Board selects veteran educator to serve as interim superintendent
By a unanimous vote on Thursday, June 7, the Beaufort County Board of Education selected an award-winning veteran school administrator to serve as the district’s interim superintendent. Herbert M. Berg, who has held superintendent positions at school districts in three states, was the board’s choice to guide the district during the search for a permanent superintendent. “I’m very excited to work with the board, with school faculty and administrators, with district staff and with the Beaufort County community as a whole,” Berg said. “We’ll all
work together to make sure that the district’s 22,000 students get a rigorous world-class education during the upcoming academic year.” Berg has spent a total of 46 years in education, Herbert M. including 37 years in suBerg perintendent positions at six school districts in Washington, Virginia and South Carolina. In South Carolina, Berg served as superintendent in Kershaw County and Lexington/Richland District 5.
Berg also worked for 10 years with the U.S. Department of State to improve American schools in China. His professional recognitions include being honored as National Tech-Savvy Superintendent by eSchool News and having twice been named to the “Top 100” list of American superintendents by the American Association of School Administrators. He also served as state president of the Washington Association of School Administrators. Berg has a bachelor’s degree from Seattle Pacific University, a master’s degree from Seattle University and a Ph.D from Washing-
ton State University. “I think we chose the best-qualified candidate and someone who is capable of moving us forward,” said Board Chair Earl Campbell. The process of selecting a permanent superintendent is expected to take from six to 12 months. Seven board members were named to a committee that will evaluate search firms with experience in conducting nationwide superintendent searches. The committee will then choose one search firm to recommend to the full board for its approval. SEE BOARD, PAGE A5
Whale Branch seniors earn two-year college degrees along with their high school diplomas Most students wait until after their high school graduation to focus on college, but 14 Whale Branch Early College High School seniors picked up their high school diplomas on Wednesday, June 6, having already earned two years of college course credits.

Whale Branch Early College High School graduated 100 seniors during its 2018 commencement exercises on Wednesday, June 6, at the school’s Earl Campbell Athletic Complex in Seabrook.
The students took advantage of a partnership with the Technical College of the Lowcountry that allows Whale Branch students to take college courses – and earn two-year associate’s degrees – while still in high school at no cost to themselves or their parents. The TCL degree represents a two-year head-start as the students work toward earning a Bachelor’s degree or entering the workforce. Eleven Whale Branch seniors actually earned double TCL associate’s degrees in both Arts and Science. They are Christiana Badger, Jasiah Ballenger, Xzavia Bryan, Adaiya Byas, Jhonatan Diaz, Charles-Michael Garner, Sydney Lucas, Kyra Owens, Nickayla Riley, Rebecca Roell, and Gabrielle White. Ballenger also won the Young Achiever Award and was selected to be the first high school student to deliver the student address at TCL’s commencement ceremonies on May 11. This year, for the first time in school history, a Whale Branch junior — Allie Rodgers — also earned double associate’s degrees. Two seniors – Joy Green and Desmonies White – earned associate’s degrees in Arts. Eight other seniors graduated from Whale Branch with college certificates for completing significant college-level coursework at TCL: Kyla Allen, Robert Alston, Elexcia Brown, Xzavier Bryan, Richard Campbell, Anthony McVay, Nya Simmons, and Taevondru White. The joint WBECHS-TCL initiative is completing its seventh year. While any district student can take college-level courses at TCL, Whale Branch’s instructional program is built around its TCL partnership. Twenty-one percent of this year’s graduates completed college classes and earned college credits. “Year in and year out, Whale Branch’s early college program is a winner for students and their parents,” said Superintendent Jeff Moss. “Earning a fouryear college degree in just two years means paying for only two years of tuition. That’s hard to beat.” College courses are offered on site at Whale Branch, and students have the option of taking additional courses at the TCL campus. Among some of the most popular college courses are Probability and Statistics, College Algebra, Western Civilization and English Composition I.

NEWS NEWS BRIEFS Vehicle found off roadway, no occupants located
The Burton Fire District responded to a reported motor vehicle accident the morning of Friday, June 8, on Trask Parkway involving a vehicle that was found off the roadway, but no occupants were located. Just after 11:30 a.m., Burton firefighters arrived on Trask Parkway just north of Detour Rd. to find a work van that had left the roadway and come to rest in the tree line on Trask Parkway. Firefighters checked the van and the immediate area and no occupants, signs of injures, or hazards were found. S.C. Highway Patrol was notified, and one southbound land of Trask Parkway was slowed for approximately 30 minutes while emergency crews searched for victims and hazards.
Mosquito treatments scheduled this week
Beaufort County Mosquito Control may conduct aerial and/or ground treatments from June 11 to
15. Mosquito Control applies EPA-registered public health insecticides during ideal weather using low-flying aircraft throughout daylight hours and spray trucks from about 11 p.m. to 6:30 a.m. For additional information, please contact Mosquito Control at 843-2555800.
Kitten rescued from tree collapse
Burton firefighters rescued a feral kitten that had been trapped inside a collapsed tree for over a day and reported the kitten was doing well at a local veterinarian office. Just before noon on Monday, June 4, Beaufort County Animal Control officers called Burton firefighters to a residence on Island Tank Road for a “cat stuck in a tree,” but firefighters found the situation was a bit more complicated. It is believed that the 3-month-old kitten was in the tree during the previous day’s storm when a limb broke from the tree, and the kitten became stuck by its tail and a rear leg under the base of the limb where it attaches to the tree trunk.
Residents were preparing to cut and remove the tree when they heard the kitten’s cries and called Animal Control. After several attempts to free the kitten using various tools, firefighters were eventually able to free the kitten by using hydraulic spreaders normally reserved for moving twisted metal in automobile accidents. The kitten was taken by Animal Control to a local veterinarian where it was being treated for its injuries and severe dehydration.

Don't Let Your Investments Go on “Vacation” Summer is here – and so is vacation season. Americans spend a lot on their summer getaways – more than $100 billion in 2017 alone, as reported in Travel and Leisure magazine. When you hit the road, you will enjoy getting away from your regular tasks, but there's one part of your life that should never take a break – your investments. To keep your investments working consistently and efficiently for you, consider these suggestions: • Match the right investment with the right “job.” You hire an electrician to install a light fixture, you employ a plumber to clear a clogged drain, and you would not expect either one to work on the other's project. In a way, this view of a division of labor is similar to how you might look at different investments. In general, you purchase stocks with the hope of achieving the growth necessary to help you meet long-

On the other hand, when you purchase certain fixedrate investments such as certificates of deposit (CDs) or money market accounts, you know they Brandon M. won't provide as much Cox, CFP growth potential, but are available to fund a short-term goal – such as a dream vacation. • Evaluate investments’ performance relative to your goals. Some people think the only way to evaluate their investments’ performance is to track them against a wellknown market index, such as the S&P 500. However, using an index as a measuring stick has some drawbacks, one of which is the lack of a personal connection to your situation. Look at it this way: In many types

of organizations, you typically go through performance reviews, where your work is assessed in terms of how well it helped you move toward your goals – and you can follow the same process with your investments. Specifically, you can measure their performance by how effective they are in helping you move toward your financial objectives. For example, if you need your portfolio to provide you with a certain rate of return to meet specific retirement goals at a designated age, but you find that you are not currently on track toward meeting these goals, you may need to adjust your investment mix to potentially provide you with a higher return. Be aware, though, that seeking higher return potential will likely mean taking on more risk. You may want to consult with a financial professional to make sure you find a risk/reward ratio suitable for your goals and risk tolerance.
• Look for hard-working investments. Some investments work especially hard. Some stocks, or investments containing stocks, pay dividends. Instead of taking the dividends, you can choose to reinvest them, purchasing even more shares – and increased share ownership is one key to helping build financial resources for the long term. Dividend reinvestment is typically automatic, so once you have chosen this option, there's really no extra work on your part. (Keep in mind, though, that companies are not obligated to pay dividends, and they can be reduced or eliminated at any time.) In the investing arena, as in many endeavors, hard work can be rewarding. So look for opportunities to keep your investments gainfully employed throughout your life. This article was submitted by Brandon M. Cox, CFP, Financial Advisor at Edward Jones.

SCHOOLS
Franks, Gibbs among 2018 Reverend Pinckney Scholars Recent Beaufort High School graduate Jasmyne Franks and recent Battery Creek High School graduate Armani Gibbs are among nine members of this year’s cohort of scholarship recipients of the Reverend Pinckney Scholars Program. Coastal Community Foundation (CCF) established the program in memory of the late Rev. Clementa C. Pinckney and in response to the June 17, 2015, massacre at Charleston’s Emanuel A.M.E. Church. CCF also announced that several of the original anonymous donors to the program had contributed an additional $3 million to increase dramatically the scope of the program. “Furthering your education was always important to Clementa. He valued it and felt it should not be taken for granted,” says Jennifer Pinckney, widow of Rev. Pinckney. “I know that he is smiling down as he sees all of the Pinckney Scholars moving forward in life to improve upon themselves and strive to make a better future.” The program will now include three key components: scholarships for higher education; college counseling; and career development. The four-year renewable scholarship program, which is dedicated to promoting access to higher education for African American students, will benefit nine Class of 2018 scholars from Beaufort, Charleston, and Jasper counties who will receive up to $10,000 for each of their four years of college, in addition to supportive resources such as professional development and networking opportunities, through the foundation during their college career. The first two classes of scholars (a total of 21 students) are thriving at 18 colleges and universities. CCF reports that all scholars remain enrolled and their cumulative grade point average is 3.68. In addition, their list of accomplishments to date is lengthy and impressive. Applicants are selected based on three main criteria: academic performance, substantial financial need, and leadership potential.

About the Reverend Pinckney Scholars Fund and Program On July 2, 2015, a group of anonymous donors, moved by the tragic murders at Mother Emanuel A.M.E. Church and Charleston’s remarkable response to the shooting, created a $3.2 million scholarship fund in honor of Reverend Clementa C. Pinckney. In March 2016, Coastal Community Foundation began to administer the scholarship fund and its companion program, the Reverend Pinckney Scholars Program. The program will support up to 40 students (up to 10 per class year) with renewable 4-year undergraduate scholarships; professional development, internship, and networking opportunities, and beginning in Fall 2018 will administer a companion program to assist high school juniors with the college application process and financial aid literacy. About Coastal Community Foundation Coastal Community Foundation (CCF) helps create vibrant communities by uniting people and investing resources. Founded in 1974 to make a lasting impact through permanent, endowed funds for charitable giving, CCF embodies the core values of stewardship, integrity, inclusion with equity, and courage. CCF serves nine counties across coastal South Carolina, manages more than $250 million in assets (among the top 100 community foundations in the nation), and awarded more than $17 million in grants in 2016. To learn more, visit coastalcommunityfoundation.org or call (843) 723-3635. THE PROGRAM AND 2018-19 ENHANCEMENTS Scholars are eligible to renew their award each year by maintaining good standing in the program, with an expected total award of approximately $360,000 to the Class of 2018 over their four years of college. The program—now in its third year—is supporting 30 students in total with a dollar amount of nearly $240,000 being awarded in the 20182019 academic year across the three cohorts. “This program gives promising students an opportunity to attend their school of choice,” says Darrin Goss, Sr., President and CEO of Coastal Community Foundation. “Feeling a sense of belonging in the place where one studies is a key ingredient to academic, social, and civic engagement, which is integral to student achievement.” CCF has identified a need to reach students earlier in their high school years and a need to provide them with more opportunities during their undergraduate experience. Thanks to the generosity of three of the fund’s original donors, CCF will now be able to help meet these needs. These program enhancements focus on supporting scholars in three areas identified as critical for academic success:

BJWSA levels are 2% of the EPA’s drinking water standard. BJWSA will continue its extensive monitoring program for tritium and report to HIU. South Carolina’s Source Water Assessment Program, mandated by 1996 Amendments to the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act, is aimed at protecting public drinking water supplies at the source – the rivers, lakes and streams all across South Carolina. As part of this program, a source water assessment of the Savannah River Basin has been completed. This assessment is part of a program to identify what and where pollution prevention efforts are necessary to ensure the future safety of our community’s drinking water and to implement those protective measures. SC Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) has complied the assessments from all water utilities in the state into a Source Water Protection Program. DHEC’s assessment included consideration of eight categories of potential contaminants: volatile organic compounds, petroleum products, metals, nitrates, pesticides/herbicides, pathogens, radionuclides and undetermined. The assessment identified and mapped sources that could potentially release these contaminants, such as gas stations, dry cleaners, agricultural areas, automobile repair shops, landfills, septic systems, and manufacturers, businesses and facilities where potential contaminants are used or stored. DHEC compiled an initial inventory of potential contaminants at 22 sources within the Savannah River basin. Zero sources had a high susceptibility ranking; 17 had a moderate susceptibility ranking and 5 had a low susceptibility ranking. The information in the Source Water Assessment Report will be the foundation of a local effort to improve protection of our drinkingLikely water Source sources.of Contamination Erosion of natural deposits.

COMMUNITY MURAL PROJECT is tunneling its way through Beaufort’s history STORY AND PHOTOS BY RON CALLARI
B
eaufort artists have mobilized to create a historic mural on the walls of a unique tunnel at the Technical College of the Lowcountry. This underground passage extends from Building 1 on the east side of Ribaut Road, under the thoroughfare, to the Student Center on the west side of campus. Artists are envisioning adding vivid historic tales and events of Beaufort County spanning over three centuries, from its inception in 1711, through the Reconstruction era, up to modern day. This art installation will attract ‘creatives’ from all disciplines. Their collaboration will blend painting, sculpture, Gullah art, adinkra symbols, as well as workshops and performance art that will include music, storytelling, poetry, active sketching and folklore. The selection of this location was historically relevant, since the TCL campus was once the home of the Mather School. Established during the Reconstruction era, this site – largely overlooked by historians – was a boarding school that dedicated its focus to educating the daughters of former slaves.
Abraham Brown, who studied at Savannah College of Art and Design, was the first artist to add a life-size illustration at the entryway of the tunnel located on the western end of Ribaut Road. In conjunction with the dedication of the Community Mural Project on February 24, 2017, Brown was assisted by other artists to add the finishing brush strokes to paintings of five Civil War soldiers. As a work in progress, the uniforms of these Union soldiers’ were painted in the regulation color of dark blue. This imagery is representative of the many black slaves who joined the cause to assist the North versus the South.
Historically, the 1st S.C. Colored Troops received their regimental colors and were accepted into the army on the same day the Emancipation Proclamation was read in Beaufort, on Jan. 1, 1863. Going forward, one of the goals of the project is to add stories of Beaufort’s notables, such as Robert Smalls and Rachel Crane Mather. Since the tunnel committee hasn’t even begun the work on the
interior walls of the underpass, there’s a lot of work that needs to be conceived, approved and added to the project. The goal is to finish the first half of the exteriors and interior by the fall of 2018, with a completion date by the end of the following year. According to one of the project organizers, Diane Britton Dunham, artists who have worked on the mural and/or pledged to do so
include Brown, Cindy Male, Hank Herring, Amiri Ferris, Julia Anderson, Sharon Riley, Greg Rawls, and Dunham herself, among others. Students will also be painting a large portion of the project under the supervision of professional artists. Other local artists and students who are interested in joining this initiative can contact Dunham at Ddgriffin55@gmail.com.
Baxley leading Beaufort Memorial to new territory Less than two years into his tenure as president and CEO of Beaufort Memorial Hospital, Russell Baxley is making an impact in the community – and earning recognition in return. Last month, the 35-year-old hospital executive was honored with the 2018 Civitas Award for Outstanding Lowcountry Young Professional at the annual awards gala hosted by the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce. “The award recognizes a young professional who exemplifies strong professional capabilities, leadership qualities, service to the community, and a respected character,” said Chamber President and CEO Blakely Williams. “With all that Russell has accomplished since he joined the hospital in the fall of 2016, he was a natural choice for the award.” From the start, Baxley impressed Beaufort Memorial’s board of trustees with his grasp of today’s complex health care system, his vision for the future, and his integrity. The youngest of seven finalists considered for the top post, he took the helm well-prepared and ready to meet the challenges of running a 197-bed not-for-profit hospital with a $220 million operating budget and more than 1,500 employees and physicians. “Russell developed a very ambitious, highly-detailed strategic plan when he came to the hospital,” said board of trustees member Terry Murray, who chaired the board at the time. “He and his team are accomplishing everything we set out to do.” After assessing the needs of the growing population in Beaufort County, Baxley and his team set about improving and expanding access to health care services with several new initiatives. Among them is BMH Care Anywhere, an online 24hour, seven-day-a-week service offering virtual provider visits; extended hours for the hospital’s primary care practices; online self-scheduling service for emergency department visits; and expanded use of telemedicine. Last year, Baxley spearheaded a joint venture with MUSC Health and Alliance Oncology to relocate and expand the Keyserling Cancer Center to Beaufort Medical Plaza. And the hospital’s latest and most ambitious project is the creation of a micro hospital in Okatie Crossing. Once again, Beaufort Memorial has partnered with MUSC to build the acute care facility – the first of its kind South Carolina – adjacent to the hospital’s planned 70,000-square-foot medical campus at U.S. 278 and S.C. 170. A graduate of Clemson University with a B.S. in micro-
Baxley reviews plans for new medical campus.
biology, Baxley earned his master’s in health care administration from the University of South Carolina and spent the next six years in hospital positions that ranged from director of development to assistant chief financial officer to chief operating officer. Before joining BMH, he served as CEO of a 213-bed private hospital in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. He was 31 when he landed the job, making him the youngest CEO in a health system of 160 hospitals. Baxley attributes growing up on his family’s farm in Johnsonville, South Carolina, to helping him develop a strong work ethic and drive to achieve – both on and off the job. He’s raced in several half marathons and recently competed with a team of Beaufort Memorial colleagues in the Palmetto 200, an overnight relay covering 200 miles from the Columbia area to just outside of Charleston. And he remains a devoted Clemson fan, driving to the Upstate several weekends each fall with his wife, Stephanie, to watch his beloved Tigers tear up the turf in Death Valley. “Technically, I could pull for both Clemson and USC,”
he said. “But both my parents graduated from Clemson. I was born and raised under the orange and purple.” It wasn’t long after he arrived in Beaufort that his abilities were put to the test. He was just three weeks on the job when Hurricane Matthew took aim at the Carolina coast. “With the storm bearing down on us, we made the decision to shut down the hospital,” Baxley recalled. “We immediately started coordinating to move 70 patients to hospitals all over South Carolina.” As the hurricane passed offshore, Baxley was hunkered down in the hospital with an emergency crew of doctors, nurses, housekeepers, cooks and technicians, building camaraderie and earning the respect of his staff. While BMH escaped major damage from the storm, bigger troubles lay ahead. Like so many other community-owned hospitals, Beaufort Memorial was facing tough financial times, exacerbated by the costs – and losses – incurred because of the hurricane. Determined to remain independent, the board worked with Baxley and the management team to move the hospital to more solid financial ground and avoid having to sell out to a larger, for-profit hospital system. “Over the last year and a half, we were able to successfully improve the hospital’s finances, producing strong margins that have allowed us to re-invest in our facilities with a number of needed renovations and upgrades,” Baxley said. “And we did it the right way—looking at ways to cut costs through renegotiation of contracts with vendors and suppliers, for example—and were able to avoid strategies such as layoffs and service line closures, as so many other community hospitals look to do.” Despite the tight times, the hospital was able to start new service lines such as a direct-to-employer initiative called “Well at Work” and to advance its community outreach mission by creating a sickle cell anemia clinic. Through it all, the BMH team maintained – and even improved – patient outcomes, receiving awards that include four consecutive “A” scores from Hospital Safety Grades, Medicare 4-star ratings and several Joint Commission Gold Seal of Approval certifications. “Every one of us at Beaufort Memorial—from housekeepers to food servers to the nurses, doctors and technicians on our medical team—is committed to maintaining the highest quality of care for our patients,’ said Baxley. “If you’re a patient here, you’ll see and feel that commitment at work in everything we do.”

New catch limit for red drum to address overfishing Red drum, redfish, spottail, channel bass – South Carolina’s most popular saltwater gamefish goes by many names and plays a key role in the coastal economy and ecosystems. In recent years, state biologists have documented a declining trend in the state’s red drum population, which has been underscored by reports from longtime local anglers. These concerns prompted the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) to take a closer look at the species last year, culminating in an assessment that found South Carolina’s red drum population was experiencing overfishing. The South Carolina General Assembly responded by passing a new law intended to reverse overfishing, which Gov. Henry McMaster recently signed. The new catch limit allows two fish per person per day and no more than six fish per boat per day, effective July 1. The previous catch limit was three fish per person per day, with no boat limit. The slot limit (15-23 inches) remains unchanged. “We’ve been monitoring red drum populations across the state using the same techniques for nearly 30 years, and what we’ve seen over the last 10-15 years is concerning,” said assistant marine scientist Dr. Joey Ballenger, who oversees SCDNR’s red drum research. “Across the state, we’ve seen declines in abundance of the juvenile fish most commonly targeted by anglers.” Red drum are renowned for their beautiful copper color and characteristic black tail spots. Red drum reach several feet in length and can be found in all of South Carolina’s coastal waters at different stages of their lives. SCDNR research has shown that the fish reach maturity around four years of age, although adults may live to 40 years old. A healthy population of these adult red drum is critical to the success of the fishery, as the larger a fish is, the greater its contribution of spawn to the next generation of young fish. Adult red drum spawn in the fall, producing an annual “crop” of new fish. Recently, the crop has been relatively small. Young red drum (1-4 years old), which make up the foundation of fishing in South Carolina’s creeks and rivers, have not been plentiful over the last decade. Research at SCDNR shows that poor reproductive years are not necessarily unusual for these long-lived species –

Ballenger notes that large crops of red drum fish are only produced about twice a decade. However, Ballenger’s team has also discovered that not as many red drum are surviving from one year to the next as in previous generations. The reasons for this poor survival are unclear, but the impact has translated into fewer fish within the slot size limit, which is ultimately expected to mean fewer adult fish annually entering the spawning population. “Not only are we seeing declines in the annual crop of fish produced by adults, we are seeing that those produced are experiencing higher mortality rates,” Ballenger said. “Over time, this translates to fewer and fewer adult fish being around to produce the next crop, resulting in a feedback loop that continues the process.” At the same time these ecological fluctuations have occurred, fishing pressure has increased in South Carolina, especially on large adult fish. Adult red drum are already protected from harvest in South Carolina. Under current legislation, the fish are only legal to harvest when they fall between 15-23 inches in length – a size range that they reach for a little more than a year of their life. As a result, the red drum fishery in South Carolina is defined by catch and release – 80 percent of red drum caught by anglers are released. But even under ideal conditions,

Ospreys remain unbeaten in League 1
The American Legion Post 9 Beaufort Ospreys stayed undefeated in league play with a 4-3 comeback win over visiting Hampton on Monday, June 11.
Hampton took a 2-0 lead with a two-run homer in the second and added a run in the third before the Ospreys got the bats going. Drew Luckey’s two-run homer in the fourth cut into the deficit, and Ethan Graham doubled home Griffin Yeager in the fifth to tie it and scored the go-ahead run on Matt Cieplowski’s RBI groundout later in the inning. Michael Smyth earned the win in relief, pitching 5 1/3 innings and allowing one unearned run and seven hits with five strikeouts. On Thursday, June 7, the Ospreys won 8-4 at Walterboro. Yeager had a homer and two RBIs, and Tyler Hofmann drove in two runs. Smyth also earned the win in relief in that one, allowing one run over two innings with three strikeouts. The Ospreys (5-2, 3-0 League 1) were scheduled to host Charleston for another league contest on Tuesday, June 12, and travel to Walterboro at 7 p.m. on Thursday, June 14. Their next scheduled home game is against Charleston at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, June 19, at Beaufort High School.

studies estimate that 8-16 percent of caught-and-released fish die after release. Minimizing the death of released adult fish is critical to maintaining good fishing. The red drum from South Carolina to Florida are managed as a single population, and the status of regional management is currently unclear. This left SCDNR staff with questions about the status of the species in South Carolina, given the declines seen in catch rates of young fish. The agency therefore initiated an assessment of red drum just in South Carolina to better understand the health of this important species in local waters. The assessment determined that with a three fish per person per day bag limit, not enough red drum are surviving to sustain the population over the long-term. The study also found that a modest shift in regulations – from three to two fish per person per day – would be enough, in time, to improve the number of fish recruiting into the adult population. Companion bills codifying new catch limits (two fish per person per day and six fish per boat per day) were introduced in the S.C. Senate and House in early 2018 and received near-unanimous support on both sides of the Assembly. The Coastal Conservation Association of South Carolina played a key role in advocating the passage of the legislative changes. The new regulations will take effect on July 1, 2018. In addition to the legislative changes, SCDNR seeks to address increasing pressure on adult red drum by working with anglers to implement best handling practices. Valuable adult fish are highly susceptible to predators, disease, and exhaustion after release, making proper handling a matter of life or death. SCDNR urges anglers who target adult red drum to use the following best practices for release: • Use a rig that minimizes the chance of hook damage (short leader, fixed sinker weighing 3 oz. or more, and barbless, non-offset and non-stainless hook) • Use gear that shortens the fight time (20-pound and higher test line) • Keep the fish in the water (take photographs of the fish during revival and release)
Tennis tournament supports Soar and Special Olympics Supporting Special Olympics in Beaufort County has turned into a longstanding tradition for residents at Dataw Island. For 14 years, a handful of the island’s residents and local supporters have sponsored Northern Beaufort County Special Olympics Tennis. From June 22-24, Dataw Island and the Splash Tennis Tournament will once again partner with Soar Special Recreation — a nonprofit organization providing activities and recreation for special needs children and adults throughout the Lowcountry of South Carolina. Soar works to give a voice to special needs athletes. "This group of people doesn't have their own voice, and we want them to be treated like everyone else," said Kathy Cramer, Soar Program Director and a retired special education teacher who worked in the local school system for 33 years. "We need to help people understand who these people are so they can be included.” In support of Soar Special Recreation in 2015, Dataw Island turned the Dataw Splash, an annual USTA tennis tournament, into a fundraiser for Special Olympics and has raised $6,500 for Soar to date. This year, Dataw Island plans to do it again with
the 2018 Dataw Splash Tournament from June 22-24, as more than 100 tennis players from throughout the region converge upon Dataw’s eight courts to battle it out. The Dataw Splash is a USTA level 3 tournament, sanctioned by the Southern South Carolina region. It will be held at the Dataw Island Tennis Center overlooking the scenic marshes of Jenkins Creek. Anyone who is a USTA member in the U.S. is welcome to play in this tournament. “We love hosting this tournament,” said director of tennis Warren Florence. “The Splash is an event we enjoy putting together, as it draws fun competition from a tri-state area. Many of the players and spectators know that it supports a great cause, which makes all the effort worthwhile.” Florence went on to say that Dataw Island is grateful to all the volunteers, community support and sponsors, without whom the event would not be possible. If you would like to become a sponsor of the Dataw Splash please contact Dataw Island at 843-838-8416 or sign up online to register to play using USTA number 700070918. Players must register by Sunday, June 17.

What time is it? 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.
“What time is it?” is normally a very easy question. You look at your watch and the information is right in front of you. We eat, sleep, and play based on our clocks, unless traveling, and then it is a whole different story. We discovered this while heading out west recently. A good friend of mine just returned from a trip overseas and said it took a few days to get used to the change in time. This is understandable. But what if you are in America and traveling through time zones? This has a whole new take on “What time is it?,” because it begs other questions like: “What time is it at home?,” or “What time is it this minute?,” or “What is the time where we are going?” Our first evidence of a time zone change happened when our GPS indicated that the six-hour trip was going to take four hours. “What is wrong with that GPS?” my husband grumbled. Then we noticed our cell phones had a new time. It is at this point that we looked at each other and said, “Uh oh, time change.” The restaurant we were planning on stopping at was not going to be open. We had to adjust our thinking from that point. The lower 48 states have four standard times zones with most states switching to Daylight Saving Time, except for most
of Arizona, which stays on standard time. But we soon discovered the Navajo Nation, which we were driving through, stays on Mountain Daylight Time to correspond with the rest of the Navajo Nation in other states. Oh man! “What time is it?” became a challenge. Our circadian rhythms did not even have enough time to adjust. “It is only 6:30!” my spouse would say watching me get ready for bed. “I don’t care. My watch and my body say it’s 9:30.” Now for those of us traveling up and down the east coast, time zones are not a problem. We can drive up to Maine and all the way down to the Florida Keys and it is still the same time in Beaufort. McDonalds and Starbucks are still open at the same time as home. But our east coast traveling may be more challenging soon. Florida has requested Congress to approve keeping the Sunshine State on Daylight Saving Time all year long. As for our dog, Brandy, these time zone changes had no effect on her. It did not matter where we were, she insisted on Eastern Daylight Time and wanted to be fed accordingly. Fortunately, I stayed on her schedule because, truthfully, I never figured out how to reset my digital watch.

HOA bill revised by the Legislature, signed into Namaste y’all. law by the governor By Sen. Tom Davis
Last October, I published an opinion piece explaining why, as the 2017 legislative session in Columbia drew to a close, I blocked the so-called HOA bill that had been passed by the House. I now offer this update, outlining how that bill was amended in the 2018 session, thereby allowing it to be passed by the legislature and signed into law by the governor. The HOA bill in 2017 contained some solid reforms: For instance, it obligated a seller of property to give copies of association documents to a purchaser and expressly provided magistrate courts (where litigants often appear pro se) with jurisdiction to adjudicate civil disputes that pertain to associations. And if that is all it did, I would not have blocked it. But that version of the HOA bill also created a new state agency called the Office of the Homeowners Association Ombudsman and vested it with broad powers to supervise and regulate the affairs of homeowners and associations, including the power to employ and supervise staff necessary to assist in carrying out the powers and duties. I thought then, and still think now, that establishing a new state agency to regulate the private affairs of homeowners and associations was a bad idea – that creating a new system for the filing of complaints with an agency in Columbia, with the attendant requirement of homeowners and association officers traveling there to hash out their disputes, was in neither’s best interests. Equally bad, I thought, was the section that laid the groundwork for the new state agency’s expansion and established a predicate for government levies; it was conceded during the subcommittee process that homeowners would end up paying fees to fund the new bureaucracy (which would be in addition to, of course, the association dues and fees they’re already paying). At the start of the 2018 legislative session, I met with the HOA bill’s author, state Rep. Heather Crawford from Myrtle Beach, and with homeowners, realtors and property managers, to see if common ground could be reached. And over the course of several weeks we worked in good faith to resolve differences, with each committed to understanding the concerns of the others.
They understood that, for me, creating a new state agency and giving it regulatory authority over what I consider to be essentially private contractual relationships was a deal Sen. Tom Davis killer, and that the Office of the Homeowners Association Ombudsman had to be completely excised from the HOA bill. And so it was. For my part, I came to understand that the most important thing for Rep. Crawford was to insure that homeowners got actual notice of meetings where an association intended to consider fee increases. She pointed out that many homeowners associations are not incorporated under the South Carolina Nonprofit Corporation Act and, without the constraints imposed by that act, had a track record of running roughshod over homeowners. So we added language to the HOA bill to provide that, in cases where it is not governed by the state’s Nonprofit Act, “the homeowners association must provide notice to homeowners at least forty-eight hours in advance of the meeting in which a decision to raise the annual budget is made.” I also came to understand that homeowners are often not aware of their rights and obligations under restrictive covenants, and that for many the hiring of an attorney is a prohibitively expensive option. To address this, we added language that directed the state Department of Consumer Affairs to include on its website information on the governance of homeowners associations and other educational materials about associations, “including general information about the roles, rights, and responsibilities of the board, declarant, homeowners, and other parties.” Our finished work product ended up being something all sides were happy with, and Rep. Crawford and I offered it as a comprehensive amendment to the HOA bill. The bill as amended was then passed unanimously by both legislative chambers and signed into law by the governor. Now that’s the kind of outcome we need more of in Columbia. Tom Davis is a state senator representing Beaufort and Jasper counties. He can be emailed at tom@senatortomdavis.com.

Long summer days with lots of both sun and rain, humidity and heat, all sort of yearn for new refreshing wines. As we look around the world for these, the Mediterranean region turns out to be a great source. Not surprising, considering their weather can be much like ours. In the northwestern corner of Italy, there is the Piedmont region. It borders both France and Switzerland and sits at the foot of the Alps. Turin is its capital city, with an abundance of baroque architecture and upscale cuisine and wines. It’s located right in the middle of this region’s wine industry. Wines have been part of Piedmont history since the Greeks and the Romans after them. Being close to France has been a good influence on the Piedmont region’s wines. Vineyards in Piedmont are generally on the same latitude as those in Bordeaux, but the Piedmont climate is only similar to Bordeaux’s in the summer months. Winters are cooler and drier, and many vineyards are planted on hillsides to keep the grapes closer to the sun. Ninety percent of the region’s wine come from its southern areas. Italian wine laws have established 42 DOC Piedmont wine appellations, and 17 DOCG – the highest level of Italian wines. With 17, Piedmont has more DOCG wines than any other region and 85 percent of Piedmont wines produced are DOCG. Cortese di Gavi, or just Gavi, is a white DOCG from southeastern Piedmont. It was given DOCG status in 1998 and Cortese is the grape. This is a local variety with a history dating back to the 1659. (Wines made from Cortese grown in the commune of Gavi can be called Gavi di Gavi.) There are plantings of Cortese in other parts of Italy, Gavis are the best of the best. Cortese di Gavi are known for their crispness and lemon-lime scents. This variety has a very high acidity level, so their wines retain their freshness and crispness despite growing in a hotter region. It is considered to be Piedmont’s finest white variety. Years ago, before Pinot Grigio became so popular, Gavi wines were usually how wine drinkers learned about Italian white wine. In Piedmont, Gavi is the wine of choice for all their
seafood dishes. In the vineyards, Cortese yields must be controlled. If too many grapes are produced, their wines can become bland. This is a thin skinned variety, which helps to ensure the grapes develop enough Celia Strong ripeness before harvest, but thin skins also make them susceptible to rot – a tough balance for the growers. La Scolca, producer for our Gavi, is a family-owned estate in the commune of Gavi. They own almost 150 acres of vineyards, planted on steep slopes. The vineyard’s soils are calcereous clay and volcanic soils, with lots of iron and veins of chalky limestone. Much like the vineyards of Champagne and Chablis – two other wines known for the acidity, crispness, freshness and flintiness. La Scolca owns some of Piedmont’s oldest Cortese vines – 60 years old. The 2009 was their 90th vintage. The Soldati family, which owns La Scolca, is responsible for raising the quality of Cortese wines after World War II. Their “Black Label” is legendary – and expensive. La Scolca White Label Gavi is their everyday alternative. This wine comes from slightly younger vines – 20 to 30 years old. Each vine has only about five or six bunches of grapes. The grapes are hand harvested, but they’re brought into the winery within five to 10 minutes. Maceration and cold fermentation is done in stainless steel tanks with natural yeasts that help to maintain the Cortese’s subtle fruitiness, flinty acidity and structure. The wine rests on its lees, in the tanks, for four to five months. This helps to extract the aromatic richness and flavor complexities La Scolca is known for. The finished wine is straw yellow with hints of green. It has zesty lemon aromas with stone fruits and some almond. Not only is this a wonderful white wine for sipping on warm summer days, it is superb with all kinds of seafood and shellfish. And sushi. And fried foods. And mild cheeses. And salads. Please, give me a Gavi. For $17.99. Enjoy. Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island.
