COVERING BEAUFORT COUNTY
Lady’s Island annexation all part of the master plan By Lisa Allen
It shouldn’t have come as a surprise that Beaufort City annexed 67 parcels on Lady’s Island last week. The City Council voted to absorb Secession Golf Club and its residential cottages. As allowed under state law, the city also took the opportunity to add parcels along Sea Island Parkway to smooth out city boundaries, including Butler Marine, the Fillin’ Station and Zippy Lube. They were in the
county while Grayco, Walgreens and Publix were in the city. Annexation is a central part of the Northern Beaufort County Regional Plan that dates back nearly 10 years. The regional plan, in effect, is a long-term divvying up of areas of growth in Northern Beaufort County. The county, the city and the towns of Port Royal and Yemassee decided the best course of action was to map out areas where growth
would be encouraged in order to protect rural and environmentally sensitive areas where they didn’t want growth. The growth areas would eventually become part of the municipalities while more rural uses would remain under county jurisdiction. The plan also had to work around the Air Installations Compatible Use Zones (AICUZ) surrounding Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort. Ever since the plan was adopted in Au-
gust 2007, whenever a property owner or developer in a growth area wants to “upzone,” meaning change a zoning up the scale away from a rural designation, they are encouraged to consider annexation, said Libby Anderson, planning director for the city of Beaufort. “If you’re in the growth area and you want to upzone, the county says you should annex See PLAN page A8
First Street open for business
Staff reports
First Street from Hogarth to Palmetto is now open for traffic after a major paving and sidewalk improvement project that is part of Beaufort’s Boundary Street corridor construction. Opening this loop provides residents and shoppers with access to both the traffic signal at Hogarth Street and Boundary as well as the new signal at Polk Street and Boundary beside Walgreens. The improvements include on-street parking and sidewalks. In coming months, First Street will be extended behind Chick-Fil-A to the new traffic signal at S.C. 170 and Boundary Street. First Street will cross Boundary and become Robert Smalls Parkway, also known as S.C. 170. Crews still have additional work to do on First Street, including a final paving course and re-striping of the roadway and parking, but opening it fully to residents and shoppers is an important part of the Boundary Street Improvement Project. The Boundary Street Improvement Project is just over 1 mile long and is a $32 million project jointly funded by the city, county, S.C. Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration. The work is on budget and on schedule for completion in early 2018. The project includes: • Realigning the intersection of S.C. 170 and Boundary Street to make it safer and to

help traffic flow more smoothly. • Retrofitting, re-investing and redeveloping neglected areas of the corridor. • Creating commercial/retail nodes. • Providing alternate ways for people to reach commercial/retail including bike and
walking paths, improving efficiency. • Expanding the Spanish Moss Trail in partnership with Beaufort County. Throughout the Boundary Street construction zone, speed limits are reduced to 35 mph and are enforced.
Drivers are urged to use extra caution as construction crews have been working on both sides of the road. For more information about the Boundary Street work, visit www.boundarystreetupdate.com.
Beaufort moves forward with cultural district plans Staff reports
The city of Beaufort is upping the ante in promoting and developing a cultural district. Carol Lauvray, president of the Beaufort History Museum, and Deborah Johnson have been added by the Beaufort City Council to round out its Cultural District Advisory Board. Johnson will be the city administration’s liaison. The advisory board’s vision is that by 2020 Beaufort’s downtown will be a recognized and valued cultural district, actively sought out and utilized by artists, mer-
chants, residents and tourists. This concentrated area of diverse cultural venues, activities, and experiences will energize economic growth and improve the quality of life for Beaufort’s community and visitors. Working together the board will seek to foster more support for the arts, and celebrate and strengthen local culture and the newly established cultural district. “It’s great that the Beaufort City Council tackled this final appointment early in the year, and now we are at full strength to approach our

POLICE BLOTTER Shooting incidents under investigation
There were two shooting incidents reported in Beaufort County recently and both are currently under investigation. The first incident was reported on the morning of Feb. 18 on Hilton Head Island. A man told the Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office that he was approached by an unknown man on a bicycle path near Southwood Park. He said the man demanded that he empty his pockets, and when he refused, the suspect shot at him. He was hit by one of the bullets and said he ran to the Hilton Head Regional Medical Center. Beaufort County Sheriff 's Office deputies and investigators responded, but said when he was interviewed that he “was less than cooperative and provided very little detail of the incident,” according to a sheriff ’s office report. The man was treated for gunshot wounds and later released from the hospital. The second shooting incident occurred just after 2 a.m. on Feb. 19 at a home on Eva Drive in Sheldon. Occupants of the residence reported they woke to the sound of gunshots and bullets striking their home. The three adults and an infant were not injured. Investigators interviewed victims, witnesses and processed the scene for forensic evidence. Multiple shell casings were located in the yard and driveway and were collected. Investigators said the home had been struck by at least 10 bullets during the incident. In addition, investigators said a few bullets struck a vehicle parked just outside the front door of the residence. The suspects have not been identified or located in either incident. Anyone with information on the Hilton Head Island incident is encouraged to call Cpl. Seth Reynells at 843255-3709. Those with information regarding the Sheldon incident are asked to call Sgt. Adam Draisen at 843-255-3409. To remain anonymous and to collect a possible reward, call CrimeStoppers at 1-888-CrimeSC.
One rescued from Gray’s Hill wreck
A female driver was rescued from a single-vehicle accident in the Gray’s Hill community on Bruce K Smalls Road just after 9 a.m. on Feb. 17. Fire crews arrived on the scene and found a pickup truck in a ditch with the female driver still trapped inside. One lane of Bruce K Smalls was closed for approximately 45 minutes while firefighters assisted the driver, who was removed from the vehicle and transported to Beaufort Memorial Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. A second Gray’s Hill motor vehicle accident occurred earlier in morning just before 7a.m. at the intersection of Bruce K Smalls and Trask Parkway. One female driver was transported to Beaufort Memorial Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. A2

Sheriff ’s office asks for help in solving crime
On Feb. 18, 1999, Elshawndrae Devon Jones, 22, and Toby Bing, 18, were reported missing after leaving the home of a relative to meet with a man named Sean Sullivan in Bluffton. An investigation revealed Jones was involved in narcotics dealing and may have been engaged in a transaction at the time of their disappearance. Investigators found that there was a crime scene on the front porch of Sullivan’s Hyon Road residence. An area with a large amount of dried blood was discovered under the porch and the siding of the mobile home and front porch showed recent cleaning with a bleach-type substance. The vehicle driven by Jones and Bing was discovered abandoned in Savannah, although video was not of quality to effectively identify the driver. DNA analysis of the blood discovered beneath Sullivan’s front porch matched Toby Bing. Charges were brought against Sullivan for the murder of Bing, but were dismissed in the interest of federal indictments and prosecution. It is believed and as evidenced by testimony in federal court that Sullivan and his associate, Kenneth Campbell, Devon Jones lured Jones and Bing to Sullivan’s remote Hyon Road residence in Bluffton on Feb. 18. Sheriff ’s office investigators believe Jones and Bing were murdered at the residence and their bodies disposed of. Jones DNA was not found at Sullivan’s residence, but it is believed he met the same fate. Sullivan and Campbell are currently serving heavy sentences in federal prison on narcotics-related offenses. A reward of up to $2,500 is offered for information leading to an arrest in any Beaufort County cold case. During some criminal investigations, investigators might exhaust all credible leads in a case. When this happens, the case can become stagnant or what is typically known as “cold.” The Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office is making these cold case files accessible to the public in hopes that someone might come forward with information that may not have yet been uncovered. No matter how insignificant it may seem, any information offered in reference to a cold case could prove to be the missing link needed to solve the case. Anyone with any information can contact Capt. Bob Bromage at 843-255- 3402, 843-
816-8013 or at robertb@bcgov.net. To remain anonymous and to collect a possible reward, call CrimeStoppers at 1-888-CrimeSC.

Consider income tax basis when estate planning
Income tax basis can be an important factor in deciding whether to make gifts during your lifetime or transfer property at your death. This is because the income tax basis for the person receiving the property depends on whether the transfer is by gift or at death. This, in turn, affects the amount of taxable gain subject to income tax when the person sells the property. Here are some questions, answers and examples: Q: What is income tax basis? A: Income tax basis is the base figure you use when determining whether you have recognized capital gain or loss on the sale of property for income tax purposes. When you purchase property, your basis is generally equal to the purchase price. However, there may be some adjustments made to basis. If you sell the property for more than your adjusted basis, you'll have a gain. Sell the property for less than your adjusted basis, and you'll have a loss. Example: You purchased stock for $25,000. Your basis in the stock is $25,000. If you sell the stock for more than $25,000, you would have gain. If you sell the stock for less than $25,000, you would have a loss. Q: What is the income tax basis for property you receive by gift? A: When you receive a gift, you generally take the same basis in the property that the person who gave you the property (the donor) had. (This is often referred to as a "carryover" or "transferred" basis.) The carried-over basis is increased - but not above fair market value (FMV) - by any gift tax paid that is attributable to appreciation in value of the gift (appreciation is equal to the excess of FMV over the donor's basis in the gift immediately before the gift). However, for purpose of determining loss on a subsequent sale, the carried-over basis cannot exceed the FMV of the property at the time of the gift. Example: Say your father gives you stock worth $1,000. He purchased the stock for $500. Assume the gift incurs no gift tax. Your basis in the stock, for purpose of determining gain on the sale of the stock, is $500. If you sold the stock for $1,000, you would have gain of $500 ($1,000 received minus $500 basis).
Now assume that the stock is worth only $200 at the time of the gift, and you sell it for $200. Your basis in the stock, for purpose of determining gain on the sale of the stock, is still $500; but your baHall Sumner sis for purpose of determining loss is $200. You do not pay tax on the sale of the stock. You do not recognize a loss either. In this case, your father could have sold the stock (and recognized the loss of $300 - his basis of $500 minus $200 received) and then transferred the sales proceeds to you as a gift. (You are not permitted to transfer losses.) Example: Assume your father gives you real estate worth $1 million. He purchased the land for $200,000. Assume your father paid gift tax of $400,000 on the transfer. Your basis in the land, for purpose of determining gain (or loss) on the sale of the land, is $520,000 [$200,000 + $400,000 x (($1,000,000 - $200,000) / $1,000,000)]. If you sold the land for more than $520,000, you would have gain. If you sold the land for less than $520,000, you would have a loss. Now assume your father gives you real estate worth $1 million but he purchased the land for $1.2 million. Assume your father paid gift tax of $400,000 on the transfer. Your basis in the land, for purpose of determining gain (or loss) on the sale of the land, is $1 million. In this case, your father could have sold the land (and recognized the loss of $200,000 his basis of $1,200,000 minus $1,000,000 received) and then transferred the sales proceeds to you as a gift. Q: What is the income tax basis for property you inherit? A: When you inherit property, you generally receive an initial basis in property equal to the property's FMV. The FMV is established on the date of death or, sometimes, on an alternate valuation date six months after death. This is often referred to as a "steppedup basis," since basis is typically stepped up to FMV. However, basis can also be "stepped down" to FMV. Example: Say your mother leaves you stock worth $1,000 at her death. She purchased the stock for $500. Your basis in the stock is
a stepped-up basis of $1,000. If you sold the stock for $1,000, you would have no gain ($1,000 received minus $1,000 basis). Now assume that the stock is worth only $200 at the time of your mother's death. Your basis in the stock is a stepped-down basis of $200. If you sold the stock for more than $200, you would have gain. Q: What about transfers within one year of death? A: If you transfer appreciated property to a person within one year of his or her death, and then you (or your spouse) receive the property back at that person's death, the basis in the property is not stepped up or down to FMV. Instead, the basis in the property is equal to that person's basis immediately before death. (And this basis is probably pretty close to the basis you originally had in the property before you transferred it.) This rule is designed to prevent you from obtaining a stepped-up basis by transferring appreciated property to a dying person who then transfers it back to you (or your spouse) at death. However, the rule does not apply if the dying person lives for more than one year after you transfer the property to him or her. Also, the rule does not apply if the property passes from the decedent to someone other than you or your spouse (e.g., to one of your children). In those cases, a stepped-up basis would be available. Q: What about income in respect of a decedent (IRD)? A: There is no step up (or step down) in basis for IRD. IRD is certain income that was not properly includable in taxable income for the year of the decedent's death or a prior year. In other words, it is income that has not yet been taxed. Examples of IRD include installment payments and retirement accounts. When you inherit IRD, you include the IRD in income as you receive payments, and take any related deductions. An income tax deduction may be available for any estate tax paid that's attributable to the IRD. Q: How does generation-skipping transfer (GST) tax affect basis? A: As discussed above, when you make a gift, the carried-over basis is increased - but not above FMV - by any gift tax paid that is attributable to appreciation in value of the gift. If the gift is also subject to GST tax, the
carried-over basis is then increased - but not above FMV - by any GST tax paid that is attributable to appreciation in value of the gift. Special rules can apply when property in a trust passes at the death of an individual. Q: Should you make a gift now or transfer at death? A: As the following example shows, income tax basis can be important when deciding whether to make gifts now or transfer property at your death. Example: You purchased land for $25,000. It is now worth $250,000. You give the property to your child (assume the gift incurs no gift tax), who then has a tax basis of $25,000. If your child sells the land for $250,000, your child would have taxable gain of $225,000 ($250,000 sales proceeds minus $25,000 basis). If, instead, you kept the land and transferred it to your child at your death when the land is worth $250,000, your child would have a tax basis of $250,000. If your child sells the land for $250,000, your child would have no taxable gain ($250,000 sales proceeds minus $250,000 basis). In addition to income tax basis, you might consider the following questions: • Will making gifts reduce your combined gift and estate taxes? For example, future appreciation on gifted property is removed from your gross estate for federal estate tax purposes. And gift tax paid on gifts made more than three years before your death is also removed from your gross estate. • Does the recipient need a gift now or can it wait? How long would a recipient have to wait until your death? • What are the marginal income tax rates of you and the recipient? • Do you have other property or cash that you could give? • Can you afford to make a gift now?

BUSINESS BRIEFS Sheldon Township gets visit from Leadership SC
Leadership South Carolina, a leadership development and civic engagement group, recently visited Sheldon Township for a three-day session focused on social issues and health topics. The class spent one of its days completely
immersed in Sheldon Township’s challenges and successes as a rural community in Beaufort County. The focal point of the workshop was the Sheldon Township Community Support Partnership, a grassroots group established two decades ago in 1997 to develop the Sheldon Township community. “We are pleased to have one of the state’s leading civic organizations here to join us in discussion and fellowship and to learn about our efforts here in the Sheldon Township,” said The Rev. James E. Moore of Mt. Carmel Baptist Church in Dale. “We’re small in number but our results are vast because our volunteers work with unwavering faith to find projects and resources to help our community to overcome educational, economic, social and health issues.” The partnership, made up of resident volunteers and no full-time staff, has brought more than $4.8 million into the community in the past two decades.
“It’s so important for all South Carolina leaders to understand how communities can help better themselves. Beaufort’s success in Sheldon Township demonstrates what can be done if they find common ground and work for the good of all. Clearly this shows the best of Beaufort and we were privileged to see this ‘Beloved Community’ up-close," said Helen Munnerlyn, executive director of Leadership South Carolina.

“Depending on how you've chosen to move — hired movers, rental truck, a portable container, or DIY in the back of your old Honda — your property may or may not be covered between the time it leaves your home and arrives at its final destination.”
Ov
We all know how stressful moving can be — there's a massive list of tasks to perform. So it's no surprise that making new insurance arrangements might not jump out as your first priority. But do yourself a favor: Don't wait. The process isn't as tough as it seems. Below are a few key questions to investigate about moving and transferring insurance. They don't cover everything, but they should get you going in the right direction. Have you talked to your agent? If you're happy with your insurance company, give your agent a call. Your agent should be able to tell you whether you'll need to find a new agent and how to transfer your policies to your new address. If you want to find a State Farm agent in your new neighborhood, you can use the Find an Agent app to search by ZIP code. You'll see a map of offices and a list of agent profiles, including contact info. What about new insurance? And transferring insurance? Talking with an agent is the best way to find out what you'll need to do to get new insurance or transfer your insurance to your new address. Your agent will also help you understand insurance requirements in your new location. If you're moving between states, keep in mind that insurance coverage varies across states. For example, in California, due to the high frequency of earthquakes, you need to take special precautions to make sure your home is safe and secure in case an earthquake occurs. That's not the case in Indiana! Different states also have different auto insurance laws, and if you're moving to a new state, you'll need a new auto insurance policy — plain and simple. Most state laws require you to have homeowner's insurance before you even buy a home. If you're covered by State Farm, you should be able to get a prorated credit from your old homeowner's policy when you're

signing up for a new one in a new state. Are your possessions covered while you're moving? Depending on how you've chosen to move — hired movers, rental truck, a portable container or DIY in the back of your old Honda — your property may or may not be covered between the time it leaves your home and arrives at its final destination. Some homeowner policies will cover your property everywhere, regardless of whether it's in your home or in a moving truck. Other policies won't cover anything once it's out your door. So double-check your policy or call your agent. If your own insurance policy won't cover your property, you can get coverage through your moving company. By federal law, moving companies have to offer supplemental insurance for your property that will cover a set percentage of replacement costs, but you'll need to increase that amount to get full coverage.

Two Beaufort Memorial Hospital nurses honored with DAISY Award

It’s not in their job description, but Beaufort Memorial Hospital nurses Samantha Coburn and Jennifer Hughes took on the role of event planners to cheer up a hospitalized Marine disappointed he wouldn’t be able to take his wife to the Marine Corps Ball. A hopeless romantic, Coburn conspired with her charge nurse, Hughes, to plan a special in-hospital affair for the couple to make up for the missed gala. The nurses-turned-party hostesses decorated the fifth floor waiting room and brought in food, flowers and bubbly non-alcoholic juice. They even set up a cell phone to provide music. For their tender gesture, each of the nurses was honored recently with a DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses, a national tribute reserved for RNs who go the extra mile to care for patients and their families. “It was the best and biggest surprise ever,” said Marine Staff Sgt. Stanley Santos, who nominated the two nurses for the prestigious award. “I cannot explain how happy that made me. My frustration from being stuck in a hospital turned to gratitude for all of the effort that was put into making my stay, and especially that day, a pleasurable one. I could
not have asked for a better experience.” Hospital administrators and coworkers gathered in the unit to surprise the two nurses with the award. They were given an engraved vase full of daisies and a hand-carved sculpture titled, “A Healer’s Touch”. 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. Earlier this year, Coburn and Hughes also were presented Vaux Humanitarian Awards. The prize is made possible through the Vaux Fund, set up to honor the memory of Ruthven Vaux, a longtime Bluffton resident and member of the Beaufort Memorial Hospital board. “Both of these nurses are passionate about their profession, and going the extra mile is the norm for them,” said Nancy Fu, the floor’s nursing director. “’I’m grateful to have them as part of a terrific team of caregivers who live our core values.”

Website focuses on Sea Island Parkway
The Sea Island Corridor Coalition has launched a new website to help residents of Lady’s Island and St. Helena monitor information on planning and development deliberations and decisions affecting the Sea Island Parkway. The website, www.seaislandcoalition.com, is designed as a central community resource, featuring a calendar showing major city and county planning and zoning meetings; links to key county, city and state websites and web resources; and current news on matters affecting the community including growth and development, zoning and annexation, traffic, tree and marsh preservation and political accountability. The site also hosts an “alert” function through which residents can notify the coalition of the first signs of re-zoning or development, or simply rumors that may signal new activity, and have their questions answered. Chuck Newton, a convener of the Sea Island Coalition, said, “Seaislandcoalition. com is designed to keep the community upto-date on local development matters, and help us gather new information, get people organized and advocate more effectively on behalf of Lady’s Island and St. Helena. “It’s the first time the community has had a tool like this to work with, and it opens up all kinds of interesting possibilities. “Without an aware public, and a mechanism such as this website to bring people together, city and county planning decisions will run right past us, with no opportunity for substantive input, as they did with Walmart, Oyster Bluff and with the explosion of traffic growth around the Sea Island Parkway/Sam’s Point Road intersection,” Newton said. The coalition, formed in early 2016 after a community outcry on the clear-cutting of Oyster Bluff, now boasts more than 400 members and is a frequent contributor to city and county deliberations on development and planning issues. In concert with the South Carolina Coastal Conservation League, the coalition is sponsoring a community forum, Designing A Future For Lady’s Island, on Thursday, Feb. 23, at Lady’s Island Elementary School. More than 200 are expected to attend. More information is available at coastalconservationleague.org/events.
The Peggy May Inspiration Award recognizes persons who demonstrate extraordinary dedication, passion and skills that influence and inspire local students. The award is named for former recipient, the late Peggy May, who served as county and state director of Adult Literacy, and board chair of the Foundation for Educational Excellence. Other previous recipients include 2013 American Idol Winner Candice Glover and Food Network contestant Orchid Palmieri, and Dr. Narendra Sharma, of The Neighborhood Outreach Connection. Since coming to the area in 1983, the Esquivel family has dedicated their lives to improving the lives of Latinos in the community while helping to educate non-Latinos on their culture. “Hector and his wife, Barbara, along with their children – Hector Jr., Eric and Margaret – demonstrate the values of hard work, a strong sense of culture, and a desire to always give back to the community,” according to a release. Hector Jr. is an immigration attorney who works to bridge legal gaps for local Hispanics. Eric is the publisher of La Isla Magazine, whose mission is to provide a Spanish-language magazine that connects the diverse Lowcountry Hispanic community. Margaret Esquivel helped Eric develop and grow La Isla Magazine into the publication it is today and continues to use her Spanish and cultural understanding of her Latino heritage on a daily basis. The Esquivels founded the Lowcountry Immigration Coalition, which has played a vital role in challenging immigration laws that discriminate against Hispanics and has helped to bridge the informational divide for immigrants. Tickets for the event are available now. For more information, visit FoundationEdExcellence.com or call 843-415-2331.

FROM THE FRONT
Plan
from page A1 to Port Royal or Beaufort City. An urbanized use should be in a municipality because the county doesn’t provide urban services,” Anderson said. Urban services include trash collection and a denser police and fire department presence. Under the regional plan, all of Lady’s Island to Chowan Creek and all of the islands out to Cat Island could eventually become part of the city of Beaufort. Port Royal’s limits could extend out to S.C. 170 to the Broad River Bridge. The recession stalled much annexation, but since 2014, traffic and development has been on a tear in Northern Beaufort County, particularly on Lady’s Island. There are approved plans for hundreds of more homes on the island, in addition to the 113 homes planned at Oyster Bluff and 55 homes in Tidewater Creek off of
Little Capers. To serve those residents, commercial buildings are going up, including a Waffle House and car wash on Sams Point and the controversial Walmart near the Lady’s Island Airport. Already the intersection of Lady’s Island Drive and Sea Island Parkway fails to meet the agreed-upon minimum traffic flow during rush hours, Anderson said. Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling said at a traffic study public meeting recently that the city required traffic studies from Publix, Harris Teeter and Walmart, but no one looked at them together. The city commissioned a traffic study that proposes alternate routes and more turn lanes, but no firm plan has been approved, nor a source of funding identified. Keeping the regional plan on task for the past 10 years has been the job of the Regional Plan Implementation Committee, which meets bimonthly. For example, it had to adjust the plan after noise zones in the AICUZ
were expanded by 4,000 acres in 2014 to accommodate the F-35s, thereby shrinking even further land that can be developed. The implementation committee recognizes that Lady’s Island is growing too much. It discussed at its latest meeting in January that the regional plan’s growth boundaries might be too broad, particularly on Lady’s Island. After a lengthy discussion, they voted only to encourage the county, city and Port Royal to revisit them. They acknowledged that changing them would require the county, city and Port Royal to all agree. The building boom has drawn concern from residents, particularly the watchdog group Sea Island Corridor Coalition. The coalition formed after 40 acres were clearcut for Oyster Bluff. Coalition leader Chuck Newton of Dataw Island said the city and county have to make it easier for residents to learn of pending development before it proceeds too far through approvals. “People don’t understand how much pow-
er planning staff has. A lot of these developments don’t require approval from the public bodies,” Newton said. “I would love the city to scan and post online any development seeking city approval as soon as it’s filed. Right now, it’s up to citizens to go ask if anything has been filed.” Newton said the city and county don’t say "no" often enough. He also said Lady’s Island doesn’t have much political clout, with only two votes on the Beaufort County Council and none on the Beaufort City Council. “None of our representatives live on Lady’s Island. They don’t see what we see on a daily basis.”

he living history encampment was one of the most popular events last year, attracting approximately 800 visitors.
Re-enactors to bring Civil War to life Staff reports
The Beaufort History Museum will present the second edition of its popular living history encampment from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, March 4, in the Arsenal courtyard. Union forces that occupied Beaufort during the Civil War after the Battle of Port Royal Sound (Nov. 7, 1861) will be brought to life by more than 20 re-enactors arriving from several states. They will stage an encampment in the walled courtyard space and provide a unique opportunity for visitors of all ages to interact with the soldiers, to participate as soldiers themselves and receive orders to join regiments, and to learn firsthand how life was lived in Beaufort during the Civil War. The encampment will offer a fascinating look at everyday life in Beaufort during that period, with re-enactors actually setting up camp in the Arsenal courtyard, staging cooking demonstrations and drills, and portraying soldiers and sutlers (merchants) who traveled through the region selling everyday goods. Re-enactors will interact with visitors at the event, talking about soldiers' life, the Port Royal Expedition, the Emancipation of African Americans and operations between Charleston and Savannah. Visitors will also have an opportunity to have their photos taken by Chris Morgan, a wet-plate photographer who produces antique-looking images. (There will be a fee for his services.) The museum is partnering with other Beaufort organizations, including the Beaufort County Library, to plan and conduct the weekend’s educational events. Admission is free and donations will be accepted. Two of the weekend’s events will take place at the Beaufort Branch Library at 311 Scott St., adjacent to the Arsenal: • 2-4 p.m. Friday, March 3: Stephen Wise, director of the Parris Island Museum, will present a lecture, “Beaufort in the Civil War.” He will be joined by Larry Rowland, distinguished professor emeritus of history at the University of South Carolina at Beaufort, and co-au-
thor with Wise of “Rebellion, Reconstruction, and Redemption, 1861-1893, The History of Beaufort County, South Carolina, Volume 2,” for a book signing after the lecture. Admission is free, however, space is limited and only those who have pre-registered on the museum’s website will be admitted. Reserve seats at www.beauforthistorymuseum.com. • 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday, March 4: Re-enactor David Smoot, portraying a Union Army physician, will conduct talks at the library about medical treatment during the Civil War. “The living history encampment was one of our most popular events last year, attracting approximately 800 visitors,” said Carol Lauvray, president of the BHM board of directors. “It is educational and entertaining, providing a chance for people of all ages to get a real sense of everyday life in Beaufort during the Civil War years. We are very grateful to encampment organizer, Daniel Gidick of Charleston, to the other re-enactors, and to our partner, the Beaufort County Library, for all of their efforts to make this remarkable event available to the public.” The Beaufort History Museum has evolved to focus specifically on the history of the Beaufort District. It strives to manage and display artifacts and documents held by the city of Beaufort, telling the compelling stories of this area from the early 16th century until modern times. Docent classes are conducted on an ongoing basis. The Arsenal address is 713 Craven St. Normal BHM hours of operation are from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Docents are on duty to provide information and conduct tours. A donation of $7 per visitor ($6 for seniors) is required. Children and active military are admitted free of charge. Visit www.beauforthistorymuseum.com or the BHM Facebook page for updates and news from the museum. For information on becoming a docent or volunteer greeter, contact Lorrie Burleyknoles at lburleyknoles@beauforthistorymuseum.com or at 559-362-3237.

VOICES
Deer, squirrels of Lowcountry are messing with us A friend of mine named Cindy recently sent out an e-mail to a group of neighbors. It read “Met a deer last night and the deer won. Any recommendations for quick car surgery?” I had to laugh, although hitting a deer is not a laughing matter, because her e-mail struck a chord with me. How many deer have I almost hit, or have almost collided into me in the past three years? And it is not just the deer pursuing me. My true nemeses are the squirrels. I call them the Kamikaze Squirrels of the Lowcountry. These squirrels play “chicken” in the road with other squirrels. I slow down when they are crossing the road, only to see them turn around again in front of my car, leaping

across to the opposite side of the road. “ARE YOU KIDDING ME?” I screamed yesterday as I swerved to avoid a squirrel while trying not to hit a tree. They are just as bad when I am driving my golf cart. There I am, just enjoying a beautiful day, when one of them will run in front of me. This is followed by chortling as the
squirrels do high fives on the curb watching me slam on my brakes. I told my spouse that I am going to start putting pictures of squirrels on the side of my golf cart with a large X through the picture, like the fighter pilots would do on their planes. Maybe the squirrels would get nervous if they thought I was running over
their playmates. My true intent is not to hurt them. I try my best to avoid them regardless of their games. I have looked for gadgets that emit electronic signals from both my car and golf cart to alert the little guys a motorized vehicle is close. Would that help keep them out of my way? I do not think so. The gadgets would not work because the squirrels are having too much fun watching cars abruptly swerve to avoid hitting them. And after a recent bicycle ride where one of them almost took me down, I think they are going to keep it up. So, Cindy, sorry about the “deer meeting” you had the other day. But please watch out for the squirrels. They can be just as hazardous.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Contact your reps about business license program
You may have heard that a bill has been introduced in the SC House of Representatives that will have dramatic impacts on the way that municipalities operate their business license program. A conservative estimate indicates the impact on the city of Beaufort’s budget would be a shortfall of $1 million. The bill gives special exemptions to large corporations, while leaving local businesses and property owners to make up revenue shortfalls. We urge you to contact the sponsors of this bill and your local representatives, and express your opposition to this proposal. For a fact sheet prepared by the Municipal Association of SC, visit bit.ly/2lkdwyL. We urge you to contact the city’s state Rep. Shannon Erickson and express your concern about this bill and the impact it would have on your local government and small businesses. Erickson can be reached atshannonerickson@schouse.gov or 803-734-3261. We also suggest you share your thoughts with the city’s state Sen. Tom Davis at Tom-
Davis@scsenate.gov or 803-212-6350. Please contact Kathy Todd, finance director, or me, with questions or for more information. I can be reached at landerson@cityofbeaufort.org. Todd can be reached at ktodd@ cityofbeaufort.org. Thank you for your support. Libby Anderson Planning Director City of Beaufort
Lady’s Island growth needs long-term plans
I attended the Lady’s Island Corridor Study meeting at Lady’s Island Middle School. I must say that I was a little more than surprised. First, the meeting was opened by the mayor of Beaufort. There was no statement by any official of Lady’s Island or Beaufort County. Are they just following and not leading? Do they not care? Is it a pre-gone conclusion that the prime areas of Lady’s Island have already been given the OK to annex by the city? Second, three different traffic proposals were made and each of them was based on a residential increase of only 1 percent per
year between now and 2038. This was confirmed by the study presenter. Really??? Do we think that Walmart would spend millions on a new store for only a 1-percent population increase per year? If we do, then I feel sorry for the local businesses, because it means that most of Walmart’s business is going to be taken from them. While I believe that the proposals will provide some relief, it will be only short-term. The corridor study appears to be a shallow attempt to do something with minimal pain instead of providing a real comprehensive plan to get ahead of the situation and a real solution for the future growth of Lady’s Island. Let’s bite the bullet now rather than try and play catch-up over and over again. John Stevenson Newpoint, Lady’s Island

Senator’s comments on ACA are misleading
The only reason Sen. Tim Scott can headline his misleading column (The Island News, Feb. 9) with “We are building a better healthcare system” is because citizens and medical care providers work hard at it, and because the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) beat him to it. The successes of the ACA are widely documented with testimonials about finally getting care despite pre-existing conditions, and in the numbers. The uninsured rate is down from 41 million people in 2013 to 28.5 million people in 2015. So there's still work to do. Instead, in his editorial the senator conB2
FEBRUARY 23 - MARCH 1, 2017
tinues on with complaints meant to mislead rather than heal. “President Obama's mantra that if you liked your doctor you would keep them,” claims the senator. The ACA does not determine your network of providers, that is a business agreement between insurance companies and hospitals and doctors. Insurance companies, however, have been narrowing the networks as a way to save themselves money and water down the benefits we pay for out of our pockets and with our taxes. Insurance companies are furthermore often incapable of telling patients what is in and out of network, which leads to balance billing, cutting people off from specialists and delaying and interfering with medical decisions. These failures are also a major cause of bankruptcies. Scott complains about the costs of reform and healthcare in general. Yes, it's really expensive, and yes, it would be more expensive now without the stewardship of proper reform, and yes, I agree, there's room for improvement in the ACA. So let's be positive about it instead of divisive, and forward-thinking instead of hissy-fitting. Healthcare is a best use of our tax dollars. South Carolina has awful, and awfully expensive, rates of diabetes, infant and maternal mortality and more. Then there's security issues like Zika, ebola and mental illness and guns. Walls are nothing to bullets and germs. A sincerely managed healthcare system means a lot: that all children are healthy enough learn to the best of their abilities, and it means well-paying jobs, innovation and technology and hope. If healthcare was not tied to employment — because it doesn't have to be — workers would have the freedom to choose jobs suited to their skills and ambitions, and employers would not be responsible for the profit margins of insurance companies. “In the Palmetto State,” Scott claims, “insurance companies have fled the marketplace exchange, and many of our constituents are left with only one option for healthcare.” This is true because Gov. Haley refused to expand Medicaid and grandfathered in the state health plan, essentially preventing taxpayers from shopping for their own insurance. She also spread the same “alternative facts” as Scott is now. Follow the money to BlueCross BlueShield. More significantly, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida turned off the Risk Corridor program of the ACA, which forced numerous insurance companies to close in South Carolina and nationally. Now, those insurance companies are successfully suing the federal government because a little man who wanted to be president needed to score some political points. In South Carolina, patients were cut off from their specialists mid treatment; the Post & Courier covered their stories well. Insurance companies and politicians are not patient-centered. Consumers are still getting ripped off. Keep in mind that the ACA is not for everyone. No one has to shop at marketplace. gov; it's simply a resource for people who need or choose to. The “repeal and replace” plans are big, expensive, deliberate steps backwards, steps taken to personally profit certain politicians and the many middlemen known as insurance companies.

Dvorak's lyrical opera 'Rusalka' coming to center for arts By Alan Schuster
When Czechoslovakian composer Antonin Dvorak composed his opera “Rusalka” in 1901, he was at his creative peak, matching the same high quality of his finest orchestral works. The Czechs were quick to embrace it, benefited in part by the fairy tale – Hans Christian Andersen's “The Little Mermaid” ¬– upon which the opera is based. A 'rusalka' is a water sprite, usually inhabiting a lake or river. The opera will be presented Live in HD from the Met at 12:55 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 25, at the USCB Center for the Arts. The music in the score is extensive, ranging from folk-inspired to grandiose, as well as the impressionism that Dvorak expressed in several of the opera's nature scenes. No doubt, Dvorak also found inspiration in the works of some of his contemporaries, among them Wagner, Bizet and Tchiakovsky. One resounding example is the comparison between Tchiakovsky's “Letter Scene” from
Eugene Onegin that is captured in Rusalka's “Plea to the Moon.” Both are rich in melody, expressing similar sentiments with emotional outbursts. Act I A meadow by the edge of a lake. Woodsprites tease the Water Goblin, ruler of the lake. His daughter, Rusalka, tells him that she is in love with a human prince who comes to hunt around the lake, and she wants to become human to embrace him. He discourages her, then steers her to a witch, Jezibaba, for assistance. Rusalka sings her Song to the Moon, asking it to tell the prince of her love. Jezibaba tells her that if she becomes human, she will lose the power of speech and, that if betrayed by him, both will be eternally damned. Rusalka agrees and drinks a potion. While hunting, the prince finds Rusalka, embraces her and leads her away, even though she is unable to speak. Act II The prince's garden. A gamekeeper and
his nephew learn that the prince is to marry a mute. They suspect witchcraft as the prince is already lavishing attentions on a foreign princess who is a wedding guest. The princess, jealous, curses the couple. The prince rejects Rusalka, and the princess, having won his affection, now scorns it. Act III A meadow by the lake. Rusalka asks Jezibaba for a solution to her woes and is told she can save herself if she kills the prince with a dagger she gives her. But Rusalka throws the dagger into the lake, turning her into a spirit of death living in the lake. Later, the prince comes to the lake, and calls for Rusalka. He asks her to kiss him, knowing it means death and damnation. They kiss, he dies and Rusalka returns to the depths of the lake. If the Moon Song wasn't so sublime, then Rusalka's beautiful aria in the final act (“I am torn from life”) would be a stunning alternative. In it, she touchingly expresses her separation from her sisters and the prince.
But in the finale, the couple comes together in what one opera historian considered to be “12 of the most glorious minutes in opera.” At the least, it should rank as opera's greatest kiss of death. Kristine Opolais, one of the newer and most exciting sopranos in the world today, sings the title role, ones which she has become accustomed to, having sung both “Madam Butterfly” and “Manon Lescaut” during the Met's previous HD series. Joining her are mezzo Jamie Barton as Jezibaba; and tenor Brandon Jovanovich as the Prince. Need a little convincing? Google: Kristin Opolais, Rusalka, Song to the Moon. Czech it out! Tickets for all operas are now available. All seats are general admission. Tickets are $20 for adults; $18 for OLLI members; and $10 for students. Order online at www.centerforthearts. com or by calling 843-521-4145. The box office opens at 11 a.m.

Saving 1,000 lives
The Palmetto Animal League (PAL) kicked off its "1000 Lives Worth Saving" campaign recently by inviting the community to stop by the adoption center in Okatie and have a photo taken with one of the pets currently up for adoption. Participants were then asked to post the photos on social media in order to spread the word. Dozens of people came by throughout the day in order to help the not-for-profit organization raise money and create awareness for adoption. Also on hand were local radio personalities Stacy Scott from Rewind 107.9 and Shark from G 100.1.

JSLB members serve as personal stylists for the girls, helping each to pick the perfect gown and complete her look. And this year, JSLB is excited to expand the opportunity to Hampton Country students as well. “The most rewarding part of this experience, and why we continue to host this event year after year, is the reaction of the girls when they find the perfect dress,” said Missy Nelson, co-chairwoman of the Prom Boutique. “The girls leave the Prom Boutique with a sense of confidence that serves them far beyond the memorable occasion of prom.” Similar to past years, the Prom Boutique offers attendees a red-carpet experience and includes a VIP hour from 11 a.m. to noon for those who pre-register for the event. VIP attendees have the opportunity to have first pick of all dresses and accessories, while enjoying even more personalized attention from JSLB’s personal stylists.

Middle school girls attend STEM day
Fifty middle school girls spent a recent Saturday immersed in learning activities related to science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Local professionals in those STEM fields led the workshop. The daylong session, Launch Your Future with STEM, was supported by the Beaufort Chapter of the American Association of University Women and funded by a grant from the Society of Women Engineers through a donation from the ExxonMobil Foundation. The workshop was co-sponsored by the University of South Carolina-Beaufort and the Beaufort County School District. The participating girls were students at Robert Smalls International Academy as well as Beaufort, Lady’s Island and Whale Branch middle schools. Women often are not familiar with STEM career possibilities although high-paying jobs in STEM-related fields are increasing quickly and companies are actively seeking out women to apply.

DATAW Visual Arts Club makes visit to Lady’s Island Middle
Eight members of the Dataw Island Visual Arts Club (VAC) toured the Lady’s Island Middle School (LIMS) art department recently. Art teacher Cadra Rooney conducted the tour. This excursion was a follow-up to see the students at work in their art center after the VAC donated $1,400 recently to support the LIMS art program. The tour began in the gallery that the students designed themselves in 2016. To ensure success, they conducted research and toured the Telfair Museum, Columbia Museum and SCAD to observe how effective galleries operate. They took measurements, priced out supplies, and then contributed to final decisions during the construction process. The next stop was the drawing studio set up with a still life arrangement surrounded by easels, ready for students to begin drawing. The last stop was the main art room where the students drew a pattern for a slab box with a hinged top, rolled out the clay, cut the forms and began to create a treasure. Rooney explained that in the next step the pottery would be glazed using a variety of newly purchased glazes. Dataw VAC members said they were very pleased to see their donation was making a positive contribution to the community, and they received many thank-you notes from appreciative students for donating to the school's art funds.

Bridges Prep educator named Favorite Teacher Beaufort Academy and the Thomas H. Horton Jr. Memorial Scholarship committee have selected junior Anna Miller as its 12th annual scholarship recipient. She is the daughter of Aaron and Karen Miller. Tom Horton was a beloved teacher and coach at Beaufort Academy for 23 years. In 2003, he died, leaving a legacy behind at the school. His family established the Thomas H. Horton Jr. Memorial Scholarship in 2004 to memorialize his life and commemorate his contributions to the development of the minds and characters of students. Due to Horton’s love of travel, the scholarship is designated to give Beaufort Academy students a chance to participate in a summer study abroad program. Anna, the 2017 recipient, inspired by literature, and driven by her own love for creative writing, will travel to Ireland for 25 days this summer as a part of “The Irish Life Experience.” She will be studying past and present authors, local culture, drama, writing and song. During the last 11 years, the scholarship has allowed recipients the chance to study abroad in a variety of locations including England, Italy, Scotland, Switzerland, Spain, France, Peru, Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands.
Bridges Prep teacher Katherine Tapia was recently named Favorite Teacher by Winning Orthodontic Smiles of Beaufort and Bluffton. Katherine Tapia, a third-grade teacher, received a $100 gift card to Staples. It was the first time any Bridges Prep teacher had received the award since the school’s opening. One of Tapia’s students, Caitlin Conley, nominated her teacher for the monthly award. She signed up her teacher when visiting the orthodontic office of Dr. Skeet Burris, Dr. Travis Fiegle and Dr. Katie Plunkett. “This was a nice surprise for Mrs. Tapia and her students,” Bridges Head of School Nick Ithomitis said. “The kids adore her and I think it’s wonderful that one of her students thought to nominate her at the orthodontist’s office as Favorite Teacher.’” To learn more about Bridges Preparatory School, visit www.bridgesprep.org or call 843-982-7737.

Foundation recognizes Dataw’s support of vets Dataw Island has a reputation for thanking and honoring the men and women who have served our country. But the tables were turned recently when the On Course Foundation, one of the recipient organizations of Dataw’s efforts, presented Dataw Island with a plaque to express their appreciation for the continued support of Dataw residents and staff. At the ceremony, it was also announced that the USGA will conduct the first National U.S. Open Championship for disabled men and women in 2019-2020, a huge boon for disabled veteran golfers. Glenn Blackburn, U.S. Army veteran and Dataw member, said that thanks to Dataw Island and others, there is a groundswell of support in the USGA golf community. “Now that golf is in the Olympics, surely golf will arrive shortly as part of the Para-Olympics.” Dataw Island supports the healing, recovery and transition of wounded and disabled veterans in several ways, including through fundraisers and golf therapy programs. One of these programs is the On Course Foundation, an organization that supports the recovery of wounded, injured and sick service personnel and veterans through golf. Annually, Dataw Island hosts one of the qualifying events for the Simpson Cup – an event in which 24 wounded or injured veterans from across the country travel to the Lowcountry hoping to secure one of the three spots for the American team, which then goes on to compete against British counterparts in a Ryder Cup-style championship.
TEACHER RECRUITMENT FAIR For the past three years, the USA Simpson Cup Team was coached by Dataw’s assistant golf pro Chris Fearn. The community also hosts a multitude of events every year around Veterans Day, including the Veterans Golf Classic, an island-wide charity fundraiser that has received national recognition for its efforts in support of the nation's veterans and military families who have lost loved ones. Dataw Island residents team-up with the local Beaufort Veteran Service Chapters of the Military Order of the Purple Heart, Disabled American Veterans Chapter #12 and the American Legion #9 to host the event.

This wine is, going, going, gone Greetings. And happy wine drinking. I hope everyone has been doing well. And drinking well. Today, we have a chance to learn about, and try, a pretty unique wine. Its appellation, Priorat, isn't that unique, especially if you've been staying connected with popular Spanish red wines from the last decade or so. Whether you have or not, we'll learn about Priorat today. Unique is "the" Priorat we have. There was an extremely small production from the winery, and only five cases are in South Carolina. Priorat is a Spanish DOQ located in the southwestern part of the Catalonia wine region. The appellation is located just south of Barcelona. Priorat is one of just two wine regions in Spain with this higher legal status. (Rioja is the other.) Priorat can also be called Priorato - no difference except for Spanish dialect. Wines have been made in the Priorat area since the 12th century. Carthusian monks from Provence, France, tended the vineyards for 700 years. In 1835, the lands were claimed by the state. Toward the end of the 19th century, phylloxera infected the vineyards and Priorat wines mostly disappeared. They did get their original, and legally lower, designation in 1954, but an upgrade to DOQ in 1989 established them. Like we've learned with other wines, this upgrade brought money into the Priorat wine business, better winemakers, better winemaking techniques and lots of new fans. Today, the area covers almost 5,000 acres with over 550 vineyards and 100-plus wineries. There are two main varieties used in red Priorat wines – Ganarcha (Gremache) and Cariñena (Carignan). There is no minimum or maximum amount in Spanish wine laws for either of them. Each Priorat producer, though, focuses on his own style of this appellation. Other varieties are allowed in these wines, too. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet

Franc, Syrah and even Pinot Noir can all be used. The more Garnacha and Cariñena in a producer's blend, the more we taste red fruit flavors. The more of the Bordeaux varieties that are used, the more we taste black fruit flavors. Wines laws for Priora also include some aging times. "Criança" wines have to be aged for at least six months in barrels and 18 months in bottles. "Reserva" are barrel aged for 12 months in barrels and 24 months in bottles. And, "Gran Reserva" stay in barrels for 24 months and bottles for two years. Yes, you can assume the price goes up as the aging gets longer and longer. Within the Priorat area, there is a village called Falset. It has one castle and two palaces. And it's one of the best sites for growing Priorat grapes. Our Priorat comes from this village, from Clos Pissarra, a winery founded in 2005 and named for the Catalon word for "slate." It’s one of the things that make the area wines taste like they do. Aristan is a 5-acre vineyard next to the winery. This wine is a blend of Garnacha, from 10-year-old vines, and Syrah. (Syrah is becoming more popular than Cabernet Sauvignon for Priorat wines.) The soils for both varieties are slate and clay and the production is cut back to 1 ton per acre, a very meager amount. Five cases of the 2010 Aristan came into South Carolina. Clos Pissarra only made 399. More than one of the five has been sold. So going, going, gone is the issue. For $20.99. Enjoy.
