COVERING NORTHERN BEAUFORT COUNTY
Learn to Swim Program benefits from 3-Mile Race
By Bob Sofaly
Eighteen year old James Hammond, of Hilton Head Island, won the 9th Annual Beaufort River Swim last Saturday. This is a repeat for Hammond as he also won it last year. The Beaufort County YMCA sponsors this race to raise money to support their scholarships in their Learn to Swim Program. The 3-Mile Race starts at the Port Royal Landing Marina. The course winds through boats, buoys, and paddle boarders in open water and ends at the Downtown Marina’s boat ramp at the end of the Henry C. Chamber Waterfront Park. Race officials said there were 155 contestants for this year’s race plus a dozen more intrepid swimmers registered for the 1-Mile Fun Swim, a non-competitive race which allowed wet suits, swim fins and snorkels. The Fun Swim started at the Beaufort Memorial Hospital dock when all of the 3-Mile racers had passed. Participants started the race at dead low tide and enjoyed an outgoing tide for some of the race. However, as later swimmers neared the finish line the current proved too much and pushed them toward the boats tied at the marina. In the end, everyone made it safely to the finish line.

WHAT’S INSIDE?
Charles Wood never saw it coming. By all accounts, the Naval Hospital Beaufort maintenance supervisor was a healthy 59-year-old man. “I took no medications whatsoever,” Wood said. “Except for the occasional cold, I was never sick.” So, when his right hand went numb one afternoon while he was working on his computer, he assumed it had just fallen asleep. Within minutes, the numbness had crept up to his elbow and then to his shoulder. “It was like my arm wasn’t there,” he said.“I thought, oh shoot, I’m in trouble.” Before he knew what hit him, his eyesight became blurry and his right leg went out on him, causing him to fall to the floor. Hearing him yell for help, his wife Chris

She asked him to smile to see if his face was drooping—one of the signs of a stroke. “I couldn’t smile or stick out my tongue,” Wood recalled. “I was scared. I knew I was having a stroke.” Not 15 minutes after Wood arrived in Beaufort Memorial Hospital’s Emergency Department, he was being virtually examined by a stroke expert from Charleston thanks to MUSC Health’s Telestroke program. The physician was able to ask Wood questions and see his symptoms via an oversized computer screen. After reviewing his brain imaging studies, the neurologist confirmed Wood was having an ischemic stroke. About 87 percent of all strokes are ischemic, caused when a blood vessel to the brain is blocked by a clot. According to current guidelines published by the American Heart Association and the American Stroke Association, clot-busting medication should be started within 180 minutes of symptom onset with a goal of 60 minutes from the patient’s arrival in STROKE continued on page 4

THE PHILANTHROPY CORNER
More than 24 hours of generosity By Jim Marks
Lowcountry Giving Day on May 5th left a lasting impression on me. That afternoon I attended a celebration by one of the event’s participating non-profits. It was gratifying to see how our community supported this organization; more than 100 people were present at the event compared to about 30 the previous year. May 5th was about more than one non-profit, one day or even one community. The increase in people at that single event spoke volumes about the heightened awareness of Lowcountry Giving Day in our area and the support it enjoyed from our donors. But most importantly, it highlighted the generous spirit of our community that keeps us going year-round. Part of that spirit is reflected in the actual numbers. In just 24 hours, Lowcountry Giving Day raised more than $225,000 for 19 non-profits in our region. Some of them are based in Beaufort itself, but others are located south of the Broad River or in Colleton and Jasper counties, benefitting from the generosity of local donors who saw the potential impact of supporting our Beaufort neighbors. Beyond dollars, the community support largely resulted from a broader understanding of and appreciation for the power of matching gifts. Members of the Beaufort Listening Network, a volunteer arm of the Coastal Community Foundation, spent the days proceeding May 5th putting up posters at local businesses, community centers and oth-
er public locations. Area merchants fully supported and cooperated with their work. Restaurants like Fat Patties donated dollars to the cause while Moe’s Jim Marks and Chipotle provided food for the non-profits who hosted events in connection with the day. Lowcountry Giving Day inspired our community to support the local causes so deserving of contributions and so important to us. Outside our area, the event raised millions of dollars for other communities along the coast that, like us, were participants in Coastal Community Foundation’s landmark event. Outside the Lowcountry, thousands more donors across the country participated in giving days through the national Give Local America partnership that raised a total of $68.5 million. While Lowcountry Giving Day focused on matching gifts over one day for qualifying non-profits, the spirit of philanthropy so prominently on display here is what Coastal Community Foundation works on every other day of the year. The Foundation works with local individuals and families to facilitate and advise their giving plans. Staff members provide expert advice about giving plans and options based on more than forty years of experience. Coastal Community Foundation also provides vital support for non-profit
organizations to create a strong, healthy non-profit sector. The Foundation provides technical support for nonprofits on topics like building their own donor bases, annual giving or creating an endowment. Funding is the most critical element in the non-profit world, and through The Beaufort Fund, Coastal Community Foundation has awarded nearly $7 million to non-profits in Beaufort, Jasper, Hampton and Colleton counties since 1998. The 24 hour Lowcountry Giving Day was certainly a great success with our friends and neighbors rallying to support local organizations. Even with that success, Coastal Community Foundation welcomes comments and ideas from all corners as they go through their own evaluation process. You are invited to pass along your comments by email at givingday@coastalcommunity.org or by phone at (843) 723-3635. However, I also encourage you to use those contacts to learn more about Coastal Community Foundation’s work outside of Lowcountry Giving Day in Beaufort. The other 364 days are just as incredible. Jim Marks is a board member of Coastal Community Foundation. Each week, Coastal Community Foundation highlights organizations, donors and other charitable news in The Philanthropy Corner. If you’re interested in learning more about philanthropy in the Lowcountry, reach out to our regional Stewardship Officer, Gloria Duryea, at Gloria@CoastalCommunityFoundation. org or (843) 379-3400.

Wood received the lifesaving drugs in 48 minutes. “Two million neurons are lost every minute blood flow is blocked to the brain,” said MUSC Health Telestroke program manager Ellen Debenham. “It can lead to some devastating disabilities.” Beaufort Memorial is one of 18 hospitals across the state participating in the MUSC Health Telestroke program, part of a statewide initiative focused on reducing the incidence of stroke and augmenting provision of acute stroke care in South Carolina. “The stroke program is one of the first services to offer telehealth,” Debenham said. “It’s really the wave of the future.” The potentially life-saving network connects partnering hospitals with immediate, round-the-clock access to MUSC Health’s stroke care experts. With the activation of this network, almost all of South Carolina is within an hour of expert stroke care. To date, the MUSC Health Telestroke program has provided expert consultative care to some 6,000 stroke patients in South Carolina. “We’re averaging 15 patients a month that can now receive an urgent consultation,” said Beaufort Memorial Hospital stroke coordinator Sheri O’Brien.

experts even in cases where they suspect a patient is having a “mini-stroke” known as a transient ischemic attack (TIA). While TIAs generally do not cause permanent brain damage, they are a serious warning sign that a stroke may happen in the future. “If we know a patient has had a TIA, we can get them on blood-thinning medication and recommend lifestyle changes that could prevent another stroke,” O’Brien said. The fifth leading cause of death in the United States, stroke ranks as the No. 3 killer in South Carolina, part of an 11-state region in the United States known as the Stroke Belt. “We have three great neurologists in Beaufort, but it’s difficult for them to be available immediately in our Emergency Department 24/7,” O’Brien said. “With the telemedicine cart, we can reach an MUSC Health
neurologist within 10 minutes.” Less than 48 hours after being wheeled into the BMH Emergency Department on May 3rd, Wood was discharged from the hospital with virtually no deficits. He was back to work in a week. Since his initial treatment in the hospital, Wood has continued to receive follow-up care from a Beaufort Memorial neurologist. After seeing a physical therapist, he was able to regain full dexterity in his right hand, allowing him to once again enjoy his favorite hobby—playing the guitar and piano. “I feel fantastic,” the Port Royal resident said. “I’m very grateful for what the ER staff did for me that day. They worked like ants. Their fast response saved me from having any permanent damage.”
Face Drooping – Does one side of the face droop or is it numb? Ask the person to smile. Is the person’s smile uneven? Arm Weakness – Is one arm weak or numb? Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward? Speech Difficulty – Is speech slurred? Is the person unable to speak or hard to understand? Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence, like “The sky is blue.” Is the sentence repeated correctly? Time to call 9-1-1 – If someone shows any of these symptoms, even if the symptoms go away, call 9-1-1 and get the person to the hospital immediately. Check the time so you’ll know when the first symptoms appeared. Source: American Stroke Association

Showcasing the most happening events, people and gatherings Beaufort has to offer.
By Bob Sofaly
It was all smiles as anglers weighed and measured their potentially trophy winning fish at the conclusion of the 60th annual Beaufort Water Festival Fishing Tournament last Saturday. “We had 40 boats in the competition this year,” according to Henri Madlinger, the Festival’s Fishing Tournament chairman. “That’s up seven boats from last year.” The Tournament allows up to 10 different species to be caught and weighed. Everything from Flounder
and Blue Fish to Red and Black Drum were caught and recorded with the Red Drum or Spot Tail Bass, as they are called in the Lowcountry, being the most unlucky fish of the Tournament. Some of the anglers said the weather was perfect for fishing in creeks that feed into the Broad River. Some said it was bit choppy first thing in the morning but nothing of consequence. Men and women of all ages, including nine-year-old Brody Crider, were on hand to weigh their catch. Brody entered his Flounder caught near Laurel Bay which, when we left, was a contender!
David Temple, right, makes sure he gets every fraction of an inch while measuring his 14 and-a-quarter-inch Flounder.
Amy Banks shows off her 23-inch, 4-pound Red Drum after having it weighed in.

A focus on students, teachers and educational events in northern Beaufort County
Class of 2015 grads awarded $30 million in scholarships The Beaufort County School District’s Class of 2015 has earned a record $30 million in college scholarships, and its members have acceptance letters in hand from more than 100 colleges and universities across the nation. This year’s record scholarship total represents a $3 million increase over last year and a dramatic improvement from $11.1 million just five years ago. “The kind of improvement is encouraging, and it says a lot about the commitment of our students, parents and educators,” said Superintendent Jeff Moss.
“It demonstrates our students understand the value of additional education after high school, and also that they’re willing to work hard to get that education and have successful careers.” More than a thousand seniors donned caps and gowns to receive their diplomas during this year’s graduation ceremonies at five high schools across the district. “High school graduation is a celebration that focuses on our students, and that’s as it should be,” said Board of Education Chairman Bill Evans. “But as we spotlight our students, we should also acknowledge
the support they received from their parents and families, and also from their teachers, school leaders and staff.

Bridges Prep names new Head of School Dr. Benjamin Rollins, an experienced teacher, school administrator and college professor, is Bridges Preparatory School’s new Head of School and will work to continue the innovative charter school’s academic and enrollment growth. “We are thrilled to have Dr. Rollins as our Head of School at Bridges Prep,” said Dee Matthews, Chair of the Bridges Board of Directors. “He brings an exceptional background, demonstrated success and enormous energy to our school. We look forward to great achievements.” Bridges Preparatory School, chartered by South Carolina in mid-2012, opened at near capacity in August 2013. Since that time the school has grown and solidified its presence in historic downtown Beaufort. The Bridges Board of Directors selected Rollins after an intensive six-month search. He formally starts July 1 but will be in Beaufort this month with his wife and two children. “He is a natural fit for our school,” Matthews said. “Dr. Rollins is an amazing teacher and that classroom success helps him connect with both the students and the
teachers. He also understands the administrative side of work and is ready to help Bridges Prep move forward.” A former college professor, high school principal and educaDr. Benjamin tional consultant for Rollins independent schools in the Southeast, Rollins has established a proven record of investing students, faculty, parents and the broader community in a school’s mission and values. Much of his research on school leadership focuses on Mortimer Adler’s work with Paideia education – the foundation of Bridges Preparatory School’s educational philosophy. Already, Rollins has provided the Bridges Prep Board of Directors a proposed 100-Day Plan, which centers on three main areas: 1. Understanding the school culture – becoming familiar with the people, processes, partnerships and communities
around Beaufort which represent and comprise Bridges Prep 2. Analyzing critical issues – identify and analyze primary issues facing Bridges Prep and to establish a priority in moving forward with the charter school’s strategic plan 3. Communicating effectively and engaging the community – improve communications and community engagement through responsive, open and honest communications practices, and to foster productive relationships with key stakeholders by delivering timely, accurate information and then listening to people. Rollins brings 14 years of experience in engaging key school stakeholders. Through his work in independent schools and in the University System of Georgia, he has developed a passion for strategic planning, fundraising, curriculum and technology, innovative professional development, and accreditation. He graduated summa cum laude from Berry College with a bachelor’s degree in English and also completed a master’s degree from Berry with a concentration in
educational administration. Rollins ignited his passion for Shakespeare and the Renaissance while studying at Oxford University in England, and he completed a Doctor of Philosophy degree in early modern literature from Georgia State University. From 2006-2014, Rollins worked at Mount de Sales Academy in Macon, GA. Founded in 1876, the school serves about 600 students in grades 6-12 on a 70-acre campus. At Mount de Sales, Rollins served as Upper School Principal and previously as Dean of Academics, Director of College Counseling and an English teacher. While teaching Advanced Placement English, Rollins’ students had a 3.9 class average on the exam, which is scored from 1-5, and had a 90 percent pass rate on the AP exam with students scoring 3 or higher. From 2014 until his hiring at Bridges, Rollins worked as an educational consultant specializing in student test preparation and helping schools increase enrollment and find better, more creative ways to evaluate teachers.
Annual Senior Tea — A Beaufort Academy tradition Beaufort Academy’s 47th Annual Senior Tea was held at the home of the Verity family. The tradition was initiated in 1969 when the BA Board of Directors’ wives hosted a tea for the women of the first graduating class. The special tea was their way of honoring these young women by sharing with them the southern 8
tradition of gracious entertaining. In 1973, the Junior Class in conjunction with the Parents’ Association took over the event and continues to carry on the tradition to the present day. Congratulations to the young ladies in the Class of 2015, and kudos to the Class of 2016 and the Parents’ Association on a wonderful event.

Remember when Now what?
By Lee Scott
It is fun as you grow older to recall things that happened in the past. Those amusement parks you went to with a sibling or a friend or the vacation you took with your family. All those childhood experiences that happened or at least your memory’s version of what happened. Sitting around with my siblings recently and reminiscing, I found it was amazing to discover their version of the same event. “No, they say, Jean was not there. That was Martha.” I laugh when this happens because my father used to ask us as we grew older, “What was your recollection of an event?” He understood that because we were at different ages and stages of our lives that our perspectives of past events might be different. He loved to hear the eight different memories.
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, Lee 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.
My oldest sister was six months shy of graduating from high school and off to college when our youngest brother was born. Their memories of the family are so different and their perspective of family gatherings were totally opposite since she was already an adult while he was still in the sandbox. Recently, I wrote a piece about the houseboat, The Biofore, that was brought
Letter to the Editor The Island News encourages all our readers to share their thoughts, reactions, and concerns with us about what we publish or the larger world around us and we will share the appropriate ones with you. - Molly Ingram, Editor
Dear Editor,
Many years ago, when I ran for the South Carolina House of Representatives, I asked an older lady for her vote. “I never vote,” she replied, “It just encourages them!” I think now, perhaps she was right. Take, for example, South Carolina’s senior senator, Lindsay Graham, who received only fifty-six percent of his party’s vote in the last election, and who now takes that as a mandate to run for president. Graham never misses an opportunity to zealously advocate a
to land and used as a summer rental by our family and sent it out to family members. My siblings and cousins all had their own memories of the place, some correct and some not, but it did not matter. They were all good memories. Now I find that it is interesting that when pulling from memories of being four years old, I find that the specifics of the events do not really matter. It is the sentiment. My
foreign policy that stresses what can only be labeled “nation building,” that is, he wants the United States to go around the world and impose American-style “democracy” on countries, many of which still live contentedly in the 12th century and which have never had any experience with democracy. And if it takes American intervention and the deaths of American boys to do it, no matter. I just finished reading a book entitled Descent into Chaos: The United States and the Failure of Nation Building, which recounts the colossal failure of this theory of foreign policy under both Democrats and Republicans. After Bosnia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Somalia, Yemen, and Egypt, we should have learned that lesson, but apparently too many politicians have not. A good example of the wrongheaded bipartisan incompetence that occurs in Washington is the US government’s support of the Free Syrian Army. These “champions of democracy” are enthusiastically embraced by the likes of Hillary Clinton, Lindsay Graham, and most of the current Republicans running for president. An exception is Senator Rand Paul, whose father, Ron Paul, was treated like an escapee from a mental asylum when he suggested that our Iraqi
grandfather used to take me, my brother (one year older) and my little sister (two years younger) to a little candy shop when we would visit. He would buy us candy cigarettes, candy necklaces and some other equally heavily laden sugar products. He would act surprised that I was smoking and suggest that maybe I should kick the habit. He would tell my sister how beautiful she looked in her candy necklace and shake his head at my brother as he sucked down the flavored juice out of a wax figure and then chewed the wax. Whether that memory is exactly as I have presented, does not matter. At some point, I went to the candy store with Grandpa. At some point I was with Sandy and Allison in a candy store and at some point, I thought I was really cool smoking those candy cigarettes. It is my memory.
war policy was seriously flawed. Earlier this year I was in Beirut, Lebanon, when I picked up a local newspaper and saw a front-page photograph of “Rebel Jihadists,” including the US-backed “Free Syrian Army” and Al-Nusra, the notoriously brutal AlQaeda affiliate, embracing in celebration of the capture of a town in Northern Syria. The US has been on their side, supplying them with training and weapons. The last time I checked, the government of Syria was not involved in any terrorist attacks on the United States. It was Al-Qaeda, not the government of BasharAl-Assad, that destroyed the World Trade Center in New York on September 11th, 2001. In point of fact, currently the Syrian government kills more jihadists in a month than US air strike forces do in a year. With politicians like ours, the vicious war in Syria will only worsen. If the US is successful in overthrowing the Syrian government, thousands of Christians will die at the hands of US-backed terrorists. So much for the Bush, Clinton, Graham, and Rubio brand of American “nation building.”
Sincerely, Richard T. Hines

By Celia Strong
Sounds good, doesn’t it? And it is. Promise. Just hold on while we take care of our business and you’ll see what I mean. And, you’ll be drinking some too. Or let’s hope you are. Just so you know, lots of surprises this week. A new grape variety, and coming from an unexpected wine area. In the end, though, after all our “work,” we’ll all be happy. As usual. I guess, if we start with our new grape, it will be easier. It is Müller-Thurgau. (muleer tur-gow) And, yes, it does sound like a German grape. In fact, it was created in 1882, by Hermann Müller who lived in the canton (German county, sort of ) of Thurgau. Müller made this new variety by crossing Riesling and Madeleine Royale, another white grape that ripens as early as July 22 so it was named for Sainte Madeleine whose feast day is July 22. Müller, who worked at the Geisenheim Grape Breeding Institute, was trying to produce a new variety that would have the complexities of Riesling and still be able to ripen early. In Germany, cool and cold weather often starts before the grapes are all ripe. This can cause loss of crops to some extent, shortages in wine production and low income from a vintage. Trying to get around that, with an earlier ripening variety, made sense. Over all the years since it was created, the popularity of MüllerThurgau has risen and fallen and risen a bit, again. Today, there are almost thirty-five thousand acres of planted Müller-Thurgau vines. That’s about fourteen percent of their total, making it the number two most planted variety. In 2007, the Geisenheim Institute celebrated the grape’s 125th year. Müller-Thurgau can be grown in a wide range of soils and climates. This made it possible to plant grapes where it had only been profitable to plant sugar beets before. In addition to maturing early, these vines produce large yields. Their wines tend to be lower in acidity, but still fruity. And, mostly, meant to be drunk young. Wines made from Müller-Thurgau are sometimes also labeled Rivaner and Riesling-Sylvaner. (Before DNA testing, it was thought Sylvaner was the second parent of MüllerThurgau, not Madeleine Royale.) Here’s one more interesting tidbit about Müller-Thurgau. In the winter of 1979,
Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island.
temperatures in Germany dropped to twenty degrees Fahrenheit on January 1st. Granted there were no grapes on the vines, but huge numbers of vines died from being frozen. Most of their Riesling survived, because it had thicker and hardier stems. This led to fewer plantings of MüllerThurgau, as the growers planted more and different varieties to avoid future losses. Besides Germany, there are plantings of Müller-Thurgau in Austria, Hungary, Switzerland, and the United States and, for us this week, Italy. Having told you all about MüllerThurgau and Germany, here’s a kicker. Our wine this week comes from Italy. Yikes! But, northeastern Italy has a particular history. There are distinct German and Austrian influences in this area. Located in the Southern Alps and Dolomites, the South Tyrol (as the area is known) includes Trentino and Alto Adige. For a long time, this whole area was under the rule of Austria-Hungary and the Holy Roman Empires. This area was not annexed into Italy until the end of the First World War Winemaking in the South Tyrol existed before the Romans. Archeological findings, from as early as 400BC, show that winemaking was already three thousand years old. Today, much of the winemaking in the area is done at co-ops, about seventy percent. Only about five percent of their total production now is estate wines - made from grapes grown and wines made on the property. Most of their wines are labeled for the grape variety used to make them - like with German wines. Many of the bottles they use are the tall, thin German-style bottles. And, surprise, many of the producer and winery names on the bottles are German. Or German sounding. The soils and climates here are varied, but, overall, the area gets three hundred days of sunshine each year. Way more than Germany. And warmer days, too. The average temperature
“It’s one of the reasons we’re always rated as a strong bank.”
during t h e g row i n g season is about sixty-five degrees Fahrenheit. Nice. The lowest vineyards are at about seven hundred fifty above sea level and the highest are thirty-two hundred and fifty feet. Some of the world’s best Pinot Grigios come from this area. Also Pinot Bianco and Pinot Nero. Then, there are Chardonnays and Sauvignon Blancs. And, from their connection with Germany, Rieslings, Sylvaners, Veltliners, Gewurztraminers and Müller-Thurgau. Which gets us closer to you know what. Our wine is the Schreckbichl Colterenzio Müller-Thurgau. A tough name, for sure. Partly Germanic, partly Italian. Schreckbichl is a hamlet, located south of the city of Bolzano, in the Alto Adige, where there is a rich and long history of grape growing. In 1960, a group of twenty-eight growers and estates decided to pool their resources and form a co-op. By sharing grapes from almost eight hundred acres of choice vineyards, they are able to share production and marketing costs and control qauality to make better wines. They are considered to be one of the two or three best producers in the whole South Tyrol area. For our Müller-Thurgau, the grapes come from cool, higher elevation vineyards, in clayey soils with eroded limestone and dolomite. After harvest, the grapes are gently pressed and left to decant naturally. Fermentation is done in stainless steel tanks and the wines are left in the tanks, to sit on their lies, for several months before bottling. This wine has delicate aromas (look for elderflower, muscat and peaches) and citrus flavors along with them. There are greenish
nuances in the wine, fresh acidity and floral notes. It definitely shows its connection with Rieslings. For food, our MüllerThurgau goes well with salads, mildly spicy Thai and other Asian dishes, and deep fried seafood of all kinds. Pretty much what we live on all summer here? But, wait a minute. What does “Best of Show” mean? Well, I was introduced to this wine at the Habersham “Bottles and Barrels” event this year. Where it was judged to be the “Best of Show” white wine! And that means it is my job is to get it to you! And, also, to give you a name for it that we can all pronounce. So, just ask for the “Best of Show” wine. That’s as easy as we can make it. For $12.99. That’s as good as Müller-Thurgau gets. Enjoy.
Capital strength is one of the factors they look at to determine the strength and safety of a bank. How much capital a bank has in relation to its assets is a mark of stability among banks. We always maintain a high capital to assets ratio. It’s one of the reasons we’re always rated as a strong bank.
