COVERING BEAUFORT COUNTY
Cunningham tours Beaufort’s National Historic Monument By Mindy Lucas U.S. Rep. Joe Cunningham toured several Reconstruction Era National Historical Park sites in Beaufort on Tuesday, July 2, as part of a scheduled visit that included a group of student journalists. About 20 people, including volunteers, park staff and a group of area students, gathered at the park’s visitor cen-
ter in the Old Beaufort Firehouse on Carteret Street for the tour’s kickoff. Formerly known as the Reconstruction Era National Monument, the site, which includes four properties throughout Beaufort County, was re-designated a national historical park in 2017 by then President Barack Obama. Cunningham, who worked
with U.S. Rep. James Clyburn on the legislation to rename and expand the park, spoke for about 25 minutes, while the students shot video as part of an educational program associated with the project. The Congressman reflected on the period in time, sometimes referred to as the most misunderstood period

Stanley seeks funding for Pan Ams
2019 BEAUFORT WATER FESTIVAL
Being a world-class athlete sometimes comes with an otherworldly price tag. Beaufort weightlifter Dade Stanley, fresh off sweeping gold at the USA Weightlifting Youth National Championships in Anaheim, California, needs a hand paying his way to represent Team USA at the 2019 Youth Pan American Championships in Ecuador next month. The trip is one that has been funded by Team USA in most years, but because of preparation for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, the Youth Pan Ams trip is self-funded this year. That means Stanley and his coach, Team Beaufort founder Ray Jones, are paying for their airfare, lodging, meals, and other expenses out of pocket. “If you know me, you know I’m not one to ask for handouts. I’m generally the one giving them,” Stanley’s mother, Missy Moberly, wrote on a GoFundMe page aimed at raising $4,000 to help cover the costs. “But, this time, I need a little assistance!” Stanley started lifting as something to do after school, but he quickly emerged as an elite talent, winning multiple national titles and breaking youth American records. He swept silver at the 2019 Youth World Championships to help Team USA claim the team title and earlier this month swept gold at the Youth National Championships. “We would be forever grateful for any help getting Dade and Coach Ray to Ecuador to represent Beaufort, South Carolina, and the USA next month,” Moberly wrote on GoFundMe. “It’s not every day you are selected to represent your country and proudly wear the American flag on your chest!” To donate, visit www.gofundme.com/Dade-Stanley-Weightlifter or donate through Venmo to @ Dade-Stanley-Weightlifter.

FOR THE COMMUNITY Organizers hope to avoid bad weather that plagued last year’s event
By Mindy Lucas The 64th Annual Beaufort Water Festival kicks off Friday with all the pomp and circumstance of one of the state’s oldest and most venerable festivals. Completely organized and run by an all-volunteer staff, the Water Festival features 10 days of music, art and family-fun activities. From the hilarious and must-see-to-believe hospital bed races, to one of the most spectacular fireworks shows in the region, the festival serves up a variety of Ameri-
HONORING HERITAGE
cana event goers aren’t likely to find anywhere else. Commodore Brian Patrick said he and organizers are particularly proud of this year’s theme, “For the Community, By the Community.” “We really wanted to high- Schedule light the fact that Complete the festival is for line up of the community, events, A6 and everyone who puts it on is truly your neighbors, local law enforcement, military, our sponsors, all volunteers – everyone is from this communi-
ty, and of course the people we put it on for,” Patrick said. And while Patrick said they obviously don’t have any control of the weather, they hoped to avoid a repeat of last year, when heavy rainfall caused organizers to cancel some performances and postpone the opening night’s fireworks show for several days. With that in mind, Patrick said festival goers won’t want to miss the opening night ceremonies complete with The Parris Island Marine Band and fireworks at dusk on Friday.
LET FREEDOM RING!
Another crowd favorite is Saturday’s Concert in the Park. This year’s headliner is country music singer/ songwriter Tyler Farr. Farr’s most recent album, Suffer In Peace, released in 2015, debuted in the top five on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart, and before that his album Redneck Crazy, released in 2013, made No. 2 on the Billboard Country Albums Chart and No. 5 on the Billboard Top 200, making Farr the only solo male country artist in the last 10 years whose first two studio albums

Bikers for Trump leader joins race for Cunningham’s seat Chris Cox, the Mount Pleasant man who founded the group Bikers for Trump, announced in a Facebook post Sunday evening that he is running for the First Congressional District seat currently held by Joe Cunningham. “Sometimes we find ourselves at a crossroads and other times we put ourselves at a crossroads,” Cox said in his statement on the group’s Facebook page. “… I couldn’t be more proud of the friends and patriots I served beside in our successful 2016 effort to
elect and, now, our 2020 effort to re-elect President Donald Trump. Now, in my effort to continue to support President Trump and our great country, I am stepping things up. “After the 2018 election, I returned home to Lowcountry of South Carolina, disappointed in the election of a liberal Democrat to represent me and my neighbors in Congress. So, to continue my fight to support President Trump and his agenda, I am announcing my run for the First Congressional District

of South Carolina.” Cox has never run for office but has worked for former Vice President Dan Quayle and N.C. Senator Elizabeth Dole. He joins a crowded race for the Republican bid to oust Cunningham. In addition to local candidates Mike Covert, a Beaufort County Councilman and business owner, and Logan Cunningham, a Beaufort County teacher, Mount Pleasant Town Councilwoman Kathy Landing and state Rep. Nancy Mace are also in the running.

“WesternGeco’s proposed seismic airgun blasting activities would violate our coastal management program and policies, which are vital to protecting the Lowcountry’s vibrant natural resources,” Cunningham said in a statement. “DHEC’s decision that WesternGeco’s application for a seismic testing permit is inconsistent with the policies of these programs is a key decision in the fight against offshore drilling and seismic airgun blasting. A diverse group of voices made their opposition to the issuance
of seismic testing permits known – including over 1700 individual public comments – and it’s obvious our state heard them loud and clear. I applaud DHEC for taking into account the views of South Carolinians and Lowcountry residents.” “The state of South Carolina has ruled on our side, but we also need federal action. I urge Congress to pass my bill, H.R. 1941, which would permanently ban offshore drilling off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, as soon as possible.”

area surrounding Sharp's home and his dock, but were unable to locate him. Deputies called for the Sheriff's Office Aviation Unit — helicopter — to respond and assist in the search. Within minutes, the Aviation Unit's helicopter was in flight over the Lucy Creek area, where its tactical flying officer and pilot observed a human body submerged in the water in proximity to Sharp’s dock. The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources
(SCDNR) was notified and responded with one of its boats. SCDNR personnel recovered the body of an adult male — identified a short time later as David Sharp by the Beaufort County Coroner's Office — from Lucy Creek. Initially, there were no indications of foul play in the disappearance/death of Sharp. A forensic autopsy was to be performed at the Medical University of South Carolina to aid in the determination of the cause of Sharp's death.

Cunningham supports SC DHEC seismic testing ruling U.S. Rep. Joe Cunningham, who represents the First Congressional District of S.C., released a statement Monday, July 8 in response to the S.C. Department of Health & Environmental Control’s (DHEC) decision that concluded seismic testing permits from WesternGeco in federal waters off of South Carolina are not consistent with the policies of the S.C. Coastal Management Program. Cunningham had previously sent a letter to DHEC expressing his strong opposition to WesternGeco’s application.

from page A1 portant to tell it in an objective way and in an honest way that this is where we’ve come from, but this is where we’re going.” In addition to the Old Beaufort Firehouse, the group toured Darrah Hall and the Brick Church on the grounds of the historic Penn Center on St. Helena Island. Camp Saxton in Port Royal, is part of the park’s listed sites, but not currently open to the public. With the help of more than 100 local, regional and na-
tional advisors, Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling has spearheaded the project’s outreach in Beaufort. Keyserling said one of the advisory group’s first areas of focus has been to develop educational components, such as the Story Catchers program which brought the students to the Old Firehouse on Tuesday. The group wanted to do something “organic”, he said, that would help take the lessons of Reconstruction across South Carolina and beyond. “Teaching students the untold story of the second founding of America will serve as the model to help
transform the country with lessons that started here in Beaufort,” Keyserling said. The program, which teaches students real-world journalism and documentary-style skills, will equip students with the ability to share and pass on the area’s history to others. The group recently made a 60-minute documentary featuring a play about Harriett Tubman that was researched, written and performed by Beaufort Middle School students. The initiative will also include a “Teaching the Teachers” program with the first session to start beginning July 17 in Beaufort. Teachers
who attend the program will be presented with a new curriculum along with ideas on teaching Reconstruction. The initiative’s educational programs are just the launch pad for national and even international study, Keyserling said. In addition, the group is working to build a network of other Reconstruction-era sites or possible sites across the region that will enhance and help tell the story of Reconstruction and its impact on American history. “One of the things we’re all challenged with, is while putting so much focus on Beaufort, we don’t get to say it all
happened in Beaufort,” Keyserling said. “But all of these things will serve as the pilot program and each of the pieces are now in place and are working.” John Flemming, a rising junior at Beaufort High School, was one of eight students that followed Cunningham on Tuesday, documenting the event. Flemming said his family has lived in Beaufort for multiple generations. He was particularly excited to learn of Beaufort’s own Robert Smalls. “It makes me feel connected to my hometown,” he said. Born into slavery, Smalls stole a Confederate boat,
sailed it past Charleston’s forts and turned it over to Union forces. “There are so many good people here,” said Flemming. “Some aspects (of the era) are obviously a real blemish on our history, but you have to take the good with the bad – like Robert Smalls. He is a great American who came from Beaufort.” Others who spoke to the tour group included National Park Service Superintendent Scott Teodorski, Board and Interim Director for the Penn Center, Marion Burns, and Michael Allen, a 32-year veteran of the National Park Service.
Cunningham discusses Reconstruction, ‘kitchen table’ issues and the latest on offshore drilling By Mindy Lucas On his recent visit to tour Reconstruction-era sites in Beaufort, U.S. Rep. Joe Cunningham gave a one-on-one interview to The Island News. The Congressman, who comes to Beaufort “at least once a month” where he has an office, discussed his visit along with the issues that are of importance to Beaufort residents. Now that you have toured these sites, what do you take away from what you saw and heard? Cunningham: I think the key is preserving history and making sure we tell the history and not to politicize history, but tell it in an honest fashion even when it’s sometimes uncomfortable. I was proud to work with the majority whip Clyburn in making sure the Reconstruction Era National Monument was incorporated into the National Park System. It’s been afforded all the protections that that gives it, and I think it’s a long time coming. I’ve been fortunate to be able to sponsor and co-sponsor so much legislation that’s already passed the house, and

Have you had in critics or naysayers that have asked, “Why devote so much time or resources to this initia-
tive?” or “Why is it important to learn about Reconstruction?” Cunningham: No, and I think it’s an important chapter of our country’s history and what we went through, both
the Reconstruction period and also the Redemption era, the period right after that. The roles (those periods) played in the transformation of our country and the scars our country has from the Civil
War and from Reconstruction and identifying those and learning more about them are important. Just like today, the children here coming to learn about it, every public school system around should learn about the Reconstruction period, and the role this era specifically played in American history. It will enrich us so and it’s important to pass that on to our children. In terms of Reconstruction but more broadly race relations in the country, what are your constituents here in Beaufort and the Lowcountry telling you is important to them and what are some of the other issues they want addressed? Cunningham: Obviously that’s an important issue that we continue to address but the “kitchen table” issues that we hear the most about are reducing the price of prescription drugs. We are proud to have passed nine pieces of bipartisan legislation that take down the cost of prescription drugs. Taking care of our veterans (is another). (My district) has a huge veteran community especially down here in Beau-
fort, so we are proud to get the funds needed to take care of our veterans, but also taking care of the military as well. We got over $30 million for the redevelopment of the (livefire training) range for Parris Island. That wasn’t in President Trump’s budget, but it’s something we fought for and we got, and we’ve been delivering those results back to people here in the Lowcountry. What is the latest on the bill you filed to ban offshore oil drilling and seismic testing off the coast of South Carolina? Cunningham: So that’s just fulfilling promises we made. We didn’t go out and just make a whole bunch of promises. I was very narrow in talking about the things I wanted to accomplish. I think that’s why people are tired of politicians, because they just promise them everything. I said, “I want to go up there and ban offshore drilling.” We had the bill and it passed out of committee. We’re going to bring it to the house floor later this summer, and we’re going to pass it. And so we’re doing exactly what we told people we were going to do.

Beaufort Memorial starts physiciansupervised weight loss program To help meet the high demand for weight loss programs in the Lowcountry, Beaufort Memorial Hospital has launched Healthy Weight, a physician-supervised service designed to help overweight patients drop unwanted pounds and keep them off. The goal is to achieve and maintain a healthy weight to reduce the risk of overweightand obesity-associated conditions, including Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, stroke, osteoarthritis, sleep apnea and some cancers. Led by board-certified obesity medicine specialist Dr. Yvette-Marie Pellegrino of Beaufort Memorial Lady’s Island Internal Medicine, Healthy Weight takes a holistic approach to weight loss, focusing on nutrition, exercise, behavior and medication. “This is not your typical cookie-cutter weight loss program,” Pellegrino said. “We look at the patient’s health history, lifestyle and obstacles to losing weight and then develop an individualized plan that makes sense for that patient.”
Patients are asked to fill out a detailed questionnaire covering everything from previous diets Dr. Yvettethey have tried Marie to behaviors Pellegrino affecting their eating habits. They also need to provide a brief food journal. At the first visit with the doctor, the patient will undergo a physical exam and biometric screening to establish a medical baseline. Depending on the patient’s health condition, further testing may be required. It could include blood work, an EKG or sleep study. Working with a registered dietitian, Pellegrino will recommend a meal plan that fits the patient’s specific needs, work schedule and home life. Because exercise is also a key component of the program, Beaufort Memorial is offering Healthy Weight patients a special six-month LifeFit Wellness Center package that includes access to the hospital’s gym, group classes and eight sessions with a wellness
coach at the significantly reduced rate of $200. As part of their long-term maintenance plan, patients also may be prescribed medication to regulate hormones or insulin, slow down digestion or target binge-eating disorders. “The majority of people who get on diets to lose weight will gain it back, plus 10 percent more,” Pellegrino said. “What we’re doing is not a short-term plan but realistic and ongoing lifestyle changes to maintain a healthy weight.” By following the program, patients are expected to lose one to two pounds per week. Studies have shown people who lose weight gradually and steadily are more successful at keeping the weight off. Pellegrino, who is also board-certified in family medicine, will also treat any comorbidity issues, including diabetes, arthritis and depression. To participate in the program, patients should have a body mass equal to or greater than 25. For more information, call Beaufort Memorial Lady’s Island Internal Medicine at 843-522-7240.

Betsy Ross: American heroine or racist icon?
M
y home was built between 1775 and 1780 and is often referred to as the Independence House. Daily, we fly the Betsy Ross flag because it is the most appropriate one for the historic antiquity of my house, located in Beaufort’s Historic District. Sadly, Ross’s Revolutionary-period flag, which contains 13 stars arranged in a circle against a background of red and white stripes has become a raging controversy. As soon as Nike abdicated its autonomy and left good common sense at the starting line, the media lit up like fireworks even before the Fourth of July. Gurus of every political/ social stripe had an opinion. The more rational pundits and historians told the history of how other American symbols have changed over time, and sadly how some have been kidnapped by special interest groups, such as the KKK, as their own special idol.
DAVID TAUB
Does flying Ross’s flag on the front of my historic home make my wife and me racists, which most certainly we are not? How did this moronic foolishness come to pass? Historians have frequently warned us of the falsity of trying to understand complex events in history by viewing them in the context of modern ethos, instead of through the values defining their own time. This axiom is critical to understanding the contradictions of Thomas Jefferson’s famous words in the opening stanzas of the Declaration of Independence, and America’s dark period of slavery. The introduction of slaves to the colonies came under and through British rule. By
the time the Declaration of Independence was signed and published, there were over a half-million slaves in America, out of a total population of about 2.5 million. The Declaration of Independence spoke elegantly and explicitly on behalf of the 13 colonies, each colony a gift from the Kings of pax Britannica. George Washington invited Betsy Ross to sew a flag that reflected that constituency; 13 former colonies now united in singular nationhood. Ross’ flag symbolizes that historic reality. What is the symbolism embodied in every American flag flying over the Republic before the end of slavery? Should we condemn these great American icons as racists symbols because slavery existed at that time? Should we believe that only US flags since the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, (passed by the Senate on April 8, 1864, and by the House on January 31, 1865) validate the great American dream articulated by

peoples to Oklahoma? Or the internment of the Japanese in World War II? Or the importation of Africans to the American South? Hyde has a high regard for the Truth and Reconciliation Commission that followed the end of apartheid in South Africa. He said this process ‘worked’ (he is careful to point out its shortcomings) because it involved a “shared understanding of what happened, public confession, and some sense of justice.” So it seems we’ve come round to the Roman Catholic ritual of confessing of our sins, getting absolution, and
then doing penance in the form of prayer — “Hail Mary full of grace. Blessed art thou among women ...” But there is a distinction between the Catholic version and what is now under discussion as relates to the sins of slavery. The first is whispered to a priest, in the darkness and is veiled with anonymity. The second is a public acknowledgment of guilt and the award of damages — called reparations. At the moment, between 55 and 60 percent of Americans are unwilling to confess the sins of their fathers if penance involves reparations. Years ago — when I was a Roman — I might have been reluctant if the priest had said, “And for your penance, Scott, make a good act of contrition and leave a $100 check — payable to the Sodality of Our Lady of Fatima — in the collection plate next Sunday.”
parts of that past that have disappeared. Which brings me to my college classmate, Johnny Sams, who sailed into Beaufort a couple of nights ago and invited me and my wife onto his sleek, state-of-theart yacht for wine and conversation. I readily agreed. Johnny was not only a classmate, but was also in my company, India, and succeeded in every way that I failed. He got promoted — eventually going up to 3rd Battalion Staff — and went on to earn three stars in the US Air Force. And so, for nearly four hours, we sat on his boat and talked about our time together at The Citadel. My experience at the Citadel was uneven. I went to the military school against the advice of my father — “You’ll never make it,” he told me when I broached the idea. And the following year — my plebe year — is one I have
tried to forget. I was singled-out as a person who did not belong in the Corps of Cadets. Several of the cadre tried their best to get me to leave the school. And every now and then, especially when I read a book like “A Sense of Honor” by James Webb, those plebe year memories come back at me like a migraine headache. The memories that lurk in my consciousness are not the push-ups, pull-ups and late night sweat parties. What remain are the whispered insults, by the upperclassmen, that one is a “douche-bag” while standing in an over-heated room trying to hold an M-1 rifle at arm’s length. What still lives (in chemical form) in my brain is the idea that I was defective and unworthy. Scott Graber is a lawyer, novelist, veteran columnist and longtime resident of Port Royal.

Let us now not be cowards. It is time for all Americans to rededicate ourselves to the most righteous Judeo-Christian virtues of our shared American values and mores.” Jefferson at the beginning of the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence: “We holds these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal …” A first lesson provided in Anthropology 101 is that in every culture “symbols” are very important to the society and mark the identity of the peoples who have adopted them. It is no different in America today. In the modern world, every society, culture and empire has used national (and nationalistic) symbols to their own end; some to good, but many others to evil, pursuits.
Sometimes forgetfulness is good t is Saturday morning and a thunderstorm is passing over Port Royal. Normally, I would be happy about the plunging temperature, the wind and rain in July. But Saturday morning is when I bathe and barber my yard with help from my friend, Joe Morrall. Saturday morning is also when I get the Wall Street Journal’s “Review.” Lately I’ve come to rely on their book reviews although they are skewed to non-fiction — war and rumors of war — and less comprehensive when it comes to new fiction. Lewis Hyde believes — and let me be clear, I haven’t yet read his book — that “forgetfulness is not always a disaster. It can be a balm, a blessing, a way of forgiveness and rebirth.” But what does he say about collective forgetfulness? What about forgetting the removal of the Cherokee
Our national flags are the most important symbols in America’s lexicon of icons. Many patriots of all colors, religions and beliefs have given their lives to protect and defend what these flags symbolize, which includes our freedom and democracy. Our flag is the “holy grail” for us, and we must passionately resist all attempts to conflate it with white supremacy, racism and bigotry. Today, the fallacy of “race” and the racism that permeates from this toxic mythology, is alive and virulent in America. We face many difficult issues, not the least of
which is an ugly resurgence in racism, anti-Semitism and Islamophobia. Abraham Lincoln, perhaps our greatest president, opined presciently: “To sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards of men.” Let us now not be cowards. It is time for all Americans to rededicate ourselves to the most righteous Judeo-Christian virtues of our shared American values and mores. Let us be courageous in the face of the evils of bigoted hatred that infect our society. We cannot remain silent; rather we must vigorously repudiate these poisonous curses. We must demand that our leaders do likewise, just as we must demand it of ourselves and our brothers and sisters.

This morning, there is a review of A Primer for Forgetting by Lewis Hyde (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, $26) which makes the case that certain things should be forgotten “Bad remembering causes time to clot. Bad remembering can be an error of content (we remember that wrong things) or an error of action (we remember for wrong reasons). Time is, ought to be, fluid and to be fluent within time, we must let a lot of life drop away.” Several weeks ago, I corralled my brother and sister (in the midst of a wedding reception) and made them talk about my father’s anger. Then, a week after the wedding, I invited both of them to dinner and peppered them with a list of prepared questions — “Did our mother really love our father?” As I approach 75 years on this troubled planet, I am obsessed with my past and the
Focus on financial literacy will help young people
M
ost of us probably remember learning things in high school that we rarely if ever use as adults – like how to calculate the area of a trapezoid or how to solve a quadratic equation. Yet nearly all of us do, at some point, need to take out a loan, carefully manage our finances to survive lean times, or save for retirement. Unfortunately, the basic financial literacy needed to master these challenges isn’t required learning in South Carolina. The result? We allow financial illiteracy to thrive. That would change under a bill proposed in the S.C. Legislature earlier this year. The measure would create
RICHARD ECKSTROM
a standalone, half-semester financial literacy course for South Carolina high schools. Passing it would be required to graduate. The lessons in finance currently offered in S.C. schools are sandwiched into other courses and aren’t required to graduate. That’s not good enough. State lawmakers – who adjourned without taking up the bill during the 2019
session – should make it a priority next year. I couldn’t help but think about the importance of financial literacy recently while following a particular discussion in Congress. The topic being discussed was student loan debt, and some were arguing for taxpayers to pick up the tab. It's become extremely common for college students to accumulate very high levels of student loan debt – in the hope that, through hard work, their debt will one day get paid off. But it’s apparent that because they don’t fully grasp financial basics, too many students have taken on greater debt burdens than they can sensibly bear. What’s the solution?
Arguments for having taxpayers wipe out student debt are misguided at best, but what has emerged from the student debt debate is a strong case for requiring better money-management education in our high schools. Consider the results of a recent international study by financial analysts at Standard & Poor’s: The United States, the world’s largest economy, ranks an unimpressive 14th place globally with only 57 percent of U.S. adults considered financially literate. That places us behind us most European countries and only slightly ahead of Bhutan, a slightly-developed country in the mountains of South Asia.
A study conducted by the National Financial Educators Council shows South Carolina’s young people running about the national average when it comes to financial literacy. But our goal should be to be better than average. There’s a nationwide movement to make passing a standalone financial literacy course mandatory for a high school diploma, though it appears slow to catch on: Only five states have the kind of requirement now under consideration in South Carolina. That’s a shame. We should do what it takes to ensure that South Carolina students are solidly grounded in financial basics like budgeting, maintaining good credit scores, calculating
A little dab will do ya especially if it's hair butter
I
n 1984, I had my waistlength hair cut up to my chin. My hairdresser did not want to do it, because she said if I didn’t like it, I would never come back to her. She was right, I never went back, but it had more to do with the fact that I moved, not her. Recently I decided to cut my shoulder length hair much shorter and Kelly, my hairdresser, questioned whether she should be the one to do it. I told her that regardless of my reaction, I promised her I would not blame her.

Now what?
highlighting daily life observations
As she cut away, it felt strange to see all that hair on the floor. And for someone who has basically had the same hairdo for 35 years, the shorter hair felt so much different.
I have spoken to other women who have changed their hairdo and they have said that the oddest part is walking by a mirror. “WHAT! Who is that?” That is how I felt. There is suddenly a stranger in the mirror. But there are advantages to having short hair. You do not have to use as much shampoo, and your hair dries quickly too. When my hairdresser suggested I buy hair butter to style my new hair, it just sounded wrong. But she showed me how to use it
after she cut my hair. A little dab here in your hands, rub your hands back and forth and slide it through your hair. When I went to the drug store to buy some, I discovered an assortment of products for short hair. Never having been a “hair product” consumer, I found the whole section unnerving. They call them styling products. First, I saw the hair butter, but there was also hair paste and hair gels all with multiple categories like, fine hair, thick hair, curly hair. I learned that the hair gels are
good for stiffening your hair, and hair paste is a good hair styling product. Unfortunately, when I tried on the butter for the first time, I had to wash my hair again. It reminded me of the Brylcreem my brother used when we were kids. “A little dab will do ya” was the commercial rhyme back then. It was said to style, shine and condition a man’s/boy’s hair. I always thought it looked a bit greasy, but maybe he was not doing the little dab that was recommended. It has taken me some time to get use to the short hair-
interest rates, differentiating good debt from bad debt, saving for retirement, and detecting financial scams. That’s the stuff they need to know to keep from getting in debt over their heads. And it’s more important than ever in a time when cash transactions are increasingly replaced by waving a smart phone – making it easier to rack up debt without fully realizing it. To overlook the importance of sound financial literacy is to release into the real world too many adults who are unable to manage money wisely – and even worse, too many members of Congress who are unable to do so.

SPORTS
All-Lowco Basketball teams announced A number of hoops stars from northern Beaufort County were recognized for their stellar performances with spots on the All-Lowco Basketball teams released this week by LowcoSports.com.
2018-19 All-Lowco Girls Basketball Team Presented by Lowcountry Heat Basketball COACH OF THE YEAR Jermaine Bigham, MRHS — After scanning through the All-Lowco Team selections below, the reasoning for Bigham getting the Coach of the Year nod will come into focus. The Sharks claimed the Region 8-3A title and reached the third round of the Class 3A playoffs in just their third season of existence despite boasting just one second-team All-Lowco player and two honorable mention selections. They were able to do so because Bigham got them to buy into playing outstanding team defense, allowing only 33.4 points per game and at one point holding five straight opponents under 30. Runner-up: Kenny Conroy, HHCA PLAYER OF THE YEAR Tkai DeVore, JPII — The only strike against DeVore was her level of competition, as the Golden Warriors played a relatively weak SCISA schedule. But the stats speak for them-
selves. The versatile 5-foot-8 junior averaged 20.8 points, 11 rebounds, and 5.5 steals and racked up 14 double-doubles in 21 games, including 21 points and 10 rebounds in a loss to eventual state champion Hilton Head Christian Academy. And she proved she can do it against a higher level of competition when she poured in 28 points to go with seven boards against Region 7-4A champion Hilton Head High. Runner-up: Marlaysia Westbrook, RHHS FIRST TEAM ALL-LOWCO Jasmine Campbell, Jr., F, HHCA — 10.5 ppg, 8.6 rpg Dominant post presence led Eagles to SCISA 2A state title Tkai DeVore, Jr., G/F, JPII — 20.8 ppg, 11 rpg, 5.5 spg Area’s best pure scorer put up big numbers despite defenses keying on her Trinity Feltner, Sr., G, HHIHS — 10.5 ppg, 3.6 rpg, 2.5 apg Region 7-4A Player of the Year and All-State pick was leader on region championship squad Brielle McCarthy, Jr., G, HHCA — 11 ppg, 4.5 apg, 2.5 spg One of area’s best defenders also put up solid offensive numbers for state champs Marlaysia Westbrook, Jr., F, RHHS — 17.6 ppg, 10.6 rpg Region 8-3A Player of the Year and All-State selection

has become a household name in the Lowcountry in recent years, and now he has a state title to add to his local resume. The Dolphins lost two of their first three games before reeling off 21 straight, culminating with a 57-43 win over Shannon Forest Christian in the SCISA 2A championship game. Runner-up: Jeremiah Faber, RHHS PLAYER OF THE YEAR Rashamel Butler, RHHS — The area’s most prolific scorer, Butler was named the Class 3A Co-Player of the Year after leading the Jaguars to a second consecutive state runner-up finish as a senior. The versatile guard averaged 22.1 points, 9.3 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 3.6 steals and earned a scholarship to play at NJCAA Division II Monroe Community College in New York next season. Runner-up: Avern Montaque, HHP FIRST TEAM ALL-LOWCO Ny'Gel Boozer, Sr., G, RHHS — 15.2 ppg, 4.5 rpg Airport transfer played key role in Jaguars’ playoff run Rashamel Butler, Sr., G, RHHS — 22.1 ppg, 9.3 rpg, 5.3 apg, 3.6 spg Class 3A Co-Player of the Year led Jags to state finals for second straight year Harry Cash, Jr., F, MRHS — 14.2 ppg, 8.8 rpg Sharks’ leading scorer and

Beaufort's Wojciechowski back in majors After a stellar first half in the minors, Beaufort High alumnus Asher Wojciechowski is back in the bigs with the Baltimore Orioles. Wojciechowski did not pitch in the majors last season and had not made a big-league start since Aug. 23, 2017, before Baltimore
acquired him from Cleveland earlier this month and plugged him into a struggling rotation. “I loved his aggressiveness,” Orioles manager Brandon Hyde told The Baltimore Sun after Wojciechowski’s first start July 2 at Tampa Bay. “I thought he showed a good
fastball, a good, hard slider. I liked the way he pounded the zone and threw strikes. Good presence on the mound. Did a nice job keeping us in the game into the sixth inning.” Wojciechowski was outstanding in 15 starts for Triple-A Columbus, going 8-2 with a 3.61 ERA — the sec-
ond-best in the International League — and 82 strikeouts in 84 2/3 innings. In his first two starts for the Orioles, he is 0-2 with a 6.52 ERA and 12 strikeouts across 9 2/3 innings. A 2010 first-round pick of the Toronto Blue Jays coming out of The Citadel,
Wojciechowski made his major-league debut with the Houston Astros in 2015 and reached the majors again with the Cincinnati Reds in 2017. He is 63-46 with a 4.03 ERA across 10 minor-league seasons and 4-6 with a 6.62 ERA in 32 games (13 starts) in the majors.

Preparing the Way
The Family Begins God’s Promises to Abraham
About 4000 years ago, God began his divine rescue mission. Rather than choosing someone powerful or famous to begin his family of faith, God calls an ordinary man living in the ancient city of Haran, in modern-day Turkey. Abraham and his wife Sarah have enough means to live comfortably, but they had never been blessed with a child, and now they are far past childbearing years.
Second, from Abraham will come a dynasty. God promises, “I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.” (Gen 12:2) In biblical terminology, this is not just a promise to have a famous name or be greatly esteemed by others. Rather, it means a dynasty will come from Abraham’s descendants, a line of kings who will rule over other nations.
At age 75, Abraham receives a special mission from God. God tells him, “Go forth from your land, your relatives, and from your father’s house to a land that I will show you.” (Gen 12:1) This new land would be Canaan, hundreds of miles away to the south. God then makes Abraham three amazing promises.
Third, from Abraham will come a worldwide blessing. God promises, “All peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” (Gen 12:2) This means that the blessings poured out upon Abraham will not only benefit Abraham and his descendants. Rather, somehow God will bless the entire world through the family begun by Abraham and Sarah.
First, from Abraham will come a nation. God promises, “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you.” (Gen 12:2) By this, Abraham understands that God is promising that he and Sarah would conceive in their old age, and that their descendants would be so numerous that they would one day form an entire nation. Since every nation needs its own land, God promises Canaan to Abraham and his descendants.
Abraham has faith and trusts God. He leaves his homeland with Sarah, his relatives, and all those in his household, and together they begin the long journey south. God helps Abraham through different trials, and after many years he gives Abraham and Sarah the miraculous blessing of a son, Isaac. On various occasions, God tests Abraham’s faith and then solemnly reaffirms his promises to Abraham. Abraham and his descendants were meant to be a special people chosen by God. With the “yes” of one faithful man, God begins his family of faith. The entire rest of the Bible is the story of God gradually fulfilling the three promises he made to Abraham in Genesis 12. We will see Abraham’s family slowly grow into a family comprised of twelve tribes. Under Moses, these twelve tribes will become a nation. Under King David, the nation will become a dynasty. And centuries later, Abraham’s family will become a blessing for all the nations.

Lily & Lou’s takes up residence in Habersham
Certified barbecue judging class coming to Columbia
By Ron Callari Habersham’s Marketplace is a step back in time, accented by shops, bistros and dining facilities, featuring artisanal products and tasty cuisine. To its distinguished list of culinary options, add the new Lily & Lou’s Eatery and Market, which is filling the space formerly occupied by Lazy Susan’s Cafe & Creperie. The new co-owners, Kate and Jack Cosentino recently relocated from Minnesota with the idea that a work/live residence just might be the right fit at this point in their careers. According to Kate, who ran a successful photography studio, she believed neither her nor her husband were actually ready for retirement. “Jack, having recently left his high-pressure job as a medical consulting CEO, and I were looking to the future,” she said. “We took a road trip south with the goal to scout out what might catch our fancy when we did officially retire.” Florida was their first thought, but it was dismissed after several follow-up visits, which eventually “opened our eyes to South Carolina.” “Let’s get our hands dirty, and make pretty,” noted Kate whimsically. “Why not?” Jack loves to cook – gyros are just one of his specialties – and Kate was always a baker at heart. Now, they have their chance. They have decided to keep the cafe and market format, as they felt that type of facility was needed not only for
Seriously, could their be a better job in the world than judging barbecue? If your answer is no, or even maybe, keep reading. The S.C. Barbecue Association (SCBA) will hold a class July 27 in Columbia to train new barbecue judges. The class will be run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the recreation hall at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, located at 1715 Bull St. Registration is open to members of the SCBA, and memberships are available for $35 for an individual or $60 for a family. Seminar cost is $50 per person, which includes, of course, a catered barbecue lunch. The all-day seminar is the first step in becoming a SCBA Certified Barbecue Judge. After completing the class, potential judges will continue their training with hands-on experience as novice judges at three SCBA-sanctioned barbecue competitions. Competitions are held around the state at festivals and fairs, as well as other community events or stand-alone barbecue contests. Those interested in becoming SCBA certified judges and attending the July 27 seminar should email SCBA President Jim Wellman at jwellman@ scbarbeque.com to request an SCBA membership application and judging seminar registration form. You may also apply and register online at www.scbarbecue.com.
Lily & Lou’s co-owner, Kate Cosentin. Habersham residents, but Beaufort at large. A soft opening They have held a “soft opening,” which garnered them feedback from firsttime diners. Dismissing a grand opening, Kate and Jack wanted to open their doors in a casual manner. They wanted to meet their new neighbors, as they would if they invited them to their home. “No Yelp, nor NextDoor marketing push,” Kate said. “We wanted to have conversations as to how to improve
their dining experience for their patronage and well as their new staff.” They created breakfast and lunch menus, and having just secured a wine and beer license, they will soon be offering cigars, wine and charcuterie offerings in the evenings. Something that Beaufortonians will be happy to learn, the Cosentinos also decided to be one of the few restaurants in town to be opened daily, from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. They will also man a market for convenience items, such
as milk, butter, sauces and some of the ingredients used in their menus. Survey says For breakfast, the jury is in, and hands down the “Ooey Gooey Carmel Pecan Roll” is the most popular item. Gluten-free, it is a brown sugar-, honey- and cinnamon-glazed sticky roll, smothered with southern pecans. According to Kate, “the best and most popular lunch item thus far is their “Naughty Greek.” While Greek-style, this one is marinated for 2 days, hand-stacked, slow
cooked and cut traditionally from a vertical rotisserie. It is served on a warm pita with pickled onions, cucumbers and a to-die-for tzatziki. With a catchy play on words, a “Shamwich” features Kate and Jack’s signature egg soufflé, with thick cut bacon, cheddar cheese and Dijonnaise mustard, served on a ciabatta roll. For diners relocating from the North, they’ll be happy to know Lily & Lou’s will be serving New York Bagels, toasted with butter and/or cream cheese.
WINE & DINE
Comfort wine is a new Pinot Grigio A lways a favorite. Especially if the new is sort of similar to
others. Sort of a bit different so it stands out and on its own. At a good price so trying it is easy. Trying it a lot is also easy. Comes from a known winery so it’s not a total stranger. Yes, new, but comfortable. Like comfort food. So, beginning with from where. Washington State is not the “where” that comes to mind first for Pinot Grigios. This state is known for Merlots and Cabernets, and, for white wines. Riesling is its star. Followed by Chardonnay.
CELIA STRONG
But previous lessons have covered the rise in popularity of Pinot Grigio. And its ability to make good wines wherever it is grown. The first wine grapevines were planted in the state in 1825, at Fort Vancouver. Unfortunately, there is no record of any wines being made from these first plantings. German and Italian im-
migrants, in the 1860s and 1870s were the first who are known to have definitely made wines in Washington. In 1917, Washington was one of the first states to usher in Prohibition. After that, their modern wine industry did not reboot until the 1950s. Grape growing in Washington is very much controlled by the geography across different parts of the state. The Cascade Mountains keep marine influences from the Pacific Ocean and the Puget Sound from reaching eastern Washington, where conditions are almost desert-like. Irrigation is allowed, though. Frosts and hard freezes can cause a lot
of destruction to the vines. On the good side, the soils in the vineyards’ soils are sandy, stone-studded, lava, and along with the dryness, all together make unfriendly conditions for many vineyard diseases. Like phylloxera. Pinot Grigio, when grown in cooler climates like Washington State, has higher levels of natural fruit acids, a good thing, and a spicy tang in its flavors. Cooler temperature fermentation enhances the freshness and fruitiness of its wines. Hogue Cellars was founded in 1982 by Mike and Gary Hogue. They are located in the Columbia Valley, Washington’s premiere grape growing region. Warm sum-
mer days and cool nights over the growing season lets the grapes ripen fully and still maintain their natural acidity. The grapes are harvested at night or very early morning so they are cool. This preserves their fresh fruit flavors. After a gentle whole-berry pressing, fermentation is done in stainless steel tanks at 48 to 57 degrees Fahrenheit. Seventy percent of the grapes for this wine are grown in the cooler Yakima Valley. Eighteen percent come from Snipes Mountain and 12 percent from Columbia Valley. Small amounts of Gewurztraminer (to support the
Pinot Grigio’s natural spiciness), and Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Muscat Canelli (all to enhance the fruit flavors) are added in. This wine is light to medium bodied, with a pale yellow color. Even served very cold it has aromas and flavors that include lemons, yellow and green apples, melons, nectarines, peaches, ginger, orange blossoms and honeysuckle. And a distinct minerality with its lingering acidity finish. Grown in a cooler climate but perfect for warm weather. A perfect comfort wine. For $8.99 at Bill’s Liquors. Enjoy. Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island.

BEAUFORT CELEBRATES INDEPENDENCE DAY
Everyone loves a parade
By Bob Sofaly Things are done a little differently in the Land’s End Community on St. Helena Island. The annual Fourth of July Golf Cart Parade was no exception. It was held on Saturday, July 6, so everyone had a chance to participate. This year’s theme was Southern Hospitality. Y’all come back now. Ya hear!
Photos at left (top to bottom): Serene Cox, center, waves her flag to the crowd as the parade makes its way down Land’s End Road on Saturday. ••• Cameron Derienzo, left, dressed up as Col. Harlan Sanders of Kentucky Fried Chicken fame and gave out candy as he walked beside his family’s “Southern Fried” golf cart. Photos by Bob Sofaly. A12
JULY 11 - 17, 2019
The Hunting Island Lighthouse was draped with a Garrison Flag thoughout the Fourth of July holiday. The lighthouse is 132.5 feet long. The Garrison Flag, the largest flag flown by the U.S. military – flown only on holidays and special occasions – reaches nearly halfway down the structure. Photo by Bob Sofaly
