City gains more marsh vista on Boundary Street Staff report

Views of the Battery Creek marsh from Beaufort’s Boundary Street just got better with the announced purchase of a former gas station by the city of Beaufort and Beaufort County. The gas station property is adjacent to three lots that were cleared the week of June 20, including the former Huddle House, Sea Eagle seafood market and the old fire station shed. The area will be seeded with grass and converted to passive open space looking out over the marsh. It’s also adjacent the former United Way building, which will be demolished for open space once Beaufort County relocates offices out of the structure, estimated to be

two years. “Our mission is to help preserve open vistas across the county, and this certainly is an important location considering it is a few hundred feet from the Civil War Battery Saxton site,” said Dean Moss, a board member with the Beaufort County Open Land Trust who led negotiations for all the parcels. “It’s going to be pretty and peaceful, and will be a significant improvement over the buildings that were there. This is part of a long-term partnership among the Open Land Trust, the city of Beaufort and Beaufort County, and the end result is going to be The city of Beaufort has purchased an old gas station and the former United Way building to make way for an open vista.

Lands End celebrates 4th of July with annual parade

New taxes, fees to be felt at pump, DMV By Sally Mahan

As of July 1, a new South Carolina gas tax took effect, and you’re going to notice at the pump, DMV and when buying a new car, boat or semi-trailer. Gas jumped about 2 cents a gallon under the new law, commonly referred to as the Roads Bill. That is in addition to the biannual vehicle registration fee, which will change from $24 to $40 for instate residents on Jan. 1. Additionally, if you live out of state and are registering a new vehicle in South Carolina, you will pay a new $250 fee. For example, if you move to SC from Georgia with a vehicle that was previously registered in Georgia, when you register that vehicle with the SCDMV, you will owe the $250 fee and applicable title and registration fees to the SCDMV. Vehicle owners must bring their original paid property tax receipt when registering the item. “If you fall into the above category, it’s best to prepare early for your visit to the SCDMV,” said Director of Vehicle Services Larry Murray. “Remember, everyone has 45 days to transfer their title and registration to South Carolina.” If you purchase a vehicle, trail-

There was plenty of fun to be had throughout the Beaufort area over the long July 4 weekend, from fireworks to parades to barbecues and more.

er, semi-trailer, or other item in South Carolina that will be registered in another state, you will not owe the $250 fee. You will, however, pay a sales tax when purchasing the item. Under the changes in legislation, the sales tax on new vehicles will remain at 5 percent of the purchase price of the item. However, the maximum tax due will increase from $300 to $500. For instance, if you purchase an item that is $9,999 or less, your sales tax will be 5 percent of the sales price. If it is $10,000 or more, you will owe $500. The goal is to raise money to fix roads throughout the state. According to the DOT, around $800 million in additional revenue will be raised by the increase in the state's gas tax by 2024. “Customers can rest assured that the SCDMV will guide them through this transition,” said Executive Director Kevin Shwedo. “We’ve been working with South Carolina dealers, their association and the Department of Revenue to facilitate a smooth shift with minimal to no impact for businesses and customers.” For more information, visit www.scdmvonline.com.

PUBLIC SAFETY 4-year-old shot; investigation ongoing

A 4-year-old boy was hospitalized after accidentally being shot. The Beaufort County Sheriff 's Office is investigating the shooting incident that occurred on June 29 at a residence on Noye Wiggins Drive in Burton. The child was transported by family members to Beaufort Memorial Hospital for treatment. The child has since been flown to the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston for further treatment. Sheriff 's office investigators worked into the night documenting the scene and collecting evidence, including the handgun involved, for forensic examination. Though the circumstances surrounding the incident remain under investigation, there is no indication that foul play was involved and no one has been charged. Further information was not available as of press time.

Public’s help needed in solving cold case

The Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office is seeking the public’s help with a cold case from 1987. On June 17 of that year, Paul Baker, 3, was reported missing from his Shell Point home by his stepmother, Susan Baker. She told police that the toddler must have walked out when she was taking a nap. According to a Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office report, she allegedly was under the influence of alcohol and drugs at the time of the boy’s disappearance. “(Susan) Baker’s story was highly suspicious and through investigation it was learned Paul Baker and his 6-year-old sister were physically abused by her on a regular basis,” according to the report. Susan Baker was charged with assault on Paul Baker’s 6-year-old sister and convicted. There have been reports on the whereabouts of Paul Baker over the years, but he was never found. Susan Baker and James Baker, the biological father of Paul Baker, eventually moved to Chipley, Fla. In 2000, a cold case investigation led to charges against both Susan and James Baker in relation to their alleged neglect in the disappearance of Paul Baker. They were extradited to Beaufort County, where the charges were ultimately dismissed. They then went back to Chipley. In 2009, a 7-month-old infant was abducted and Susan Baker was again named as the A2

suspect. The infant was found alive and well five days later, having been hidden in a box under a bed by Susan Baker. She was charged in connection with the infant’s abduction. She remains the person of interest in the disappearance of Paul Baker. His DNA is stored in the National Missing Persons DNA database. Anyone with information on the Paul Baker case is asked to contact Capt. Bob Bromage at 843-255-3402, 843-816-8013 or robertb@bcgov.net. Those who wish to remain anonymous can call or Crimestoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC (274-6372).

Men accused of stealing golf cart

Law enforcement officials are trying to identify the pictured individuals who allegedly took a golf cart from the Disney Resort at 22 Harbourside Lane on Hilton Head. Three white males were seen on video surveillance on June 27 riding around the marina area at Shelter Cove. The abandoned cart was recovered and returned to Disney. One suspect was also seen taking a $450 Yeti cooler off a boat at the marina. They appear to be in their late teens or early 20s and were seen leaving the area in a Chevy HHR with damage to the back left quarter panel. Anyone with information should contact Sgt. D. Seifert at 843-255-3314 or Beaufort County Dispatch at 843-524-2777. To remain anonymous and collect a possible reward, call CrimeStoppers at 888-274-6372.

Those serving alcohol must carry insurance

A new law went into effect on July 1 requiring alcohol-serving businesses or individuals to have liability insurance that could help assist victims who are wounded, paralyzed or worse due to alcohol-related crimes. The Dram Shop legislation will be implemented almost three years to the day when city of Dillion police officer Jacob Richardson’s life was forever changed on July 6, 2014. That night, he responded to a call reporting a disturbance at a local night club. As he approached the bar, Richardson was hit by a drunk driver who had been over-served by the night club, leaving him paralyzed and with permanent brain damage. The night club had no insurance and passed their liability onto the city. Dillion has since been forced to pay over $1 million for Richardson’s medical care and expenses. The South Carolina Association for Justice (SCAJ) worked closely with Richardson, his father Eddie, and legislative leaders to help make sure this does not happen again. "Sadly, this common-sense requirement was not on the books in time to help Jacob and his family,” said SCAJ President Alex Cash. “Their tragic experience clearly shows how this new law will quite literally be a lifesaver for many families. It will also protect business owners who serve alcohol by prohibiting hidden alcohol exclusions of insurance coverage in the fine print of their policies. South Carolina is better today because the legislature recognized that sound public policy is holding folks accountable for their actions.” Specifically, the bill requires that any business that renews or applies for an on-premise alcohol license from the South Carolina Department of Revenue that sells alcohol after 5 p.m. will be required to carry a minimum $1 million liquor liability policy.

Public reminded not to handle, move wildlife A lot of wildlife make appearances during the summer season, and it is not uncommon for people to come across these animals while out and about. The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) wants to remind everyone that the best thing to do when one comes across wildlife is to leave it alone and contact the appropriate people should the animal be in distress or human lives be in danger. A recent media report claimed people encountered a Midlands alligator and were planning to release the animal into another

environment on the coast. While this story may have been fabricated, incidents of people moving wildlife do occur and, while it is believed many people who handle wildlife have the best of intentions, it is against the law to take and possess certain kinds of wildlife. "If anyone is having a problem with an alligator, or just wants more information, they should contact SCDNR before trying to take matters into their own hands," SCDNR Furbearer & Alligator Program Coordinator Jay Butfiloski said in a press release. "Not only can subsequent violations result in substantial

fines, but there is the potential for someone to get hurt." Taking and possessing an alligator without a permit is illegal under state law and is punishable by a fine of not less than $500 and no more than $2,500, or imprisonment for 30 days, or both. Also, the court may order restitution for any alligator taken, possessed or transferred. It is also unlawful to feed, entice or molest an alligator except as permitted under state and federal law. Fawns are another animal people have a tendency to want to help when found.

While the young may be alone, the mother is likely nearby. Fawns born during April, May and June will begin daily movements with their mothers in about three or four weeks, and human handling and disturbance of the fawns can cause a doe to shy away or even desert her offspring. Also, a bleating response by the fawn can summon nearby predators. It is illegal to take a deer outside of season, and people are discouraged from doing so. SCDNR wants to keep both human and animals lives safe, and asks the public to let the agency handle matters regarding wildlife.

fort River) SCDHEC has launched a program called RecycleMoreSC, a public-private partnership to promote the benefits of recycling. The county has aligned its goals with the statewide goal of increasing recycling to 40 percent by 2020. “We’re hoping this will lower our garbage tonnage and increase our recycling tonnage,” said Cindy Carter, the county’s Solid Waste and Recycling information coordinator. “It will save landfill space and help out with our recycling efforts.” For more information on this and other recycling issues, visit www.bcgov.net/recycle or call 843-255-2823.

• Goal 2: Create and maintain a comprehensive, proactive communication plan. • Goal 3: Through tourism, attract those that are looking to relocate their offices and businesses to the city by capitalizing on the qualities that Beaufort has to offer. • Goal 4: Initiate a plan to accommodate significant growth through infill development within the Northwest Quadrant and parts of the Old Commons. • Goal 5: Create and coordinate opportunities for affordable housing to be constructed in the city. According to the city, the FY18 budget includes new investments and important reinvestments in critical city infrastructure. The budget also ensures workforce development and readiness, and the ability to provide the community with the highest level of service. The city estimates it will bring in about 7.8 percent more revenue during fiscal year 2018 compared to FY17. Furthermore, there will be no tax hike due to revenue growth and tight controls on spending. The Beaufort Code is a new form-based development code and zoning map. It replaces the Unified Development Ordinance from 2003. Originally begun in collaboration with Beaufort County and the town of Port Royal in 2012, the Beaufort Code coordinates language and concepts with the two neighboring

jurisdictions. The FY18 Budget, 2017-2019 Strategic Plan and the Beaufort Code can all be found on the city’s website at www.cityofbeaufort.org.

NEWS BRIEFS County offers recycling at local boat landings

Accommodations tax applications due Sept. 7

The Beaufort County Accommodations Tax Board is now accepting applications from organizations in Beaufort County wanting to receive grants from the 2-percent state accommodations tax fund. South Carolina law allows for a 2-percent tax levy on the rental of all transient accommodations to help provide financial support to promote tourism and fund tourism-related activities in municipalities and counties within the state. As a result, individuals staying overnight in hotels, motels, inns and vacation rentals pay 2 percent in addition to the statewide sales tax and any local sales and use tax applied to their lodging cost. Applications are available online at www. bcgov.net and will not be accepted if received incomplete or past the deadline of 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 7.

What is your perception of the stock market? Who hasn’t heard the old saying about whether you perceive the glass as being half full or half empty? The fact of the matter is that it is a common expression used to indicate that a particular situation could be seen as an opportunity or cause for optimism (half full), or on the flip side it could be seen as problem or pessimism (half empty). The other day I received an inquiry and we proceeded to chat about a number of items all related to investments and the stock market. As we talked, I noticed throughout the conversion the individual was viewing the present situation of the stock market as being half empty. He was reluctant to consider any type of investments at the current time since in his view the stock market was overpriced. We all have read the headlines going back to the end of January of this year where the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) hit 20,000. The media coverage was massive with some articles saying it was time for investors to buy more equities in expectations of additional gains, as well as an equal number of articles saying that you should sell all of your stocks as there were sure to be a major correction and you stand to lose thousands.

Most people’s understanding of the stock market and how to buy and sell stocks and overall how to invest in very limited. Most are told that you buy stocks when they start to Michael Osteen go up and not when they go down. As Warren Buffett says, “For some reason, people take their cues from price action rather than from values. What doesn't work is when you start doing things that you don't understand or because they worked last week for somebody else. The dumbest reason in the world to buy a stock is because it's going up.” Buffett has shown us over and over again that value investing is a proven method and has worked for over 85 years. The basic concept of value investing is to buy when the particular stock is selling at a discount. Most people place too much emphasis on the macroeconomics of the overall market and not enough emphasis on the individual company. Value investing looks at the individual company, often referred to as “bottom up”

analysis. However, most people look at the macroeconomics, often referred to as “top down” analysis. Commonly most individuals follow the crowd and this typically leads to under-performance. Buffett tells us, “Most people get interested in stock when everyone else is. The time to get interested is when no one else is. You can’t buy what is popular and do well.” Various studies have indicated that the stock market is inefficient and as such you can always find value opportunity provided you know what to look for and where to look. The term “inefficient” simply means that the stock market makes mistakes in pricing the stock of companies, which in turn creates opportunities for value investors and this occurs even when the stock market is “overpriced.” It would appear the individual did not have a full understanding of these details and how you can still make above average returns even in this so called “over-priced market.” For example, Port Wren Capital just finished researching a company that we invested in and recommend to our subscribers on March 20, and as of the writing of this article has already gained 24.12 percent so far. This

is only one example. And yes, that is in this so called “overpriced market.” So as you can see, it pays to know what to look for and how to find value investments even in today’s market. To use another quote from Buffett: “I will tell you how to become rich. Close the doors. Be fearful when others are greedy. Be greedy when others are fearful.” In other words, you can’t follow the crowd; you have to be an independent thinker.

The company's core value statement emphasizes caring for others through their heating and air services and giving back to others as a high priority to success in what they do.

They want to commemorate their anniversary by showing appreciation to the community at large who has helped

Chiropractors can help relieve various aches, pains Perspectives

LIFE FROM A NEW POINT OF VIEW

Dr. Kristie Wallace owns Beaufort Chiropractic and Wellness Center. She offers myriad chiropractic techniques and wellness advice. She is a United States Air Force veteran, who served in Operation Enduring Freedom and the Iraqi War. Beaufort Chiropractic is at 703 Bladen St. Call 843-522-1115.

When it comes to chiropractic medicine, once you start, you have to keep going. The reason most patients continue care is because they feel the results and want to keep coming back for wellness. Most patients utilize chiropractic treatment for acute pain. But, there is no magic pill for wellness. It takes work on your part. Proactive care in any healthcare profession is needed. The individual needs to make active choices in lifestyle and conscious changes to stay healthy. Changing your eating habits, staying active and reducing stress can help with long-term health and wellness. At first, chiropractic care can cause temporary discomfort. However, if the adjustment is accomplished with precision, then it is painless. It can take 24-48 hours to feel complete relief or benefits from an adjustment. Depending on the injury, it can take an average of six to eight visits to alleviate certain injuries. An inflamed joint or nerve interference takes time to heal depending on the injury or latency of the injured area. Generally, treatment is pain-free and creates a relaxed state due to the muscles releasing and an increase in circulation. And, if you are worried or fearful of the “pop,” there are many techniques that don't create that “cracking” sound. Let your chiropractor know of your concerns and ask questions. It is your body, so do what is right for you. The cost of care Chiropractic care is covered by Medicare and many other insurance plans. Call your insurance company and ask the questions: What is my deductible, how many visits can I receive in a year and what is my copay? If the chiropractor does not accept your insurance plan, a super-bill may be offered. The patient will need to send this to their insurance company for reimbursement. Most chiropractic establishments offer low-cost cash paying care or will work with the patient if it is too much of a financial burden. Ultimately, the goal is to care for the individual in need. Typically, the first visit entails a detailed examination, radiographic studies, thera-

py and treatment. This can range between $100-$200. Depending on the treatment administered, a typical treatment after the initial visit can range from $35-$75. Call around and research who is a good fit for you. Doctor or chiropractor? Most people are aware of the delicate nature of necks and spines, and therefore only want to entrust their care to a doctor that is properly accredited. Chiropractors have four years of pre-medical undergraduate education, learning about various scientific fields. Next, they have to complete four to five years of study at an accredited chiropractic college. During these years, students must complete at lease 4,200 hours of study, combining time in the classroom and laboratory and clinical experience. To obtain a license, the chiropractor must pass four national board examinations and a state examination. Yearly accredited continuing education hours are necessary to keep practicing. The many treatments There are approximately 200 different techniques used by chiropractors, however 16 techniques are widely utilized, ranging from dynamic manual adjustments to gentle low-force treatments. Treating the spine can relieve symptoms by taking pressure off the joint, muscles and nerves. For instance, “sciatic” pain, a nerve-like sensation, can radiate to the buttock, leg and/or foot. Adjusting the lower lumbar spine or sacroiliac joint can remove interference or align the area taking pressure off the sciatic nerve. However, some chiropractors are trained to adjust specific extremities as well. For instance, feet are the base and they take a beating. Proper ankle, knee and hip alignment can alleviate foot aches and pains. If that is coupled with a supportive shoe along with muscle work, it can dramatically decrease those achy feet in the morning. Many chiropractors take a holistic approach trying to find the cause along with treating the symptoms.

SCHOOLS & SPORTS SCHOOL BRIEFS School district selects Whale Branch contractor

The Beaufort County School District has selected a general contractor to supervise the building of a competition gymnasium and a performing arts center for Whale Branch Early College High School. South Carolina-based M.B. Kahn Construction, which has offices across the Southeast, was the district’s top choice at the end of a selection process regulated by district and state procurement policies. The company, rated by Engineering News Record as one of the nation’s Top 100 construction management firms, has completed more than 340 K-12 school projects over the

past two decades. Six firms submitted proposals for the two Whale Branch projects, and their proposals were independently evaluated and scored by a panel of reviewers. Each of the six competing companies was rated based on the quality of its experience, past performance, personnel and the specifics of its project proposal. As the district’s general contractor, M.B. Kahn will be responsible for supervising all aspects of building Whale Branch Early College High School’s new competition gym as well as its new performing arts center. District officials hope to open the school’s new competition gym in fall 2018 and the performing arts center in spring 2019.

He finished sixth in the 200-meter event at the Big South Triangular, crossing the finish line in 22.60. The Beaufort High School product ran a season-best 50.25 in the 400-meter event at the Georgia Invitational. Simmons excelled as a track and field athlete throughout his prep career at Beaufort High School.

graduate Dee Delaney is now a Miami Hurricane. Delaney has been settling in at Miami University as a graduate student. Delaney is eligible to play immediately as a graduate transfer from The Citadel, where he was named FCS All-American each of the last two seasons. As a senior in 2016, Delaney recorded 35 tackles, six interceptions and eight pass breakups. He also helped The Citadel win back-to-back Southern Conference championships in 2015-16. A native of Beaufort, Delaney started the final 36 games of his career at The Citadel, cementing himself as one of the best defensive backs in school history. Delaney ranks second in career interceptions with 13 and fourth in passes defended (32). The 6-foot-1, 193-pound Delaney also showed a knack for stepping up in big moments, picking off passes on back-to-back defensive plays against Wofford in the second round of the FCS playoffs. He also had a two-interception performance against Furman in 2016. Delaney received multiple All-America honors in his time at The Citadel, earning first-team All-America by six outlets, including Walter Camp, Athlon and the Associated Press. He was a near-consensus All-American in the preseason and in 2015 and was the first Bulldog in program history to earn Walter Camp All-America honors twice.

The law went into effect on July 1. Flounder rank among South Carolina’s top three most popular fish for recreational anglers, and South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) research has shown declines in their numbers over the past two decades. The new measures are intended to help rebuild flounder populations by giving more fish a chance to reproduce before they reach a harvestable size. The regulations change the minimum legal size for flounder from 14 inches (total length) to 15 inches (total length). Additionally, changes to the bag limit will reduce the number of fish an individual can keep from 15 flounder per day to 10 flounder per day, with a maximum boat limit of 20 flounder per day. “The Coastal Conservation Association came to SCDNR a couple of years ago with concerns about the state’s flounder population – just as SCDNR scientists were examining survey data that indicated the flounder population was in decline,” said David Whitaker, assistant deputy director of the agency’s Marine Resources Division. “We’ve been working since then to develop recommendations for the legislature to address the decline in the state’s flounder population.” The changes passed in the 2017 legislative season mark the first adjustments to flounder regulations since 2007. “The new size and bag limits should be effective in increasing the number of spawning flounder, and hopefully that should result in a recovery of the flounder population,” Whitaker said.

S. Shetty and Kurt James Weaver, all of Beaufort.

The office of U.S. Rep. Mark Sanford, R-SC, is accepting applications for fall 2017 internships, which run from mid-August through early December. The program gives interns a glimpse into the legislative process in Washington D.C. while providing them with a way to test the waters of a given field by working on projects related to their interests.

something that will make a difference for generations to come,” Moss said. The city, county and nonprofit Open Land Trust pledged a total of $3 million to acquire the scenic vista properties along the Boundary Street/Battery Creek marsh. A wooden boardwalk will link sidewalks along the area, and the future could bring walking paths

and park benches to the area, Moss said. Acquiring the Sonoco gas station property is part of the overall master plan for beautifying the area, Moss said. As part of the purchase deal, the gas station owner will be allowed to remove items such as gas pumps and anything inside the facility before it’s demolished, which is likely to occur in the next few months. Work to open up the marsh vista is part of the beautification effort related to the $32 million joint Boundary Street Improvement Corridor started in early 2016. The road

construction is on schedule for completion in early 2018 and is on budget, despite slowdowns from Hurricane Matthew and an earlier tropical storm. “We have been working closely with our partners, the Open Land Trust and Beaufort County, for many, many months on acquiring these properties,” said Beaufort City Manager Bill Prokop. “They are an important piece of our overall beautification of this key entrance to our historic city.” After the city bought the Sea Eagle Market property in 2016, the owners relocated

across Boundary Street and expanded to include a restaurant. Beaufort County bought the former Huddle House and the Beaufort County Open Land Trust bought the United Way building. Demolition of that structure has been delayed while the county uses it for office space. Once it and the gas station property are cleared, there will be an uninterrupted view of the scenic marsh from near Hogarth Street to Wendy’s, located beside Battery Saxton.

Growing up the daughter of a country doctor in rural North Carolina, Alice Beddingfield Moss had no aspiration to follow in her father’s footsteps. But despite her lack of interest in the medical profession as a youth, she would spend the greater part of her career working just like her dad to help improve the health and wellness of her community. Last month, Moss retired as executive director of the Beaufort Memorial Hospital Foundation. For nearly three decades she has served as the standard-bearer for charitable giving, helping raise $30 million for the only nonprofit hospital in the area. It was a vocation she serendipitously stumbled upon after moving to Beaufort in 1988 with her husband and two children. A graduate of University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a B.A. in American Studies and a master’s in Regional Planning, Moss started her career as a water quality and land use planner. She was working in North Carolina, administering a Community Development Block Grant Program, when her then-husband landed a job in the Lowcountry. Perusing the help wanted classifieds in the local newspaper, she spotted an ad for a new position at Beaufort Memorial Hospital. “They were looking for someone who could launch a fundraising organization for the hospital,” Moss said. “I had experience working with boards and developing programs, so it was a comfortable thing for me to do.” Hired initially as a part-time employee, she set up an office in an unused room in Beaufort Memorial’s surgical suite. From those humble beginnings, she built a department of seven employees that would go on to manage a wide range of fundraising ventures, including a $16 million endowment fund. Over the years, the Foundation has contributed to every facet of the hospital, from the Keyserling Cancer Center to the Cochrane Heart Center. It has provided funding to purchase pediatric rehabilitation equipment for HealthLink for Children, all of the exercise machines in the LifeFit Wellness Center, nine advanced ventilators for the ICU, cutting-edge 3-D mammography (breast tomosynthesis) for the Breast Health Center and much more. To achieve that kind of

success required the support of both the community and hospital employees. Getting everyone on board took some doing. “Beaufort Memorial started out as a small county hospital, so there was this perception that we didn’t have much to offer,” Moss recalled. “It was an image we had to overcome.” Moss also had difficulty convincing the hospital’s management team of the need for a foundation. “Up until then, there had never been any hospital-sponsored fundraising,” she said. It seemed even Mother Nature was putting up roadblocks. Her plans for the first major fundraiser had to be canceled when Hurricane Hugo hit the Lowcountry in the fall of 1989. But the following year, the Foundation hosted what would become its signature fundraising event – the Valentine Ball. Over the last 27 years, the wildly successful black-tie affair has raised more than $4.6 million. “It became our brand,” Moss said. “So many people think that’s all we do.” Far from it. In addition to the Valentine Ball, Foundation staff members organize the Duke Symphony Orchestra fundraiser, plan receptions at private homes, host donor recognition events, send out thank-you letters to contributors and meet with all new hospital employees to encourage them to participate in Our BMH, a payroll deduction giving program. “Over the last 30 years, it has been impossible to think of the BMH Foundation without thinking also of Alice,” said BMH board of directors Chairman Terry Murray. “She has been an incredibly effective and passionate leader for the foundation’s mission.” Moss’s last official day at the helm of the Foundation was June 16. Eager to enjoy her wellearned retirement, she set off almost immediately on a trip to Europe that included a cruise down the Rhine. She also attended the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. “I plan to do a lot of traveling,” Moss said. “I’d also like to read more and take better care of myself. That includes using all that new equipment at the LifeFit Wellness Center.” She plans to remain an active member of the Presbyterian Church of Beaufort and continue to sing with the Chancel Choir. And after years of making up titles for books she’s always wanted to write, she’s finally going to put pen to paper. “I’m getting together with my sister to work on something,” she said. “Writing the titles was the easy part."

AROUND TOWN & VOICES

Second Helpings partners with Beaufort farms Second Helpings, with funding provided by the Beaufort County Service Organization and Long Cove and other donors, implemented Phase One of its Healthy Food Pilot Program by partnering with Dempsey Farms and Pinckney Farms in Beaufort during the month of June. With these funds and others, over 700 families received 20-pound boxes each full of fresh produce picked days before delivery by Dempsey and Pickney farms. “Despite the tremendous amount of food donated by our food donors, made up of local grocery stores and restaurants, there is still a need for more fresh produce,” said Margie Tomczak, chairperson of Second Helpings Health Food Initiative. “The Second Helping board has initiated a Healthy Food Program to purchase fresh produce during the growing season. This produce is delivered at no cost to the agencies we serve.” Since last fall, Second Helpings has received hundreds of pounds of free fresh produce from Dempsey Farms in addition to the produce received from grocery store donations. This produce has been distributed to over 60 agencies in Beaufort, Hampton and Jasper counties. “This month, both Dave Dempsey of Dempsey Farms and Urbie West of Pinckney Farms personally boxed up over 700 20-pound boxes with produce from their fields,” said Tomczak. “These boxes were packed every week for four weeks. The first week boxes included tomatoes, onions, peppers, sweet potatoes, squash and other produce.” Recipient agencies were encouraged to

Volunteers load produce onto a truck to be delivered to over 60 agencies in Beaufort, Hampton and Jasper counties. Photo provided.

distribute one box per family and also to break down the boxes to offer produce to all of the people in need of fresh produce. “Donations and grants make this program possible and this is only the beginning,” said Jan Malinowski, president of Palmetto State Bank and president of Second Helpings. “Healthy eating helps a child to learn, a parent can control diseases resulting from

eating too much processed food and it leads to a more productive and healthy community. It’s a win-win for everyone. We look forward to growing this program.” Second Helpings is the only local nonprofit organization that rescues food from area food donors and provides the food to agencies for free. These agencies in turn distribute the food

to people living near their food pantry or soup kitchen. Second Helpings, a United Way- and South Carolina Secretary of State Angel-designated agency, celebrates 26 years of serving the Lowcountry and provides over 2 million meals annually.

The ‘staycation’ is the best vacation of all Every year, millions of Americans plan their annual summer vacation. This adventure usually involves car travel, plus hotels or rental property. It might even mean visiting amusement parks or relatives. At the time of the long sought-after vacation, the car is loaded with food, clothing, children’s toys/electronics, beach chairs and other miscellaneous needs. Then after a fun-filled holiday it is time to load the car again and return home; sometimes exhausted and sunburned. And, for many people, it means heading back to work the next day. Ah yes, the annual vacation! It did not take me long after starting a full-time job, while raising kids, to figure out that my all-time favorite vacation week was my “staycation.” This was an entire week off from work

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.

where I could just stay in my own house for more than two days without being sick. Oh, the joy. Putting on shorts and T-shirts every morning, going to the pool and catching up on my reading from the pile of books stacked next to my bed. What a treat to sit on the porch with a glass of iced tea and not have anything to do or have anywhere to go. The extra money I might have spent on

hotels and restaurants went towards enjoying my own home and town. Seven days of not having to get up early, commute to work or go to bed exhausted. For the most part, we spent the sunny days at the pool. My kids could play with friends and I could unwind. On the rainy days, we would close the curtains and put in a Beta tape (yes, I did not have a VHS) watch some movies like “Goonies” and eat

lots of popcorn with butter. We would treat ourselves to ice cream cones and pizza. By the end of the week, I would be rested up and more prepared for the work week ahead. Looking back, I think the kids might have thought it was boring. They liked the trips to Disney World and the beach. But now they have children and jobs of their own and it does not sound so boring after all. I think they appreciate the cost of a staycation versus a normal vacation also. It is quite a difference. Even though I do not work full time anymore, I still require a staycation. One or two weeks where there are no projects in the house, no outside commitments and no long drives on the interstates. Just time to sit around in shorts and a T-shirt and read the books stacked up next to the bed. My kids are so jealous!

The Greenies are at the gates but interim solutions falter Last week — which slipped by largely unnoticed — was a pivotal week in one of the great dramas of our time. To begin the story modestly, driving home I noticed that one of my neighbors is installing solar panels on his roof. The word has also circulated recently that a solar farm is going in where there is now farmland at the end of the road. Sailing in the northeast last summer, we saw what was described as a highly successful wind farm off Block Island in the Long Island Sound. Driving through the west we saw wind farms that went on for miles. Even SCE&G is now on board. They’re building a 6,156-panel solar farm on land adjacent to their headquarters in Cayce, according to a news release the company issued last week. The facility will come online in November, the company said. Energy generation from sustainable sources is working. And not just because of subsidies and tax breaks. The technologies, while continuing constantly to be improved, are now financially feasible. But there’s still one big problem: when the wind dies, or the rains come, or night falls, the generators stop. And the technology that would permit the storing of sufficient energy — the batteries with the capacity to store and provide adequate power when the generators are off — power enough to energize our homes and businesses aren’t there yet. A Bloomberg New Energy Finance report published last week predicted $239 billion will be spent worldwide on lithium-ion batteries by 2040. This money will go largely to batteries we charge during peak times to power our homes and businesses and cars during the off-peak times, the report said. B2

JULY 6 - 12, 2017

Those technologies, when taken together — wind, solar, lithium-ion batteries — will begin to move us in a substantial way away from our current fossil fuel dependence. But that is then and this Bill Rauch is now. The scientific community says in virtual unison that now is the time to get off the fossil fuels that provide inestimable comfort to our lives. Study after study finds there is a clear nexus between fossil fuel use and sea level rise. And the seas are demonstrably rising. Heeding the warnings, the Democrats in both the U.S. Senate and the California General Assembly are calling for a full transition to renewable energy sources. The greenies are at the gates. Marked sea level rise threatens chaos in ways unimaginable. What if not chaos would result from the federal government, for example, announcing that in the out years FEMA won’t continue to offer flood insurance for oceanfront lots? Who of sound mind thinks the private sector might then step in to save the day? How many trillions in real estate values would be lost that day? And that’s just in the USA. Regrettably wind and solar — now each growing like gangbusters — aren’t ready yet to pick up the slack. Neither certainly is their infant clean energy cousin, biothermal. That leaves clean coal and nuclear that might provide the clean bridge to the clean future, which is what prompted me to write about this subject today. Their respective prospects each took a beating last week.

South Carolina Electric and Gas (SCE&G) and its partner, Santee Cooper, are billions of dollars over budget and only about 38 percent complete at their jointly-owned state-ofthe-art V.C.Sumner 1&2 nuclear plants near Jenkinsville in the Midlands. SCE&G has already raised their rates across the board by about 20 percent to pay for the beleaguered project. The company’s customers (us) now pay more for a kilowatt hour of electricity than any other public electrical utility customers this side of Las Vegas. To make things worse, now SCE&G and Santee Cooper’s contractor for the project, The Westinghouse Electric Company, recently sought bankruptcy protection. SCE&G and Santee Cooper told the Public Service Commission last week that they’ll take until Aug. 10 to decide whether to go it alone building the two new reactors, or scale the project back to one new reactor, or scuttle it altogether. The company’s customers have already pitched in $1.4 billion of the $7.7 billion they (we) are now scheduled to pay under a recently-negotiated settlement agreement. If the utilities scrap the project, that money (our money) is gone. It was invested in a dinosaur farm. Meanwhile, last week the largest “clean coal” facility in the U.S. announced it would no longer burn coal to generate electricity, and that it would instead power the plant with natural gas. The Southern Company and Mississippi Power, the plant’s owners, will not turn on the “coal gasification” portion of their long-heralded Kemper County Power Plant, the companies said in a joint statement. This was the technology that was supposed to make coal clean. Now gone like the dinosaurs.

So if nuclear and clean coal aren’t going to provide the needed cleaner bridge to the future, what might? Last week it was also announced that dichloromethane levels have doubled in the stratosphere since 2004. What are they and why do they matter? Dichloromethanes are the little-regulated active ingredient in adhesives and industrial strength solvents that are used for stripping paint and degreasing kitchen, factory and automotive equipment. According to a British study reported on last week in the scientific journal Nature Communications, the dichloromethane gasses that are released when these adhesives and solvents are used both deplete the ozone layer (which had been reportedly healing itself as of late) and — the study says — they also trap heat in the atmosphere that contributes significantly to global warming. Since wrestling the chlorofluorocarbons to the ground at the beginning of this century, we’ve needed a new villain, a villain less central to our collective comfort than are the fossil fuels. Dichloromethanes may be it. Limiting their use might help buy some of the time needed to improve, build and distribute the batteries so that the energy derived from wind and solar can be stored. Maybe there’s still hope we’ll avoid the chaos. It was plenty hot enough in Beaufort last week. We lathered the boys in SPF 50 sunblock before they went off to their soccer camp. And, yes, the tides seeping silently up into the yard were plenty high enough too. Bill Rauch was the mayor of Beaufort from 1999-2008. Email Bill at TheRauchReport@ gmail.com.
