Nonprofits and supporters from the Southern Lowcountry community gathered at an annual reception on Friday, February 12th to honor grantees at the Port Royal Sound Foundation’s Maritime Center. The reception brought together many guests, including Mayor Billy Keyserling of Beaufort, to celebrate the success of grantees from across the region.

“We are sincerely honored that The Beaufort Fund enables us to partner in some capacity with so many worthy organizations,” said Ali Titus, Program Officer at Coastal Community Foundation. “The collective impact of all of our 2015-16 grantees is an inspiring reminder of the power of community.

Who’s News Bridges Prep names new Head of School for 2016-2017 Primed to launch its high school program next school year with the ninth grade, Bridges Preparatory School is bringing aboard a Head of School with a decade of experience leading a high-performing high school in Maine and 20 years with a large private school in New Hampshire.

Dr. Nick Ithomitis will serve as Bridges Prep’s new Head of School effective July 1 – but he’ll be spending time at the Beaufort-based state charter school this spring to become familiar with the school and its staff.

Ithomitis, currently principal at Camden Hills Regional High School in Rockport, Maine, said his varied experiences in education have prepared him well to take Bridges Prep to the next level of achievement.

“I believe that the fundamental purpose of education is to help prepare students for success as productive adults,” he said. “As part of this

purpose, it is the school’s responsibility to pass on the cultural capital of America. It is also the school’s responsibility to help students acquire the Dr. Nick skills, knowledge Ithomitis and habits of mind to succeed in an increasingly complex and constantly changing world.”

He has been principal at Camden Hill Regional High since 2005.

Prior to that, he was principal and an assistant headmaster at Pinkerton Academy in Derry, New Hampshire, a private high school serving 3,300 students where he oversaw eight assistant principals and 15 department heads.

Dee Matthews, chair of the Bridges Prep Board of Directors said, “We are thrilled that Dr. Ithomitis will be our new Head of School at Bridges

Prep. He is exactly what we need to build upon our recent successes and help us grow into the high school program.”

“We couldn’t have gotten here without our interim Head of School, Dr. Bohnstengel whose dedication and drive has been a stabilizing influence and helped all of us truly understand what a great school we have here at Bridges.”

Ithomitis earned his doctorate in educational leadership in curriculum and instruction from the University of Massachusetts; his Master’s degree in education with an emphasis in school administration from Rivier College in Nashua, NH; and his bachelor’s degree in history with minors in education and sociology from Western State College in Gunnison, Colorado.

8TH ANNUAL BEAUFORT TWILIGHT RUN

The Lowcountry’s Running Festival poised for record turnout More than 2,600 participants and spectators from over 20 states are anticipated at the 8th Annual Beaufort Twilight Run (BTR) presented by Habersham Properties on Saturday, March 19 in the Habersham Marketplace with races and festivities from 3:30-9:30 p.m. The BTR’s mission is to host a fun, competitive and memorable annual event for Beaufort. In the past seven years, the BTR has raised more than $350,000 to benefit Riverview Charter School – a free public school open to Beaufort County K-8th grade students.

This year’s goal is to raise more than $70,000 to be used for the School’s technology, after-school and physical education programs.

The USATF-sanctioned running festival offers more race options than any other event in the Lowcountry – drawing both competitive runners and recreational participants alike. In addition to the BTR’s traditional 8K Run, 5K Run/Walk and Kids’ Fun Run, three new races have been added this year to enhance options for runners at all levels: a 1 Mile Youth Run, a 10 Mile Run and a bigger and better 13.1 Mile Beaufort Challenge (10 Mile + 5K Runs). This makes the BTR one of two events in South Carolina offering a 10 miler as well as providing a full half-marathon distance in Beaufort.

“As the BTR gets bigger it just keeps getting better,” said Evy Trask, Event Director for the BTR. “As a runner myself, I appreciate an event that is well organized with clearly marked courses and has a fun after party with great food and music.”

This family-friendly event is a draw not only for participants in the six races, but for spectators who are looking for an evening with live music and great food.

This year the BTR welcomes the band Broke Locals who are from Beaufort and specialize in “Southern

Fried Funk.” Throughout the afternoon and evening, a variety of delicious food and beverage options will be available from Habersham Marketplace restaurants, as well as over a dozen gourmet food trucks from all over the Lowcountry.

To celebrate the 8th Anniversary, the BTR’s total cash purse has increased to more than $6,000. Payouts will be awarded in the 13.1 Mile Beaufort Challenge, 10 Mile Run, 8K Run and 5K Run. Categories include the three overall male and female winners of each of those

races, as well as for the top male and female Masters (40+), Active Duty Military and Hometown Hero (a Beaufort County resident). In addition to cash prizes, age group winners will receive a local photograph for their accomplishment.

For online details about race registration and more visit www.BeaufortTwilightRun.com. Early registration discounts are available for all participants, as well as additional discounts for students, groups of ten or more and active duty military. Note: Rates go up March 1.

Memoir to be topic of Verdier House dinner Former lieutenant governor and past and present civic advocate W. Brantley Harvey, Jr. will bring over 65 years of memories of his life in Beaufort, the state of South Carolina, in the nation and abroad to the Verdier House, 801 Bay Street, Monday, February 22nd at 5:30 p.m.

He returned to the city after law school and over the years repaid the city and the state with public service.

HELP AVOID TAX-RELATED IDENTITY THEFT Warning signs: Potential fraud and scams Tax-related identify theft involves someone using a stolen Social Security number to file a tax return and claim a fraudulent refund. This is a small but growing occurrence, and if it happens to you, it can have a major impact on your financial life and delay payment of a tax refund on which you may have been depending.

How do you know if someone has obtained and is using your Social Security number in a tax-related identify theft? Here are some warning signs: • The IRS or your tax professional notifies you that more than one tax return has been filed for you based on your Social Security number.

• The IRS or your tax professional indicates that you owe additional tax, have a refund offset, or have had collection actions taken against you for a year you did not file a tax return.

• The IRS notifies you that you received more wages than you have indicated on your return and the wages are from an unknown employer. (Someone may have used your Social Security number to obtain a job, and those wages are now reported on your number.)

• Your state or federal benefits are reduced or cancelled because the paying agency received information reporting an income change.

In the past, some Katie C. Phifer unscrupulous tax preparers have directed client tax refunds into the tax preparer’s account. To help avoid this situation, beginning in 2015, the IRS will limit the number of direct deposit refunds to any one financial account or prepaid debit card to three.

For any subsequent valid refunds, the IRS will prepare a paper check and postal mail it to the taxpayer. This provision may affect larger families where parents and, perhaps, minor children would like to direct tax refunds into the same financial account, so plan accordingly.

What to do about tax-related identity theft If you suspect your personal information has been used fraudulently, take these steps as quickly as possible: • File a report with your local police department.

• File a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at consumer.ftc.gov.

Or call the FTC Identity Theft hotline at (877) 438-4338, TTY: (866) 653-4261.

• Contact one or all three of the major credit bureaus to place a fraud alert on your account: o Equifax: Equifax.com (800) 525-6285 o Experian: Experian.com (888) 397-374 o TransUnion: transunion.com (800) 680-7289 • Close any accounts you know have been tampered with, accessed, or opened fraudulently.

Further, if your Social Security number has been compromised and/or you suspect you may be a victim of tax-related identity theft, take these additional steps: • Respond immediately to any IRS notice you receive; typically there will be a number provided on the notice, which you should call as soon as possible.

• Complete IRS Form 14039, Identity Theft Affidavit. Use the fillable form available on irs.gov and mail or fax it to either the address or number provided in the instructions.

• Pay any taxes you owe and file your tax return. You may need to file your income tax return by paper rather than electronically.

If you previously contacted the IRS but still have no resolution, contact the

Identity Protection Specialized Unit at (800) 908-4490.

Be sure to record the dates on which you made phone calls or sent letters.

Keep copies of all correspondence (written or electronic) in a file for your records and protection.

Boundary Street speed limit drops, speeding fines increased in construction zone For the safety of workers who will be involved in the two-year improvements on a 1.2-mile stretch of Boundary Street, the speed limit is being reduced from 40 miles per hour to 35 mph effective Feb. 19.

As part of its efforts to improve safety during such projects, the S.C. Department of Transportation increases speeding fines to $200 and 30 days imprisonment

for conviction of speeding in work zones.

For the Boundary Street project, the zone is from Neil Road to Ribaut Road and includes some side streets.

When completed, US 21/Boundary Street will consist of two lanes in each direction separated by a raised and landscaped median with a sidewalk on the north shoulder and 10-foot multi-use path

on the south shoulder. The intersection of SC 170/ US 21 will be relocated and realigned following the recent demolition of the former Butler used car building.

First Street improvements will include two 11-foot travel lanes and eight-foot on-street parking on both sides of the road beginning at the newly aligned SC 170 intersection to Hogarth Road.

“The things written in the citation reflects one moment out of our seven months,” said Hervey. “During that deployment, when Marines needed help, they unhesitatingly went forward just like any of us here wearing this uniform would have done, regardless of life, or limb, or risk.”

Hervey demonstrated selfless dedication to his Marines and the mission as he engaged the enemy, secured the insurgent

withdrawal, and ensured the destruction of the enemy’s heavy weapons. He led his Marines and coordinated with his company headquarters to provide aerial support.

“This is the quality kind of leadership we want, setting the example when the chips are down and Marines need it most,” said Maj. Gen. Brian D. Beaudreault, commanding general of 2nd Marine Division.

A hero will not be found on a podium

By Cherimie Crane Weatherford

Most of my adult life has been fashioned around uninhibited speech and the predictable cringe from words best left unsaid. Defect or disorder, it is my curse, my signature and at my best, my charm. Having business interest, family obligations and the prerequisite to blend amongst what is currently accepted as civilization, my passionate opinion often suffocates underneath a societal blanket of belief. Occasionally whether it is wine, caffeine or exhaustion in its purest form, the restraints break free and unfiltered thought rages into words. More often than not, those words become new cause for me to avoid public encounter.

Clearly, speaking of politics, religion or true hair color is Taboo in my beloved South. Having had undesirable circumstance arrive from each, it behooves me to reserve discourse for socially welcomed subject matter. Unfortunately, behooving does little for my dogmatic disposition. I prefer to dodge disapproving glares rather than curtsy to the status quo.

Our town has been the latest aim of political convergence. Our salty breeze, our tempered trees

nor our gentile manner is able to stave off that which divides even the most common denominator. Men and women claiming commonalty, passion and cause speak in twisted tongue to an audience in search of a skilled captain to navigate pending storms. Crowds divide according to degree of assimilation to a suit filled with an immeasurable desire for power and affirmation.

Underneath the ceremonial chaos, the posturing and the playground popularity competition lays a country battered and bruised by those that claim its privilege. Seemingly our principles lost our focus dim. Fear of discrimination, fear of defeat and fear of offending outcries the fear of those fallen. History is

only allowed in modern day snippets on social media that has replaced social morality. Those begging for votes are but a reflection of those voting. They represent anger, self-righteousness, entitlement and an astonishing disconnect with the plight of our founding fathers. Our country needs our countrymen, those that wake with intent to contribute, to improve and to advocate not those that flourish from selfpromotion and mirrored acceptance. A hero will not be found on a podium.

The answer is not in those shouting their glory, their superiority or their net worth. No one man or one woman can save a country that has lost its way. No wall can keep out nor keep in the soul of a population. No law can create nor contain morality.

The answer rests in our history, in our perseverance, in our rise from the ashes of unseen battles. One man, one woman a country does not make. A return to basics, a return to pride and a return to the people is but my better unsaid opinion for a remedy to an unwell champion facing a ferocious battle to reclaim her title.

GET READY FOR THE GREEN ARMY

It is that time of year again. Those innocent little girls, dressed in cute green outfits with their badge adorned sashes come calling. You open the door knowing that your latest diet is soon to be sabotaged as they hand over the order form and ask, “How many?” Yes, it is Girl Scout Cookie time again! Each year, as I look over the form, I am amazed at how much the form has grown since I went out peddling Girl Scout Cookies as a young girl. Yes, you can still find the traditional cookies Thin Mints, Peanut Butter Patty/Tagalongs, Shortbread/Trefoils and of course the

Do-Si-Dos. But now there are so many more varieties to entice you. Of course, my response to her is the same as it is every year. “Ten boxes please.” Yes, there have been some years where I have resisted the urge to buy Girl Scout Cookies knowing I could go to the grocery store and buy similar cookies for less cost.

But for some reason, these cookies taste better.

The cookie sale is an annual fund raising activity for the Girl Scouts of America; an organization which I proudly wore my green beret. There was a time I walked my neighborhood going from house to house with my own cookie order form. I knew the people that would support me. They did not buy just one box; they bought ten sup-

porting me in this activity and also enjoying the cookies.

Now though, it is just me, the big guy and two dogs in my house. We really do not need these cookies.

Yet I find myself checking off the ten boxes of my favorite brands somehow paying forward to all those people who bought from me in the past. I try to hide a few boxes in the freezer right away, but somehow the first box of Thin Mints disappears in 24 hours.

Nowadays, you will also

find these Girl Scouts outside the local hardware and grocery stores with boxes of cookies ready for you to purchase immediately. Besides fund raising, they sell cookies for another reason. According to the Girl Scout official page they are learning five skills; goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics. So go ahead and buy some cookies and support this local organization and don’t forget to enjoy your Thin Mints!
