Beaufort Academy hires Clifford as new football coach

Mark Clifford

Beaufort High School football coach Mark Clifford announced last week that he will become the new head football coach at Beaufort Academy.

Clifford had a successful record leading the football program at Beaufort High for the past 14 seasons.

Beaufort Academy Athletic Director Neal McCarty stated, “Coach Clifford

brings a wealth of football knowledge and experience to our football program.

His passion, enthusiasm for the game and work ethic is contagious. Our student-athletes are fortunate to have him as their head coach.”

“In searching for a new leader for the football program, we were looking for someone who would help us reach high-

er levels of excellence in all aspects of being a student-athlete,” McCarty said.

“I believe we found a leader with the experience, knowledge and personality to grow our program and help produce well-rounded student-athletes who are successful both on and off the field.”

Coach Clifford said, “I am fired up about the opportunity to create a

consistent winner with the BA football program. Dr. Durbin and I did it before, and there is a good chance we could do it again!”

Dr. Dan Durbin, headmaster at Beaufort Academy, was the former principal at Beaufort High.

Clifford will start with BA when the 2018 football season kicks off in August.

New urgent care clinic opens in Beaufort

Beaufort Memorial Hospital opens new Express Care & Occupational Health Clinic

To speed up care for patients suffering from acute, nonlife-threatening medical issues, Beaufort Memorial Hospital (BMH) has opened a new urgent care clinic at 974 Ribaut Rd. Beaufort Memorial Express Care & Occupational Health also will serve employees of businesses participating in the hospital’s new Well at Work, a comprehensive wellness program designed to cover everything from pre-employment physicals to workplace injuries.

The clinic initially will be staffed by Dr. Dan Smith, a board-certified family medicine specialist with more than 14 years’ experience, and board-certified physician assistant Cameron Price. Prior to the launch of the clinic, Smith had been practicing at Beaufort Memorial Lowcountry Medical Group for the last three years. During his career, he has served as an ER and urgent care physician at several hospitals, most recently at Hampton Regional Medical Center.

Open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, the clinic offers medical care for a wide range of minor ailments

Cameron Price, PA-C, and Dan Smith, DO

and injuries, including the flu, strep throat, sprains and strains, urinary tract infections, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration and lacerations. Operating hours will expand as the need for services increases.

“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 will support our primary care practices, easing the demand for same-day appointments and decreasing unnecessary visits to the ER.” In addition, companies enrolled in the Well at Work program will be 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 employee physical exams, drug and alcohol testing and biometric screenings, including cholesterol and blood pressure tests.

“We plan to grow the facility based on the needs of the community,” Barber said. “We’ll expand our hours of operation and add support staff as demand increases for services.”

Beaufort Memorial Express Care & Occupational Health accepts most insurance, as well as cash and credit cards. For more information, call (843) 524-3344.

Eleven ways to help stay sane in a crazy market

Remember that while they're sound strategies, diversification, asset allocation, and dollar cost averaging can't guarantee a profit or eliminate the possibility of loss.

QUEEN Bed in Box THEIRS: Q-Casper $950 Q-Leesa $840

OURS: Q-Utopia $599

Keeping your cool can be hard to do when the market goes on one of its periodic roller-coaster rides. Here are 11 ways to help keep yourself from making hasty decisions that could have a longterm impact on your ability to achieve your financial goals.

1. Have a game plan Having predetermined guidelines that recognize the potential for turbulent times can help prevent emotion from dictating your decisions. For example, you might take a core-and-satellite approach, combining the use of buy-and-hold principles for the bulk of your portfolio with tactical investing based on a shorter-term market outlook. You also can use diversification to try to offset the risks of certain holdings with those of others. Diversification may not ensure a profit or guarantee against a loss, but it can help you understand and balance your risk in advance.

And if you're an active investor, a trading discipline can help you stick to a longterm strategy.

2. Know what you own and why you own it When the market goes off the tracks, knowing why you originally made a specific investment can help you evaluate whether your reasons still hold, regardless of what the overall market is doing.

3. Remember that everything is relative Most of the variance in the returns of different portfolios can generally be attributed to their asset allocations. If you've got a well-diversified portfolio that includes multiple asset classes, it could be useful to compare its overall performance to relevant benchmarks. If you find that your investments are performing in line with those benchmarks, that realization might help you feel better about your overall strategy.

4. Tell yourself that this too shall pass The financial markets are historically cyclical. Even if you're considering changes, a volatile market can be an inopportune time to turn your portfolio inside

out. A well-thoughtout asset allocation is still the basis of good investment planning.

5. Be willing to learn from your mistakes Anyone can look good during bull marHall Sumner kets; smart investors are produced by the inevitable rough patches. If an earlier choice now seems rash, sometimes the best strategy is to take a tax loss, learn from the experience, and apply the lesson to future decisions.

Expert help can prepare you and your portfolio to both weather and take advantage of the market's ups and downs.

6. Consider playing defense During volatile periods in the stock market, many investors reexamine their allocation to such defensive sectors as consumer staples or utilities.

7. Stay on course by continuing to save Even if the value of your holdings fluctuates, regularly adding to an account designed for a long-term goal may cushion the emotional impact of market swings. If losses are offset even in part by new savings, your bottom-line number might not be quite so discouraging.

8. Use cash to help manage your mind-set Cash can be the financial equivalent of taking deep breaths to relax. It can enhance your ability to make thoughtful decisions instead of impulsive ones. Having a cash cushion coupled with a disciplined investing strategy can change your perspective on market volatility.

9. Remember your road map Solid asset allocation is the basis of sound investing. One of the reasons a diversified portfolio is so important is that strong performance of some investments may help offset poor performance by others. Make sure your asset allocation is appropriate before making drastic changes.

10. Look in the rear-view mirror If you're investing long term, some-

times it helps to take a look back and see how far you've come. If your portfolio is down this year, it can be easy to forget any progress you may already have made over the years. With stocks, it's important to remember that having an investing strategy is only half the battle; the other half is being able to stick to it.

11. Take it easy If you feel you need to make changes in your portfolio, there are ways to do so short of a total makeover. You could test the waters by redirecting a small percentage of one asset class to another. You could put any new money into investments you feel are well-positioned for the future, but leave the rest as is. You could set a stop-loss order to prevent an investment from falling below a certain level, or have an informal threshold below which you will not allow an investment to fall before selling. Taking gradual steps is one way to spread your risk over time, as well as over a variety of asset classes.

Rep. Mark Sanford opposes offshore drilling at a rally at the Statehouse last week.

Last Tuesday, Feb. 13, Congressman Mark Sanford spoke at a rally opposing offshore drilling at the South Carolina Statehouse in Columbia.

He released the following statement: “Those local voices that joined me today understand the unique look and feel of South Carolina’s coastline. They know the importance of tourism as an economic driver for our state. And they join every single coastal municipality in South Carolina in coming out against drilling off our coast.

“It was these issues that Secretary Zinke said informed the administration’s decision to exempt Florida from any offshore drilling plans through 2024. To not give South Carolina the same consideration would be inconsistent at best - and politics as usual at worst.

“Accordingly, a simple thank you to all of today’s participants who are uniting on this issue to send a compelling message to Washington. And a thank you to all the local leaders, businesses, and organizations who have dedicated their voices, time, and resources to this as well. If local input truly matters here, then it seems obvious that South Carolina’s exemption should be forthcoming.”

The same day, the Bureau of Ocean and Land Management (BOEM) was holding a public meeting in Columbia on the administration’s proposal to open nearly 90% of U.S. federal waters to offshore drilling activities,

including off South Carolina’s coast. This meeting is part of a 60-day public comment period on the recently released draft five-year program (2019-2024) for oil and gas development on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS).

The draft plan includes 47 potential lease sales - the largest number ever proposed.

The public has until March 9 to comment on the draft proposed program, which is the first of two opportunities for public comment on the plan. Visit www.boem.gov/National-Program-Comment to submit a comment.

Sanford’s Actions in Opposition to Offshore Drilling: He Introduced the Coastal Economies Protection Act to place a 10-year moratorium on oil and gas exploration in the Atlantic, a bill that is supported by a Coalition of over 60 groups.

POSITIONS OPEN Apply for internships with Rep. Sanford’s office

Representative Mark Sanford's office is now accepting internship applications for spring and summer 2018. The internship program offers undergraduate students practical experience in constituent service, public policy, and the legislative process.

Bluffton searches for CEO of Don Ryan Center For Innovation

The Town of Bluffton is accepting applications for the chief executive officer (CEO) of the Don Ryan Center for Innovation (DRCI), the town’s non-profit economic development organization. Following the resignation of the center’s former CEO, David Nelems, Town Manager Marc Orlando appointed Trent Williamson as interim CEO during this nationwide talent search.

PEOPLE TWO GENERATIONS OF AMERICAN MUSIC

A.J. Croce brings soulful show to Beaufort

By Pamela Brownstein

A.J. Croce, son of the late musician Jim Croce, will be performing “Two Generations of American Music” at the USCB Center for the Arts in Beaufort on Saturday, March 3.

At this very special show, A.J. and his band will play some of his dad's best known songs, songs that influenced them both and his own work.

“It stays fresh, stays fun,” Croce said of the show. “It’s really enjoyable.”

With an ensemble that includes electric and acoustic guitar, bass guitar, and piano, audiences should expect an upbeat, energetic stage presence. Croce, a Nashville-based musician who has toured with legends such as B.B. King and James Brown, said, “We’ve got a great group of musicians, and it’s critical to have the entertainment factor.”

“It’s going to be a fantastic show and everyone, young or old, will enjoy A.J.’s incredible talent,” said Center for the Arts Director Bonnie Hargrove.

A.J. (short for Adrian James) Croce started touring and performing when he was 18.

“I had known what I wanted to do for all my life,” he said.

Now at age 46, Croce has been featured on The Late Show, The Tonight Show, The Today Show, CNN, MTV, and VH1. His nine albums have been released by both major and independent labels and he has had 17 singles on the Top 20 charts.

He has touched many genres of music during his career — blues, jazz, Americana — but his sound can best be described as “soulful music of all varieties. Soulful means heartfelt, there’s no questioning the sincerity of the songwriting,” Croce said. “I’m not trying to play old music, but I want to pay respect for what came before.”

Throughout his career, people expected A.J. Croce to play his father’s songs, but he never did, until he came up with the idea for this show — a little bit of his dad, a little bit of his own work, and a little bit of the blues.

“It would be more interesting to me to be able to play music that influenced both of us,” A.J.

Croce said. “Like the old blues, stuff that we both love.”

On his most recent album, Just Like Medicine, which was released last August, Croce was able to collaborate with many artists, including Grammy award-winning singer Vince Gill, Steve Cropper, David Hood and the McCrary Sisters. He said initially he wrote a song with Dan Penn, a longtime writer and producer from Muscle Shoals.

But after listening to the song, Croce realized it might be the beginning of an album, and from there he worked with many talented musicians to create a contemporary collection

of songs that have distinct roots in blues and an old school sound. The album even features an unreleased track that was written by his dad, called “Name of the Game.”

Anyone with any reverence for classic rock and roll will recognize Jim Croce’s songs such as “Operator,” “I’ve Got A Name,” and “Bad, Bad Leroy Brown,” which reached the number one spot on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Chart in July 1973. Tragically, two months later, Jim Croce died in a plane crash, when A.J. was only 2 years old.

“A lot of people don’t realize his whole career was recorded in 18 months,” A.J. said

about his father’s brief, but enduring, body of work.

He added, “When it comes to lyrics, you can’t get more honest or soulful than my dad.”

Port Royal woman awarded for hard work Tanya Weller recognized for contributions at Helena Place senior living facility

Enlivant, a leading provider of assisted living communities, recently announced Tanya Weller as a recipient of its 2017 MissionVision-Values (MVV) Award.

Weller was one of three winners selected from Enlivant’s more than 7,000 employees nationwide.

As a housekeeper at Helena Place in Port Royal, evacuating residents during a hurricane is not in Weller’s job description, but that didn’t stop her from volunteering when Hurricane Harvey hit South Carolina last year. It’s just one of the many ways she goes above and beyond at Helena Place.

In addition to caring for residents, Weller often spends her break time

taking residents’ pets on walks.

Her can-do attitude has secured her the title of “the woman that can do anything” by residents.

“Tanya truly exemplifies what it means to be a team player and she is all about the residents” said Lorie Kesler, Executive Director, Helena Place. “She has a wonderful relationship with all of our residents and many of her coworkers admire her work ethic and ability to bond with the residents.”

As the daughter of a Marine, Weller often found herself relocating when her father received new orders. In 2011, the family was stationed in Beaufort, her father retired from the military and

they decided to make this their permanent home. Weller graduated in 2015 from Whale Branch Early College High School where she earned college credit while attending high school. She then began work with the local Vocational Rehab after graduation and shortly after was hired at Helena Place through the program.

Weller is the oldest of three children in her family, and assists her mother in caring for her two younger sisters, one of whom suffers from cerebral palsy and the other from an autoimmune disease. Weller herself has a learning disability called auditory dyslexia after suffering a traumatic brain

Bill Brady of Port Royal stood on the approach lane Monday, Feb. 12 at Station 300 looking at all 10 pins as a substitute bowler during league play in Bluffton.

It was the eighth frame and he had all strikes. It was week before his birthday.

“I thought it would be a great birthday present to myself if I bowled a perfect 300. I bowled another strike into the ninth frame and thought this might be the day,” Brady recalled.

A better than average bowler, Brady had bowled three perfect games in the past during tournaments. But this was league play, it was different.

He let loose the first ball of the tenth frame and it too was a strike. “I started getting nervous. My knees were starting to shake a little,” he said. “The ball came in a little light and threw pins all over the place but they all went down.”

“My eleventh strike went perfect and the pins exploded.”

“Then I’m standing there ready to bowl my

twelfth strike and I thought to myself ‘here I go again.’”

Brady said his biggest fear was rolling a gutter ball. “Not shooting a gutter ball was I could think about.”

To clear his mind, he went over all the details. “I started going over all the fundamentals. I didn’t want the ball to go too far right so I tugged it just a little bit when I released it. It was a perfect strike,” Brady said with a broad smile.

Suddenly, there were hi-fives all around and strangers were congratulating him. “It was exciting,” he said. “I have to admit, it was pretty cool.”

“I’ve been league bowling for more than 40 years and have come close lots of times,” Brady said. He’s even had a couple 299s but never the perfect 300 in league play.

Brady said there is no great secret to bowling a perfect game. “The key is getting involved in a league where you can learn from other people and practice — a lot — and just have fun,” he said.

Young Leaders of Beaufort visit Bayview Manor

By Kat Walsh and Andres Rivero-Martinez

On Tuesday, January 30, the Young Leaders of Beaufort visited the residents of Bayview Manor, a skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility in Beaufort. Andres Rivero-Martinez, a student at Bolden Middle School and member of the Young Leaders, wrote the following summary of the group’s visit: “We met the most wonderful people, who also happen to live at Bayview Manor, and experienced what kindness and creativity really feels like. The residents told us about their daily lives at as well as what they did in their lives prior to Bayview. Some of them experience speech and physical disabilities, so the Young Leaders of Beaufort helped them in any way we could.

We assisted them by pushing their wheelchairs and even helped them paint pictures … amazing masterpieces that will soon be hung on the walls of Bayview Manor. An artist in residence helped prepare the canvases for us and assisted during the painting class. After enjoying lunch with the residents we played Bingo

before leaving for the day. The admissions director, Mrs. Susie Siegel, mentioned that anyone of us would be welcome to return as a volunteer. We’d like to thank Ms. Weezy Alcott, the artist in residence, as well as Julia Sanford for guiding us through the activity and Agape Hospice for donating all the art supplies to make this great activity happen. Our visit to Bayview Manor was awesome.”

The Young Leaders of Beaufort is a program designed to foster community and civic leadership in middle school students from Beaufort Academy, Lady’s Island Middle, Beaufort Middle, Whale Branch, Robert Smalls International Academy, Bridges, Riverview, Bolden, and Lowcountry Montessori. Working together, students develop problem-solving skills as they experience the dif-

ferent facets of Beaufort’s judicial system, parks, municipal government, and military presence. The goal is to foster civic leadership by helping students understand the

government entities that manage our community.

The group’s next field trip will be on February 28th to the Reconstruction Era Monument.

Annual Meeting celebrates a successful 2017 On Thursday, February 15, 2018 the Wardle Family YMCA welcomed members and guests to their Annual Meeting, which recognized volunteers, donors and staff who helped advance the Y’s cause to strengthen the foundation of our community.

The Y celebrated the positive impact made through Y programs and services as $350,000 in scholarship funds were raised and distributed in 2017. This assistance helped thousands of youth and families through YMCA membership, sports, summer camps, childcare, preschool, youth boating and swimming lessons. The annual Boots & Bling Fundraiser and Silent Auction raised over $48,000 for the annual Y capital campaign.

The meeting was presided over by incoming YMCA Board Chair, Jennifer Tuckwiller, and Y CEO, Michael Bostwick. The Y celebrated the many programs, services and opportunities they provide and, most importantly, gave thanks to the volunteers that truly bring magic to the non-profit.

The Y welcomed four new board members: Dr. N’kia Campbell, Director of Academic Initiatives for Beaufort County School District; retired educator Andy Thacker, State Farm insurance agent Taylor Malphrus; Chris Bowman, branch manager at South State Bank. Outgoing board members, Dr. Gregory McCord and Cheryl Comes were B2

thanked for their many years of service to the Y. Also, Bostwick recognized past board member Peter Post, who was inducted into the National YMCA Hall of Fame.

Kaylin Garst, Y Branch Executive Director of the Wardle Family YMCA reported on the improvements and changes made at the Wardle Family YMCA during 2017. These included refinishing the basketball gym floor, new pool heater and filter, new membership software, a new bus for childcare and imple-

mentation of a stoplight report for Y staff and members. YMCA senior-specific programming was highlighted by Wellness Director Denice Fanning, and Y member and volunteer Larry Schaefer reported via video on Togetherhood, the Y member-driven service committee.

During the Annual Meeting, two volunteers received special recognition for their service to the Y. Larry Schaefer received the 2017 Robert V. Wardle Service to Youth

Award. This award is given in honor of Robert V. Wardle, whose donations were significant in the founding and continued operation of the Beaufort-Jasper YMCA of the Lowcountry. Larry Schaefer has been the Togetherhood committee chair for the past 2 years and has been instrumental in leading this volunteer group in projects ranging from the Postal Carriers Food Drive benefiting HELP of Beaufort to building custom flower boxes for the Senior Center on St. Helena Island to building and installing a little lending library for the Y. In 2017 their volunteer hours exceeded 500 hours and included a fundraiser for the Y, raising $500 for our Learn to Swim Program.

Bethany Byrne was named the annual Youth Sports Volunteer Coach for 2017. Ms. Byrne has been a volunteer aquatics coach over the past several years volunteering her time to assist with the BYAC Tiger Sharks Swim Team and aquatics department.

Tuckwiller also reviewed the YMCA association name change to Beaufort-Jasper YMCA of the Lowcountry, which better communicates the Y’s original charter to serve both Beaufort and Jasper counties. She also announced that the YMCA now offers nationwide membership, which allows any active Y member to visit any participating Y in the USA, free of charge. beaufort-jasperymca.org

Holy Trinity's Athletic Director Josiah Tobin received the 2017 HSSR-SCISA Class A Girls' Cross Country Coach of the Year award.

Tobin continued, "I was immensely proud of the way our teams lived out our three goals: run fast, have fun, and give glory to God!”

VOICES

The secret on Ribaut Road My hairdresser, Kelly, and I have a special relationship. Not only does she give me a great haircut, but we chat and share stories about our families. Her two daughters are the ages of two of my granddaughters. It works out perfect at holidays when I am not sure what to buy them. Kelly always knows.

But, not too long ago, I had to cheat on her. I felt guilty, but she was out of town and I had one of those moments that said: “Cut hair! Now!” I think many women can appreciate this moment.

Someone had mentioned to me that there was a cosmetology program at the Technical College of the Lowcountry, or TCL. Surely, they had to practice on someone, why not me? I called in and the receptionist Jane said there was a cancellation for the next morning and I could come in. The beauty salon gods were watching over me.

I arrived promptly and as I was walking in, I met a very personable young woman named Reshia. After I checked in, I discovered Reshia would be doing my hair and I thought that was a lucky sign. She sat me in the chair and we dis-

While Reshia was cutting, we chatted about her family and what she did to keep busy. I told her about my life too.

There’s Got to Be More Than This!

We desire more than the world can give.

Tom Brady gave a famous interview in 2005.

There is joy in finding the desire of our hearts.

After winning his third Superbowl, the famous quarterback shared something surprising about his life. On 60 Minutes, he wondered aloud, “Why do I have three Superbowl rings, and still think there’s something greater out there for me? I mean, maybe a lot of people would say, ‘Hey man, you’ve reached your dream, your goal.’ Me, I think, there’s got to be more than this.”

Imagine how frustrating it would be if, desperate for a drink of water, every faucet we tried would only dribble a few drops of water into our glass. And imagine how overjoyed we would be to discover a waterfall, cold and pure, in which our glass could be filled to overflowing! This is the joy we experience as Christians as we stop trying to find fulfillment in the world alone, and instead begin to encounter God in a personal way.

Isn’t Tom’s experience like our own?

Like Tom, we can have everything that we imagine would make us happy, and yet we can feel, “Is this all there is?” There is a restlessness, a yearning, which still remains unsatisfied.

Whatever worldly goals we accomplish, whatever possessions we acquire, there is still something missing. As one author has pointed out, we can never get enough of what we don’t really need.

Our hearts are restless until they rest in God. We were created by God out of love, and our hearts were created to receive his infinite love. This is why even the love of a spouse cannot completely fill our hearts, because it is still a finite love.

But as we begin to encounter God, we encounter the one our hearts were longing for all along. As one early Christian famously observed, our hearts are restless until they rest in God. Why not try a different way?

Within yourself, do you recognize some of the same questions asked by Tom Brady? Many times, we drown out our uneasiness with constant noise and distraction. In quiet reflection, though, we can recognize the pattern of trying one broken faucet after another. Why not give God a chance to show that he is the one you have been searching for?
