COVERING BEAUFORT COUNT

City to help folks improve property

SEA TURTLES are a huge part of the Lowcountry experience

By Lisa Allen

Property upkeep varies along Duke and Washington streets in the Northwest Corridor of Beaufort. Some homes are pristine, others sit amid unkempt lawns with upkeep long overdue. To entice everyone to make an effort, whether it’s home repairs or fresh paint, the city will reimburse property owners for some of their city-related permit fees. Fees under $50 are being waived, those $51 and up are being cut in half and property owners renovating more than one property wil get a 75 percent refund. Permit fees run about $1,550 for a $250,000 home. So far, less than $500 has been reimbursed, said Deborah Johnson, a consultant to the city for the project. But there are 12 applications pending, including two for new homes. The renovation incentives are atop other tax breaks for rehabbing long-vacant or historical property, or creating student or low-income housing. “We’re trying to be the catalyst for improvements,” said Mike McFee, Beaufort City Council member and chairman of the infill subcommittee of the city’s Redevelopment Commission. “We’re piggybacking on the Village Renaissance Project where we spent millions to update the streetscape in the area. It’s a great time to help people get things done.” The effort had an unexpected lift when a group of volunteers made a project out of the subsidized housing at Duke and Church streets. Lowcountry Master Gardeners, Clemson Extension, Scout troops and the Beaufort Housing Authority landscaped the intersection, painted a mural and turned a parking lot into a pocket park. Nearly 100 people helped with the project. “It was a huge success. Every time we called the volunteers, they came,” McFee said. The city also worked with Beaufort-Jasper Water & Sewer Authority to waive some of the cost for new construction to lay lateral pipe from the main to the property line. The incentive program covers properties bounded by Duke, Washington, Ribaut and Carteret.

Tracking loggerhead sea turtles – reptilian behemoths that have been swimming the seas for millions of years – is like being a CSI investigator. You have to look at the small and large clues on the beach. Are there large, distinctive tracks that the mother-to-be leaves in the sand with her flippers as she makes her way onto the beach to deposit her eggs into a nest? Are there areas that stand out on the beach due to a large disturbance in the sand? Is there a big crescent shape in the sand? These are just a few of the things that the volunteers with the Fripp Island Turtle Team have to take into account in order to not only seek the nests out, but also to help protect them. Why is that so important? The loggerhead sea turtle is the world's largest hard-shelled turtle, topping off at an average of 440 pounds (the largest that has been found was 1,202 pounds). They also contribute in many ways to the coastal and marine ecosystems. One way is through unhatched nests, which are a good

sources of nutrients for the dune vegetation (even the leftover egg shells from hatched eggs provide some nutrients). As a result, dune vegetation is able to grow and become stronger. In turn, stronger vegetation and root systems help to hold the sand in the dunes and protect the beach from erosion. Most importantly, they are considered an endangered species and are protected by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, according to the Sea Turtle Conservancy. And many of these amazing creatures lay their eggs in nests on the beaches of South Carolina. Sea turtle nest numbers broke records across the Southeast in 2016, including in South Carolina, where a total of 6,444 loggerhead nests were laid – the highest number counted since the founding of SCDNR’s sea turtle program in the late 1970s. That’s still a long way from the federal Loggerhead Recovery Plan’s goal of 9,200 nests. Reaching that goal is difficult for various reasons. Untended fishing gear is responsible for many loggerhead deaths. Additionally, loss of nesting beaches and the intro-

• Loggerhead sea turtles are classified as threatened and are protected under the Endangered Species Act. Individuals that violate federal law by harming or interfering with sea turtles or their nests can be fined up to $25,000 and face up to a year in prison. • Loggerhead sea turtles were designated as the official South Carolina state reptile in 1988. • Sea turtles are revered in many cultures. Around the world there are numerous indigenous tales and legends that depict turtles as guardians or creators of life on Earth. In Hawaii, the turtle is a symbol of good luck and a Hindu

duction of exotic predators have also taken a toll on loggerhead populations. Janie Lackman, who has led the Fripp Island Turtle Team for 10 years and holds the SCDNR permit to do so, said that loggerheads also have numerous predators, especially early in their lives. Egg and nestling predators include seagulls, snakes, raccoons, and most particularly on Fripp Island, ghost crabs. Once the turtles hatch and make their way into the ocean, predators of the loggerhead babies include fish, such as parrotfish and moray eels. Adults are rarely attacked due to their large size, but may be preyed on by large sharks, seals and killer whales. Boats are also a

symbol depicts the world as resting on the back of a turtle. • Loggerhead hatchlings born on the beaches of South Carolina, North Carolina, Florida and Georgia spend the first years of their lives off the west coast of Africa. • It takes loggerheads 25 to 30 years to mature and reproduce. You cannot age a turtle and no one knows exactly how long they live. • About 100 species of animals and plants have been recorded living on one single loggerhead, making them an entire mobile, living, breathing ecosystem.

threat. In Sanibel, Fla., five loggerheads were killed in as many days by boaters. One of the biggest issues is that very few of the hatchlings make it to the ocean, and that is sometimes due to humans.

Suspect charged with drug, gun possession

Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office deputies recently responded to the Walmart parking lot on Hilton Head Island to a report of an unresponsive adult male inside of a vehicle. Hilton Head Island Fire Rescue personnel were on the scene treating the subject when deputies arrived. Fire personnel told deputies that a small amount of white powder fell from the subject’s shirt when they moved him from the vehicle to the ground. They also said they saw a rifle inside of the vehicle and found a bottle of gun oil in the front pocket of the subject's pants. While the subject, identified as 18-year-old Jose Osorio Jr., of Hardeeville, was being transported to the Hilton Head Island Regional Medical Center for further treatment, deputies searched the vehicle. According to a sheriff ’s office report, deputies found a Norinco MAK-90 (similar to an AK-47 assault rifle) with a fully loaded magazine. Also inside the vehicle, deputies found a .45 caliber semi-automatic pistol, a ski mask and a Crown Royal bag, which contained narcotics paraphernalia and three Jose Osorio Jr plastic bags. One of the plastic bags allegedly contained crack cocaine, the other contained powder cocaine and the third contained a number of unidentified pills, the report states. A check through the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) revealed the .45 caliber pistol had been reported stolen in the city of Beaufort. A short time later, Osorio Jr. recovered and was arrested by deputies upon being discharged from the hospital. Osorio Jr. was charged with possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine, possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine within half a mile of a school, possession with intent

to distribute cocaine and possession of a stolen firearm. Osorio is being held at the Beaufort County Detention Center. His bond was set at $25,000 for each of the four charges and he was served with an outstanding magistrate bench warrant. He may face additional charges pending analysis and identification of the pills at the Sheriff ’s Office Forensic Services Laboratory.

Man dies in Seabrook wreck

The Burton Fire District responded to a single-vehicle accident in Seabrook on June 6 that resulted in a fatality.

Fire crews assisted the male driver ,who was not wearing a seatbelt; however, the driver did not survive. The Burton Fire District has responded to over 145 motor vehicle accidents in 2017. This was the sixth motor vehicle accident for Burton since Friday.

Man gets 55 years for 2014 murder

An Allendale County teenager convicted last summer of beating and suffocating an elderly man in 2014 has been sentenced to 55 years in prison. Robert Lee Miller III, 18, was convicted of murdering 86-year-old Willie Johnson after a four-day trial. The killing took place June 19, 2014, at Johnson’s Pickrum Street home. Miller was 15 at the time of the murder but was tried as an adult. Miller is not eligible for parole and must serve the Robert Lee entire sentence. Miller III Circuit Court Judge Rivers Lawton McIntosh, who presided over the July trial, delivered the sentence. Fourteenth Circuit Deputy Solicitor Sean Thornton prosecuted the case, and Assistant Solicitor Brian Hollen handled the sentencing phase. “The very brutal nature of the crime deserved a severe penalty,” Hollen said. Johnson’s friends and relatives were unable to reach him by telephone for several days, and law enforcement officers went to his home to conduct a welfare check. They found Johnson dead inside his residence, his hands tied behind his back and a black trash bag cinched over his head. The victim's teeth and dentures were scattered in pieces around his body, and the home had been ransacked. Several hundred dollars and an air rifle were stolen during the murder. Johnson was a lifelong resident of Allendale, an elder in his church and a retired merchant marine. Two other Allendale residents have been charged in connection with the incident. Gabriel Joyner, 19, was convicted of first-degree burglary in January and awaits sentencing. The third defendant, 19-year-old Kashawn Bynum, is scheduled to stand trial in July.

Retirement accounts take good planning The popularity and accessibility of retirement plans has resulted in Americans holding a significant portion of their assets in 401(k)s or other employer-sponsored retirement plans and IRAs. For many, these accounts represent the largest portion of their wealth outside of their homes. If you’re like the majority of individuals you will likely need income from these accounts during retirement, or you may have accumulated sufficient other assets to sustain your lifestyle and wish to preserve your retirement assets for your heirs. An important first step in preserving these assets is to understand the rules regarding retirement plans and IRA beneficiaries to ensure your wishes are fulfilled. The rules affect who inherits the assets, how quickly they are paid out and the tax consequences. While you should consult with your tax and legal advisor for advice regarding your specific circumstances, the following provides an overview to help you get started. First, inventory all of your retirement accounts and make sure the beneficiary information is up to date. It’s also a good practice to designate both primary and contingent beneficiaries. A contingent beneficiary will

inherit assets only if you have no surviving primary beneficiaries at the time of your death or if they disclaim or refuse the inheritance. Additionally, you can name more than one primary or contingent beneficiary and specify which percentage of the account they should receive. It’s also a good practice to review your beneficiary designations periodically. Situations affecting designations include death of a beneficiary, divorce, marriage or the birth of a child or grandchild. Remember, a will does not supersede your beneficiary designations on retirement accounts. Common beneficiary designation options include naming your spouse, a non-spouse, or an entity such as your trust, estate or a charity. Whenever possible, you may want to avoid naming an estate as your beneficiary as this requires your assets to enter the probate process. For married couples naming a spouse may be the natural choice, but there are other reasons why this makes sense. When an IRA passes directly to a spouse, it avoids probate and qualifies for the unlimited marital deduction. Additionally, your spouse has the option to move the assets into an inherited IRA or roll the assets into an IRA in

his or her own name. Which option is better depends on the ages of the deceased and surviving spouse and when the surviving spouse may need to take money from the IRA. This ability to roll the assets into his or her IRA is available only for spouse beneficiaries. Both spouses and non-spouses can move the assets into an Inherited IRA. While it is typical practice for most IRA owners to name a spouse as the primary IRA beneficiary and their children as the contingent beneficiaries, this may require the surviving spouse to take more taxable income from the IRA than he or she really needs. If income needs are not an issue for the spouse and children, then naming younger beneficiaries (such as grandchildren or great-grandchildren) allows you to stretch the value of the IRA out over one or perhaps two generations. A stretch IRA is not a specific type of IRA, it is simply a wealth transfer method that attempts to maximize the tax-advantaged potential of IRA assets by leaving them in the IRA for as long as the law permits. Stretching an IRA simply refers to the ability to take required minimum distributions (RMDs) over the beneficiary’s single life expectancy (term-certain). Another important point is to understand

the difference between the “standard” and “per stirpes” beneficiary designation. Most IRA contracts have a standard designation where your beneficiary must be alive upon your death to inherit his or her share. Some IRA contracts offer a per stirpes designation in the event a beneficiary predeceases you or refuses the inheritance, then his or her share would pass to their descendants, usually their children. For example, you have designated that your two children are to equally share your IRA assets. If one of your children dies before you do and you have not updated your beneficiary form, without the per stirpes designation, your surviving child would receive 100 percent of the assets. While this information offers you education and guidance to get started, you should keep in mind how your retirement accounts fit into your overall retirement income and estate plan. We recommend that you meet with your financial and tax advisor to receive personalized recommendations and create a plan for distributing your retirement assets that suits you and your legacy.

Allstate agent awards two $1,000 grants

To recognize personal community involvement, the Allstate Foundation supports the causes that Allstate agents care about most by providing helping hands in the community and grants to nonprofits where they volunteer their time to bring out the good in their communities. The grants are in the amount of $500 and $1,000.

VOICES

The no bar zone is a no man’s land It is amazing how accustomed we have all become to today’s technology. This was the revelation I experienced when I found myself without phone and Internet connection for two days. We were traveling along in a boat when I picked up my phone and there in the upper left-hand corner was the message: “No service.” How could I not have service? Don’t all those ads on television say things like: “We have the best coverage throughout the United States,” and “Never have a call dropped.” Not only did I not have service, I could not even make a call to get dropped. Oh, heaven help me. I was in “no bars zone,” the 21st century version of the“Twilight Zone.” As it turned out, we were in a very rural area and my spouse informed me that where there are no people, there are no cell towers and thus – no bars.

Now what?

HIGHLIGHTING DAILY LIFE OBSERVATIONS

As we sat there contemplating life without Internet and phones, we decided we would just talk to one another (what a concept). “So,” asked my spouse, “what would you be looking up if we had any bars?” I laughed and responded, “I would look up: ‘What do married people talk about when there are no bars?’ ” After two days, our phones suddenly lit up. There were texts and e-mails. It was wonderful! We were connected to civilization again. The experience made me realize how much I love, and enjoy, all these electronic devices. But, as it turns out, the “no bar zone” can be a comfortable place to reside at times and having an uninterrupted conversation occasionally is not so difficult after all. Especially now that I have looked up “The art of conversation” on the Internet.

Now Offering All-Inclusive Rates 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.

I wrote an e-mail to family and friends. “I am in “no bar zone. If you get this message it is only because I could receive one lonely stray bar for a moment which allowed this message to be transmitted.” It really is astonishing how spoiled we are with our communication abilities. We call ahead and make reservations for motels and restaurants. We chat with people who are hundreds of miles away, as if

they are next door. We can video conference, send pictures and links, and generally obtain any information. But not in “no bar zone.” In this vast wasteland, you must relearn new skills, like talking to the person next to you, or reading a book or enjoying the scenery. You do not have the luxury of looking up the history of a country, finding out the current weather conditions or even downloading music.

Is the Lady's Island Business and Professional Assocation out of date? By Mark Weeks

Over its 35 years of existence the Lady’s Island Business and Professional Association has evolved in the manner and methods by which it serves the Lady’s Island community. The organization has come a long way from the days when Pat Harvey Palmer, a founding member of LIBPA, led the drive to raise money to purchase street signs followed by leading a “self-help” program to install them on Lady’s Island roads. Over the years the organization has, from time to time, had to almost reinvent itself to be able to cope with the latest challenges. This year may be another one of those times as the city of Beaufort expands its boundaries and influence on Lady’s Island, national-level companies establish an increased presence on the island and population growth returns with enthusiasm. If the answer is that as a result of these changing factors LIBPA can better represent the island with a bit of reorganization, the next question is what changes should

Now Offering All-Inclusive Rates

be considered and what should remain the same? Before we begin considering potential changes to LIBPA, perhaps we should identify some things that have stood the test of time and should be continued as general “rules of the road” in the way LIBPA does business. Following are a few of such general policies: • LIBPA is not political in the sense that it does not endorse or oppose any individual political candidate. It is political in the sense that it will publicly take positions on subjects, such as roads and schools, which affect the Lady’s Island community. • LIBPA will strive to maintain good communication and relations with the elected officials and public servants who must make key decisions regarding Lady’s Island. • LIBPA will play nice with others. If anything was learned from the “annexation wars” it was that communication, cooperation and courtesy produces much better results than anger, animosity and lawsuits. In that same respect it is much easier to work with

professional friends even when you don’t always agree. • LIBPA is not a fundraiser and will attempt to keep its membership dues at a level that allows it to fund programs which significantly benefit the community. • LIBPA fully understands and appreciates that building and maintaining a great community is a team effort involving political, environmental, financial, business and educational interest. • LIBPA will be actively involved in the support of both the private and public schools on the island. In keeping with our search to find ways to better serve the community LIBPA board member Paul Butare is working with Kelly Chelten of Lowcountry Spotlight to find ways to better use social media and especially our Facebook page. All suggestions or recommendations from our members as to how we can improve are most welcome and encouraged. Mark Weeks is president of the Lady’s Island Business and Professional Association.

FROM THE FRONT

WE’RE PROUD THAT OUR MAKE A DIFFERENCE EVERY DAY.

Pictured are a few of the 20 volunteers with the Fripp Island Turtle Team who patrol the beaches throughout nesting season.

Beaufort Memorial is pleased to announce that Ashley Hildreth has been named the South Carolina Emergency Nurses Association’s

2017 NURSE LEADER OF THE YEAR. Ashley was recently recognized by the association for “advocating for patient safety and demonstrating exemplary practice in the field of nursing,” through her work as Assistant Director of the hospital’s Pratt Emergency Center. Ashley Hildreth

A nest can contain up to 120 loggerhead sea turtle eggs.

with her hind flippers in the dry sand above the high tide line. And while numbers vary, a mother lays about 120 ping-pong sized eggs about four to six times each season, which is from May 1 to Oct. 31 in South Carolina. Sounds like a lot of turtles. But here’s the rub: Only about one in 1,000 make it into the sea and one in 10,000 reaches maturity. And this year may be more dicey than usual. “Many of our beaches experienced heavy erosion last fall during Hurricane Matthew, reducing the amount of ideal sea turtle nesting habitat,” said Michelle Pate, SCDNR biologist and sea turtle program coordinator. “As a result of that we may see more nest relocations this season, as trained staff and volunteers move eggs to safer ground, but overall we’re hopeful for another year of high nest numbers.” That’s why groups like Lackman’s are so imperative to protecting the turtles. This year on Fripp Island there are 31 sea turtle nests (as of the end of May). As you walk the beach you may notice areas squared off with poles and orange tape warning beach-goers to stay away from the nests. At the direction of the SCDNR, all of the nests on Fripp above the "king high tide line" must be left where they were laid. All other nests are relocated to higher ground further back from the ocean. Each morning on Fripp Island, volunteers are divided into two groups of about four people each (there are a total of about 20 volunteers who rotate patrol days). One group heads to the south and the other heads north. “We’re looking for signs of nesting, like large areas of disturbance,” said Lackman. “We look for incoming and outgoing tracks into and out of the ocean. Where did she go? How long was she there? Is there uprooted vegetation? Is there a large crescent in the sand (also a sign of a nest)?” Then they check on the eggs. “We use a probe stick to find the chamber, which is about 8-10 inches across and is shaped like an upside-down light bulb. We use it very carefully to find a soft spot, then we use our hands and dig down to confirm whether we will need to relocate the nest if it’s not in a viable location above the tide line.” If necessary, they move the eggs to a better location by digging a relocation chamber. “First we dig the new nest, then we have to get them out of the old nest, but we cannot rotate them,” said Lackman. “They have to be lifted straight up and straight down. If you rotate it, it’s scrambling the egg. We then put them into a sand-lined bucket and count them coming out of the old nest and count them again when they are placed in the new nest.” The incubation period is around 80 days, and predators are constantly looking for

DOS AND DON’TS • Keep the lights out on beachfront property during nesting season. • Refrain from using flash photography on the beach at night. • Keep our beaches and ocean clean. Trash such as plastic bags and balloons can cause injury or death when sea turtles mistake them for jellyfish, a favorite food. • Respect sea turtles by observing them from a distance on the beach. • Report dead or injured sea turtles and nest disturbances to SCDNR at 800-922-5431. • Report sightings of live, healthy turtles to the SCDNR. • Level your sand castles and fill your holes on the beach. They’re death traps for the turtles. • If you see a turtle tracks that have not been cleared, don’t walk in those tracks. Sources: seaturtle.org; Janie Lackman, Fripp Island Turtle Team

them. Then the hard part begins. The eggs hatch and the hatchlings have to dig through the sand to the surface, usually at night to escape predators and when the sand isn’t as hot as it is in the daytime. This is also when humans most often get in the way. The hatchlings enter the ocean by navigating toward the brighter horizon created by the reflection of the moon and stars off the water's surface. When there are other types of light on the beach at night the hatchlings get confused and will head away toward that light instead of heading toward the ocean. “The issue we have with lights come from people,” said Lackman. “Lights out – and that includes flashlights and other lights from cell phones – is also very important to mom because they can deter her from coming onto the beach and laying her eggs.” Helping to keep these creatures alive is rewarding and challenging, but it’s something Lackman loves. “My parents purchased a home on Fripp about 25 years ago,” she said. “I saw a hatchling and I was hooked. “They just amaze me. They’re like little tanks. You see these 2-inch hatchlings that are so driven, and everything eats them! Birds, dolphins. They have such a slim chance that I just want to help them and help make sure future generations see them. “We have two young girls walking with us this year and just seeing their excitement, well, that’s what I love. We try to get kids involved by teaching and educating them. But we need everyone, from the people who live here to the visitors who come here, to support our efforts in keeping these amazing creatures alive.” The 10th annual Fripp Island Turtle Team's fundraiser, the 5K Turtle Crawl on Fripp Island, will be held on July 14. Participants can sign up on the group’s Facebook page. JUNE 15 - 21, 2017

BEAUFORT’S MR. BASEBALL HONORED FOR LEGACY, SERVICE

Editor’s note: The following is a speech written by American Legion Post #9 Commander Chuck Lurey to honor George Miller on George Miller Day at the American Legion Ospreys alumni game about his contributions to the community and his love for his family. We wish all dads out there a very Happy Father's Day.

By Chuck Lurey

The Readers Digest. Have any of you read the magazine? This is going way back, but do any of you remember the article they had in each issue on “The Most Unforgettable Character I Ever Met.” Each character struck home in the life of the writer. These characters enriched lives through humor, wisdom, adventure and affection, each possessing a unique regard for humanity, each a gem reflecting its own light. George Miller is the most unforgettable character I ever met and I am going to tell you why by covering his biography, his traits of character and action and what he has done for our American Legion Post. George served in the Marine Corps for close to 25 years. He joined in 1956 and served at Camp Pendleton, Camp Lejeune, Indianapolis, Parris Island, Okinawa, The Philippines, Korea and Vietnam. He won numerous awards, including the Purple Heart for combat wounds. He left active service in 1979. Not wanting to be too far from the Marines, he continued to be of service to the country in the Civil Service at Parris Island for another 22 years, retiring in 2001. George’s service to Beaufort County and South Carolina is truly exceptional. His civic work is wide-ranging and includes volunteering and working with Wounded Warriors, Veteran’s Homes, AMVETS, the American Legion, VFW, Disabled American Veterans, the Purple Heart Association, his church, and, of course, American Legion Baseball. George is active in all of these and more He has a wonderful biography, but here is why George is my pick for a most unforgettable character: Have you ever met a person who has never said a bad thing about someone else? Have you ever met a person whom you have never heard anyone speak ill of anyone? Have you met someone who is more respected by young and old than George? Have you met someone who never, ever says no when asked for a favor or help? How about someone who is always first

to get on the job, works the hardest and is last to leave? I have never seen the man react negatively and never seen him complain. Never. How many people do you know who can round up a large group of volunteers at the spur of the moment? The frequent answer is, “If George Miller is asking, count me in.” Do you know someone more loyal to his friends, family, church, than George? Carol and George have been married for over 50 years and she has worked with him on all of his projects and organizations while still doing her own thing. But if you really want to get George talking, ask him about his children and grandchildren. He is proud of and loves his children, Danny and Wendy, and the younger ones Delaney, Christopher and Chandler, and of course his daughter-in-law, Lisa. I asked a Wendy about her father and she talked for a half an hour about what a wonderful father and person he is.

George has also been active in the same church for 40 years. He is on their board now, and his faith is personal but undeniable. George is the most humble, gentle, truly nice person whom I have ever known, and that is why he is an unforgettable character. In my view he is all that we should strive to be. As far as baseball and Post 9, he has touched so many lives in Beaufort. He is Mr. Baseball to many. He has played baseball and softball all his life in the Marines and in Beaufort County. In 1997, Dean Morrsey and Robert Neblung asked George to get involved with Legion Ball and he is still doing the job. Since then countless of young men have benefited from his baseball skills, leadership and example. Many have gone on to play at a higher level, many of them went on to be high achievers and all are better men for it. Anywhere you go in Beaufort County, men he has coached and their families will greet George with a hug or a good handshake.

George truly has a legacy. I have been in Legion Post 9 for about five years. When I first came I saw one of the oldest and best posts in the state relying on one guy. George carried the Post. In some cases he still does. I do not want to diminish the efforts of others, but George ran Legion Baseball. George ran the golf tournament. George solicited and collected all donations. He was, and is, the liaison between Post 9 and all the other service organizations. George ran the trips and donations to the Victory House in Walterboro for Post 9 and all the other VSOs. George visited the sick and attended funerals. He still does so, but with a bit more help. It is only in recent years that Post 9 we have been able to attract more active members and we now have a multitude of programs, activities and contributions in support of veterans and Beaufort. Post 9 will always owe George a tremendous debt for his service to baseball, Post 9 and the community.

He loves his children ... I asked Wendy about him and she talked for half an hour about what a wonderful father he is. MENU FOR JUNE 19th-24th: Chicken Piccata Roasted Pork Loin with Fresh Peach Sauce Mahi Fish Tacos Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps Bacon Tomato Pie Fresh Gazpacho Kitchen Casseroles

SCHOOLS & SPORTS SCHOOL BRIEFS BA hires new director of music program

Vic Varner has been named the director of the new Vocal Music and Guitar program at Beaufort Academy. He is creating the new vocal music program for the school for the upcoming 2017-2018 school year. He will be working with Lower, Middle and Upper school students. Varner grew up in the Park Circle area of North Charleston. His undergraduate degree is in music education from Charleston Southern University and his Master’s of Music Education is from Winthrop University. He achieved Kodály Certification from studies at Capital University in Columbus, Ohio, and studied jazz arranging under artist Phil Mattson at Southwest College in Creston, Iowa. Varner developed a “solfege” approach for teaching sight reading that has been adopted by numerous music educators in South Carolina. He retired from 30 years of high school music education in 2011. His school choirs have performed at Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center and have been nationally ranked in competitions from Orlando to Toronto. Since “retirement,” Varner has been teaching music courses at USCB and continuing his 40plus years in church music as director of music at First Presbyterian Church of Beaufort. A singer/guitarist, Varner also works as a performer and recording artist at venues throughout the Southeast. He has been featured at Hilton Head’s Jazz Corner, Palmetto Bluff ’s “Music to Your Mouth” jazz series and Charleston’s Piccolo Spoleto Festival. Varner is returning to high school teaching because he misses creating order out of chaos and developing young people into musicians. “The biggest thrill for me is to see the light bulb click over a student’s head the moment he or she understands musical intervals. Simply put … I am a music educator and I love it.” Varner has plans to develop a first-class choral program where students are developing individual musicianship with a strong ensem-

ble approach. The school is looking forward to seeing its students perform in major concerts and other community performances. In time, the guitar students will hopefully emerge as an accompaniJose Osorio Jr ment for the singers, but will also be featured as a separate ensemble. Enrollment at Beaufort Academy is still open.

Summer reading camps provide student support

The South Carolina Department of Education and school districts across the state are gearing up to provide additional support and time on task for struggling third-grade readers through Read to Succeed Summer Reading Camps. Reading camps serve students with severe reading difficulties by providing them with the necessary skills to become successful lifelong readers. During the summer reading camps, stu-

dents are taught by highly qualified teachers who have experience working with students with severe reading difficulties to improve their reading, writing and critical thinking skills. Students will have the opportunity to receive small group and individual instruction to meet their specific reading needs. “Our students deserve every opportunity to strengthen their reading skills to ensure a successful future,” said State Superintendent of Education Molly Spearman. “We encourage all families of third-grade students having severe reading difficulties to contact your district to find out more about the literacy supports that will be provided at summer reading camps.” A person’s ability to read is a critical predictor of educational and lifelong success. A strong reading program, like Read to Succeed, beginning in kindergarten and continuing into the third grade and beyond, gives students the best possible chance to maximize their education and lifelong success. Beginning in fourth grade, a student must be prepared to comprehend facts in social studies and science, understand word problems in math, and interpret complex materials in language arts. Results from South Carolina’s statewide assessment, SC READY, show that only 44 percent of third graders met or exceeded standards in English language arts, which includes reading, in 2016. Like other states, South Carolina recognized the need to combat alarming statistical trends that are associated with the inability to read by the end of third grade, including increased drop-out rates and fewer employment opportunities. The Read to Succeed Act is a strong initiative that focuses on mastery of reading skills before students advance to fourth grade. The Act requires each district to develop a comprehensive annual reading proficiency plan for Pre-K to 12th-grade students, establishes student reading intervention programs as early as kindergarten and mandates all initially licensed K-12 teachers to complete additional training to receive a Read to Succeed endorsement. Beginning in the 2017-18 school year,

third-grade students who are not reading on grade level may be retained. Retention can provide students with severe reading difficulties the additional time they need to gain the necessary reading skills to be successful in fourth grade and beyond.

Before college, Taylor helped lead Beaufort High School to the Class AAAA state championship game his senior year. He recorded 110 tackles with 10 quarterback sacks and 19 tackles for a loss during his senior campaign. Taylor was recognized with first-team all-state selections from the Associated Press and The State. He recorded 80 tackles and four sacks as a junior. An outstanding athlete, Taylor also lettered in basketball and track and field. As a senior, he won the Class 4A state title in the triple jump with a leap of 48 feet, 3 inches.

Week 2 versus San Francisco. After Williams suffered a foot injury that kept him out of the postseason, backup running backs Jordan Todman and Fitzgerald Toussaint contributed in the postseason, combining for 230 scrimmage yards in two games. Saxon coached Bell to a breakout season in just his second year in the league in 2014. Bell was named Steelers’ MVP, and he set numerous single-season records, including yards from scrimmage (2,215), first downs (114), receptions by a running back (83) and receiving yards by a running back (854). He became the first player since Walter Payton (1976) to total at least 200 yards from scrimmage in three straight games. Bell rushed for an AFC-best 1,361 yards in 2014, the fifth-highest total in a single season in team history. He also became just the second player in NFL history to record at least 1,350 rushing yards and 850 receiving yards in a single season (Marshall Faulk, 1999). In games 11-14, Bell totaled 830 yards from scrimmage, which tied him for the fourthmost in a four-game span in NFL history. In 2012, Saxon helped guide Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson to the second-best single-season rushing performance in NFL history with 2,097 yards and a first-team All-Pro selection. That year, Peterson became only the third player in Minnesota history to be named NFL MVP and was also named the NFL Offensive Player of the Year. Peterson set or tied numerous team and league records in 2012, including the most rushing yards in the month of December (861) in NFL history. Saxon attended Battery Creek High School. He is married to Shannon and their son, Devin, played football at Harvard.

Saxon headed into fourth season with Steelers

Beaufort native James Saxon is headed into his fourth season as the running backs coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers, after being hired on Jan. 28, 2014. The Beaufort native broke into the NFL as a player in 1988. In his 17 years as an NFL running backs coach, Saxon has helped his backs reach the Pro Bowl 12 times. He has had a running back surpass the 1,000-yard rushing mark in a single season nine times. After returning from an injury, Pittsburgh running back Le'Veon Bell rushed 261 times for 1,268 yards and seven touchdowns. In 2015, Bell was lost for the season due to a knee injury he sustained in Week 8. Veteran running back DeAngelo Williams contributed in a big way, as he totaled 1,274 scrimmage yards and tied for the league lead with 11 rushing touchdowns. He was the only AFC player to register at least 1,000 scrimmage yards and at least 10 rushing touchdowns. Williams tied the single-game franchise record by rushing for three touchdowns in

Auditions to be held for USCB production on Conroy The USCB Center for the Arts and the Beaufort Theatre Company will hold auditions for “CONRACK,” a musical based on Pat Conroy’s famous semi-autobiographical novel, “The Water is Wide.” Auditions will be held from 6-7:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 20, and Wednesday, June 21, in the CFA auditorium. “CONRACK” begins with the superintendent of schools in 1960s Beaufort, who is desperate for anyone to teach school on Yamacraw

Island. The school there has been totally neglected by the school system: no books, no blackboard, no attention being paid to the students. In fact, one has to take a boat from the mainland to even reach the island. Into this hornet's nest walks Conroy, almost 30, idealistic the way only a ‘60s hippie could be, and recently fired from his 20th job in five years. He is only too happy to answer the ad for a teacher, especially since Dr. Piedmont informs him that

"no experience is exactly what I'm lookin' for." When Conroy meets the children, Cindy Lou, Mary, Prophet, Anna, Top Cat and Richard, he discovers that they can scarcely read or write, they know little math and they are wildly undisciplined. But their anger barely conceals their desperate need for a teacher who will actually care. Conroy is determined to be that teacher for them. The “CONCRACK” production team will include Granville Burgess, director; Bonnie Hargrove, produc-
