Whew! Boundary Street closer to completion By Amy Rigard

The headaches for drivers and businesses along Boundary Street may be coming to an end in March 2018 when the construction project is slated to be completed. “The fact that we are on time and on budget for a small municipality with a project of this size shows the enormous effort on the part of all the stakeholders to realize the success of this project,” said Neal Pugliese, director of Public Projects & Facilities for the city of Beaufort. As part of the project, all the
utilities along Boundary Street have been moved underground. The entire storm drainage system along the corridor has been upgraded to combat the effects of any flooding. Boundary Street will continue to provide two lanes of traffic in each direction, and the lanes will be separated by a landscaped median to improve both the aesthetics and safety of the road. Connecting housing to employment and shopping centers along Boundary Street and creating a direct connection to the Span-
ish Moss Trail are also important components of this project. The nearly 2-mile project has included almost 3 miles of cabling, close to 3 miles of duct bank work, 6 miles of curbing and 21,000 tons of asphalt. “This has been a 100-percent team effort,” said Pugliese. “I think the success we’ve seen to date with this project can be attributed to the people who had the vision and to our political leadership who have done a fantastic job helping peoSee STREET, page A6

From the audience’s
perspective, families get to see some truly wonderful holiday shows.” Local private schools are also holding Christmas events. Holy Trinity Classical Christian School students in grades K-10 will be performing carols as part of the school's 6th Annual Christmas Concert, Gloria in Excelsis DeoA Festival of Lessons in Carols.
The event will be held at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 19, at Community Bible Church located at 636 Parris Island Gateway in Beaufort.

Time is the most valuable asset known to man. Every individual uses the time they have on what they find worthwhile. Some pour themselves into a job, their children, a hobby or helping others. For Beaufort High School graduate Farrell Wright, the latter is how he has chosen to spend his time.
Wright moved to Beaufort with his family when he was in the third grade. He and his family moved to the area in order to be closer to relatives. Even after those family members moved away, Wright and his immediate family chose to stay and call Beaufort home. Now 20 and a junior at Winthrop University, he is a social work major with a passion for making the lives of others better. “I honestly do not have any type of motivation as to why I do the volunteer work,” Wrightl said. “I guess you can say I always wanted to give back to the world that has

given so much to me.” The volunteer work he refers to is far beyond what would be expected from a fulltime college student. Wright does extensive work with three Rock Hill organizations: Keystone Substance Abuse, the Adult Enrichment Center and most recently lending a hand with All American Athletes. All American Athletes is a program put on by First ARP Church in Rock Hill for children with disabilities.

Drunken driver sentenced to prison
A 28-year-old Ridgeland man charged with felony DUI following a head-on collision that killed a Bluffton college student has been sentenced to 15 years in prison. Christopher Lenning pleaded guilty at the Jasper County Courthouse to felony hit and run with death, and felony DUI resulting in death. At about 8 p.m. on Jan. 6, Lenning was traveling eastbound on S.C. 462 near Dawson Landing Road when he steered his pickup across the centerline and struck a car driven by Caleb Whiteleather, 18, of Bluffton. The impact caused Whiteleather’s car to spin around, eventually coming to rest in a ditch on the side of the road. Lenning left the scene where Whiteleather died. Whiteleather had left his parents’ Bluffton home 35 minutes before the wreck. A freshman at Winthrop University, he was headed back to school following the holiday break. “The defendant had likely been drinking for at least four hours when the collision occurred," Christopher said Administrative So- Lenning licitor Patrick Hall. “When officers finally found Mr. Lenning, he had a blood alcohol content of .113. That’s more than one-and-half times the legal limit.” Lenning’s prior criminal record includes a 2008 conviction on six counts of aggravated assault on a police officer and DUI.

BMH nurse honored with DAISY Award Beaufort Memorial Collins Birthing Center Director Patti Valentini, right, shows Daisy Award recipient Tiffany Heath the banner created in her honor. Photo by Paul Nurnberg.
Tiffany Heath was just two days into her new job as a labor and delivery nurse in Beaufort Memorial Hospital’s birthing center when a patient went into premature labor and lost her baby. “All I could do was stand at the bedside and comfort her,” Heath recalled. “It was heartbreaking. It really touched me. That day, I committed myself to taking care of parents who lose a child.” That was 12 years ago. She has been doing so ever since. Earlier this year, Heath teamed up with BMH chaplain Ed Morgan to start a Parents’ Bereavement Support Group for mothers and fathers struggling to overcome the grief of losing a child. Her efforts earned her a DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses, a national tribute reserved for RNs who go the extra mile to care for patients and their families. Hospital administrators and coworkers gathered in the Birthing Center recently to surprise Heath with the award. She was given an engraved vase full of daisies and a handcarved sculpture titled “A Healer’s Touch.” “Tiffany is a role model for compassionate nursing,” said Beaufort Memorial Director of
Birthing Services Patti Valentini, who nominated Heath for the award. “She has always been involved in the care of mothers who have lost their babies, but this past year, she has worked passionately with Chaplain Morgan to bring a parents’ bereavement support group to Beaufort County.” One of the first parents to join the group was Tonya Doctor, who lost her only child this spring. Born four months early, Zahir, passed away just days before he would have celebrated his first birthday. “It’s been very helpful to talk with people who have gone through the same thing and hear how they cope,” said Doctor, of Yemassee. “It was comforting to know I was going to make it through this.” The support group meets at 7 p.m. the first Tuesday of every month in classroom 350-C of Beaufort Medical Plaza, 989 Ribaut Road. Before launching the program, Heath went through two days of special training to learn how to support patients who have lost a child. She worked alongside Morgan, who served as the hospital staff chaplain for three years and a pastor for 35. “Losing a child is an experience you never get over,” Morgan said. “But life goes on, as hard as that sounds. We try to provide a means to get past the grief and begin healing.” The DAISY Award was created in 1999 by a Seattle couple as a way to honor the nurses who took care of their son before he died. It has since been adopted by healthcare facilities all over the world. Anyone can nominate a BMH nurse for the DAISY Award. Applications are available throughout the hospital. For more information on the Beaufort Memorial Parents’ Bereavement Support Group, call Heath at 843-522-5176.

He works extensively with the children and their families, as well as those who volunteer with the program. “The unique thing about All American Athletes is that it gives children … the opportunity to learn and understand the importance of team work and playing together,” Dagenhart said. “Without folks like Farrell and others from Winthrop University we would be unable to facilitate All American Athletes.” Wright loves working with the children at
opment potential, and ability to accommodate vehicle traffic, bicycles and pedestrians. Another goal was to create a more inviting and attractive entrance to the city and the Beaufort National Historic Landmark District along Boundary Street. The $33 million multi-jurisdictional project, funded by a Federal Highway Administration TIGER grant, 1-cent Beaufort County sales tax and city of Beaufort TIF II, is currently ahead of schedule and under budget. Construction on the approximately 1.5-mile project began in January 2016. According to the city of Beaufort’s website, “The city of Beaufort and Beaufort County seek to transform Boundary Street from a crowded, inefficient and unattractive strip commercial corridor into a complete, compact and connected mixed-use district that supports a more walkable, livable and attractive community.” All American Athletes. He does not see the disabilities as a hardship or a barrier, instead as a way to connect with someone who others might be uncomfortable with approaching. “If I can make one person smile that day I volunteer somewhere, then I am satisfied,” he said. Wright also spends time at the Adult Enrichment center, which many seniors frequent. This presents a completely different dynamic between Wright and those he is serving. Some may be satisfied with simply volunteering their time, but not so for Wright. He was determined to get others involved in what he feels so passionately about. In order to meet this end, he decided to pursue a leadership role in his fraternity. As the Community Service chair for the Winthrop University chapter of Pi Kappa Phi, he organizes the philanthropy for the fraternity. He also brings along fellow brothers on weekly trips to the Adult Enrichment Center and All American Athletes. “Farrell demonstrates what it means to put service before self,” said Pi Kappa Phi member Justin McWatters. “He is always willing to lend a hand and help better the community around him."

In addition, the founders were dedicated to honoring the history of leadership in the Lowcountry by recognizing individuals and organizations that have contributed to the general welfare and development of the community. As a result, the foundation is committed to partnering and funding the following project types: • Scholarships for students at schools or organizations fully committed to providing a full program of curriculum and activities dedicated to developing leadership skills in youth. Such programs must include credit-bearing courses that lead to a complete course of study. • Academic scholarships for students entering college and have demonstrated strong leadership skills in high school. Honorees must be enrolled at an accredited educational institution. • Community Leadership Conferences and/or workshops for youth and adults. Visit www.LowcountryLeaders.com.

She will now compete for a state award presented by the DAR. “American history, in particular, has a special place in my heart because I realize the value of our American freedom,” said Mixson. “I want the students at the sixth-grade level to learn the basic facts of American history. But more than that, I want them to see the good that America has accomplished in the world.” Mixson teaches a curriculum that encompasses Christian Studies, Famous Men of Greece, American History, Latin, Math, Language Arts (composition, spelling and grammar), Literature and Science. “A lot of what I do is seek to inspire,” she said. “I allow my love for AmeriChristy Mixson ca to infuse our readings, discussions and memorizations so as to nourish their appetite to understand at their level the complexity of the times that America has come through.” Mixson’s 17 students memorize more than 200 facts about American History and the names of the presidents in order. They study American History from colonial times through the modern period. Mixson earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Religion summa cum laude at Liberty University, Lynchburg, Va. She is studying for a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling. She and her husband, Chris, live in Port Royal. They have two grown children.

Tiny House Show donates funds to DragonBoat Beaufort DragonBoat Beaufort, the local cancer survivor/supporter racing team, received a $5,000 donation from the first Low Country Tiny House Show held Nov. 4-5 at Shelter Cove Community Park on Hilton Head Island. The show was sponsored by New South Living LLC. The show organizers were introduced to DragonBoat Beaufort by the Lowcountry Radio Group (104.9 the Surf ), a longtime media sponsor of Dragonboat Race Day. New South Living LLC, Driftwood Homes USA, along with several other builders, showcased their unique tiny homes as a part of the Tiny House Movement - one of the hottest trends in the housing market today. The tiny homes include all necessary features of a home to live a sustainable life including full bathrooms, appliances, queen size beds, living rooms and many other custom features.
“DragonBoat Beaufort is very thankful to Ben Kennedy (Brighton Builders) and to New South Living LLC for the donation,” according to a release. Dragonboat Beaufort is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide cancer survivors the opportunity to heal and regain physical and psychological strength and wellness through the camaraderie and competition of dragonboat paddling and racing. In addition, through DragonBoat Beaufort’s Outreach Program, those impacted by cancer receive grants to assist with needs they are unable to afford or for which they lack coverage. Cancer patients who live, work or receive treatment in Beaufort County are eligible to apply for grants. Contact outreach@dragonboatbeaufort.org for more information. The DragonBoat Beaufort Fund is housed at the Community Foundation of the Lowcountry, a 501(c)3 organization. DragonBoat organizers received a $5,000 donation recently. Photo provided.
Chambers to headline musical storytelling Jazz saxophonist Thom Chambers will headline the second “Notes: An Evening of Musical Storytelling & Casual Conversation” to benefit the Boys & Girls Club of Northern Beaufort County. This event will be held at 6 p.m. Friday, Jan. 12, at Tabby Place in downtown Beaufort. The first Notes event in 2016 set a very high bar – showcasing Frank Almond and his Lipinski Stradivarius – and the organizers said they “are delighted to follow that success with a musical guest of equal caliber who might just be Beaufort’s best-kept secret,” according to a press relese. “You may have seen him jamming with neighbors at Maggie’s Pub in Habersham, or entertaining a late dinner crowd at Panini’s or Wined It Up downtown,” the release states. “You knew Beaufort was lucky to have a local who could blow a horn like that. But what you might not

know is that Thom Chambers is a much sought after world-class jazz musician who plays all the big venues – from Hilton Head’s own celebrated Jazz Corner to the Montreaux Jazz Festival in Switzerland.” According to his website, Chambers is equal parts musician and entertainer: “He combines the two capabilities so seamlessly that –
like the chicken or the egg – you wonder which came first, the entertainer or the musician.” Media reviews echo similar sentiments, commenting on Chambers’ "captivating, entertaining showmanship," and using phrases like "great musicianship” and “crowd-pleasing" to describe his on-stage persona. “Chambers' class and clarity, elegance and intelligence, make a definitive mark on listeners before blending like spice into a Latin beat, a jazz standard, or one of his signature tunes – like Chet Baker's ‘My Funny Valentine,’ which Chambers made his own before renaming it ‘My Funky Valentine,’” the release states. “Whether he's performing original material, traditional jazz or jazz standards, Thom's understanding, enjoyment and appreciation of music energizes every show.” He has performed with Miami Sound Machine, and opened for Earth, Wind and Fire, Chris Bot-

ti, Gregg Karukus and NBA starturned musician Wayman Tisdale. He was well known as co-founder, and on-stage leader of the former jazz group Indigo City. “In keeping with the original event, this year’s Notes won’t be a stuffy concert in a hushed auditorium; it will be a fun, casual party with great music and conversation,” according to the release. Event coordinator Jodie Miller of Plum Productions says Tabby Place will have a “jazz clubby feel.” Saltus River Grill will serve up food and the cocktails will flow. There’s an art auction in the works, featuring donated pieces by several of Beaufort’s finest artists offering their interpretations of “jazz” in a variety of media, and Amiri Farris will be on the scene creating one of his “live action paintings.” Student art will be on display as well. Honorary Chairs for Notes 2018 are Joe and Lin Mix.
“Joe was instrumental in founding the Boys Club of Greater Beaufort (now the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Lowcountry) in Beaufort in 1985 and has been our most ardent supporter since then,” said board member Michael Gonzalez. “A past national trustee for the Boys & Girls Clubs of America and a member of Boys & Girls Clubs of America Jeremiah Milbank Society, his generosity and passion for our cause have been unsurpassed in this community. The thousands of kids whose lives have been touched by the services of our clubs have Joe to thank. Without him, we would simply not exist.” Sponsorships and group packages are available, and seating is limited. Tickets are $75. For sponsorship information or to purchase tickets, call the Boys & Girls Club office at 843-379-5430 or email alittlejohn@bgclowcountry.org.

In memory of loved ones At the inaugural Shine On event, nearly two dozen luminaries were lit at Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park on Nov. 28. Megan Radcliffe said this event was held to celebrate National Hospice and Palliative Care Month. Palliative care is a higher level of care for patients undergoing aggressive treatment, but not at the hospice level. Here, Radcliffe and Nina McKinnon make sure the battery-powered luminary bags are functioning properly during the event. Photo by Bob Sofaly.

Sometimes the world needs admirers
There was a woman ahead of me in the hallway at our local community center the other morning. She was walking slowly and then stopping. It was then I realized she was looking at the display of Christmas quilts made by the local quilting club. I walked up next to her and we both started to comment on the beauty of each of the quilts. There were wreaths and placemats, large bed quilts and throws. They were extraordinary, each with a colorful Christmas theme designed by the quilter. As we stood there, “ooohhhing” and “aahhing” the assortment of quilt hangings, I said to her, “I love to look at these, but I really do not have the desire to learn to do it myself.” “Oh well,” she responded. “The world needs admirers. And we are admirers.” I was struck by her comment because it is so true. The world is full of various art-
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.
ists: photographers, painters and designers, talented individuals who entertain us with their work. There are so many things I marvel at, but have no earthly interest to do, like playing a musical instrument. My spouse performed in an orchestra when he was in high school. He loved to play an instrument and enjoyed learning the music. I, on the other hand, just wanted to sit in the audience and listen. I find so much joy in closing my eyes and
hearing piano and violin duets in concert. And yet, I never took lessons as a child even though both my parents played the piano and loved to sing along. This admiration theme also reminds me of an event I attended recently. The garden club I belong to set up a festive luminary night in our community. The small buildings were decorated with greenery and wrapped with white lights. The tables were beautifully covered with pine cones, holly
and candles. A local choir from Bethesda Christian Church sang. It was spectacular. I sat there that night listening to the music, admiring the decorations put together by my friends, Nancy and Cindy (along with a bunch of their elves) and eating homemade biscuits and brownies, and I recalled how much I had admired everything the volunteers had contributed. Although there were numerous kudos to the organizers after the event ended, I think they were pleased just to see people like me enjoying themselves that night. Now I understand what my friend Roberta was saying in the community center that morning. There is nothing wrong with being one of those people who sits back and admires. We cannot all be singers, bakers, creative designers or quilters. And as she reminded me, “The world needs admirers.”
State’s judicial screening process worked By Jay Bender
Something remarkable happened in South Carolina legal and political circles on Dec. 5. A sitting circuit judge running unopposed for reelection withdrew her candidacy before the Judicial Screening Commission. News reports have focused on the unfavorable comments made by lawyers regarding Judge Kristi Harrington in an anonymous survey. The surveys revealed that many lawyers who had appeared before this judge thought she was unqualified by temperament to serve. Those survey results were not the only speed bump in Judge Harrington’s path. Personal interviews of lawyers in the Charleston area by the South Carolina Bar revealed dissatisfaction consistent with the anonymous surveys. Ultimately, it appears that Judge Harrington withdrew when it became clear that she had violated state law by contacting
members of the General Assembly prior to the completion of the judicial screening process. One news report noted that the screening commission members are all male. We have many strong and Jay Bender talented women judges in South Carolina, and, in my view, the composition of the commission had nothing to do with the assessment of Judge Harrington’s qualifications. I have been trying cases all over South Carolina since 1975. No judge, male or female, ever treated me as rudely and unprofessionally as Judge Harrington did when I appeared before her in Charleston earlier this year. I was in court to represent The Post and Courier in a suit against the City of Charleston. I arrived at the courtroom well before the scheduled start of the hearing. I did not

know Judge Harrington, and wanted to introduce myself to her. The court was not in session when I arrived. Judge Harrington was on the bench and a small group of recent law school graduates was in the jury box to observe court proceedings as part of the process by which they become eligible to appear in court. In the Charleston courthouse the spectator area is separated from the well of the court by a knee-high wall with small swinging doors for passage. When I entered the well of the court, the swinging door swung back and forth with a clunking sound. Judge Harrington said, “You must not come here very often.” I chose not to reply. As I moved toward the bench Judge Harrington said, “You need to ask to approach the bench. Had you been next door in General Sessions (criminal) you would have been locked up.” No judge I have appeared before has ever insisted that a lawyer ask permission to approach the bench whether during trial, a hearing or a recess. Maybe they do it that way on television, but that has not been the way we do it in South Carolina. I continued toward the judge’s bench and set my briefcase on an unoccupied desk placed perpendicular to the judge’s bench. Judge Harrington said, “Mr. Bender, you need to ask permission before you set anything on someone’s desk.” I bit my tongue. As I was trying to introduce myself Judge Harrington and I were speaking at the same time. Judge Harrington said, “I just told these students to never interrupt a judge.”
Judge Harrington then said, “Mr. Bender, you are creating a bad example for these law students in many areas today.” I thought to myself that these law students were going to leave that courtroom with a skewed view of how judges in South Carolina conduct themselves. I picked up my briefcase and went back to the spectator area until my case was called for hearing. You might ask why I didn’t testify against Judge Harrington at the screening hearing. I was prepared to do so, and had completed an affidavit recounting the events outlined above. Then, I thought about the situation. Here is a sitting judge running unopposed for reelection. When I retire and ride into the sunset, I won’t worry about Judge Harrington, but the odds were that she was going to be reelected and might seek revenge against my clients and partners. It would be nice to pretend that this doesn’t happen, but it has happened in South Carolina with judges who are no longer sitting. Had I been subpoenaed to testify, I would have done so, but unfortunately, the screening commission had no way of knowing what I would say. Should I have had more courage and spoken up? Probably. Judges in South Carolina are elected by the General Assembly. The process always involves politics, but over the past several years steps have been taken to incorporate merit based evaluations of judicial candidates, hence the Screening Commission. The process will never be free of politics, but in this instance it worked. Bender is a media attorney practicing in Columbia.
