HUNTING ISLAND: A heartbreaking scene
Film festival keeps growing By Kat Walsh
Clockwise from top: One of the comfort stations at the Hunting Island campground still stands but was heavily damaged during Hurricane Matthew; the storm eroded both the primary and secondary dune system at Hunting Island State Park; a toilet filled with sand shows how extensive the damage done to the state park’s waste disposal system. The entire system needs to replaced. Photos by Bob Sofaly.

Before the early morning hours of Oct. 8, Hunting Island was home to an incredibly popular campground, an expansive, glorious beach and walking trails through the lush maritime forest. Now, it looks like a battleground. Beaufort County residents have seen the piles of debris caused by Hurricane Matthew; they’ve seen the landscape change before their very eyes. But nothing quite prepares you for Hunting Island. The 5,000-acre barrier island, like other barrier islands in Beaufort County, took a sucker punch right in the face from Hurricane Matthew.
The 19th century lighthouse, the nature center, Little Blue (the small lone cabin left in the park) and the park rangers’ homes survived intact. But that’s about it. The trails are covered in fallen trees; the lagoon suffered saltwater intrusion; and the campground is a tangle of trees, limbs and debris. Additionally, the 9-foot storm surge destroyed all of the dunes and the beach suffered a tremendous amount of erosion. Sand was pushed up into one of the bathrooms closest to the beach and it piled up to the top of the bowls (and even inside the bowls) of the toilets. Four trees also fell on that bathroom.

There is a lot of debris still on the beach, including crab traps, branches, palmetto leaves and more. Park manager Daniel Gambrell said the beach will have to be renourished because there is so little of it left. One positive note is the “boneyard” of trees on the beach survived, but were pushed farther away from the water. Additionally, more than 2,000 trees have been lost throughout the park, some due to the high winds, and most pines were downed or have died because they couldn’t survive the salt water intrusion. The park is now inhabited by state park rangers and the cleanup contractor, which is See ISLAND page A8

The Eleventh Annual Beaufort International Film Festival will host thousands of film lovers from around the world from Tuesday, Feb. 15, and continuing through Sunday, Feb. 19. Organizers are expecting their biggest crowd to date at one of the fastest growing film festivals in the Southeast. Due to its popularity, the festival has expanded to five days. “This will allow for more screenings to occur on Saturday night,” said Ron Tucker, co-founder of the Beaufort Film Society. "We are honored to have one world premiere film, ‘Trigger: The Ripple Effect of Gun Violence,’ one East Coast premiere, ‘Saturn Returns’ and one Southern U.S. premiere, a student film, ‘Icarus,’ ” said Tucker. At most of the screenings, the filmmakers will attend their own film showings. “At this time, we have over 50 commitments from filmmakers planning to attend the festival,” said Tucker. Awards will be presented in the areas of Features, Documentaries, Short Films, Student Films, Screenplays, Animation, Comedy and Audience Choice. Also, winners will be named for Best Actor, Best Actress and Best Director. In addition to the category and individual awards, the inaugural Robert Smalls Merit & Achievement Award will be presented to trailblazing filmmaker Julie Dash. “This award was created to recognize a filmmaker whose body of work has served as a catalyst for groundbreaking discoveries and societal change. Ms. Dash's accomplishments during the last quarter century certainly meet this criterion," said Tucker. Filmed in Beaufort, Dash’s “Daughters of the Dust” has been restored and re-released as part of its 25th anniversary. “We are very fortunate to be selected as one the screening locations for the limited theatrical re-release during the festival,” said Rebecca Tucker, co-founder of the Beaufort Film Society. “And following the

Scam alert: BJWSA doesn’t collect payment at homes
A customer recently called the Beaufort Jasper Water Authority reporting that a man who identified himself “from the water department” came to her door saying he was there to disconnect service and asked for payment. BJWSA had no personnel in that area at that time, and the customer’s service was not in danger of interruption. BJWSA would never knock on the door and demand payment. If the service were scheduled for disconnection, the service would be cut at the meter and there would be no visit from a technician. The customer said the person was in a white truck, possibly a Chevy. Contact BJWSA if you have a similar experience by sending an e-mail to info@bjwsa.org or by calling 843987-9200. A2

Man arrested in Hilton Head shooting
A 28-year-old man who was wanted in connection with a Nov. 3, 2016, shooting incident outside Cool Cats Lounge on Hilton Head Island has been arrested. Listed as a wanted person in the National Crime Information Center, Waldemar Gilyard was located and arrested by United States Waldemar Marshals Service agents on Gilyard Jan. 12 in the Tampa, Fla., area. Following his arrest, Gilyard waived extradition back to South Carolina on the charge of attempted murder. Beaufort County Sheriff 's Office investigators traveled to the Pinellas County, Fla., jail on Jan. 31 and took Gilyard into custody. He was transported to the Beaufort County Detention Center and incarcerated that same day. Gilyard was charged with attempted murder, possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime; unlawful carrying of a handgun; and discharging a firearm within town limits. All four warrants were obtained on the days following the shooting incident in which one man was wounded. The victim was treated for the gunshot wound and has since recovered. Anyone with information on Gilyard is encouraged to contact Staff Sgt. Eric Calendine at 843-255-3427 or CrimeStoppers 1-888-CrimeSC to remain anonymous and for possible reward.
Sheriff ’s offices seeking help in solving case
The Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office is seeking the public’s help in a cold case. On Feb. 4, 1975, Dorothy Kay Olbert, 50, was reported missing by her husband around midnight after she failed to return to their Hilton Head Island residence from a church meeting. At approximately 12:45 a.m. on Feb. 5, 1975, she Dorothy Kay was discovered dead outside Olbert her vehicle near the back gate of Shipyard Plantation. A forensic autopsy revealed she died as a result of blunt force trauma to the head. Numerous interviews were conducted, as well as forensic examination of evidence collected at the scene, but no suspects have been identified. The motive for her murder was not apparent, as she had no known enemies. The limited technology available in 1975 failed to forensically link anyone to the crime.
A reward of up to $2,500 is being 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. 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 information regarding this case can call Capt. Bob Bromage at 843-255-3402, 843-816-8013, email robertb@bcgov.net or call CrimeStoppers at 1-888-CrimeSC to remain anonymous and for a possible reward.
Can fire crews reach you in time to prevent tragedy?
Burton firefighters say it is crucial to get to an emergency scene fast as fires quickly grow and spread, and medical emergencies can turn deadly in minutes. However, finding these emergency scenes has often been elusive for responding Burton fire crews. Burton fire officials say that addressing and access continue to be problematic in their ability to arrive as quickly as possible to emergency scenes. Some homes are located off the main road with no addresses on the main road to direct emergency crews, and some homes and mailboxes do not have their address visible. Some homes cannot be reached due to the poor condition of the driveways that are overgrown, have hanging limbs or fallen trees blocking the way. Additionally, some homes are not addressed as the street they are located on, and in some mobile home communities the residences are not marked sequentially. Here’s what citizens can do to help firefighters reach them: • Clear and trim driveways, in particular low hanging vegetation. • Ensure your address number is visible on your house from the street, and place address numbering on both sides of your mailbox to be visible from both directions. • If your home is located a distance from the main road, ensure that the address is marked on the main road. • If your address does not match your street, let dispatchers know this when you call 911, and also provide any additional directions. • After calling 911, if possible, send someone outside to flag down fire trucks. Burton fire officials encourage their citizens to routinely observe their residences and property when they arrive home and to look at it from an emergency responder’s point of view, who also have to find these difficult locations at night or in bad weather.

The Beaufort City Council voted unanimously Jan. 24 on the first of two readings to annex 67 parcels on Lady's Island with a combined assessed value of $980,610. Of those parcels, 56 include Secession Golf course, its offices, vacant lots and homes; the remaining 11 parcels are along Sea Island Parkway. According to Mayor Billy Keyserling, in his weekly newsletter, “The annexation comes at no additional service charges except for $40,520 to the Lady's Island Fire District, which provides primary fire protection under an existing contract agreement with the city. City officials project the additional properties will generate $125,000 annually in taxes and fees.”

Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island conducted an anti-terrorism/force protection exercise on Feb. 2. The exercise simulated an active shooter and hostage situation and was designed to test various aspects of the depot’s emergency response capabilities. During the exercise, Marine Corps law enforcement officers responded to the All-Weather Training Facility after an active shooter entered and shot into a crowd of family day attendees before taking hostages in a closed room. “When we conduct these types of exercises, we look at individual tactics for each department when responding to an emergency, but we also like to take the opportunity to look at how those groups work together as a team to respond to a more complex incident,” said Rick Scott, team leader for the Marine Corps Installation Command’s Regional Exercise Team-East. “Fortunately, those incidents don’t happen on a regular basis, so you have to take an opportunity to train when you can.” Members of Parris Island’s Fire and Emergency Services also responded to provide medical triage and care and exercise their interoperability with their law enforcement counterparts. After the exercise, officials will review the lessons learned and apply any necessary changes to ensure Parris Island is a safe as possible.

Beaufort County going completely smoke-free
Beaufort County is taking steps to help its employees get healthier and go smoke-free. Effective March 1, smoking will be prohibited at all county-owned or operated facilities, parks and campuses. The Beaufort County Council voted in November to approve the updated Beaufort County Smoking Ordinance. Smoking will not be allowed on any county property, including in cars. Additionally, e-cigarettes will also be off limits. “We are one of the top employers in the county and we feel it is our duty to create a healthier environment for our employees and residents,” said Beaufort County Administrator Gary Kubic. “This is only one piece of our overall plan to become a healthier Beaufort County.” The county is offering healthy lifestyle resources to its employees, including granting access to the workout facilities at Buckwalter and Burton Wells Recreation Centers at no cost to all Beaufort County employees. For employees who plan to quit smoking, the county is offering the Freedom From Smoking program, an eight-week smoking cessation course that will address different aspects of the quitting process each week and includes stress management techniques, education on craving and weight control while quitting. Additionally, the county’s Communications and Accountability Department will kick off a multi-media #SmokeFreeBC campaign that will help to encourage employees and residents who want to quit smoking through video clips, inspirational photos, graphics and testimonials.

Beaufort mayor to speak at Lady’s Island meeting
Beaufort City Mayor Billy Keyserling will be the guest speaker at the Tuesday, Feb. 14, meeting of the Lady’s Island Business and Professional Association. It will be held at 8 a.m. in the Beaufort County Realtors Headquarters located in the Palmetto Business Park, Lady’s Island Drive. The meeting is open to the public. Keyserling was elected to his office in 2008 and reelected for additional terms of office in 2012 and 2016. He will discuss whether Beaufort has a long-range plan for development of the commercial portion of Lady’s Island; the recent joint city/county traffic study of Sea Island Parkway; annexation; growth; and more.
County drought status downgraded to normal
Due to adequate winter rainfall for portions of South Carolina, the S.C. Drought Response Committee has updated the drought statuses of 15 counties. All counties in the southern region, including Beaufort, were downgraded from incipient to normal. All counties in the northeast region maintained their current statuses of normal (no drought) or incipient. Richland and Lexington counties, located in the central region of the state, were downgraded to normal status, while the rest of the counties in that region maintained their current statuses of moderate or normal. McCormick and Abbeville counties, located in the Central Savannah region, maintained moderate status; Edgefield, Aiken and Barnwell counties were downgraded to incipient; and Allendale and below were downgraded to normal status. “We voted to downgrade the drought for many counties due to increased rainfall over the last 30 to 60 days,” Colleton County Soil and Water Conservation District Commissioner Emeritus Marion Rizer said. “Ironically, we are not able to get into the fields to fertilize small grains and to make preparations for spring planting because soil moisture conditions are too wet in some areas.”

our insatiable thirst for more love and admiration. Choosing what is right for our lives begins inside, in our hearts, as an act of alignment with love. Love actually always begins and ends with me. The presence of true love is never found outside of ourselves. After we have taken the time to heal and nurture our own hearts, our own bodies, our own minds, our own spirits, then we can experience truly loving relationships with others. Ask yourself how would it feel to give and receive love freely and unconditionally without stress or the fear of losing it? Is it indeed possible to be in truly loving relationships while being true to myself? Let's take a moment right now and connect with our own hearts. Close your eyes if you wish or not, and begin breathing into your heart. Are you feeling resistance to this request? Are thoughts flooding your mind right now? Just continue to be still and breathe. What are your feelings in your heart? Is there lightness and joy, or sadness and tightness? Are you aware of any feelings of wanting something different in your life, in your relationships? Don't ignore any feelings that come up. Just notice them and continue breathing into your heart. How would it feel if I was totally loveable just as I am right now ... with this body, with this amount of money, with this training? Say the words, "I am loveable and I am worthwhile" either silently or aloud to yourself. Now open your eyes if they were closed and begin to breathe regularly. This is a simple way of checking in with your heart, your body, your spirit to feel what is real about the nature of love in your life. Affirming being loveable and worthy might not feel real at first, but over time with practice these words and feelings will become your reality. Happy journeying, happy discovering and uncovering, and most of all, LOVE actually!

It is February and most everyone's minds and hearts are giving more attention to the thing that everyone wants: love. So much thought and energy is directed to how to get love, how to hold it and how to give it. Just as surely, the experiences of anxiety, emotional pain and even depression increase greatly during Valentine season. What's a person to do? In our culture, looking for love in all the wrong places has become a national pastime. We have been conditioned to expect that the love of our parents, our children, our family, our mates or partners, or our friends will create endless and perfect joy in us. We believe that the more of these folk we can enlist into our fan club of unconditional love, the happier our lives will be. Stop for a minute and let yourselves feel if this rings true for you in any way. I remember when I believed that in order to earn and keep my parents love, it was necessary for me to be the good and quiet daughter. So many hours of my married life were devoted to how could I get my husband to love me more. I changed my hair, dieted to look more desirable, wore clothes that he favored and even adoringly approved of every "brilliant" idea that popped into his head to win more love and attention from him. How often have I agreed to participate in unfulfilling activities with friends just so that I would continue to be loved by them. The truth is that all this seeking love from others ever accomplished for me was greater anxiety, stress, deeper sadness, migraine headaches and more self-denial. When we get right down to it, what is the real motivation for choosing the "right" school for our children, the "right" program for our growth, the "right" job or exercise program? All are reasonable choices for being the best that we can be, for sure! But if the truth be told, so often we go for the "right" because of

HEALTH BRIEFS LoCo Motion becomes Pledge The Pink
Are you ready to do the LoCo Motion again? Then get ready for some big changes in the 2017 edition. This year, the venerable fitness challenge, which brought thousands of pink-clad runners and walkers to Callawassie Island in 2016, makes its return with one huge difference. Rather than simply “Doing the LoCo Motion,” the small army that descends on the Lowcountry will be Pledging the Pink. The name change from LoCo Motion to Pledge The Pink came about as the inevitable result of the community’s home-grown footrace gaining a massive global appeal and reach. “We started offering ‘virtual LoCo’ last year, allowing people to join our race and do the 30 miles in their own hometown,” said event founder Laura Morgan. “As that grew, we realized that this wasn’t just the Lowcountry’s event. We sent medals and race swag to people all across the planet, and we unknowingly created a world-wide event.” That also means more money raised for the cause, the majority of which goes to Lowcountry breast care providers for screening and clinical research. Hollings Cancer Center was one of the 2016 beneficiaries and received $40,000 from the event. The 2017 event is Sept. 21-24 and registration is now open at www.pledgethepink.com.
TCL now accepting fall applications
The Technical College of the Lowcountry is now accepting applications for fall entry into its health sciences programs that include massage therapy, nursing, physical therapist assistant, radiologic technology,
surgical technology and medical assisting. Applications are due by Tuesday, April 18. “Entry into TCL’s health sciences programs is highly competitive, so it’s best to start the application process early,” Health Sciences Dean Glenn Levicki said. Health Sciences students experience on-campus learning using high-tech simulation equipment and receive additional hands-on practice at clinical sites located throughout Beaufort, Jasper, Hampton and Colleton counties. By combining classroom and clinical education, TCL health sciences programs truly prepare students for their careers. Plus, TCL students perform exceptionally well on licensing exams – each program boasts pass rates higher than the national average. Employment in healthcare occupations is expected to grow 19 percent from 2014 to 2024, much faster than the average. Over this same time about 2.3 million new healthcare jobs will be added, more than any other group of occupations. This expected growth is due to an aging population and because more individuals have access to health insurance, according to the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics. Call 843-525-8267 for more information, or visit www.tcl.edu/pathways/ health-sciences.

clearing up the more the million of dollars in damages. The camping area is where much of the work is focused and where there is a tremendous amount of devastation. When you drove up to the campground entrance before Matthew, you couldn’t see the beach for the trees. There were 88 camping sites in that area closest to the beach. Now, most of the trees are gone, except some of the sturdy palmetto trees, and the ocean is clearly in view. Some trees that are standing lost their tops and look like large sticks. Those 88 sites will remain closed for the foreseeable future because salt water got into the electrical services and the system would need to be completely replaced. Salt water also got into the plumbing system of the park as a whole. Additionally, grills were upended, signs were twisted and downed, picnic tables were destroyed and trees fell on top of the bathrooms. For the rangers, the site was horrifying when they first returned after evacuating the park. “When we got back, the damage was just massive,” said Daniel Gambrell, Hunting Island park manager. “It really was devastating to see it.” The island was under water, and he said it took him and other rangers four and a half hours to get from the entrance to the lighthouse, a walk that would usually take about 25 minutes. “There were just so many trees down and at some points we were walking through 3 feet of water,” he said. “This is such a special place,” said Gambrell. “We take pride in our park and it’s hard to see it like this.” However, he is hoping that at least 102 campsites will reopen by the end of May. And he’s optimistic about the future. “We want people to visit, but it’s just not safe,” said Gambrell. “We suffered a lot of damage, but we’re making good progress with the cleanup. And when we get done, we think it will be even better.”

screening, a panel will discussion will take place with the filmmaker, local cast and crew.” Filmmaker Brad Jayne will receive the Behind the Scenes Award for his notable accomplishments over the past 15 years, which include working closely with the South Carolina Film Commission's Indie Grants and Young Filmmakers programs. Also new to the festival this year is the Film and Digital Media Symposium. Presented in a partnership with the USCB Media Arts Department, the event is free and open to the public. "We are optimistic the symposium will help pave the way to a stronger relationship concerning the importance and value of a Digital Media Arts program and the Beaufort Film Society,” said Rebecca Tucker. “If you are a film lover, this is a great opportunity to learn about all the work that takes place behind the scenes,” said director and producer VW Schiech, who will present a class on visual film effects at the symposium. Schiech said he is also looking forward to the Thursday, Feb. 16, screenwriter’s workshop, which pairs the top nominated screenplays with local actors in a live table read. “I have been to a lot of festivals all over the country, and I’ve never seen this. BIFF does something no one else is doing,” said Schiech.

It’s all in the family for the Burton Fire District’s 2016 Firefighter of the Year and District Officer of the Year. Both drew on their family experiences to become firefighters, and now consider their fellow firefighters as part of their families, too. Justin Blankenship Lt. Justin Blankenship was selected as the Burton Fire District’s Officer of the Year for his dedication to the protection of the citizens of Burton through extra training and schooling. He is one of the busiest officers in the district, which had nearly 300 emergency calls in 2016, including two house fires in one night. Blankenship, 33, was born and raised in Beaufort. His father owned a heavy equipment company, and that was the direction he thought he was heading. But he started volunteering as a firefighter as a sophomore in high school, and would take classes on weekends and go on runs with the Sheldon fire station crew. “I just really enjoyed it,” he said. He started as a firefighter recruit — an entry level position — and worked his way up through the ranks and was promoted to lieutenant five years ago. He’s been with the district for 15 years. He loves his job and takes great pleasure in coming to the aid of others. “I love helping the community,” said Blankenship. “When they’re at their worst time they look to us, from being sick to fires to car wrecks.” He particularly loves helping children. “Every year we take Santa around on a fire engine,” he said. “I enjoy seeing the looks on the kid’s faces. It’s the most fun time of year for me because for some kids that’s the only time they see Santa.” He’s also had his share of tough times. “The toughest for me was a fatality fire and my niece was about the same age as the little girl who passed away,” he said. “With children it’s always really hard, and unfortunately I’ve seen my fair share of them. It
haunts me.” Blankenship gets through those tough times with the support of his wife, Shannon, with whom he has three children. “(Shannon’s) dad was also a firefighter, so she knows a little bit about it,” he said. “That’s one thing about our fire department: We are very family-oriented. If we work a holiday the whole shift gets together and everyone comes up to share a meal and do family stuff. Also, our kids come up and eat dinner at the station at least one night a week.” Blankenship said he was taken aback by the honor of District Officer of the Year. “I was very surprised,” he said. “I try to do my job the best I can and it’s such an honor to be chosen by my peers and the chiefs.” Ethan Webb Engineer Ethan Webb was selected as Firefighter of the Year for his continued leadership with younger firefighters and willingness to take on additional duties. Webb, as driver of Engine 5, gets his fire engine in service upon notification of an emergency with the fastest time of his shift with an average of one minute, 10 seconds. Webb was also named 2016 Exchange Club Firefighter of the year. Like Blankenship, family comes first for him. “My father has been a firefighter for 35 years; he’s our deputy chief,” said Webb, 24. “I grew up around the firehouse and it was always something I wanted to do.” However, while his dad approved, his mother wasn’t too thrilled with the idea of him following in his father’s footsteps. “My father was always there, but mom tried to talk me out,” he said. “She was worried. And initially after high school, I wasn’t going to do it. But then within a couple of years I realized that’s what I wanted to do.” So he went to the fire academy and graduated with all of his certifications. He then volunteered with Burton, but
said he didn’t expect to get a job. But after about eight months, he was hired as a full-time firefighter and “I’ve been here ever since,” he said. He credits his fellow firefighters for his success. “It’s truly a family, it’s a brotherhood that runs deeper than anything I’ve ever been involved with,” he said. “You form bonds in high school sports, but here you literally put your life in another person’s hand. That’s what makes it so special; it’s a huge family that’s not blood. We do whatever we can to help each other.” And like Blankenship, he’s seen his share of tragedies. “The hardest one was when I was on the job for about a month and we went to a cardiac arrest of a 32-year-old man. While we were doing CPR, his two little girls, who were about 4 or 5 years old, were standing at the end of the hallway, and that stuck with me for a long time, the sight of those girls. We were unable to save him.” He’s also been blessed to save lives, he said. “I remember a call on a 3-month-old infant not breathing on Trask Parkway,” he said. “By the time EMS pulled up we had the baby breathing. For anyone, a kid is a soft spot. It’s one of the highlights, and that’s what keeps you going. We see a lot of bad, but we are doing what we can to fix things, and that fuels my machine. I’ve always looked at it as running every call as if it was someone you know or love.” He also depends on his fellow firefighters and his wife, Molly. “She’s my rock,” he said. “We see a lot of stuff and you can’t keep it bottled up.” He also is grateful for the community support the department receives. “We have a great community,” he said. “We have their backing and it says a lot about Beaufort County in general. I wouldn’t trade being a firefighter for anything.”
Beaufort/Port Royal department recognizes 2016 awardees The City of Beaufort/Town of Port Royal Fire Department has named Derrick Washington as the 2016 Reserve Firefighter of the Year.

VOICES
We are building a better healthcare system By Sen. Tim Scott, R-SC
Eight years ago, then-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi stated that we would have to pass the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, in order to figure out what was in it. Thanks to that irresponsible logic, the American people were forced into a healthcare system that is unable to keep the promises on which it was sold. We all remember President Obama’s mantra that if you liked your doctor you would keep them, that premiums and deductibles would go down, that we would have more insurance choices and that Medicare would be protected at all costs. Fast forward to the end of President Obama’s two terms and we find that people have lost their healthcare plans and their doctors. Deductibles and premiums have
gone up, while our insurance choices have gone down. Hundreds of millions of dollars were taken from Medicare in order to fund Obamacare. All these broken promises can only bring Sen. Tim Scott us to one conclusion: Obamacare has been a complete and total disaster, and it is time to repeal and replace the bill. If we do not act on the opportunity that we have been given, it is predicted that Obamacare will cost American taxpayers more than $1 trillion over the course of the next several years. That’s a lot of money to be throwing at a failing healthcare system. I have heard from folks across South Carolina about how the negative effects of Obamacare are harming their family. For

example, Julie from Irmo was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1986. She had maintained health coverage for nearly three decades before her healthcare plan was terminated in December 2013. Her previous plan had been discontinued because of the constraints imposed by Obamacare. When she found coverage, she was denied expensive medications until she went through additional tests. By December of 2014, Julia’s premiums had increased by 25 percent. This is a personal issue to me because it has negatively impacted South Carolinians like Julie and families across the country. In the Palmetto State, insurance companies have fled the marketplace exchange, and many of our constituents are left with only one option for healthcare. At the same time, insurance premiums are predicted to rise an average of 28 percent from 2016 to 2017 – after double-digit average increases the previous two years as well. It is important we make sure there are safety nets in place for those who are un-
able to obtain coverage or those who lose coverage, and basically everyone agrees that those with pre-existing conditions should not be denied coverage. But instead of the government-driven system put in place by Obamacare, we need to make sure to do it in a way that makes sense and helps to build a patient-centric healthcare system. Doctors and patients, not bureaucrats in Washington, must be in charge. The only way to start this process is to repeal and replace Obamacare. President Trump has promised to repeal Obamacare, and the U.S. House and Senate have already taken the first step towards repeal. Over the coming months we will continue working to fully repeal and replace Obamacare. This is our best option to bring about a cost-effective and competitive healthcare system that is better equipped to cover individuals and their families. I will continue working every day to make sure every American has access to affordable, quality healthcare.
The Grannies of I-95: A new type of driver hits the road Now what?
HIGHLIGHTING DAILY LIFE OBSERVATIONS
Lee Scott, a writer and recent retiree, shares her everyday observations about life after career. A former commercial banker responsible for helping her clients to reach their business objectives, Scott now translates those analytical skills to her writings. She recently moved to St. Helena Island with her husband and two cocker spaniels. She enjoys boating, traveling and reading.
There is an exclusive club I have joined recently. I call it the “Grannies of I-95.” You might have seen one of us. We go up and down major highways with gifts and food loaded in the back of our cars, headed to our grandchildren’s ballet recitals, birthday parties and graduations. The Grannies of I-95 are much different from grandmothers of the past. My two grandmothers both had blue white hair and never went anywhere without my grandfathers. However, many of the grandmothers today have their red or blonde hairdos and have no problem leaving grandpa at home. The grandmothers are active in golf and tennis and are involved in community projects. Many of the Grannies have unique names like Nonna, or Mimi, Gigi or Nina and, after hearing about an upcoming sports event or piano recital, pack up the car and take off. Overall, we are a very organized group. We place healthy snacks in our insulated bags; foods like carrots, granola bars and chocolate. (Did I say healthy?) We carry water bottles and iced tea in our little coolers along with homemade cookies for the grandchildren.
There are other necessities we load in our cars. The GPS, an EZ Pass, audio books, and of course, the cell phone with the car adapter charger. The Grannies like to be prepared. We normally stop at our favorite barista’s for the first cup of coffee of the long drive. And because we have done the trip so many times we know all the rest stops. “How dare Virginia tear down their rest facilities and put in porta-potties!” we collectively complained to one another recently. We have also had to learn the highway exits where we can pick up fast food, always keeping in mind the “not open on Sunday” rule of our favorite Chick-fil-A. For us, the drive back home tends to be a bit less hectic. Many of us stay in hotels on the return drive just to relax. The fast pace environment of the city along with the active lifestyles of young grandchildren are both exhilarating and exhausting. It is there in the hotels where I have found myself smiling at other “Grannies of I-95” as we head up to our hotel rooms with our bottles of white wine ready for a long peaceful night sleep. After all, we are grannies.

Having a ball in the snow
A Snow Day was held on Feb. 4 at Red Dam Baptist Church in Hardeeville. Calvin Smith, children’s pastor at Red Dam Baptist Church, said the third annual Snow Day is a great way for church members to get together during the winter months and have some fun. The Iceman Ice Company from Jacksonville, Fla., crushed and sprayed 7 tons of
“snow” onto an artificial ramp and a separate play area for an estimated 300-500 church members, adults and children, to have some wintery fun during the three-hour event. Also on hand giving the event a bazaar-type atmosphere were hotdogs and chili, cotton candy and homemade pies. An inflatable rock wall for the younger children to play on was also available.

SCHOOLS
Sorority makes an impact on MLK Day of Service The Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service is one of six Impact Days for Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc. This year, Nu Delta Omega Chapter members and members of the newly chartered undergraduate chapter, Upsilon Delta, University of South Carolina-Beaufort, rolled up their sleeves to clean the surroundings of a home occupied by a disabled resident and other sections of Wilmington Street in Beaufort. They raked, cleaned, picked up and bagged over 40 bags of
litter as neighbors helping neighbors. Ms. Simmons, the recipient of a portion of the service on MLK Day, surprised the group and showed her appreciation by having grilled hot dogs and hamburgers with all the fixings prepared for the participants. Prior to the service, both chapters participated in Beaufort's annual MLK Day Parade. Nu Delta Omega has participated in the parade and other scheduled events for MLK Day since the celebration started many years ago.
Pictured are members of Nu Delta Omega and Upsilon Delta chapters.
SCHOOL BRIEFS Robots make their debut at Beaufort Academy
Dash and Dot are the latest additions to Beaufort Academy. Dash and Dot are real robots that the elementary and middle school children are coding by using five compatible apps on their iPads. The Aimar Library purchased three sets in the fall and the Beaufort Academy Parents' Association purchased another three sets before the holiday break so that students could have a complete classroom set. Currently, the students are using the app Blockly to make the robots sing, dance and navigate their environment. Blockly is a coding app that uses a block interface, making programming easy for students while helping them to learn computational thinking. In addition to being easy to use, it looks and acts very similarly to Scratch and Scratch Jr., which students are already familiar with. Dash and Dot are built with programmable LED lights, microphones, a speaker, receivers, transmitters, proximity sensors, po-
tentiometers, dual motors, powered wheels with distance tracking and processors. They are built to work with LEGOS and have accessories such as bulldozers, xylophones and ball launchers, making technology classes fun and interactive. The school hopes to compete in the worldwide Wonder League Robotics Competition, where students will get to design solutions to science and technology challenges. To learn more, visit www.makewonder.com.
Applications are available at the financial aid office of USCB at 801 Carteret St., the financial aid office of TCL at 921 Ribaut Road, or by email from Peggy Hubright at pmhubright@gmail.com.

VOLLEYBALL
New timeout responsibilities approved for second referee
The responsibilities and mechanics of the second referee during a time-out in high school volleyball have been altered. Effective with the 2017-18 season, the second referee will whistle a warning at 45 seconds and instruct the timer to sound the horn at 60 seconds as the defining end of a time-out. Further, the second referee shall whistle if the teams are ready to play prior to the 45-second warning and then instruct the timer to sound the horn. This revision to Rule 5-5-3b was one of five rules changes recommended by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) Volleyball Rules Committee at its January 8-10 meeting in Indianapolis and subsequently approved by the NFHS Board of Directors. In a related change, Rule 5-4-3c(17) now states that the first referee shall whistle a warning at 45 seconds if the second referee is still checking the scoresheet. In addition, Rule 5-8-3a states that every time-out will end with a warning whistle by the second referee followed by the horn sounded by the timer. A new rule, 9-8-2, clarifies that a replay is considered to be part of a single-play action. Once a replay is signaled by the first referee, no requests — time-out, service order, lineup, substitution, libero replacement, etc. — may be recognized until after the replay. A complete listing of all rules changes will be available soon on the NFHS website at www.nfhs.org. To access, click on “Activities & Sports” at the top of the home page, and select “Volleyball.” FEBRUARY 9 - 15, 2017

Audubon club offering plantation field trip
The Fripp Audubon club is sponsoring a guided field trip to the Nemours Plantation on Tuesday, Feb. 21. Nemours Plantation was created by Eugene DuPont III and includes almost 10,000 acres. Located in northern Beaufort County, the plantation contains a rich diversity of habitats including remnant rice fields, fresh and brackish water marshes, upland pine and hardwood forests, bottomland hardwoods and cypress/tupelo forests. The plantation lies within the Ashepoo, Combahee and Edisto (ACE) River Basin which is listed by The Nature Conservancy as “one of the last great places.” Participants should dress accordingly for the weather. They will be touring in an open trailer with bench seating and possibly getting out to walk (minimally) to birding spots. Bring binoculars, bug spray, sunscreen, water, snacks etc. Spotting scopes will be available, but participants are welcome to bring their own. Participants are also welcome to bring lunches and enjoy them on the plantation’s grounds after the tour. Restrooms are available, as well as a refrigerator for storing lunches.
The tour is limited to 20 people, who will meet in the parking lot adjacent to the Lady’s Island McDonald’s for an 8 a.m. departure. To sign-up, send an e-mail to frippaudubonclub@gmail.com.
