COVERING BEAUFORT COUNTY

$28M needed to make traffic fixes

Vets bring home

one of their own

By Lisa Allen

The Lady’s Island traffic study will take another step forward when it’s presented to the Beaufort-Port Royal Metropolitan Planning Commission next month, but a huge question remains. How will the improvements be funded?

The 40-page study was written

by Canadian-based Stantec Consulting with input from two public hearings, the city of Beaufort, Ward Edwards Engineering, Beaufort County and the South Carolina Department of Transportation.

“The Lady’s Island Corridor Study originated with the goals of improving congestion and reducing delays, improving safety, enhancing bicycle and pedestrian accommodations and enhancing aesthetics,” the report said.

It recommends nine projects that can help divert traffic from the over-burdened intersection of Sea Island Parkway and Sams Point/ Lady’s Island Drive.

A September 2016 count showed that Lady’s Island Drive dumps 26,000 cars into the intersection each day, up 26 percent from a 2015 count.

Sea Island Parkway pushed 21,660 cars through in 2016, up 11 percent from 2015.

The 2016 numbers were collected before the Walmart at Airport Junction opened in May and before residents move into the 113 homes being built in Oyster Bluff on Sams Point.

Between 2011 and 2015, there were 541 vehicle crashes in the study area with two fatalities and 180 injuries. Nearly half, 246, were rearend crashes.

Engineers predict nearly 21 percent more traffic coming from Lady’s Island Drive over the next two years and 16 percent from Sea Island Parkway, taking into account Walmart, Taco Bell, Harris Teeter (which, according to City Manager

Beaufort showed its true compassion and patriotism when more than 160 people showed up on June 15 at the Beaufort National Cemetery to honor and pay their final respects to man they didn’t even know.

Raymond Thompson, 72, a Vietnam-era veteran, served in the U.S. Navy and achieved the rank of E-3 before being discharged.

Very little is known about his life. He died in May in the Charleston area with no family to claim his remains.

Rivers Suburban Funeral Home in Goose Creek held his body for 30 days while they tried to find his next of kin, but none could be tracked down, according to Ron Voegelli of the Disabled American Veterans.

“He died alone. But he wasn’t going to buried alone” Voegeli said.

The DAV has been burying indigent veterans for about 30 years through their Forget Me Not program, he said.

Caskets are donated to the veteran and

the DAV takes care of the rest.

James Johnston, of the Disabled American Veterans, said because Thompson was indigent and had no family, his flag will be used in the “Avenue of Flags” at the cemetery.

At the funeral for Thompson, many veterans groups were represented, but there was an impressive turnout of veterans and civilians alike who just wantSee VETERAN page A5

PUBLIC SAFETY Two accidents occur within two hours

In reality, this advertisement entices citizens to enter a credit card number for a monthly subscription in order to learn about purchasing tobacco revenue bonds.

Questions concerning the tobacco Master Settlement Agreement may be directed to the Attorney General’s Office at 803-734-3970 or by email to sctobacco@scag.gov.

2-vehicle accident results in injuries A morning wreck on June 15 on the Broad River Bridge injured one person and caused traffic delays.

Burton fire crews arrived at the scene to find a passenger vehicle that had collided with a tractor towing a commercial mower.

The female driver was treated by Burton firefighters and transported to Beaufort Memorial Hospital with unknown injuries. Traffic on the Broad River Bridge was delayed for approximately one hour while emergency crews assisted the injured driver and helped control a hydraulic leak resulting from the wreck.

The Burton Fire District then responded to a second motor vehicle accident on June 15 in less than two hours.

The Burton Fire District responded to a motor vehicle accident on Trask Parkway at the intersection of Poppy Hill Road just after 10 a.m.

Firefighters arrived to a two-vehicle accident between a passenger vehicle and a pickup truck with the pickup truck coming to rest on the side of the roadway.

Firefighters assisted two occupants who suffered what appeared to be non-life threatening injuries. Both were transported to Beaufort Memorial Hospital. Traffic on Trask Parkway was delayed for over an hour while emergency crews assisted the injured and removed roadway hazards.

Consumers should beware of tobacco settlement

Attorney General Alan Wilson alerted the public to an online promotion that misleads consumers to believe they can receive tobacco settlement money.

The online promotion claims individuals can sign up to claim thousands of dollars per month from the tobacco Master Settlement Agreement.

The advertisement promises that individuals may receive a tax-free portion of the tobacco Master Settlement Agreement and that this money is guaranteed by the government.

JUNE 22 - 28, 2017

A two-vehicle accident in Port Royal late in the afternoon of June 14 resulted in injuries to one occupant and traffic delays.

The Burton Fire District responded to a report of a motor vehicle accident on Robert Smalls Parkway just past 5 p.m. by the Furniture Warehouse Design Gallery in Port Royal. Firefighters arrived to find two passenger vehicles with moderate damage and one vehicle off the road in the ditch.

One occupant was treated for minor injuries and transported to Beaufort Memorial Hospital.

Two lanes of Robert Smalls Parkway were blocked for approximately 20 minutes while emergency crews assisted the injured and removed roadway hazards.

Teen drowns off Fripp Island

A 16-year-old boy from Ohio drowned in the waters off of Fripp Island on June 11, according to the Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office.

Franklin “Eric” Clark’s body was found June 12. Clark was apparently caught in an undertow, according to witnesses.

A forensic autopsy was conducted at the Medical University of South Carolina to confirm the cause of Clark’s death, which based on witness accounts appears to have been an accidental drowning.

Various agencies assisted in the search for the teen, including the sheriff ’s office, the U.S. Coast Guard, the S.C. Department of Natural Resources, Beaufort Marine Rescue, Fripp Island Security, the Fripp Island Fire Depart-

Blaze extinguished, resident saved

Irene Goodnight ireneicu@gmail.com 615-243-4684

At about 8 p.m. on June 11, firefighters from the City of Beaufort/Town of Port Royal Fire Department responded to a structure fire at 1007 McTeer Circle.

Upon arrival firefighters found a fire burning in the living room of the home. The home was occupied at the time of the fire and residents were alerted to the fire by working smoke alarms.

The elderly residents who lived at the house were evacuated by a caregiver.

One of the residents was disoriented and re-entered the home, but was rescued by Lt. Vezin.

The resident who had gone back into the home was treated on scene by Beaufort County EMS for smoke inhalation and transported to Beaufort Memorial Hospital as a precaution for evaluation.

The other resident and caregiver escaped the incident without injury.

The home suffered smoke damage throughout but damage due to the fire was confined to a small area in the living room.

Car owners warned about break-ins

Recently, there have been numerous reports of vehicle break-ins throughout Northern and Southern Beaufort County, according to the Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office.

Although these incidents are referred to as "break-ins,’ the vast majority continue to involve unlocked vehicles that are not forcibly entered.

Perpetrators of this crime generally travel by bicycle or on foot. They wander through parking lots and pull on door handles in search of unlocked vehicles.

When one is found, they rummage through it in hopes of stealing items that are easily concealable: handguns, electronic devices, cash, coins and other valuables.

These simple precautions can reduce your risk of becoming a victim of this crime of opportunity: • Remove your keys, lock your vehicle and set your alarm.

• Avoid leaving anything of value inside your vehicle. At the very least, ensure nothing of value is viewable from the outside.

• "If You See Something, Say Something" Call 9-1-1 and report suspicious persons/activities to law enforcement.

LUNCH BUNCH

Groucho’s serves up fresh, tasty deli food Editor’s note: Members of our staff, aka the Lunch Bunch, go out to lunch to give you the rundown on the food and the atmosphere at local restaurants (OK, admittedly we also like to go out to eat, so win-win!).

This week: Groucho’s Deli.

By Sally Mahan

Groucho’s Deli has a storied history, one that stretches back more than 70 years.

But we didn’t care about that at the time.

We only cared about eating.

And eat we did. (More about that history in a bit).

Groucho’s, which is at 81 Sea Island Parkway on Lady’s Island right across the bridge from Beaufort, serves up some amazing deli fare.

It’s known for its tasty potato salad and coleslaw, along with its scrumptious sandwiches.

In addition to loads of meat with all of the accouterments (lettuce, various types of cheese, bacon, tomato, etc.), it’s their play on sauces that help it stand out from other delis.

The special sauces are the “Formula 45,” a mix of Thousand Island and Russian blend with some spice thrown in; “Formula “95,” a light, sweet and tangy mustard blend; Danish Bleu, a Scandanavian sauce with a sour cream base; and some of the standards like ranch, mayo, honey mustard, raspberry vinaigrette and Italian.

The meats, which range from ham to turkey to pastrami to roast beef (very lean) and more, are very fresh, and there’s wide variety of breads to choose from, including Jewish rye, pumpernickel, white, wheat, and white or wheat soft-seeded roll.

There’s a lot to choose from on this menu, and my dining partners and I had a hard time deciding between the many sandwiches and

Clockwise from above: low fat White Moose; BLC Chicken Critter; tuna salad plate.

sides. And oh, those sides. There’s the aforementioned homemade potato salad and coleslaw, in addition to bean salad and angel salad (a large plate of turkey breast over a plate of greens and other veggies). There are also a huge variety of other salads on the menu, including pasta salads, grilled chicken and more.

I had the White Moose sandwich (they come with chips and a pickle), which is turkey, melted provolone, lettuce and the 45 sauce. Our sales rep, Betty Davis, ordered the tuna salad plate and was very complimentary about how good the tuna was. The boss, Elizabeth Newberry, had the BLC Chicken Critter, which consists of grilled chicken,

bacon crumbs, cheese melt and lettuce on the soft roll, and our graphic arts director, Hope Oswald, had the low fat White Moose.

We all agreed that the food was exactly what a deli should serve: hardy, tasty and fresh.

Now, back to the history of Groucho’s.

Harold “Groucho” Miller came to Columbia in 1941 with a handful of recipes he thought up as a youngster in a Philadelphia orphanage.

These beginnings and the idea that “quality is the most important ingredient” have led to Groucho’s legendary status for more than 70 years.

In the 1940s, 1950s and 1960’s

Groucho’s Deli established its reputation by serving its high quality meats and cheeses.

Groucho’s began franchising in 2000. It receives lots of franchise applications, but only executes about three new units each year.

Groucho’s feels that by slow controlled growth it can offer excellent launch (and ongoing) support and increase the likelihood for success.

Since its first franchise in Lexington, SC, Groucho’s has grown into multiple cities across South and North Carolina.

From Groucho’s humble beginning to expansion into new territories, the goal of each Groucho’s location is to be “Your Neighborhood Deli.”

IF YOU GO Groucho’s is open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday-Saturday and from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday. It is located at 81 Sea Island Parkway. Call 843-524-4545 or email beaufort@grouchos.com.

Boundary Street properties demolished

Demolition crews were scheduled to tear down and remove the former Huddle House, Sea Eagle market and old fire shed on the southern side of Boundary Street .

The work was scheduled to be done through Friday, June 23.

Once cleared, the sites will be landscaped and converted to passive open-space parks.

The beautification effort is part of the overall Boundary Street Improvement Project, on budget and on schedule for completion in early 2018.

The $32 million construction project is just over 1 mile long, stretching from Neil Road to Sycamore Street at Beaufort City Hall.

A major element of the project is removing overhead power and communications lines and reducing urban clutter while creating a safer environment for travel.

Updates to sewers to get underway

Municipal Separate Stormsewer System programs help preserve the pristine coastal environment. Photo by Joan Eckhardt.

Beginning Saturday, July 1, three Beaufort-area Municipal Separate Stormsewer System (MS4) programs will begin implementation of construction site stormwater runoff control required in their permits.

The three MS4s include unincorporated Beaufort County, the town of Bluffton and the town of Hilton Head Island.

Each of these must develop, implement

and enforce a program to reduce pollutants in stormwater runoff from land-disturbing activities.

Each program must include provisions for the review of Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPPs) for construction activities occurring within their jurisdiction.

July 1 also marks the start date when SWPPPs and applications for construction must be submitted to the MS4s and receive approval from the appropriate local jurisdiction.

Treasurer hosts successful unclaimed funds event

State Treasurer Curtis Loftis and Beaufort County Treasurer Maria Walls came together recently to host an unclaimed funds event at the Bluffton Branch Library.

During the event, citizens of Beaufort County found more than $200,000 in unclaimed money.

Unclaimed property refers to accounts in financial institutions and companies that have had no activity generated or contact with the owner for a period of time. Common forms of unclaimed property include savings or checking accounts, stocks, uncashed dividends or payroll checks, refunds, traveler's checks, trust distributions, insurance payments or refunds and life insurance policies, annuities, certificates of deposit, customer overpayments and utility security deposits.

“Through the hard work of my and Treasurer Loftis’ staff, Beaufort County’s residents were able to reclaim their funds,” said Walls. “Because of our partnership for this event, people’s lives were changed, an air conditioning unit can now be repaired and a home mortgage will be paid off. We are looking forward to working with Treasurer Loftis and his staff in the future.”

The State Treasurer’s Office currently has over $550 million in unclaimed property across the state.

“I want to thank Treasurer Walls for partnering with us to locate the owners of unclaimed funds,” said Loftis. “Many South Carolinians just don’t realize they could have money waiting for them. One of the best parts of my job is finding their money, and putting it back in their hands.”

TV show focuses on Lowcountry conservation

A new episode of The County Channel's award-winning nature series, “Coastal Kingdom,” is being made available on The County Channel’s website at www.bcgov.net.

The episode, “Lowcountry Conservation,” features some of the scientists doing research in the field to help preserve and protect local wildlife.

Segments include diamondback terrapins at the Waddell Mariculture Center; oyster catchers with Dr. Al Segars of the SC Department of Natural Resources; and a look at storm ecology in the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew.

Coastal Kingdom is hosted by naturalist and educator Tony Mills of Spring Island, and is a production partnership between The LowCountry Institute and The County Channel.

Indivisible receives primer on resisting nationalism

More than 55 people met on June 10 for Indivisible Beaufort SC’s monthly mobilization meeting at St. Helena Public Library.

Guest speaker John C. Super of Hilton Head Island presented his talk, “Five Essential Things (Plus One) We Must Do.” Super is an expert in international relations.

His presentation focused on the rise of nationalism in the federal government and how citizens can productively address it through building trust and consensus, disagreeing respectfully without demonizing opponents, focusing on policy and rejecting authoritarianism.

Indivisible Beaufort SC is a local organization active on many fronts aligned with its mission: “To defend our earth, our rights, and our neighbors through actions formed by our core principles of truth, justice, and inclusion.”

A team is working to gain support for a plastic bag ban in the county and has a booth each month at the Port Royal Farmers’ Market.

Other teams are working to support immigrants in the local community, encourage voter turnout, monitor legislative actions on healthcare and the economy, and respond to proposed cuts and regulations in education.

Indivisible Beaufort SC meets monthly at the St. Helena branch public library; all are welcome to attend.

The next meeting is at 11:30 a.m. Saturday, July 15.

The group also launched a Go Fund Me page at www.gofundme.com/indivisible-beaufort-sc-nonprofit to raise money for information packets, petitions, signs and other materials.

Whitehall development to be topic of meeting

With the court challenge over the Whitehall sale no longer an issue, Mid-City Real Estate Partners of Atlanta is moving forward with plans to develop the 19-acre parcel at the eastern end of the Wood Memorial Bridge on the Sea Island Parkway.

The company says planning is very preliminary at this point, but had revealed earlier a "conceptual plan" that included residential, retail/commercial, a boutique hotel and a river-side restaurant.

The public is invited to the meeting.

Friends of Fort Fremont set to meet June 26

The Friends of Fort Fremont will hold a meeting at 2 p.m. Monday, June 26, in the Library Conference Room at St. Helena Public Library.

The Naval Honor Guard from U.S. Navy Hospital Beaufort fold the flag that covered the casket of Navy veteran Raymond Thompson, 72, who died last month in Charleston. Thompson was labeled as indigent after no one came forward to claim his body. He was buried at Beaufort National Cemetery with full military honors through the DAV’s Forget Me Not program for homeless veterans.

One unidentified woman with the Patriot Guard Riders color guard, while holding an American flag said, “Nobody dies alone, Nobody. Not here.”

DAV is a nonprofit charity that provides a lifetime of support for veterans of all generations and their families, helping more than 1 million veterans each year.

The organization provides more than 670,000 rides for veterans attending medical appointments. It also assists military veterans with more than 292,000 benefit

The study also counted pedestrians and bicyclists, of which there were very few at any of the intersections at peak hours.

The report calls from three new traffic signals at: • Sams Point Road and Miller Drive • Sea Island Parkway and Gay Drive • Lady’s Island Dive and Hazel Farm Road The report also recommends moving the traffic light from the current Beaufort High School access road to Sunset Boulevard and shifting the high school’s entrance to the east.

However, that project requires reconfiguring the Lady’s Island shopping center.

In any event, there is no money identified for any of the recommended work.

“Currently there are no funds for improvements,” the report said. “By the time any construction can occur, key developments identified, such as Walmart, Harris Teeter, etc., will likely be completed. … This study anticipates that by the time these signals can be funded and installed with roadway improvements, they will be warranted.”

The report outlines nine projects. Their order and scope can be fluid, engineers wrote.

1. Sams Point Road Right Turn Lane ($761,000) 2. Hazel Farm Road and Gay Drive ($2.98 million) 3. New Lady’s Island Middle School Ac-

claims annually.

In 2016, DAV helped attain more than $4 billion in new and retroactive benefits to care for veterans, their families and survivors.

DAV is also a leader in connecting veterans with meaningful employment, hosting job fairs and providing resources to ensure they have the opportunity to participate in the American Dream their sacrifices have made possible.

With almost 1,300 chapters and 1.3 million members across the country, DAV empowers veterans and their families by helping to provide the resources they need and ensuring the nation keeps the promises made to them. To donate or to learn more, visit www.dav.org.

Mayfair Court Extension ($449,000) 9. U.S. 21 Airport Area and Frontage Road ($4.98 million) Total: $28.8 million The cost for each project is only for the construction itself. The report doesn’t include what will be most likely the costliest aspect of road improvements: property acquisition and easements.

The city won’t be able to look to the SC Department of Transportation for financial help.

Josh Johnson, assistant district traffic engineer, said the state has funding only for safety and maintenance projects. So far, the clogged intersection is too safe to merit state funds to improve safety.

City Planner Libby Anderson said the funding likely will come from a variety of sources, such as traffic impact fees, capital project sales tax, grants and developer contributions for roads on private property.

“We plan to present it to the Beaufort-Port Royal Metropolitan Planning Commission at its July meeting,” Anderson said. “This would be the first step in having appropriate projects put on city and county capital improvement plans.”

The planning board meets at 5:30 p.m., Monday, July 17, at the Beaufort City Council Chambers.

Process wins out over short-term outcome

Short-term outcomes are important, but process ultimately determines long-term results.

Jim O'Shaughnessey, author of “What Works on Wall Street,” recently wrote about seven traits that he believes are required for active investors to win in the long run.

I fully agree with all seven, but I found No. 2 on his list to be particularly compelling: 2. Successful Active Investors Value Process over Outcome.

“If you can’t describe what you are doing as a process, you don’t know what you’re doing.”

- W. Edwards Deming The vast majority of investors make investment choices based upon the past performance of a manager or investment strategy.

So much so that SEC Rule 156 requires all money managers to include the disclosure that “past performance is not indicative of future results.”

It’s ubiquitous – and routinely ignored by both managers and their clients.

In keeping with human nature, we just can’t help ourselves when confronted with great or lousy recent Charles Tumlin performance.

“What’s his/her track record?” is probably investors’ most frequently asked question when considering a fund or investment strategy. And, as mentioned above, the vast majority of investors are most concerned with how an investment did over the last one- or three-year period.

Yet successful active investors go further and ask, “What’s his or her process in making investment decisions?”

Outcomes are important, but it’s much more important to study and understand the underlying process that led to the outcome,

be it good or bad.

If you only focus on outcomes, you have no idea if the process that generated it is superior or inferior. This leads to performance chasing and relying far too much on recent outcomes to be of any practical use.

Indeed, shorter-term performance can be positively misleading. Long-term success with active management comes from doing sufficient due diligence to either design a robust investment process yourself (or to employ one designed by someone else) and then to execute, execute, execute.

If the process is sound, long-term outcomes should take care of themselves.

“In addition to a stronger base upon which to conduct real estate transactions, the overall economy is in better shape than it was a decade ago,” said Gresham. “More jobs are available, unemployment is relatively low and workers have more faith in their wages and the potential for wage increases.

Although we continue to battle an inventory shortage in much of the country, optimism remains high for a successful summer for buying and selling homes.”

Lime Lite Salon joins sustainability initiative

Check out the numbers: 63,180 pounds of hair clippings, 42,122 pounds of hair color, 109,512 pounds of foil and color tubes and 206,392 pounds of wastepaper, salon bottles and other paper and plastic items.

That’s the amount of waste being tossed out by hair salons across North America every single day.

As a newly Green Circle Certified Salon, Lime Lite Salon is now part of a comprehensive recycling and sustainability program that sets out to significantly reduce the industry’s environmental impact on the planet.

From the sourcing of ingredients to the disposal of packaging and products, the salon and beauty industry has long posed many challenges to the environment.

With this in mind, Lime Lite Salon wanted to join forces with Green Circle to take a stand for the planet and work together to reduce its ecological footprint and make the industry more sustainable.

Through its partnership with Green Circle Salons, Lime Lite will be redirecting what was once considered garbage out of water streams and landfills to be repurposed into innovative green solutions.

All hair clippings, extensions, any excess color and developer, papers and plastics, foils, aerosol cans and color tubes from Lime Lite Salon will be collected by GCS, effectively cutting down the salon’s total waste by 85-95 percent.

Located in the heart of downtown Beaufort, Lime Lite is committed to providing exceptional service and industry knowledge to its guests. It is committed to being a sustainable, responsible salon.

High home prices lead to strong lending standards

Home prices across the U.S. are reaching all-time highs, prompting worry over another boom-and-bust scenario like the one experienced roughly 10 years ago.

Yet, according to Janet Gresham, CEO of the Beaufort County Association of Realtors and the Beaufort Multiple Listing Service Inc., “As we glance across the state of residential real estate, what is clear compared to the last extended run of price increases is that lending standards are now much stronger than they were before.

“Incomes must be verified, a reasonable amount of money must be paid toward the home prior to purchase and a more stringent loan approval process is in place to prevent a repeat performance of the Great Recession.”

In Beaufort County in May, new listings were up 13 percent to 304. Pending Sales decreased 4.4 percent to 216. Inventory grew 3.9 percent to 1,049 units.

Prices moved higher as Median Sales Price was up 9.8 percent to $202,500. Days

The South Carolina Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA) and the South Carolina State Board of Financial Institutions - Consumer Finance Division (BOFI-CFD) have announced changes made during the 2017 legislative session to state mortgage laws.

Senate Bill 366 amends the Mortgage Lending Act and Mortgage Broker Act, providing updates that reduce the regulatory burden on industry.

These changes also decrease initial license application costs without compromising consumer protections, according to a press release.

The bill was a collaborative effort between the agencies and the Mortgage Bankers Association of the Carolinas. The new law becomes effective Sept. 16, and makes the following changes: • Adoption of the Uniform State Test. License applicants will no longer take a South Carolina specific test as a part of the licensing process. Instead, applicants will take the Uniform State Test along with three hours of South Carolina specific training for pre-licensing education (PE).

• Elimination of State Criminal Background Check. The requirement of a state criminal background check for license applicants has been removed. The Nationwide Multistate Licensing System & Registry (NMLS) already administers national background checks for mortgage companies and individuals. State background check data is reported to the national system within 24 hours of processing.

• Continuing Education Requirements.

The amendment requires that at least one hour of the eight hours of required Continuing Education (CE) be on South Carolina-specific laws. Current licensees will have until license renewal in November of 2018 to satisfy this requirement.

Additional changes include: • Residence as licensed location. Clarifies when a residence may be licensed as a branch location.

• Broker brick and mortar removal. Deletes the requirement for a mortgage broker to have a physical location in SC. • Dual license clarification. Adds parameters to determine when a mortgage lender would not need to obtain a mortgage broker license when engaging in both activities.

Timeshares focus of new legislation

The South Carolina Department of Consumer Affairs (SCDCA) recently announced the passage of House Bill 3647, which offers greater consumer protections in the arena of timeshare resale.

H3647 addresses several facets of the timeshare resale process: • Written contract. Timeshare resale service providers are required to give consumers a written contract including a complete description of the services offered, the length of the contract, and SCDCA’s telephone and web address.

• Five-day right to cancel. Consumers have a right to cancel the timeshare resale contract within five business days.

• Fee restrictions and escrow. The bill establishes guidelines for the transfer of money during the resale process. Timeshare resale service providers cannot charge a consumer upfront for an appraisal, but may charge for marketing or advertising efforts. Any monies given to the timeshare resale service provider by the consumer must be held in escrow until the complete execution of the contract.

• Enforcement. SCDCA may enforce these new provisions through penalties, warning notices, cease and desist orders and consumer refunds.

While the law creates some great consumer protections, SCDCA always urges consumers to be on guard and take proactive steps to protect themselves in the marketplace. Consumers looking for a timeshare reseller should: • Adequately research the company. Find out if the timeshare resale service provider has any complaints on file with SCDCA. A quick Internet search may reveal complaints as well.

• Know the terms. Oral promises are hard to prove. Make sure the contract includes all promises in writing and never sign a blank or incomplete contract.

Visit SCDCA’s website for tips on avoiding timeshare resale scams. Consumers can file a complaint against a timeshare resale service provider at www.consumer.sc.gov or by calling 800-922-1594.

HEALTH

It’s all in your head … literally For the past several decades, I’ve been a migraineur. As much as I wish that meant “a pastry chef in a French restaurant,” that’s not the case. Instead, I’m one of more than 10 million Americans who have migraine headaches.

According to Dr. Mark Hyman – physician, New York Times best-selling author and founder/director of the UltraWellness Center – these severe, nearly disabling headaches can occur from once a year to three or four times a week and can last from hours to days. Symptoms can include an aura, light or sound sensitivity, nausea, vomiting, severe pain on one or both sides of the head, strokelike symptoms or paralysis.

Each year, migraines add $13 to $17 billion to healthcare costs for medication, ER visits, hospitalization, physician services, lab and diagnostic services, and managing the side effects of treatment. Migraines are the most frequent pain-related complaint among workers, resulting in absenteeism and decreased productivity.

These pesky pain-producers are difficult to treat and hard to prevent with conventional methods. A slew of preventive drugs work poorly and often have side effects.

Like many migraineurs, I’ve spent all too many hours in a darkened bedroom with ice on my head. But that’s not much fun and time is valuable. So through the years, I’ve accumulated a repertoire of possible preventive techniques and pain-easers. The cream of the crop

LIFE FROM A NEW POINT OF VIEW

Katherine Tandy Brown has traveled the world as a freelance writer for 25 years. She teaches memoir, travel writing and writing practice in USCB’s OLLI Continuing Ed program and in her downtown cottage. A certified writing coach, she is penning her first novel, “One to Go: An Equine Thriller.”

of that information follows.

Triggers Identifying individual triggers can be helpful. The No. 1 trigger for many people is stress. Reduce stress and your head issues will probably ease. Other triggers may include allergies, hormonal changes, letdown after a high-pressure situation, changes in barometric pressure, strong food odors, such as raw onion or gasoline, food allergies, artificial sweeteners, MSG, alcohol, gluten, getting too hot or too cold, spending too much time in front of a computer screen, changes in sleep or wake time, and/or overuse of pain medications, which may cause a “rebound” headache.

For some people, regular exercise can help ward off headaches. For others, it can actually be a trigger, as it increases heart rate, blood pressure and blood flow to the brain.

Prevention Avoid stress as much as possible. Create a few minutes of down time each day for meditation, yoga, massage and/or being in nature.

Become aware of stressors, get plenty of sleep, drink lots of water and don’t get chilled or overheated. Take breaks from intense computer work to stretch, especially your neck and shoulders, and focus your eyes on distant objects. Sleep on a firm, supportive mattress with a neck-supporting pillow. Identify allergies and use natural relief methods such as chiropractic, acupuncture and homeopathy.

Treatment Each individual is different and treatments vary with varying types of headaches.

Every doctor and migraineur will agree that a remedy is more apt to work if you use it as soon as you feel a headache coming on. The following is not a complete list by any means.

Not all work all the time. When none work, medication can be the solution.

1. Put two used, spongy tennis balls in a sock. Lie with your head on these right at the base of the skull, with ice on your forehead.

2. Stand in hot water with ice on your head or stand with your face in the stream of a hot shower.

drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat ischemic stroke.

According to current guidelines, the drug should be started within 60 minutes of a patient’s arrival in the hospital to minimize brain damage and potential complications.

BMH physicians have consistently outperformed the “door-to-needle” goal, averaging 44 minutes in 2016.

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.

To improve patient care for stroke patients in the community, Beaufort Memorial has taken full advantage of the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) Health Telestroke, a Web-based program that provides Emergency Department and Intensive Care Unit physicians with on-demand access to MUSC Health stroke experts for consultations.

Palmetto Hospital Trust (PHT) was founded in 1977 by South Carolina healthcare executives as a group workers’ compensation self-insurance pool. The Trust members include hospitals, continuing care retirement centers, organizations dealing with special needs individuals and other healthcare organizations.

PHT is a leading provider of workers’ compensation coverage to the state’s healthcare industry.

Workers’ compensation services are provided to PHT members under a contract with PHT Services Ltd., and through business alliances with other best practices companies.

3. Put a bit of salt water in your hand and snort hard through each nostril, so it actually goes into the sinuses, exiting through the mouth.

4. Use supplements and or herbs, such as B-complex, magnesium, iodine (iodized salt), PA-free butterbur or feverfew.

5. Eat protein, such as peanut butter or steak.

6. Stop eating gluten, i.e., any products containing wheat, barley or rye.

7. Induce “brain freeze,” by eating ice cream or consuming an icy drink.

8. Ingest caffeine, via coffee or dark chocolate.

9. Massage the tips of the toes and around the hard edge of each ear.

10. Visit a massage therapist for head, neck and cranio-sacral treatment.

11. Relax with meditation. Visualize the pain abating.

12. Drain your sinuses by using a nasal pot.

13. Practice yogic Pranayama, or alternate nostril breathing.

14. Dab oil of peppermint under each nostril, on each temple and at the point on the back of the head where the spine meets the skull.

The above information is but a small sampling of options. Scads more is available online from sources such as the Mayo Clinic and WebMD sites. Always consult your physician before any change of treatment.

HEALTH BRIEFS BMH ranked tops for stroke care

Beaufort Memorial Hospital (BMH) has achieved the American Heart Association/ American Stroke Association’s highest level of recognition for stroke care, joining the ranks of some of the best hospitals in the country.

This year, BMH was honored with the Get With The Guidelines-Stroke Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award for providing stroke patients with the most up-to-date, evidence-based care.

In addition, it qualified for Target: Stroke Honor Roll-Elite Plus status, reserved for hospitals that consistently deliver expeditious treatment to patients suffering an acute ischemic stroke.

“With a stroke, minutes count,” said Beaufort Memorial Vice President of Quality Services Shawna Doran. “These awards demonstrate our commitment to quality in following evidence-based practices for stroke care.”

Recipients of the Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award must follow treatment guidelines at least 85 percent of the time for two or more consecutive 12-month periods and achieve a minimum 75 percent compliance with five of eight stroke quality measures.

The quality measures are designed to help hospital teams provide appropriate treatment based on the latest scientific evidence shown to raise patients’ survival rates and minimize permanent disability.

To qualify for Target: Stroke Honor Roll Elite Plus, BMH had to meet quality measures developed to reduce the time it takes for patients to be diagnosed and treated with the clot-busting medication tPA – the only

The Lending Room has growing pains

Four years ago The Lending Room was a charitable organization that helped people secure medical equipment when in need.

Today it is a busy nonprofit that is bursting at the seams. Its mission is simple: accept and distribute gently used medical equipment to anyone regardless of income or insurance.

The Lending Room has kept valuable resources from the dump or rusting in people’s attics and basements. It allows people to avoid the red tape of insurance companies and get their equipment needs met.

In an attempt to meet the growing needs of the community it has become increasingly important to make accessibility consistent.

Once a phone call to arrange pick up was enough, now people routinely stop in to see if The Lending Room has what they need.

As an organization, The Lending Room is experiencing some growing pains. It is in need of volunteers that wouldn’t mind giving three hours a week (or every other week) to “man the store.”

To lend a hand, to donate or if you know someone in need of medical rehab equipment, call 843-524-2554 or e-mail lendingroom@yahoo.com.

It’s dragonboat time in the Lowcountry!

The popular DragonBoat Race Day will be held Saturday, June 24, at Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park in Beaufort.

Local community, business and civic teams will paddle against each other for medals.

Dragonboat racing is a flat-water, paddling sport. The challenge in dragonboat racing lies more in synchronization with your fellow paddlers through the entire race than in the paddling technique, although both are important.

The 2016 DragonBoat Race Day drew nearly 700 paddlers, 32 teams and thousands of spectators to the Beaufort seawall.

The event raised thousands of dollars for the organization, which helps support those impacted by cancer in Beaufort County both through the sport of dragonboat racing, and outreach efforts, including one-one-one grants to help with needs that are typically

not met through traditional means.

Originating in Southern China over 2,000 years ago, dragonboat racing started gathering interest in the western world in the 1970s.

Today, it is incredibly popular both as a recreational and highly competitive sport and is enjoyed by people of all ages all around the world and is especially popular for community and corporate team building, charitable fundraising events, and for promoting awareness and support for cancer.

Dragonboat racing is governed by the International Dragon Boat Federation (IDBF) and its country members, including the United States Dragon Boat Federation and the regional organization, the SoutheasternRegional Dragonboat Association.

On June 17, 2015, a mass shooting took place at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in downtown Charleston.

During a prayer service, nine people, including the senior pastor, SC Sen. Clementa C. Pinckney, were killed by gunman Dylann Roof, 21.

On June 16, an Evening of Remembrance Memorial Candlelight Service, took place in memory of the victims of the attack.

Roof was convicted of 33 federal hate crime charges stemming from the shooting and was sentenced to death in January.

Arthur Cummings, right, president of the Beaufort County Ministerial Alliance, lights the last candle on June 16 in memory of the “Emanuel Nine” who were murdered two years ago while attending Emanuel AME Church in Charleston.

AmeriCorps members honored by United Way As the 2016-17 service years draws to a close, AmeriCorps members are being recognized by the United Way of the Lowcountry.

AmeriCorps members support the United Way of the Lowcountry’s Early Grade Reading (EGR) initiative, now referred to as "Read Indeed."

Members serve along with more than 300 community volunteers as tutors in 12 elementary schools and preschools throughout Beaufort and Jasper counties, providing reading assistance to students in pre-kindergarten through third grade.

AmeriCorps members are a core group of tutors who serve the entire school year. Because they are in the schools several days each week, they provide continuity and stability to the program.

The 2016-17 service year included 34 AmeriCorps members. Some of the members will continue to serve during the summer with the summer reading program.

The following fourth-year members were recognized during a special ceremony earlier this month for their service: Ellen Newcomb, Emily Starry, Mander Givens, Judi Gracia, Brenda Grossberg and Al-

BlackButterFly Foundation soars into second year The BlackButterFly Foundation, a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization, recently held an event called “It's a Family Affair” at Penn Center.

The event, in honor of Father's Day, was open to the public at no charge.

The “Little ButterFlys” showed off their dance skills and modeled two changes of clothes for the audience.

The preteen and teen ButterFlys presented their vocal and instrumental skills as well as their oral presentation on Rachel Crane Mather, founder of the Industrial School in 1867. She was commissioned by the American Mission Society to establish a school for black students near Beaufort.

The teens gave the same speech at the Technical College of the Lowcountry dedication of the Rachel Crane Mather Museum.

Among those in attendance at the ButterFly event was Anne Pollitzer, formerly of the Eleanor Christensen Montessori School and daughter of Eleanor Christensen, who recently presented the foundation with a check that represented the remaining funds in the account of the now closed E.C. Montessori program.

According to Angel Ryan, BBF CEO and founder, the first recital and fashion show was a success.

were happy. My daughter would be proud.”

Her daughter, Christina Ryan Henegar, 24, died as a result of injuries received in an apartment fire in November 2014.

The BlackButterFly – The Christina Ryan Henegar Foundation, was created in her

memory and provides classes and training in arts-related fields as well as teaches the participants life skills.

“Christina was a world travel and a classically trained dancer that received a B.A. at age 20 from the University of Surrey in the

UK. She wanted the kids in Beaufort to have the opportunity to experience life and the world similar to the way she had” said Ryan.

“That's what we hope to achieve for the young ones: opportunity and experience.”

AROUND TOWN & VOICES

Marsh tacky races coming to Beaufort The Santa Elena Foundation will present “A Lowcountry Fair with Historical Flair,” a fun-filled day that will include marsh tacky horse races, horse shows, living history re-enactments, weapons demonstrations, music and special performances, children’s petting zoo and activities, refreshments and much more.

It will be held on the private grounds of Cotton Hall Plantation in Northern Beaufort County from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Nov. 18.

“The Lowcountry Fair will be a stand-out event for the community to enjoy and experience early local heritage mixed in with plenty of good fun, food and friendship,” said Megan Meyer, executive director of the Santa Elena History Center. “This furthers the promotion of our efforts to highlight Beaufort County’s unique history and collaborate with many organizations and individuals throughout the community.”

Headlining the event are the marsh tacky horses, whose races will provide an exciting show for the crowd. Led by the Carolina Marsh Tacky Association, the races will

showcase horses from all parts of the Southeast and bring awareness to the special breed originally introduced by the Spanish explorers of the 16th century.

“We are excited to bring the marsh tacky race back to the Lowcountry. As we strive to save the breed, it’s important to celebrate their historical significance,” said Jackie McFadden, secretary of the Carolina Marsh Tacky Association. “By partnering with the Santa Elena Foundation the day of racing will be even more enjoyable with myriad other activities on the grounds of such a special place.”

Tickets will be available for purchase in advance (online) and at the gate on the date of the event. Levels include: $20 for adults; $10 for children (ages 5-15); $50 for families; and $40 for active duty military families.

Also available to help the event generate proceeds for the Santa Elena Foundation’s mission are patron tickets at $100 and recognized sponsorship levels starting at $500.

The event is weather contingent and all donations will benefit the Santa Elena

The marsh tacky is the South Carolina state heritage horse and one of the most endangered breeds in the world. They once roamed freely by the hundreds through the South Carolina Sea Islands and Lowcountry, but their numbers neared extinction as tractors, trucks and development took the place of horsepower. Today, only around 400 marsh tacky horses remain.

Work can ease the mind while exhausting the body There are days when I long for simplicity, joy found in unexpected corners of normalcy and moments of innocent humanity flowing through the labyrinth of chaotic days.

Society progresses further into the technical realm while my home-grown soul retreats in thought when impossible in circumstance.

Often I wonder how many others dream of dusty dirt roads, necessary tasks and work that eased the mind while exhausting the body.

Old, rusty and built to promote injury, was my grandpa's manual push lawnmower.

Real wood and powerful steel wheels with the ironic stamp of “run easy” was a magnet for my childish determination. Tormenting Mississippi temperatures did little to discourage my mission.

Humored and equally curious, my papaw would appease my quest on occasion, always proclaiming my choice of toy to be odd at best.

Weighing at least four times my weight, standing Cherimie Crane almost twice my height Weatherford and equally matched in stubborn motion, my old rusty friend and I would pace up and down the field.

The smell of grass and the scent of accomplishment kept me going row after row.

The threat of loss of limb held my attention while the proof of achievement fueled my desire to push forward.

In retrospect, dolls would have been far less hazardous; however, the quiet cooper-

ation between me and the torturous device calmed my busy mind and eased my restless nature. Push, pull and repeat to accomplish a goal. There was no confusing nuance, no socially unacceptable approach and certainly no reason to document my every move.

If there was an instruction manual, I didn't need it. No motor, no noise other than the crickets and Momma constantly screaming off the porch at all the reasons I should choose dolls.

Thankfully there was no neighborhood traffic to encourage passersby to call in concern over child labor; actually there were no neighbors. There was no political correctness to dictate appropriate age and no forum for accusatory judgment by those with more time and less will.

Just a field, a little girl and a job that need-

ed to be done.

Papaw would giggle as he treated me with mason jar tea, always patting my sweat drenched hair while offering his amazement at my refusal to stop.

Part defiance, part compulsion, I would push and pull, up and down until the grass bowed in defeat.

It wasn't simple to do but it was simple to understand. A task needing to be done and a tool capable of completion with a little girl that appreciated the irony in “run easy.”

Sometimes I think life is easier with a simple push-and-pull.

A $20 tomato provides a lesson in gardening One day, a few years back, a gardener who was helping with the yard work gave me some good advice about lawns, gardening and fishing. He followed up with “you have to be really dumb to starve here in the Lowcountry.”

He was referencing all the good vegetables you can grow and the fish available.

This year, we finally decided to plant our own vegetable garden and we discovered, we are not too smart, because we have now officially grown a $20 tomato.

Why, you ask, would someone want to grow a $20 tomato? Obviously because we are too dumb to do it correctly.

We started with our three little tomato plants. We bought a bell tomato plant, a grape tomato plant and another kind, which for the life of me, I cannot remember.

We bought cages for them so the deer and rabbits would not chomp on them. We watered

Now what?

the plants, tested the soil and we waited. But the plants appeared to have stunted growth.

We researched the problem. We retested the soil and added tomato fertilizer. We made sure they had enough water, but not too much. We read that we should pinch off the suckers (we didn’t have any).

Finally, it happened. Five little grape tomatoes. They were beautiful.

But that was it.

Our poor little plant gave it its best, and that was all. The second plant did not even bother to produce anything.

But the bell tomato plant finally started to grow. Out came its one lonely prize: an orange/red tomato that looked beautiful. We cut it up, sprinkled some Italian dressing on it with some fresh basil and ate it. That was all.

Our $20 tomato – gone in minutes.

The plant it came from expired from all

the effort.

I thought back to what that guy told me.

What happened? We are not dumb. Our problem is that for the better part of our lives, we did not have a garden and obviously do not have green thumbs.

Then it occurred to us: We do not have to grow our own vegetables. All we have to do is drive down Sea Island Parkway and buy any fresh vegetables in season. The gardener wasn’t talking about us doing it, but the local farmers.

As for the fish, well, you can find places up and down U.S. 21 for shrimp and any fresh fish in season.

Yes, eating that $20 tomato was great. But as we calculated the cost of everything, we could have bought a lot of vegetables for that same amount of money. Maybe we are not so dumb after all.

To run or not to run? That is the question ’Tis apparently the season for prospective candidates for local public office to make up their minds whether it’s “Go” or “No” for them in the upcoming election season.

I know this because I have heard from several who are making up their minds.

Depending upon how experienced they are and how well I know them, my advice has varied a little, but not much.

Here’s the short course.

If there’s something you believe the community needs, and you have the fire in your belly to clear all the hurdles to get it for them, then run. Tell the voters what you’re going to do for them, how you’re going to do it, why they need it, and how they can help you. If they agree, they may give you the job.

The candidates who step into office with clear direction find the job the most rewarding.

Next in line in terms of personal satisfaction are the ideologues. These are the ones who know precisely what the world needs — e.g. government spends too much, or society will be better if the poor get a firmer hand up, or the environment needs protecting at all costs — and they won’t be deterred by alternative arguments. Since ideologues know

they are always right, they derive relatively little angst from the difficulties of leadership and thusly find satisfaction in it.

Then there are those who bring with them a special skill set that they Bill Rauch believe — probably correctly — the government needs. They may be experienced in running government or in the proper protocols at the intersections of government and business. Or maybe they know from long experience the workings of state or federal agencies that implement transportation, or environmental or business development policy.

These candidates are problem-solvers, and government can always use problem-solvers.

These are the ones, listed in the order of the satisfaction they’re likely to gain from their service, who should run. Let’s call these three groups — the directed, the ideologues, and the problem-solvers — collectively the “above the line” groups.

These are the ones who are most likely to get things done for their constituents. And, betraying my own prejudices a little, to me

getting the things done that the constituents want done is what it’s all about.

Then there are the three groups who should not run. Members of these groups will seek to disguise themselves as members of the “above the line” groups, but when you query them closely you may find you are not fooled and they in fact belong more appropriately to one or more of the three “below the line” groups.

What are the “below the line” groups?

First, it’s important to know that their members are just as eager — perhaps even more so — as the above-the-liners.

A few of those who seek elective office do so because they want to enrich themselves.

Sometimes they make a little money, but then they get found out and defending themselves often costs more than they made. Certainly it costs them their reputations. Most importantly, since it is not their priority, they accomplish little for the constituency.

Others run because they seek fame, and while they may gain some celebrity the question will soon become, “For what?” If there’s no “there” there, then they become known as what? An empty shirt.

Finally the most frustrated of all the below-the-liners are the ones who wish to be

loved. Some of those you serve will be obsequious around you of course because they naturally — and justifiably — fear the government, and now you are the government’s face. But not all.

The stark tragedy for this group is when they meet a hundred people and 99 smile at them and say kind things, the one they remember is the one who sniffed at them.

And there are always more than a few of those.

These slights may cause these officials sleepless nights, but what about their constituents?

Getting things done in government means inevitably someone somewhere will be made unhappy. There are no solutions that benefit absolutely everybody. Accordingly, the ones that want to be loved by everybody don’t accomplish anything for the constituency.

Ultimately they are then unhappy because someone slighted them, and the constituency is unhappy because time and again when the official was about to get something done, he flinched.

SCHOOLS & SPORTS

Reverend Pinckney Scholars are named

Pictured above from left: Bill Lewis, Joe Riley, (Davontay Dopson, Ambriance Lamar, Briona Millidge, Shawna Wright), Jennifer Pinckney, Skip Gates, and Josh Steiner.

The Coastal Community Foundation has announced the second set of scholarship recipients of the Reverend Pinckney Scholars Program, established at the foundation in memory of the late Rev. Clementa C. Pinckney and in response to the June 17, 2015 massacre at Emanuel AME Church.

“Furthering your education was always important to Clementa. He valued it and felt it should not be taken for granted,” said 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. This year’s group of scholars are amazing.”

The four-year renewable scholarship program, which is dedicated to promoting access to higher education for African-American students, will benefit 11 Class of 2017 scholars from Beaufort, Charleston and Jasper counties who will receive a total of approximately $80,000 for each of their four years of college, in addition to supportive resources (professional development and network-

ing opportunities) through the foundation during their college career.

“Our Class of 2017 Pinckney Scholars embody an impressive variety of intellectual interests and life experiences,” said author, historian, and Harvard professor Dr. Henry Louis Gates.

“What unites them, though, is their passion for learning, and the use of education to effect positive social change in their communities.

These students are destined for greatness, and I am honored to be part of the committee that has the privilege of selecting them.”

The class of 2017 Reverend Pinckney Scholars from the local area include: • Davontay Dopson, Ridgeland-Hardeeville High School (Newberry College) • Ambriance Lamar, Whale Branch Early College High School (Converse College) • Briona Millidge, Whale Branch Early College High School (Winthrop University) • Shawna Wright, Whale Branch Early College High School (Winthrop University) Scholars are eligible to renew their award each year by maintaining good standing in the program, with an expected total award of

$320,000 to the Class of 2017 over their four years of college.

The program — now in its second year — is supporting 21 students in total with a dollar amount of nearly $160,000 being awarded in the 2017-2018 academic year.

“This program gives promising students an opportunity to attend their first-choice schools,” said 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 so this difference is integral to student achievement.”

Programming for new scholars will begin this summer with an initial orientation session on July 15 covering topics pertaining to the college transition, such as time management and on-campus resources.

All Pinckney Scholars (Class of 2016 and Class of 2017) will attend a luncheon and professional development session with former U.S. Ambassador to South Africa Dr. James A. Joseph.

Each scholar and a guest will be invited to

attend the Coastal Community Foundation’s annual gala celebration that evening where Joseph is scheduled to give the keynote speech.

About the program On July 2, 2015, a group of anonymous donors, moved by the tragic murders at Mother Emanuel AME Church and Charleston’s remarkable response to the shooting, created a $3.2 million scholarship fund in honor of the Rev. Clementa C. Pinckney.

In March 2016, Coastal Community Foundation began to administer the scholarship fund and its companion program, the Reverend Pinckney Scholars Program.
