA had a record-setting 2017-18 campaign, winning five state championships, having several coaches earn region Coach of the Year honors, and numerous postseason player accolades. All of that after the school won the South Carolina Independent School Association’s prestigious President’s Cup Award – the highest distinction for a private-school athletic program in the state – for the first time in 2016-17. “I am very excited to be joining the Beaufort Academy family and serve as their athletic director,” Field said. “Neal McCarty has left some very big shoes to fill, but has also laid a solid foundation for me to build on.” Field was hired as an assistant basketball coach earlier this summer but will now add athletic director and head of facilities maintenance to his title. A veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps, Field has coached at Riverview Charter School and Beaufort High School, as well as with the Bluffton Bulls AAU program and the Beaufort Hustle AAU program, which he founded. “Nick Field brings a strong background and love for athletics and its potential to help develop hardworking and team-oriented young people,” Head of School Dr. Dan Durbin said. “Although we will miss the leadership of Neal McCarty, we are pleased to have found someone that shares his commitment to the young people of our school.”

District’s dropout rate improved over five-year period Significantly fewer Beaufort County School District students dropped out of high school during 2016-17 compared to five years earlier, according to a report released this week by the South Carolina Department of Education. Five-year trend data for the district showed a significant decrease in dropouts, from 213 students in 2012-13 to 98 in 2016-17. The lower dropout numbers were recorded even as overall student enrollment across the district increased. Looking at a single-year data comparison from 2015-16 to 2016-17, 98 district students in grades 9-12 left high school and did not return, compared to 84 during the 2015-16 school year. Looking at dropouts as a percentage of total enrollment in grades 9-12, Beaufort was at 1.5 percent in 2016-17 compared to 3.8 percent in 2012-13. Across the state, South Carolina’s overall dropout percentage was 2.4 percent in 2016-17 compared to 2.6 percent in 2012-13. Although dropout rates are different from graduation rates, which track the B2
AUGUST 2-8, 2018
percentage of students who complete high school and get a diploma “on time” in four years, Superintendent Jeff Moss said the two statistics are related. “Our significantly reduced dropout rates over the past five years mirror our steadily improving high school graduation rates over the same period,” Moss said. “If we continue to do a good job from kindergarten all the way through high school, then we’ll continue to see fewer dropouts and higher graduation rates.” The district’s 2017 high school graduation rate was 84.1 percent, a significant improvement from 75.3 percent five years earlier. Among the local priorities Moss mentioned were: • An increased focus on digital learning and digital instruction to provide a more customized educational experience for every student. • More curriculum choices for parents to promote individualized learning. • More effective ways to identify and
assist students who are struggling in school and are at greater risk of dropping out. • More effective early childhood education that prepares students for greater academic success as they move up through the grades. • Enhanced career and technology education that provides a path to two-year technical college and good-paying jobs for students who aren’t interested in a four-year degree. State Superintendent of Education Molly Spearman expressed optimism that dropout rates will decline across South Carolina. "Students who are engaged and see the relevance in what they are learning will show up to class on time and not drop out," Spearman said. "I challenge our teachers, schools and districts to find students' passions and offer them opportunities so that they can be successful. If we do this, our graduation rates will continue to climb and our dropout rate will get even lower."
Beaufort Academy has announced Jeff Rushing, and experienced competitive swimmer and coach, as its new head swim coach. Rushing swam competitively for the U.S. Marine Corps swim program for 16 years and has been an instructor for numerous organizations, including the American Red Cross and the Marine Corps. “Jeff is a great fit for our swim program and school’s mission and brings extensive experience as a swim coach as well,” outgoing BA athletic director Neal McCarty said in a release. “We are thrilled that he will be leading our swim program. Shannon Roberts led the BA swim program with her strong commitment last season and genuine concern for each and every swimmer she coached. We want to thank Shannon and her family for their dedication to Beaufort Academy.” Rushing’s wife, Michelle, will join the swim program as an assistant coach, and assistant coach Laura Roddey will remain on staff. Jeff Rushing swam for the US Marine Corps swim program for over 16 years. He continued his swimming career by joining the local American Red Cross Chapter in Coronado, California, and was the lead instructor for adult and youth water survival courses. He was also selected for the all-military swim team and was assigned as the Lead Officer for the Parris Island Marine Combat Training pool, where he supervised the entire swim program.

Port Royal annexations bring opportunity to Beaufort By Bill Rauch
Now is a moment Henry Chambers would have relished. Following the former mayor’s recent death, the coverage of Chambers’ tenure has focused largely on his aggressive and against-the-odds push to bring to fruition what we now know as the Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park. The Waterfront Park was a transformative triumph to be sure, but there was so much more. Henry, for example, was the one who first took the city across the Beaufort River to bring the Lady’s Island Marina complex into the city’s limits. A fierce advocate of growing the city’s limits — especially to increase its business tax base — it was Henry, too, who stretched the city’s limits out to the Cross Creek Shopping Center. Both efforts were lengthy, complex and deeply controversial. The 2009 Beaufort County Northern Area Plan established future growth boundaries for Beaufort and Port Royal and thus removed some of the drama that was previously attendant to annexations north of the Broad River. Yet even in the present-day low-drama climate, the current Beaufort City Council’s attitude toward growing the city’s boundaries, including its all-important business tax base, has been Don’t Ask/Don’t Tell. No similar malaise has affected the Port Royal Town Council. If the current Beaufort City Council continues in their present countenance, soon they will begin missing a big opportunity,
an opportunity that Henry Chambers and other more aggressive mayors would not have let pass. Wait. What? Why? During the recent budget season something happened that has gone Bill Rauch largely unnoticed because one part of the puzzle revealed itself in the Beaufort County Council’s chambers and the other came about in the council chambers in Beaufort’s City Hall. The Burton Fire District put their millage rate up 4.18 mils and the City of Beaufort raised theirs 1.02 mil so that on next year’s property tax bills the city’s millage rate will be 74.59 and Burton’s will be 73.97. This parity of rates (roughly six-tenths of a mil), coming for years but now arrived, changes the dynamic for the city’s growth into the Burton Fire District. Port Royal is shrewdly right in the middle at 74. Simply put, it means current residents in the Burton Fire District, if their property is contiguous to the City of Beaufort, can for six-tenths of a mil get city services. Those services would be, for starters, trash pickup, a Class 1 ISO rating that will lower their homeowner’s insurance premiums, police response times under five minutes, and faster and less burdensome building permits and inspections. For the contiguous businesses in the area of the Marine Corps Air Station and along S.C. 170 to the new fire station, the opportunity is sweeter still: discounts on business licenses, and three years of the
city portion of their property tax payments rebated. The City should be making its plans now to reach out to these businesses. In the words of Alice Howard, who represents on the County Council both the incorporated Beaufort and unincorporated Burton Fire District areas, the fire district has had to increase its tax rate “because Burton’s tax base is shrinking.” Why is Burton’s tax base shrinking? Because the Town of Port Royal — who in recent years has been more aggressive than Beaufort about growing its boundaries — has been growing substantially into the Burton Fire District. When properties annex into Port Royal or Beaufort they no longer contribute their non-county/nonschool district property taxes to Burton, but
instead those monies go to one of the municipalities’ treasuries. Does the city benefit from these expansions? Yes. Will the city seek these expansions? That is the question. In an election year will the city expend the effort to get the word out? Will they say the A-word? Are they committed to aggressively protecting the city’s stature as the commercial center of northern Beaufort County? Do they care that doing so lowers the pressure on their residential taxpayers? The early indications — and their recent performance — suggest that they will not. ” Bill Rauch was the mayor of Beaufort from 1999-2008. Email Bill at TheRauchReport@ gmail.com.
Time to swab the deck, Matey! Now what?
You may have noticed there has been a lot of rain lately. Even the Water Festival Opening Ceremony was rained out, and many of the Hunting Island campers left town early. Because of all this rain, there were associated problems. Streets were flooded, and we had electric outages. One problem that faced me after the rain stopped was my screened porch. It was a mess. Two weeks of rain had taken a toll on all the contents, and not just the flooring. It seemed liked everything was covered with dirt. The cushions on the furniture all needed to be cleaned, and the metal furniture had to be wiped down. But the worst part was the mildew. Time for a little elbow grease. I tried to pull a Tom Sawyer on my husband by saying, “Honey, I am going out to clean up the porches. It is so much fun!” “You have fun,” he replied and added, “You
may want to whitewash that fence, too.” But as I started to move patio tables, he did come out to help. We moved all the furniture, the plants, and the indoor/outdoor rug, then got out our buckets and brushes. Then I pulled out my rubber gloves, and he grabbed the bleach, soap, and hose and together we swabbed the deck. Now, as boaters we understand the concept of swabbing the deck, but why must I do
it on my screened porch. I am always going out and cleaning the glass table tops on the end tables and I thought initially it was just pollen, but after wiping them down a few times, I discovered it was something more. My neighbor, Charlie, suggested that it was the dirt from the marshland that hangs in the air and comes in on a nice breeze. So, we have learned that one of our regular chores here in the Lowcountry is scrub-
bing down decks, railings, and steps. With the humidity and the floating particles of dirt, the porch becomes uninviting. After we finished scrubbing, we both took showers and inspected our work. We had to wait a few hours until everything dried before we put all the furniture back. The results were amazing, and we were pleased with our work that evening as we enjoyed our cocktails on our beautiful scrubbed porch. “Well I guess we are not the only ones who have to clean up the mildew and grime on their porches,” I said. “It must be all over the Lowcountry.” “No, you are wrong,” said my spouse. “Some people never have to do it. They hire people to do it.” Shiver me timbers, matey. He is probably right.
It’s probably safe to assume that most wine drinkers have had at least one New Zealand wine, and it’s almost as safe to assume the one was a Sauvignon Blanc. The Kiwis are known for producing some of the absolute best Sauvignon Blancs in the world, but New Zealand does produce other wines – other whites, like Chardonnay, Riesling, and white blends, and, yes, they also produce red wines. Easily as good as their whites, the reds are not as plentiful or as well-known, unfortunately, but it might just be time to fix that. New Zealand’s first vineyard was planted in 1851 in Hawke’s Bay. The first Marlborough vineyard was planted in 1973. While most of their Sauvignon Blancs come from Marlborough, Hawke’s Bay is the source for more of their red wines. Marlborough is on the south island; Hawke’s Bay is on the north island. Both have free-draining land with alluvial soils. It is this alluvial soil that becomes so important in Hawke’s Bay. There are deposits, known as the Gimblett Gravels, that have superb characteristics for wine grapes, par-
ticularly the Bordeaux red varieties. These gravel areas are in former river beds with very stoney soils. That means less fertility in the soil and lower water levels, and the storing of heat where the Celia Strong vines grow. The hotter and drier meso-climate is perfect for Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Today, New Zealand red wines, made mostly from European varietals, are becoming better known. Pinot Noir is their most popular red, but Bordeaux style blends, single variety Merlots (more than Cabernets), and Syrahs are all being developed, as well as Cabernet Franc and Malbecs. So Hawke’s Bay has the country’s oldest vineyard and thei country’s second-largest wine-producing region, making more than 10 percent of the total production. Oyster Bay is our winery this week. Located near Marlborough, Oyster Bay produced their first Sauvignon Blanc in 1991.
And they are still owned and run by members of the original founding family. They do not make any reserve wines. What you see is what you get. Their philosophy is to make distinctly regional wines with elegance and assertive, fruity flavors. An intense search led them to Hawke’s Bay as the best source for their Merlot wine. Lots of sunshine and ancient gravel soils produce a fragrant, soft and elegant wine with intense fruitiness. The grapes for Oyster Bay Merlot come from several vineyards – Gimblett Road, Heretaunga Plains, and Crownthorpe Terraces. All in a world-class cool climate region. The Ngaruroro River (no, it’s not easily pronounced) flows by and through these vineyards, carrying alluvial soils from the hills to the plains. In 1867, one particularly hard rain storm altered the course of this river and left behind the beds of alluvial river stones and shingle soils – the Gimblett Gravels. What makes Oyster Bay Merlot so superlative? Definitely the soils where the grapes grow, but also the grapes themselves. In 1991, Bordeaux clone 181 was introduced –
a super premium clone with moderate yields, small berries and lower acidity levels, as well as intense flavor profiles. The vines for these grapes are three to 16 years old. After harvest, the grapes are de-stemmed, crushed and fermented in stainless steel. Pure yeast cultures are used to enhance varietal aromas and fruitiness. Rackings and pump-overs are done during fermentation to extract as much flavor as possible. Malolactic fermentation is done before the wine goes into barrels, and barrel selection plays its part. Bordeaux barriques that are tight-grained and air-seasoned for two years minimum impart subtle toasty, smoky characteristics, spicy complexity and structural tannins, contributing to excellent textures and concentration. A lot of care and attention to detail for a non-reserve wine. Loaded with fruit aromas and flavors blueberry, cherry, blackberry, black currant and mixed with cocoa powder, coffee, baking spices, honey and vanilla. The world is your oyster! For $11.97. Enjoy. Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island.
