Sheriff’s Office investigating lawn mower thefts at county facilities By Mindy Lucas The Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a string of thefts involving professional-grade lawn mowers stolen from the county over the course of a five-month period in 2019, officials say. Six lawn mowers with a total value of approximately $50,000 were stolen in incidents beginning in March, said Beaufort County’s Risk Management and Safety Director Kyle Jackson. In the first two incidents in March and April, mowers were stolen off county trailers while county workers were weed-eating or performing other landscaping work on the Spanish Moss Trail and at Basil Green Park. The mowers were stolen once the workers were out of range of the trailers, Jackson said. On April 19 and Aug. 4, thieves made off again with lawn mowers – this time from two county public works facilities, one on Benton Field Road and the other on Shanklin Road. In each of those incidents, two mowers were taken bringing the total value of all the stolen equipment to $49,644, according to Jackson. In the April 19 incident, the suspects cut the fence to get into the facility. However, in the Aug. 4 incident, the suspects were able to get inside the Shanklin Road facility with a key and appeared to have keys to the mowers, Beaufort County Administra-
Beaufort loses a ‘bedrock’
Ron Voegeli – staunch advocate for veterans, children – dies at 77 By Mike McCombs
S
ometimes, the word hero is thrown around carelessly. When it is used in connection with Ron Voegeli, however, you would have a hard time finding anyone in Beaufort who found it misappropriated. Ronald “Ron” Lee Voegeli, 77, was laid to rest Tuesday, Jan. 7 in Beaufort National Cemetery with full military honors. He died New Year’s Day in Beaufort Memorial Hospital. He had been dealing with numerous health issues. Beaufort’s veterans and those who work and advocate for the prevention of the abuse of children will feel the loss. They were the causes to which he dedicated his life. We “lost a bedrock of our community in Ron Voegeli who served his country courageously and paid a personal price for the defense of democracy, cared for veterans from all services Ron in need and was a champion Voegeli for providing love and care for abused or about to be abused children,” Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling said in his newsletter. “A national hero, after his military service Ron became a local hero and will be remembered as a legend for helping those who needed what they otherwise may not have received. This is a hard act to follow, but hopefully Ron

1st baby born in Beaufort in 2020 a girl Staff reports Eelie Rae Shimer was the first baby born in Beaufort in 2020. Eelie arrived at the Beaufort Memorial Collins Birthing Center at 2:29 a.m. on Jan. 1, weighing in at 7 lbs., 8 oz. and delivered by Dr. Marlena Masavage. Parents Andy and Crystal
Shimer of St. Helena island recently moved to the Beaufort area after spending several years on the road as traveling therapists. Crystal, an occupational therapist, and Andy, a speech therapist, met through their work in the Virgin Islands and eventually ended up in Alaska. Once they knew Eel-
ie was on her way, the couple decided to find a more permanent residence and chose the Lowcountry. "We looked all over the East Coast for the right place to settle down and raise our family," Andy said. "Beaufort had everything we were looking for." New Year's Day was actually quite busy at the Collins
Birthing Center with two additional Jan. 1 birth days. Pictured here with Eelie (left to right) are Waylon Gombas, who arrived at 3:51 a.m. and Marquise De'Von Bush Jr., who made his entrance at 12:54 p.m. As proud dad Andy Shimer said, "the Roaring '20s are back!”

The exchange of gunfire resulted in the death of Watson, as well as the wounding of the unnamed man and Morgan. Monday afternoon, Sheriff's Office investigators met with a Beaufort County magistrate, who issued warrants for the arrest of Morgan. With the arrest warrants in hand, investigators drove to Morgan's Peaceful Way, Grays Hill, residence. According to investigators, as the lead vehicle approached, they observed Morgan in the yard. When Morgan saw them approaching, he pointed a handgun at their vehicle.
After pointing the handgun, Morgan began to flee on foot. The three investigators in the lead car got out of their vehicle and gave chase, at which time Morgan turned around and again pointed the handgun at them. Morgan then threw the handgun and, after a short foot chase, the investigators were able to apprehend him. No one was injured during the arrest and no shots were fired. Morgan was transported to the Beaufort County Detention Center and incarcerated without further incident, according to the

NEWS & HEALTH Fires claim life of Burton man, critically injure another By Mindy Lucas A New Year’s Day camper fire has claimed the life of a Burton man, officials say. Donald Lawson, 61, of Burton, died after a fire broke out in his camper, Beaufort County Coroner Ed Allen said. Firefighters with the Burton Fire District responded to the blaze at the site on Savannah Highway near Barnyard Road just before 9 a.m. on Jan. 1, according to Captain Dan Byrne with the fire district. Firefighters arriving on the scene found Lawson’s camper fully engulfed but were able to quickly extinguish the fire, Byrne said. Lawson’s body was found in the debris after the fire was extinguished. The Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office and SLED are investigating. The fire follows another critical incident on New Year’s Eve in which a Seabrook man was badly injured. That fire broke out just before 5:30 p.m. at a home on Seabrook Bluff Road, Byrne said. Fire crews from Burton, Sheldon and Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort fought to bring the fire under control. The man suffered critical injuries and had to be taken to an area hospital and was later flown to the Joseph M. Still Burn Center in Augusta. The fire was confined to the kitchen area and is believed to have been caused by cooking, Byrne said.
Ready for a Body Makeover?
New fitness session to begin this month at Beaufort Memorial’s LifeFit Wellness The next session of Body Makeover, Beaufort Memorial LifeFit Wellness Services’ comprehensive weight-management program begins Jan. 20. Designed to create lifelong healthy habits, participants meet to exercise three times weekly in small groups over the course of 12 weeks, with each group led by one of LifeFit’s wellness coaches. “Losing weight isn’t easy, but the payoff for your health can be huge,” said Ricca Callis, a Beaufort Memorial Life Fit Wellness coach. “In order to help folks start the process, we created our Body Makeover program to provide the tools they need to take off the pounds — and keep them off.” The program’s strong focus on nutrition education also means participants receive personalized nutrition plans and counseling, and take part in special events, including cooking demonstrations at Breakwater and a shopping trip to Publix to learn how to choose foods wisely. Maybe most importantly, participants also have the opportunity to build relationships with their coach-
es and other participants, creating a community of health-minded individuals within LifeFit. “To keep participants motivated, the program is set up as a friendly competition where teams earn points for attending classes and events, reducing inches, improving their fitness
performance and keeping a food log,” said Callis, who designed and helps administer the Body Makeover program at Beaufort Memorial. “It culminates with a final fitness challenge and awards banquet.” The results are in from the most recent session, which ended in Novem-
ber, and they’re impressive. Thanks to the structure, motivation, accountability and personal attention the program provided, participants were able to decrease blood pressure, total cholesterol, LDL, triglycerides and blood glucose levels. What’s more (or less, depending on how you look at it), they also lost up to 21 pounds, 18 total inches and 9.2 percent body fat. The group ranged in age from 33 to 80, and included 11 community members and seven Beaufort Memorial employees. Most were participating for the first time, but two were “veterans,” back for another round of the program. All fitness levels were represented, from brand-new exercisers to recreational athletes, as the program is designed for everyone to be able to participate. If you want help meeting your weight-loss and fitness goals, call Beaufort Memorial LifeFit at 843-5225635 or email Ricca Callis at RCallis@ bmhsc.org or David Purser at CPurser@bmhsc.org for more information and to register.

touched so many lives. The many of us he gently touched will follow in his footsteps helping others in our community and beyond. Thanks to his wife Sandy
and his many friends for sharing this brave, huge hearted gentleman who made an everlasting mark in our community.” Even those who didn’t know Voegeli likely encountered him around town. He could be found having his weekly Thursday morning support meeting with veterans at the Hardees on Ribault Road. Or in small businesses or public spaces around town encouraging veterans to fill out their Veterans Administration paperwork so that they might rightly receive the benefits they had earned in the service of their country. “He has been a good friend and a buddy,” Disabled American Veterans Chapter 12 Commander Chris Swan said. “He was always looking out for us. Every organization wanted to have him. But his biggest focus was the veteran.” Voegeli served Beaufort’s DAV chapter in every official
Mowers from page A1
tor Ashley Jacobs said. Jacobs said the county has a surveillance video of that break-in which shows the suspects wearing some type of clothing similar to hazmat or painters coveralls with hoods to disguise their identities. They also seemed to know their way around the
capacity up through Commander. At the time of his death, he was serving as the chapter’s Adjutant/Treasurer. He held several positions at the state level and progressed as far as 1st Junior Vice Commander nationally. According to Swan, Voegeli was likely in line to ascend to the role of National Commander before serious health issues slowed him down. Still, he served as a member of the National Committee. But Voegeli’s focus was
local. He tried to help as many veterans as he could in his own backyard. He was personally responsible for enlisting the vast majority of DAV Chapter 12’s 1,700 members. He was responsible for the chapter’s Volunteer Transportation Network and he organized and started the Christmas Food Box. Wreathes Across America, Beaufort Charities, the Adaptive Golf Program, the American Legion – all were causes
by sister organizations he took pride in supporting. And placing flags on the markers of fallen veterans on Veterans Day was an honor. But his two big habits were standing up for others who had no one to stand for them – veterans who died with no immediate family were guaranteed to receive a proper burial ceremony – and making sure veterans had all the help they needed when filling out paperwork and applying for VA benefits.
Voegeli spent hours counseling veterans and hours on the road when veterans couldn’t come to him … or didn’t know they wanted or needed to. There may have been no cause closer to Voegeli’s heart than veterans, but if there was a close second, it was children, particularly the ones for which Beaufort’s Child Abuse Prevention Association (CAPA) cared. Voegeli, according the organization’s Facebook post, was a “devout CAPA volunteer, donor, advocate, auction chairperson, and long-serving board member.” “He was extremely involved. He never turned away a child. He always wanted to rock the babies in the shelter. And he ran our auction for 30 years,” CAPA Director of Development Jessica Chapman said. “He was a huge supporter of CAPA. He coordinated our flag events and our ceremonial disposals. He never told us, ‘no.’ He personally gave
facility, she said. “They walked right up to (the mowers). They knew where they were and where the cameras were,” she said. Major Bob Bromage, spokesman for the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office, said no arrests have been made in any of the incidents yet. The sheriff’s office is investigating three of the four incidents while the April 4 incident falls under the jurisdiction of the City of
Beaufort police, he said. Asked if investigators were looking at the Aug. 4 incident, or any of the other incidents, as being an inside job, Bromage said it was too early to tell. “Until we’re able to identify suspects, it is premature to say,” he said. A connection among the incidents is being considered since there is a pattern of lawn mowers stolen, he said. Since the thefts occurred,
the county has undergone a security risk assessment with the assistance of the sheriff’s office and has taken measures to tighten security, Jacobs said. This included replacing padlocks with combination locks, installing security lighting, and installing “proprietary” key switches for all mowing equipment, meaning each piece of equipment has its own key. The county has also installed new cantilever
security gates, new security cameras and card readers. In addition, the county is reviewing employee records of all employees who worked at the facilities. Jacobs said she feels the stepped-up security measures are working since it has been six months since an incident has occurred. “We aren’t going to have a work environment and a culture where we don’t have adequate security measures

us support for anything we needed. In return we tried to do the same for him.” Voegeli enlisted in the U.S. Marines in August of 1960, serving in the 1st Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division in Vietnam from 1969 to 1971, according to a DAV statement. He later served as a drill instructor at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island before an assignment to Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort as an administrative chief with the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing until his retirement as a gunnery sergeant in 1980. His awards and decorations included the Navy Achievement Medal with a combat “V.” “He never did anything small and his heart loved large. This community is a little dimmer today without him in it,” CAPA posted on Facebook. “Our thoughts and prayers are with Sandy, his children, and the rest of his family and friends.” and we don’t take theft seriously,” said Jacobs, who started working for the county in April. “We’re entrusted with public funds to purchase equipment, and it’s critical that we protect and secure these assets,” she said. The string of thefts are the only incidents involving lawn mowers going back five years. Insurance claims have been filed and the equipment has since been replaced.
Who Is Jesus?
Did George Washington Exist? Jesus as a Historical Figure
We know with certainty that George Washington existed. Even though we were not alive over two hundred years ago to see him with our own eyes, there is no doubt that Washington is a historical figure. We can read his writings, view his portraits, and visit his estate at Mount Vernon. But even if he had not left behind such items, we could still know of his existence due to the testimony of his contemporaries and by his impact on history. Similarly, we know with certainty that Jesus existed. We were not alive two thousand years ago to experience his ministry or hear his preaching, but there is no doubt that Jesus is a historical figure. Unlike our first president, Jesus did not leave behind letters or a number of personal belongings. But we can still be certain of his existence, thanks to the testimony of his contemporaries and his tremendous impact on history.
Those who knew Jesus recorded their memories of him. Matthew and John were both apostles, men who had spent three years with Jesus and observed every aspect of his ministry. Mark is believed to have written his Gospel in Rome, recording the memories of the apostle Peter. Luke wrote his Gospel from eyewitness accounts. Thanks to the four Gospel writers, we have four portraits of the life, words, and actions of Jesus, all written within the lifetime of those who knew him personally. In Paul’s letters, we have very early testimony about Jesus. Paul was a Jewish leader who persecuted the first Christians. After having a conversion experience, he became convinced that Jesus truly was God and became a Christian himself. Although he never met Jesus during his ministry, he personally knew many of the apostles and other eyewitnesses. Many of his letters are preserved as part of the New Testament. These are some of the earliest writings about Jesus, beginning about twenty years after his death and resurrection. Even without Christian writings, we’d know much about Jesus. The Jewish historian Josephus and the Roman historian Tacitus both make important references to Jesus in their works, written in the late first century and early second century respectively. From such nonChristian sources alone, we could identify key aspects of his life: Jesus was a Jewish teacher with a large following; many considered him to be the messiah; he was crucified by Pontius Pilate at the instigation of Jewish leaders; worship of him began to spread quickly throughout the Roman Empire. There can be no doubt that Jesus truly existed. His life is not vaguely placed, as in a children’s tale, “a long time ago in a land far away.” He lived in first-century Israel, every bit as real as George Washington. His brief life caused a great number of people to leave behind their traditional religious beliefs and start to live as Christians, even in the face of persecution and martyrdom.

FROM FISHING TO FOOTBALL, THE HARD WORK OF ALL ATHLETES DESERVES RECOGNITION

Beaufort’s Ron Parker announces retirement from NFL

By Justin Jarrett LowcoSports.com The Ghost is hanging up his cleats. Beaufort’s Ron Parker announced his retirement from professional football via social media Monday morning, bringing an official end to an unlikely NFL career. “Who would (have) ever thought little old me coming from Newberry College would play that long in the NFL?,” Parker said in his message posted across social media. “I don’t know (anybody) who left D2 early as a junior in college and went on to play at the next level and do it for that long.” Indeed, Parker’s journey was unconventional. Mostly overlooked coming out of Beaufort High School, Parker landed at Independence Community College in Kansas looking to get his academic credentials in order in hopes of scoring a big-time college scholarship before winding up at Newberry. He was a standout for the Wolves,
but NFL scouts don’t pay a lot of mind to middling NCAA Division II programs, so The Ghost continued to go mostly undetected. The Seattle Seahawks took a chance on Parker as an undrafted free agent in 2011, but he spent two years bouncing between franchises and fighting to earn a promotion from the practice squad to the active roster. He appeared in just five games in 2011 — three with the Oakland Raiders and two with the Seahawks — and five more in 2012, split between the Seahawks and Carolina Panthers. Then came the call from Kansas City, and his first big break. Parker joined the Chiefs in 2013 and played in all 16 games, starting one. He was a solid contributor who picked off two passes and recovered three fumbles in limited action, and his efforts resulted in a starting role in 2014 for legendary coach Andy Reid’s team. After starting 15 games and playing 96 percent of the Chiefs’ defen-
BASKETBALL ROUND UP
GIRLS Huebel hits another milestone as BA beats HHP
By Wes Kerr LowcoSports.com Amelia Huebel had already scored over 1,000 points for Beaufort Academy, but on Friday night she locked down yet another remarkable milestone. Huebel passed the 1,000 career rebound mark as the Beaufort Academy girls opened region play with a 43-34 win at Hilton Head Prep. “She’s been the heart of the program,” BA coach Amelia Lillian Aldred said. Huebel “This is her fifth year with us. She works hard and shows amazing leadership. You can’t ask more of her on or off the court.” The senior led the way with 19 points and 17 rebounds against the Dolphins, while Tahleea Heyward impressed with 12 points, and Emily Ann Hiers added eight. The Dolphins did an excellent job on Mike’Ala Washington, holding her to just three on the night. The home team certainly battled, starting off the game on a 7-1 run
Area hoops fans will be able to catch 10 games featuring eight different schools on WHHI-TV starting next week. WHHI’s High School Basketball Series presented by Hargray tips off its 11th season when Beaufort High hosts May River on Tuesday, Jan. 7. The series also will feature Hilton Head High at Bluffton on Jan. 14, Beaufort Academy at John and responding well to several second-half surges from BA. Ella Clark put up 15 points and Haylee Hopman added five. Huebel was proud of the journey it took to reach the 1,000-board mark. “It’s unreal,” she said. “I don’t think many people have gotten here before. The fact that each rebound counts as just one compared to scoring two or three points at a time is very cool.” A ceremony celebrating the achievement will be held on Friday, Jan. 10, at 9:30 a.m. in the BA gym.

Eagles finish third at Chief Classic
Beaufort High wrestling went 3-1 to finish third among eight teams at the North Myrtle Beach Chief Classic on Saturday. The Eagles went 2-1 in pool play, beating Stratford (54-21) and Fairfield Central (70-6) and losing to eventual champion Carolina Forest (44-33). They then trounced Loris
70-12 in the third-place match. Michael Cenci, John Legree, Degin Lowery, Gary Bayne, Jaidon Fu, Ryley King, Adam Burvenich, and James Dagin each picked up wins against Stratford, while Jeremiah Simmons, Legree, Lowery, Colton Phares, Dagin, and Cenci all recorded wins against Carolina Forest. Bayne, Tayriq Legree, Fu, Matthew Durrance, Phares, Burvenich, and Dagin were winners in the Fair-

The games will air on tape-delay, with the boys games airing Wednesdays at 7:30 p.m., Saturdays at noon, and Sundays at 6 p.m. The girls games will air Thursdays at 4 p.m. and Sundays at 10 a.m. defeated. Mike’Ala Washington poured in 26 points, Tahleea Heyward added 17, and Amelia Huebel had 11 to lead a balanced attack for the Eagles. Mary Hanna Hiers contributed eight points.
BOYS BA boys fall on the road
Beaufort Academy’s boys got off to a slow start and were unable to recover in a 59-44 loss at Andrew Jackson Academy on Saturday. Dawson Coleman scored 18 points to go with seven rebounds, but the rest of the Eagles had a tough time finding their shot as BA finished 3-for-21 from 3-point range. Thomas Holliday pulled down 11 rebounds, and Elijah Fess had six points and

sive snaps in 2014, Parker was rewarded with a five-year, $25 million contract with Kansas City, which ended up taking him through the end of his career when the team waived him following the 2018 season. “Coach Reid will go down in my book for one of the greatest to do it,” Parker said in his social media post. “This man believed in me when no one else did. Can’t thank (him) enough for what an unbelievable career I had.” In all, Parker played in 105 NFL games over eight seasons, starting 78. He finished with 394 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, eight sacks, 11 interceptions (one touchdown), five forced fumbles, and five fumble recoveries. And one heck of a story to tell. “Nobody could walk a mile in my shoes on the route I had to take for success,” Parker said. “I’ll walk that same path and change nothing if I could do it again. Thank you, God, for a healthy and blessed career.”

Cyclones too much for Warriors
The Whale Branch boys couldn’t keep pace with a powerhouse Porter-Gaud team on Saturday, losing 55-44 to the host Cyclones in the inaugural Phenom Hoops Lowcountry Showcase. Mason Grant scored 21 points, and Jett Kirshtein added 11 to lead the Cyclones, who led just 17-14 after one quarter but extended the margin to 11 by halftime. Nick Pringle and Shawn Chisolm each scored 14 points, and Shemar Williams added eight to lead the Warriors.
gles with nine, sinking three triples. The Dolphins led by 13 at halftime and kept rolling through the second half. Calloway, the star of the night, put up 28 points to lead all scorers. Luke Foley was Prep’s key rebounder, and the duo of Max Marko and Kane Eanes was productive off the bench. McDonald scored seven in limited action.
Warriors outlast Chapin in 2OT
With second-leading scorer Stone McDonald limited in action, the Hilton Head Prep boys dug deep and followed Tyrone Calloway to a statement 49-32 home win over Beaufort Academy to begin region play Friday. “We knew it was going to be a defensive battle,” Calloway said. “We wanted to limit Dawson Coleman, and that’s what won us this game.” Coleman was limited to just seven points, while Elijah Fess led the Ea-
The Whale Branch boys picked up an impressive victory on a neutral court Friday, outlasting Class 5A Chapin 63-62 in double overtime in the Goose Creek Showcase. Nick Pringle scored 23 points, including a pair of free throws with three seconds left to help seal the victory. Shawn Chisolm added 17 and Shemar Williams had nine for the Warriors. The Eagles missed two free throws that would have tied it with four seconds remaining, then Pringle knocked down two foul shots to extend the margin to 63-59 before Chapin hit a buzzer beater from beyond halfcourt for the final margin. Pringle was able to stretch the floor with three 3-pointers and open up the paint for Chisolm, but the Eagles kept pace thanks to 23 points from Maddux Harrell.
The Dolphins finished 15th out of 22 teams from South Carolina and Georgia. Freshman Sam Degroat led the way with a second-place finish at 106 pounds, earning a firstround bye, a pin, and a decision before falling to Greenwood’s Carter Anderson in the finals. Sophomore Bradley Smith also had a strong showing, going 2-2 to finish fourth at 126 pounds. Smith pinned his first two opponents be-
fore dropping his next two matches. Senior Johan Linares rounded out the Dolphins’ placers with a fifthplace finish at 132. After splitting his first two matches, Linares won three straight in the consolation bracket to finish 4-1 on the weekend and place fifth. Derek Ray (120) went 2-2, and Larson McManigle (145) and Riley Doray (113) each picked up one victory for the Dolphins.

Four-legged fire investigator Sam to encourage young readers The Burton Fire District and State Farm Insurance have teamed up to help local schools encourage reading and improve reading skills with Investigator Sam’s Reading Program. One Friday each month, for up to one hour at each of the four elementary schools in the Burton Fire District, Investigator Sam will be an attentive listener for students
to read to in order to encourage reading and improve reading skills. Over the past two years the Burton Fire District and the Beaufort County School District have partnered to provide safety programs for their students; from fire and seat belt safety to the JACOB Kit program, Burton firefighters and teachers have been working together to improve the
quality of life for students and their families. Burton fire officials state that Sam’s Reading Program is just another way to accomplish that. “In working with our teachers, one of the main things they kept telling us is the challenge of getting children to read, and the obvious importance of students having strong reading skills in order succeed and achieve in all as-
pects of school,” Captain Daniel Byrne, Burton’s Community Support Officer, said. “So, with this program we want to support our schools and teachers in their job as educators, just as they support us with safety.” Byrne says that after talking with teachers who stated that students will often be more motivate to read to an animal because they feel more
comfortable and less self-conscious, he approached State Farm Insurance, who sponsors Sam and his training, and asked if they would also support a reading program with Sam in the schools. State Farm readily agreed. “Everything grows from a solid education,” Byrne said. “Injuries, illness, fires and accidents also parallel economic and educational statistics.
The lower economic and education levels are, the more elevated that community is to risk, so not only do we hope to support teachers in educating our children, but this program also fits into our comprehensive risk reduction programs by attacking a root cause.” The program started Dec. 20. The remaining dates are Jan. 17, Feb. 21, March 20, April 24, May 22.

It seems miniature golf came to SC and the Democrats left
I
t is Saturday, and I’m on the 11th floor of the Avista Resort in North Myrtle Beach. North Myrtle Beach was once called Ocean Drive Beach and was a destination for tobacco farmers and small town bankers who had made enough money to rent a cottage for two weeks in June. These were World War II veterans from Rockingham, Kinston and Rocky Mount, N.C., who had made enough money to the sit on the beach with their wives and watch their children swim in the surf. But, in time, these newly prosperous folks would tire of the beach; of playing bingo at the beach-side pavilion; of making sure their daughters got back from the Pad (a dancing joint) with their virtue intact. These folks wanted more than a day in the sun followed by the Captain’s Platter in Calabash. In the late 1960s, local
SCOTT GRABER
entrepreneurs — sensing a shift away from nighttime Bingo and bumper cars — decided there was money in miniature golf. At first these courses were little more than indoor/outdoor carpet bordered by two by fours. Then these young men discovered Fiberglas. In May of 1975, I was living in Beaufort County but writing for a magazine called Osceola. In an effort to better understand what was called Putt-Putt, I pitched a story to the editor of this irreverent, statewide publication. “No. 7 (at Jungle Golf) is an interesting hole that includes a waterfall, a giraffe
and three baby elephants, but does not, in my opinion, present the challenge offered by No. 10. No. 10 presents several routes to the cup. What appears to be the most direct (through a cluster of rocks) is probably the most difficult. The less direct routes are more predictable (sensible), but one loses the opportunity for a hole-in-one. Does one play the percentages or attack, hell-for-leather, the thing in a frontal assault?” In those days, Osceola was in the business of attacking the General Assembly with probing, largely critical coverage of the ‘legislation’ undertaken in Columbia. Earlier (in 1974) a young reformer had tried to take over the Democratic Party but the South Carolina Supreme Court decided that Charles “Pug” Ravenel was a non-resident. “Wacky Golf (several locations along the Grand
Strand) can be easily identified by the large fiberglass volcano that appears to be a standard feature of the chain. These courses are somewhat beyond the writer’s ability at description. However I will comment on two holes that deserve comment. One hole involves a small church through which one must play. Don’t be distracted by the quotation above the door – “I am happy to enter the house of the Lord” – or the 6-foot rabbit nearby. Concentration is the point here. A second hole involves a ramp that leads to the belly of a kangaroo. If you are fortunate your shot will enter the plastic pouch, and then emerge from the animal’s tail. Not anatomically correct, but an automatic hole-in-one.” The Supreme Court appeal that questioned Ravenel’s residency was brought by a retired restaurant owner and a radio per-
sonality — and Democrats claimed the suit was funded by Republicans. However, there was always the suspicion that appeal originated with Democratic, old boy establishment, who were threatened by Ravenel’s determination to reform and reshape their party. “Pirate Golf (Ocean Drive Beach) and Gator Golf (Myrtle Beach) are not in the same league as Jungle or Wacky Golf, but each provide an hour of pleasant, if unremarkable play. Likewise Circus Golf, on Ocean Drive,, is a distinct notch below the aforementioned Jungle and Wacky golf. However, there is one course near Pirateland that features a sort of free-form concrete sculpture. These elongated concrete forms are only props (not actually incorporated into the course) but do provide a bizarre, Alice in Wonderland-like environment for
the enthusiast. Pug Ravenel’s removal took young voters — their energy and enthusiasm — out of the race and gave a Republican, James Edwards, a shot at the office. In that election our own Brantley Harvey beat Carroll Campbell for Lt. Governor, but the excitement that was essential for a Democratic gubernatorial victory vanished. Many believe this was the beginning of the end for Democrats in South Carolina. And in a few years Democrats would be swept from every statewide office. While I was happily writing about kangaroos, rabbits and baby elephants, the Democratic Party was ceding reform and renewal to the Republicans. One wonders if the Democrats will ever return.

All I saw on the rental agent’s face was ‘OK, Boomer!’

y spouse was standing at the airport car rental desk when I heard him say, “NO!!” I knew right away what had happened. The agent had just upgraded him to a brand-new, never-driven-before 2020 SUV. The upgrade was only provided because there were seriously, no other cars left on the lot. I understood my spouse’s reaction immediately. The average age of our vehicles is 7 years.

er science degree. It has a key to turn in the ignition. The radio has a tuning button so when we travel, we can find local stations. Now, allow me to digress here for a moment and explain to you the look
on the rental agent’s face when dealing with my spouse’s reaction. You see, we are members of the Baby Boomer generation. And we have been told that when a Baby Boomer is not responding well to the wonders of the 21st century, then the younger generation says “OK, Boomer!” It is recognition that we were born and raised in the last millennium. All I could see on that rental car agent’s face was “OK, Boomer!” Naturally, we took the car and went out with the
key fob. As we stood there looking at the 2020 vehicle, we realized there was no obvious way to open the tail gate to load our bags. So, we got in the car and I looked for the manual. No manual. We have found this in many of these rental cars because, I guess, they are afraid the people are going to steal the manual. I got my iPad out and started to look for things, like turning on the navigational system, windshield wiper operation, defroster and, finally, how big was the gas tank. Yes, it had one of those
empty-full gauges, but we wanted to know the actual size. In the meantime, my spouse discovered the flat instrument panel on the dashboard, but there was nothing intuitive about how to work it. Then as we were getting settled in, my spouse said, “I do not know how to put this car in reverse.” I thought he was kidding, but he was not. We looked at the “P” for Park and “D” for drive, but no “R.” After a few minutes, he realized that at the top of the gear knob there was an
arrow and an “R.” The reverse worked like my old stick shift car. Press down, slide to the left, and bump forward, and you are in reverse. Eureka! As we drove off, my husband asked, “Did you find the 8-track player yet?” “OK, Boomer,” I replied. Lee Scott, a writer and recent retiree, shares her everyday observations about life after career.

Coastal Stage presents DOUBT – A Parable
ART BRIEF
2nd date added for movie Harriet at USC Beaufort
Coastal Stage Productions’ 2020 opener, DOUBT – A Parable will be presented live onstage, Jan. 24 through Feb. 2 at Coastal Stage at AMVETS at 1831 Ribaut Rd. in Port Royal. Set in 1964, this Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winning drama about authority, suspicion, and religion, examines the moral uncertainties of the human heart, through the structure and example of the Catholic faith. In this drama, Sister Aloysius, (Gail Westerfield) a Bronx school principal, takes matters into her own hands when she suspects the elder priest Father Flynn (Brooke Pearson) of improper relations with one of her male students. In her zealous quest
Harriet, the featured movie Monday, Jan. 13 for the Movie Night at the USC Beaufort Center For The Arts, is sold out. So a second showing has been added for Tuesday, Jan. 14 at 801 Carteret Street. Based on the thrilling and inspirational life of an iconic American freedom fighter, Harriet tells the extraordinary tale of Harriet Tubman’s escape from slavery and transformation into one of America’s greatest heroes. Her courage, ingenuity, and tenacity freed hundreds of slaves and changed the course of history. Tickets are available at https://www.uscbcenterforthearts.com/.
Gail Westerfield, Julie Seibold and Brooke Pearson as Sister Aloysius, Sister James and Father Flynn, respectively, in DOUBT – A Parable.

Newsday.
to prove his guilt, she desperately balances her suspicions on the thin line between truth and consequence. The powerful drama of Doubt is brilliantly balanced by the innocence of Sister James (Julie Seibold) as she struggles with her observation of the events, and
the desperate plight of Mrs. Muller, (Paulette Edwards) the mother of the male student. Director Luke Cleveland said, “Coastal’s production of Doubt, set in our intimate black-box performance venue, will closely draw the audience to witness the inner-
most part of the unfolding events, as battle lines are drawn, allegiances formed and motives called into question. Don’t miss this amazing event.” The production is directed by Luke Cleveland with assistance by Gigi Pingree. Performances are at 8 p.m.
Fridays and Saturdays, with 2 p.m. matinees on Sundays. An Opening Night VIP Event (Catered by The Kitchen) will be held at 7 p.m. Jan 24. Reserved Tickets for all shows are $20-$25. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit www.CoastalStage. com or call 843-717-2175.
