Penn Center fence stirs emotion, controversy among St. Helena residents BY JUSTIN JARRETT
COVERING BEAUFORT COUNTY
Beaufortonians are no strangers to the “sound of freedom” — but it takes on a different tune this time of year. The sights and sounds of fireworks will fill the air Wednesday, as amateur and professional pyrotechnicians alike celebrate Independence Day. There are plenty of events scheduled throughout the area to help you get your prescribed patriotism.
PORT ROYAL
About half a dozen protestors show their distaste with the current Penn Center Board of Trustees on Saturday, June 23, at the intersection of Sea Island Parkway and Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. Event organizers said they can’t stop the fence around Penn Center from being built as construction there has already started. Jayme Bowman said, “we’ve changed our focus and are aiming at Penn Center Board of Trustees. It (the board) totally ignored and circumvented the Advisory Committee and disregarded all of our appeals” to not build the fence. A protest march along U.S. 21 from St. Helena Elementary School to Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. is scheduled for Saturday, June 30. “We expect to have more than 100 people to march”, Bowman said.

Fire Safety Education saves Beaufort home from extensive damage Firefighters from the City of Beaufort-Town of Port Royal Fire Department received a call just before 8 p.m. on Friday, June 22, for a home that had smoke and flames showing in the 2600 block of South Royal Oaks Drive. The first firefighter on scene was Lt. Gary Guldner (retired City of Beaufort-Town of Port Royal FD) who reported over the radio that the homeowner and neighbors had successfully extinguished the fire with their portable fire extinguishers. “We never want to see a fire happen and we believe a large majority of fires are completely preventable” Fire Chief Reece Bertholf said. “But when we do have fires, this is the outcome we want.
Swift, correct action, taken by trained individuals stopped the spread of this fire, which was moments away from entering the roof structure of this home and causing major, catastrophic, damage. When properly trained and capable, non-fire department personnel with a fire extinguisher can make a big difference.” No one was injured extinguishing the growing fire. Investigators with the fire department learned that an evening fish fry had gone wrong, causing the fire. The homeowner had the fryer set up on the covered back porch. At some point the oil overheated and caught fire, causing damage to the underside of the porch roof, melting the vinyl siding, and

causing smoke to enter the home. Firefighters had to use electric fans to remove the smoke from the home and used hand tools to check the vinyl siding and soffit of the porch to make sure the fire was completely out. “Proper application of fire extinguishers saved the day here” said Captain Tim Ogden, Fire Marshal and head of fire investigations for the City of Beaufort-Town of Port Royal Fire Department. The following morning, Battalion Chief Warren “Chip” Cooler went door to door on South Royal Oaks Drive with an arm full of replacement fire

Cooler personally thanked the neighbors and the fire department showed their appreciation by replacing their fire extinguishers. “These people stepped up when their neighbor needed help and we want to say thank you” Cooler said. “We have a robust public safety education program and providing smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and information has been a part of what we do for as long as I have worked for this department.

The center hosts summer camps, after-school care, and daycare programs. The board notes the gates will be open during the day and during special events but locked with electronic key access at night. “We hope the community will begin to become involved with Penn Center by volunteering, donating, and sharing their ideas with Penn versus fighting change,” the organization replied to a concerned citizen via Facebook. “We pray that preservation of this historic site is at the forefront of the entire community in all that we say and do. We seek to keep our ancestors proud.” SAFETY TIPS FOR FRYING: • All frying should be outside in an open, uncovered area • Don’t overfill the frying pot with oil • Constantly attend frying activities • Closely monitor the temperature of the oil, keeping it below 400 degrees at all times • Be prepared to turn off the heat immediately • Keep a fire extinguisher rated to extinguish grease fires at the ready (K rated for commercial applications; B:C or ABC for home use) • Have the lid for the cooking pot at the ready to smother any flames • Phone nearby to call 911 in the event of an emergency

Salute from the Shore urges visitors to “salute” by wearing and waving red, white, and blue on the beaches during the flyover. Salute from the Shore also encourages participants to share their stories about why they love

BMH joins forces with MDsave to offer discounted rates Beaufort Memorial Hospital (BMH) is now offering patients with no health insurance or high-deductible plans discounted rates on a wide range of medical services through MDsave, an online healthcare marketplace. By paying upfront, patients can receive up to 60 percent off the average rates for lab work, imaging tests, physical therapy, primary care visits and a variety of same-day surgeries — and avoid complicated hospital billing. Rather than receive separate invoices from the hospital and physicians, the services are bundled into one bill and paid directly to MDsave. Beaufort Memorial is the only hospital in the area participating in the cost-saving program. “With the rising cost of health insurance, more employers are now moving to plans with high deductibles ranging from $2,000 to $5,000,” said Beaufort Memorial Chief Financial Officer Ken Miller. “MDsave is a
great way for patients with high deductibles to get hospital services at a reduced fee.” It is estimated that more than 44 million Americans have no insurance coverage, and another 38 million are underinsured. Another 17.4 million have high-deductible health plans. For many of these patients, out-of-pocket expenses prevent them from getting the medical care they need, especially preventive procedures that could help stave off future health issues. BMH already offers uninsured and selfpay patients discounts, but the savings are less than what’s available through the MDsave marketplace. “We can charge the absolute lowest price with MDsave because we get the money up front and we don’t incur any billing costs,” Miller said. An MRI, for example, might cost $2,500 on the healthcare exchange. But by booking
through MDsave, a patient can get the test at BMH for $505. Low monthly financing plans are available on the MDsave website for those who need assistance paying for care. The number of BMH services available through MDsave continues to be expanded and now includes blood work and other lab tests; imaging services, like mammograms, ultrasounds and X-rays; physical, occupational and speech therapy for children and adults; primary care office visits; and same-
day surgery. Among the outpatient procedures covered by the program are colonoscopies, upper endoscopies, laparoscopic gall bladder removal, laparoscopic repair of incisional hernia, and hip and knee arthroscopy. Prices for the surgeries include hospital, physician, anesthesia and, in most cases, pathology. The plan works like this: Simply select a service at BeaufortMemorial.org/MDSave, pay online and receive a voucher for the test, visit, or procedure. If you don’t already have an appointment, the hospital will contact you to schedule after confirming the order with your referring physician. When you go in for your appointment, you turn in the voucher. The program is not available to Medicare and Medicaid patients. To learn what Beaufort Memorial Hospital services are available, go BeaufortMemorial.org/MDSave.

St. Helena man sentenced to life for 2015 murder, kidnapping Tyrone Anthony Wallace Jr., was found guilty Friday, June 22, of the 2015 killing of 38-year-old Vernon Steve and the kidnapping of a second man. Wallace is the fourth person convicted in connection with the death of Steve, whose burned remains were found Nov. 18, 2015, on the shoulder of Pea Patch Road on St. Helena Island. Steve’s mother had reported him missing three weeks earlier. Wallace’s convictions followed four days of testimony from 16 prosecution witnesses in Beaufort County General Sessions Court. He is to serve life in prison for murder and 25 years for kidnapping. The sentences are to be served concurrently.
“Choices. We make thousands of choices every day; choices that map out our lives,” said Mary Jones of the 14th Circuit Solicitor's Office Career Criminal Unit, who proseTyrone Anthony cuted the case. “At the end of the day, the only reason Wallace Jr., the defendant is here is because of the choices he made on Oct. 25, 2015.” On the day Steve went missing, Steve and his friend planned to meet at Steve's home on Greene Street. However, Steve was not home when he arrived. Instead, Steve's friend was
met by Wallace and Varsheen “Twiz” Smith, a former federal convict who was briefly Steve’s roommate. The man was held at gunpoint, bound, and gagged with a chemical-soaked rag as Smith and Wallace demanded to know Steve’s whereabouts. The man was eventually released when a Beaufort Police vehicle, responding to another call for service, drove past the house. In February, Smith was prosecuted by Jones and convicted of kidnapping. He was sentenced to 25 years in prison. On Friday, Wallace also was convicted of the kidnapping. Jurors listened to more than 10 hours of recorded police interviews with Wallace. In the
Plans to bring the Spanish Moss Trail to downtown taking shape The Beaufort City Council heard conceptual plans to bring the Spanish Moss Trail to downtown Beaufort during last week’s work session. Spanish Moss Trail Executive Director Dean Moss has a clear vision for the trail and it now includes downtown Beaufort. Moss outlined the different options for bringing the trail from the Depot Road trail head to Bay Street. “We realize there are many hurdles to overcome,” Moss said, “but if the city wants to see this happen, we want to make it happen.” Moss outlined three distinct possibilities for bringing the trail from Depot Road, across Ribaut Road, and to the downtown core of Beaufort. Option 1 brings the trail right along Bay Street, on the southern edge of the street, navigating around magnificent live oak trees. This plan has intricacies that include hand rails where the trail
has to navigate out over the bluff and also includes removing many if not all of the parking currently on Bay Street between Hamar and Harrington streets. It is estimated that could cost the city 53 parking spots based on measurement. “Losing these parking spots is almost a non-starter for me” said councilwoman Nan Sutton. “I am constantly downtown, and I know how important our parking is.” Option 2 preserves the parking and, potentially, most of the view residents and visitors currently enjoy, by moving the trail to the bottom of the bluff off of Bay Street. “This may be the most intriguing route for the trail,” Councilman Stephen Murray said. “it is really a neat environment at the base of the bluff, and I think people would enjoy it down there.” Moss noted this option likely would cost the most to develop and could cre-
ate major challenges in grading to meet the Americans with Disabilities Act. Option 3 brings the trail across Ribaut Road at Bay Street. At some point it would move off of Bay Street and share the road with other east-west streets in the area through the use of “sharrows,” or painted chevrons on the road. “Some of those streets have very narrow rights of way and travel lanes already, such as near the Parish Church of St. Helena,” said Councilman Phil Cromer. “This might be very challenging.” The discussion will continue, and citizens are encouraged to engage City Council or to attend a regularly scheduled City Council meeting to provide comment. It is important to note that this connection will provide access in both directions, west to east, and east to west. Further information can be found by reaching out to the Spanish Moss Trail at www.spanishmosstrail.com.
City moves to first reading on proposed changes to Beaufort Code During the regular Beaufort City Council work session Tuesday night, council members and staff had an extensive discussion on about 65 items proposed for change in the Beaufort Code, the city’s zoning and development ordinance. “These proposals are a conglomerate of suggestions from contractors, developers, citizens, and city staff,” city planner/architect Lauren Kelly said. “We have reminded users since the implementation of this code that it is open to changes and adjustments as necessary. This is the culmination of almost nine months of feedback.”
Some highlights of the discussion included major subdivision reviews involving the relationship between the Metropolitan Planning Commission and city staff, setting standards for farmers markets, and additions to solidify uses allowed in response to a once-proposed arts overlay district. “We want to hear what our constituents want in our development code,” Mayor Pro Tempore Mike McFee said. “In fact, we want to hear what people outside our constituency think as well. We are cognizant that what happens in our municipal borders affect almost every citizen of northern Beaufort County.”
In the nearly 2 1⁄2 hour discussion, the staff, citizens, and councilors engaged in spirited discussions about development oversight, the needs of the community, the needs of business, and the way that development codes affect them. “It’s important to understand what zoning district a property is in” Planning Director Libby Anderson said. “We keep up-to-date zoning maps showing the transect zones and conventional zones on our city website under the planning department. By knowing your zoning district you can see how the code affects you and how the proposed changes would, or would not, affect you.” It is important to note that the proposed changes have been taken up and recommended by the MetroBank-issued, FDIC-insured politan Planning Commission and a public hearing APY* Minimum deposit was held on June 12 to hear comments on these recommended updates. The recAPY* Minimum deposit ommended code changes were set for a first reading APY* Minimum deposit at the regularly-scheduled City Council meeting on Tuesday, June 26.

videos, Wallace tells Beaufort Police investigators, “I heard someone coming in the house. ...I just started shooting.” Steve's charred shirt showed he was shot in the back multiple times. “He was discarded like a piece of garbage,” Jones said. Steve’s remains were found 23 days later. Jones is a member of the 14th Circuit Solicitor's Office Career Criminal Unit, a team that prosecutes the circuit's most violent and habitual offenders. The team has earned convictions against more than 300 defendants since its inception in 2008. Wallace's conviction is the 20th Career Criminal conviction Jones has secured.
NEWS BRIEFS Hopeful Horizons receives grant from Duke Endowment
Hopeful Horizons has received a $360,000 grant from The Duke Endowment to fund the expansion of the organization’s Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) program. Hopeful Horizons, a non-profit serving Beaufort, Jasper, Colleton, Hampton, and Allendale counties, provides numerous services including child forensic interviews, medical evaluation for abused children, victim advocacy, multi-disciplinary team case coordination, 24/7 emergency shelter for domestic violence victims, a 24/7 crisis hotline, 24/7 hospital accompaniment for rape victims, trauma therapy and counseling, support groups, legal assistance, prevention, and community education. In 2017, Hopeful Horizons served a total of 2,452 direct victims of abuse and their loved ones. The PCIT program is an evidence-based treatment for young children between the ages of 2 to 7 with behavioral and emotional disorders that places emphasis on improving the quality of the parent-child relationship and changing parent-child interaction patterns. The Duke Endowment grant will be used to expand Hopeful Horizons’ PCIT program by training additional therapists on implementing the treatment model and hiring an additional full-time therapist to expand capacity. This will help to address the overall lack of prevention and treatment services for families who are feeling overburdened due to their child’s behavioral problems.

the bottom. Looking at the rankings entering the World Cup, we saw that 2014 champion Germany remained ranked No. 1, followed by perennial contender Brazil. In fact, of the 32 teams qualifying for the 2018 World Cup (out of 211 total teams), 20 of them also competed in the 2014 World Cup. For those who read our articles often, this should sound familiar. Our Relative Strength process operates similarly, comparing different assets against each other and then ranking them from strongest to weakest such that the assets at the top of the matrix have developed trends of outperformance. We know that these trends tend to sustain themselves for extended durations of time and so we look to these leaders to remain competitive until proven otherwise. Staying on top of your game and sticking to your discipline is an investor’s key to longterm success — just as in competitive sports. **This article was written by Dorsey Wright and Associates, Inc., and provided to you by Charles Tumlin, Managing Director, TLS Wealth Management of Raymond James.

The 2018 FIFA World Cup kicked off in June with host country Russia facing off against Saudi Arabia. The World Cup is held every four years to crown a world soccer champion. Although it is growing in Charles Tumlin popularity, soccer viewership in the U.S. still lags that of other sports like American football and basketball. However, as Bloomberg reports, globally, soccer reigns supreme; FIFA estimates that more than 3.2 billion people worldwide watched the 2014 World Cup with more than one billion tuning in to watch the final between Argentina and Germany. Soccer’s massive popularity internationally has endowed it with unique cultural status in many countries. In some places, soccer is referred to as the "beautiful game,” and as the game has evolved, each country has developed its own playing style. For instance, the style of play in Brazil is called "ginga" which is a combination of fluid movements and rhythm, much like the Samba. If you watch the Brazilian team play, you'll see a game of quick dance-like moves, efficient passing, and flair. This is why they call the Brazilian game, "joga bonito" — translated from Portuguese to mean "play beautifully.” But, if you take the Italian team, they will play with staunch defense and not the first hint of the Samba, but will suddenly and aggressively implement a counter-attacking strategy that can catch their prey flat-footed. Although the two styles of play differ immensely, Brazil and Italy are two of the most successful in World Cup history – Brazil has won the World Cup five times, more than any other team, while Italy is tied with 2014 winner Germany for the second-most wins at four. Two very different approaches have been tremendously successful, proving there is indeed more than one "right answer" to the question of how to win a World Cup. The key in soccer, as in investing, is employing a sound strategy and executing it well. There is no one single investment approach that is right for the temperament of all investors, but a great many that can work well if applied correctly. Relative Strength-based investing is our chosen "style of play.” Just as powerhouses like Brazil and Italy can’t expect to win every World Cup tournament, we don’t expect our style of play to win every time, but we can be confident that it will keep us in the game time and time again. The Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) puts together the FIFA/ Coca-Cola World Rankings to objectively rank the best national soccer teams. By looking at past performance, they rank the national teams from strongest to weakest, with the expectation that the teams at the top are likely to continue to perform better than the teams at

The Telephone Game Now what?
HIGHLIGHTING DAILY LIFE OBSERVATIONS
Lee Scott, a writer and recent retiree, shares her everyday observations about life after career. A former commercial banker responsible for helping her clients to reach their business objectives, Scott now translates those analytical skills to her writings. She recently moved to St. Helena Island with her husband and two cocker spaniels. She enjoys boating, traveling and reading.
...social media has taken the telephone game to a whole new level. My spouse accuses me of fact-checking everything. I am always worried I am hearing the 10th person’s remarks.
As children, many of us played the “telephone game.” If you never played it, the rules are simple. You line up 10 (or more) children in a row. The first child is given words to whisper in the second child’s ear. That child in turn whispers what has been said to the next child. When the last child receives the phrase, it is their job to get up and announce what was originally said — or that is what they think will happen. What usually takes place is that as the phrase is repeated and repeated, it morphs into something very different. An example might be: “Leaves like loose piles” becomes “Let’s make mud pies”. We thought it was all fun and games when we were young, until the teacher would inform us that it was really a lesson in communication. I do not think we understood the significance of the lesson at the time. It was just fun. A friend of mine said she and her friends would play the Telephone Game as a drinking game in college. They would come up with longer more difficult phrases and the final person who was required to repeat the phrase would be laughing too hard to say it. The phrase, by that time, was unrecognizable and nothing like the original version. Years have gone by and I have started to think about this game as I hear stories repeated and repeated through conversation until the original incident is nothing like what really happened. Initial phrases and thoughts get twisted and misinterpreted until the final phrase sounds like the last drunken players’ interpretation. I do recall this game being played in an office setting too, except it was played around the water cooler.
Now, social media has taken the telephone game to a whole new level. My spouse accuses me of fact-checking everything. I am always worried I am hearing the 10th person’s remarks. I ask him, “Where did you hear that one?” or “Who said that?” The other day I asked, “If you were playing the telephone game, where would you be in the lineup?” The earlier players have a better grasp than the players at the end of the game. It is not their fault. It is just how the game is played. And it is surprising how often we all, unintentionally, participate. If you have not played the game lately, you might like to try it. Grab some of your relatives or friends and put them in a circle. Make sure you have a few kids in the mix too. It is lots of fun to play and a good lesson to all about communication.
If you don’t know it by now, it’s time you learned — wineries and winemakers come with lots of family connections. It explains why we keep hearing that this wine is made by the fifth generation or the current owners are the great-grandchildren of the founder, etc. Knowing that whoever is making our wine comes from a family in the industry helps us to expect great things from them and appreciate their wines. Sadly, don’t some of us lament, “If my father owned a winery, just think what I could be doing”? Our wine this week is a Sauvignon Blanc from Napa Valley. Sauvignon Blanc is a green grape that originated in Bordeaux. Its name is probably related “sauvage” — the French word for “wild.” This variety is planted in almost all the world’s wine regions, and even though it can make dessert wines and sparkling wines, it is known for its crisp, dry, refreshing still white wines. Like most other varieties, the flavors and textures of Sauvignon Blanc can vary depending on the “terroir” where it is grown. Its vines can often bud late, but the grapes ripen early. It can do well in sunny climates, as long as it’s not exposed to excessive heat. Too much heat results in wines that have dull flavors and flat acidity, which means no crisp and no refreshing. In cooler climates, Sauvignon Blanc flourishes. Winemaking decisions can also make or break a good Sauvignon Blanc — how long the must sits with the grapes skins (longer exposure between the two leads to more intensity and pungency), and fermentation temperature matters (warmer temps result in more minerality, while cooler temps enhance fruitiness). In Napa Valley, there are two basic styles of Sauvignon Blanc wines. New Zealand influenced varieties have more tropical fruit notes with passion fruit and citrus, and the Robert Mondavi influenced style features rounder textures and melon notes. Our Sauvignon Blanc is Emmolo, owned and made by Jenny Wagner, which brings us to her family. Her father is Chuck Wagner,
well-known to many of us for his Caymus label. Jenny’s mother was Cheryl Emmolo, Chuck’s wife at one point. Cheryl’s grandparents came to Napa, the town of Rutherford, and founded Emmolo in 1923. Celia Strong For many years, Emmolo was a rootstock supplier to many Napa wineries, Caymus included. Cheryl launched the Emmolo label in 1994. Frank and Annie Emmolo, Cheryl’s parents and Jenny’s grandparents, still live in Rutherford. Several years ago, with her first vintage, Jenny asked her father for some advice on when she should harvest her grapes. His answer? “Good luck with that.” Maybe not an easy answer, but it forced her to learn for herself. Yay, family! Jenny’s goal with her Sauvignon Blanc is to make a wine that makes the most of the climate, soil and growing conditions of Napa, then craft a distinct style of wine from this variety. She feels less is more. So not overly ripe, not grassy, but a range of delicate fruit flavors from citrus to melon, a bright minerality, crispness and multiple dimensions. The whole style and character of Emmolo starts in the vineyard. Most of its grapes are sourced from two family-owned vineyards located in two different micro-climates. Grapes from their Rutherford vineyard give the wine fresh citrus and the Oak Knoll vineyard brings crisp minerality. Harvest is late-to-mid August, earlier than most Napa wineries. Fermentation is done in stainless steel tanks. Most of the wine is aged in stainless steel also, with a small amount aged in older French barrels for added depth and complexities. The finished wine is a light straw color with scents of melon and lavender with layers of peaches and other stone fruits. It starts off lightly in your mouth, but builds on itself. The lingering finish has hints of flint. A new wine for your family for $19.99. Enjoy. Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island.

Truth Matters
Vanilla or Chocolate? Subjective Truths and Objective Truths
We all like different flavors of ice cream. You say that you prefer vanilla, while your friend says that he prefers chocolate. These kinds of statements are subjective statements, meaning they claim something about a particular person. Subjective statements depend on the person. A subjective claim can be true for one person and false for another. The statement, “vanilla is the most delicious flavor of ice cream,” would be true for you as a vanilla fan and false for your chocolateloving friend. Subjective statements can’t apply to everyone, since they refer to our particular opinions, feelings, and experiences. But there are facts we can all know about ice cream. Your friend says of a particular scoop of ice cream, “This ice cream is green. It weighs 70 grams. It contains 7 grams of fat.” These are objective statements. They describe characteristics of the ice cream itself, unrelated to our individual tastes or preferences.
Objective statements are either true or false. If your friend is speaking about the top scoop of ice cream in the photo, then he is incorrect. The ice cream is not green; it is actually more of a brown color. Since objective statements describe an object outside of ourselves, then these statements are either true or false. Their truth has nothing to do with our opinions, feelings, or experiences. If something is objectively true, then it is true for everyone. As another example, imagine office workers in a conference room. One says, “I’m cold!”, while another declares, “I’m too hot!” They can both be right; these are subjective statements. But if one says that it is 65 degrees in the room, and another declares that it is 70 degrees, then they can’t both be right. The temperature is an objective reality; it is a reality outside of ourselves. Issues of faith are objective statements. When Christians say, “Jesus of Nazareth rose from the dead,” we are not making a subjective claim but an objective claim. It is not a claim like “I’m cold,” but rather a claim like “it is 70 degrees.” Either Jesus rose from the dead, or he did not. If this is true, it is true for everyone. If this is false, it is false for everyone. Relativism makes all moral and religious claims to be merely subjective. As we described in our previous message, our culture teaches us to consider moral and religious truth to be relative to each person. In other words, these are just subjective claims, matters of personal preference which change from person to person. In our next message, we will explore some of the problems with this approach.

FIRST FRIDAY
Monthly downtown event goes red, white, and blue for July
July’s First Friday event, hosted by The Downtown Beaufort Merchants Association, will be a family-focused evening of good old-fashioned fun. The theme for the July 6 event is “Made in America,” so businesses along Bay Street and the downtown business core will be decked out in red, white, and blue and Lady Liberty and Uncle Sam will be on hand for patriotic photo
opportunities. Some merchants will be open later than usual, as the event runs from 5 to 8 p.m. Strolling musicians will fill the streets with favorite melodies as boy scouts and girl scouts pass out American flags to those who come out. At the clock tower on Bay Street, a writing booth will be set up for anyone to write a card or letter of thanks to those serving in the military, veterans, or first responders. “This and every First Friday of the month is a perfect reason to visit downtown to have a great
meal, check out unique shops, galleries, and specialty stores while enjoying free entertainment and activities,” said Eric Thibault, president of the Downtown Beaufort Merchants Association. Participating businesses will feature promotions, demonstrations, and specials throughout the evening. This and all First Friday events are free and open to the public. For information, contact the Downtown Beaufort Merchants Association at dbmerchantsassociation@gmail.com.

Dataw Island honored by ideal-LIVING magazine Dataw Island was named one of the “Best Wellness Environments” by ideal-LIVING magazine in its third annual “Best of the Best” issue, which features the Top 100 Planned Communities. “The ‘Best of the Best‘ feature honors those areas and communities which deserve special recognition for their outstanding qualities, facilities, and programs,” said ideal-LIVING’s Editor and Associate Publisher Kelly Godbey. “We hope that this special feature in our Summer 2018 edition will serve our readers by focusing on the places that offer the lifestyle enhancements that are the most important to them.” On its website, ideal-LIVING published the following explanation of why Dataw Island was recognized for the “Best Wellness Environment” designation: Health & wellness is more than a passing fad at Dataw Island. While many members do enjoy the fitness center (complete with licensed trainers and physical therapists – convenient for those sports injuries), the ever-popular yoga classes (for both men and women), water aerobics, and many sports offerings (golf, tennis, croquet, bocce), Dataw [residents] consider the broader interpretation of health and wellness to include a life balanced with social activities and volunteer work. The com-
munity of 870 homes is host to about 35 clubs, and members volunteer [with] well over 200 local organizations. An active body, mind, and social calendar is key to health and happiness at Dataw Island. Hundreds of nominations from across the country were submitted to ideal-LIVING earlier this year. A special editorial committee assembled by the publication reviewed the qualifications of each nominee and selected the winners in nine categories. “Members of the Dataw Island Club are a very active group,” says Dataw Island Community Center Director Kevin Ennis. “They take part in many physical activities from kayaking to hiking the Appalachian Trail. To complement their social life-
style, many members participate in group fitness activities as well as individual workout programs to keep an active body and a sharp mind.” Tallying an average of more than 56,000 encounters annually (about half of which are fitness visits), it is clear that the Dataw Island Community Center is an important part of members’ health and wellness, along with being an integral part of the island’s social fabric. Director of Tennis Warren Florence says he finds that having fun is as important as being active. “At Dataw, tennis is as much about enjoying being active and social as it is about the game itself,” Florence said. “While we do have many USTA teams, we also welcome players of all lev-
els who just want to enjoy being outside and being active.” Offering golf, tennis, croquet, and bocce clinics and programs to accommodate the array of skill levels allows members many opportunities for organized sports participation. Those called by the water enjoy a robust kayaking group and indoor and outdoor pools, while others take to the island’s miles of walking and cycling paths. While Dataw can’t claim to have found the elusive Fountain of Youth, Ennis doesn’t discount the notion that living at Dataw might add years to one’s life — or life to one’s years. “A healthy, active lifestyle is paramount to feeling younger for longer, allowing members to fully enjoy their golden years,” Ennis said.
Verdier House Museum named a Blue Star Museum The Verdier House Museum at 801 Bay Street has been named a Blue Star Museum and is one of more than 2,000 museums across the country offering free admission to active-duty military families through Labor Day. The free admission program is available for those currently serving in the United States military — Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard — as well as reservists, National Guardsman (regardless of status), U.S. Public Health Commissioned Corps, NOAA Commissioned Corps, and up to five family members. In cooperation with the National Endowment for the Arts, Blue Star Families and the Department of Defense, the Verdier House is open free of charge from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Admission is normally $10 per person. The summer policy expands the year-round policy of offering free admission to active duty military service members but not their families, according to director Jacque Wedler. Blue Star status also makes free admission available to spouses and children. “Visiting a museum is a great way to get to know a community — whether it’s in your hometown or a stop on a road trip,” said NEA Chairman Jane Chu. “We appreciate the enthusiasm of museums all across the country who open their doors for military and their families to spend time together and have new arts experiences.” The 2018 participating Blue Star Museums represent not just fine arts museums, but also science museums, history museums, zoos, nature centers, and children’s museums. Military families can access a list of the other participating museums by going online to arts.gov/bluestarmuseums. Qualified members must show a Geneva Convention common access card (CAC), DD Form 1173 ID card (dependent ID), or a DD Form 1173-1 ID card for entrance into a participating Blue Star Museum.
United Way of the Lowcountry puts students to work
Nearly 300 students from across the country came to the Lowcountry last week to lend their times and talents toward making life better for the elderly and disabled and families in need throughout Beaufort and Jasper counties. The students visited the area as part of United Way of the Lowcountry’s 19th Annual Catholic HEART (Helping Everyone Attain Repairs Today) Work Camp. They arrived on Sunday, June 17, and spent the next four days working before enjoying a “free day” to explore the Lowcountry, including beach visits, touring, and other activities. During the Catholic HEART Work
Camp program, the students, along with 100-plus adult leaders and several local volunteers, worked together on at least 45 projects throughout the community. Work ranged from yard work and minor repairs to installing handicap ramps. In addition to working on residential homes, some of the groups worked on projects with agencies throughout the community. Student volunteers came from all over the country and were housed at the Hardeeville School Complex. The volunteers worked from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day and attended spiritual programs in the evenings. "These young people make a big impact in
just a few short days by doing simple home repairs including painting, yard work, cleaning, repairing screens, and anything else that is difficult for an elderly or handicapped person to accomplish,” said Bethany Marcinkowski, United Way of the Lowcountry's Vice President of Education Impact. “There is a big need for these types of services in our community, and we're excited to have this wonderful group of students in the Lowcountry, helping to meet the needs of our neighbors.” Each group had an adult leader and was assigned to projects throughout Beaufort and Jasper counties. Several local volunteers
with skill and building experience handled the larger, more complicated repair jobs at the various sites. Hilton Head Glidden donated all the paint, as they have every year since the first group of campers arrived in 1999. "This program's mission is to revitalize communities and beautify homes of the elderly, the disabled, and those who cannot afford needed repairs," said Marcinkowski. "This falls right in line with United Way of the Lowcountry's Community Impact agenda, which includes working to meet the basic needs of our neighbors by transforming substandard homes into safe living conditions."
BAA Summer Art Fair featured at local gallery Area artists will be featured at the Beaufort Art Association (BAA) Gallery starting July 1 and running through September 2. The theme of the exhibit will be “BAA Summer Art Fair,” highlighting the techniques of area jewelers, potters, painters, felt artists, and photographers. Featured artists are Jim and Linda Saylor, Daniel McSweeney, Sandra Atkins, Bill Bogle, and Marian Sanders. An opening reception, which is open to the public, will be held at the gallery at 913 Bay Street on Friday, July 6, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Light refreshments will be served, and the work of 65 other local artists who are members of the gallery will be on display. Jim and Linda Saylor own The Silver Garden Gallery on Hilton Head, where they have their studio, showroom, and an art gallery. Jim retired and became a silversmith after his wife began designing and creating jewelry. Working with simple hand tools, they create one-of-a-kind pieces in sterling, gold, and, most recently, exotic woods.

Linda says her love of painting resurfaced in recent years, and she now spends half of her time painting, where nature and color inspire her abstract artwork. Both are members of the BAA, and the Art League of Hilton Head. After graduating from high school in Columbia, Daniel McSweeney went to Kansas City Art Institute to formalize his pottery skills. He returned to South Carolina to make pottery and clay sculpture his own way, mixing his own clay and glazes, and even digging clay from local riverbeds for some of his work. He uses porcelain and stoneware clay bodies, and his reduction process allows for richer glazes and variations in the same glaze. He has exhibited his work in the Midwest and throughout the Southeast. Also a talented pottery instructor, he works with children and adult students. His studio is in downtown Beaufort, where he holds classes and continues to share his love of clay with his students. He is a member of BAA.
Sandra Atkins is a fiber artist specializing in needle felting, which is a process using barbed needles to interlock wool fibers so they adhere to one another and create a denser material called felt. She uses all-natural dyed and un-dyed fibers, including wool, llama, alpaca and silk, to make three-dimensional objects and pictures. In effect, she “paints” with wool by blending different fibers and colors, then creates her art using only barbed needles. Atkins has been actively felting for the past several years since her retirement. She is a member of the BAA and the Fiber Artists of Beaufort. Bill Bogle is a photographer specializing in landscapes. Formerly from Poughkeepsie, N.Y, he moved to Okatie in 2017. His work has been featured in solo, group and juried shows at local and regional galleries. In his photographs, Bogle says he looks for the sense of the place and concentrates on the detail. He does fine art printing on large format Epson printers with archival pig-
ment inks and papers. Besides printing, matting and framing his photographs, he also offers a yearly desk calendar. He is a member of BAA, the Society of Bluffton Artists (SOBA), and the Art League of Hilton Head. After retiring from teaching, Marian Sanders returned to oil painting, which she says was the love of her youth. She has taken classes and workshops over the past 10 years to hone her skills, and, for the past two years, she was enrolled in the Art Master’s program of Daniel Edmondson, who trained under Richard Schmid. Marian paints Alla Prima in her studio and en plein air outside. She is a member of the BAA and SOBA. Chartered in 1957, the Beaufort Art Association is a tax-exempt membership organization. Currently, there are about 175 local artists who are members, 65 of whom exhibit in the gallery. To find out more, call 843-521-4444 or visit the website at www.beaufortartassociation.com.

SPORTS Former BHS star football player signs with Falcons By Justin Jarrett
Former Beaufort High School star Ron Parker has a new home – and it’s a lot closer to his hometown. The 30-year-old defensive back signed a one-year deal with the Atlanta Falcons, the team announced Monday. Parker was largely overlooked by college coaches coming out of Beaufort High but went on to have a standout career at NCAA Division II Newberry before being signing to Oakland’s practice squad in 2011. He bounced around Ron Parker among Oakland, Seattle, and Carolina for two years, appearing in five games in both the 2011 and 2012 seasons before breaking out with Kansas City in 2013. After playing in all 16 games as a key reserve for the Chiefs in 2013, Parker earned a starting role the next season and signed a five-year, $25 million contract — including an $8 million guarantee — prior to the 2015 season. Parker started all 48 games over the past three seasons but was a salary-cap casualty this offseason when the Chiefs released him to free up nearly $5 million in cap space. In five seasons with the Chiefs, Parker recorded 318 tackles, 43 pass defenses, nine interceptions, seven sacks, five forced fumbles and five fumble recoveries. Parker joins a crowded secondary in Atlanta, as the Falcons return their top five defensive backs and also added free agent Justin Bethel and second-round pick Isaiah Oliver this offseason. “What drew me here is that I’ve seen it’s a great fit,” Parker told the Falcons’ official website. “They’ve got a great team – got great guys, all around: Special teams, defense, offense. I just think the organization fits my style. I’ve got some relationships with the coaches in here – Dan Quinn and Marquand [Manuel]. I saw them early in my career when I was in Seattle, so we have good background history just from knowing each other. I think this is a good organization for me to be with. Couple of steps off from winning the Super Bowl a couple of years ago, and I think we’re that close to getting it this year.” Parker is scheduled to hold a free non-contact football camp for ages 8-18 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, July 14, at Beaufort High School.

Beaufort’s Bruns finishes 2nd in SCGA Junior The local contingent made a strong showing at the 60th S.C. Golf Association Junior Championship presented by the Heritage Classic Foundation last week at Dataw Island Club. Beaufort’s Jerry Bruns finished second in the 13-14 age group and Hilton Head Island’s Daniel Azallion won the overall title in the prestigious junior event. Bruns, 13, shot 8-over-par for 54 holes, finishing six shots behind Greenville’s Walker Jennings. It was a “home game” for Bruns, who is the son of Dataw Island tennis concierge Sara Bruns and Mike Bruns. He is also the grandson of Dataw golf starter Jerry Heinz, a former teaching pro at South Bend (Ind.) Country Club. His sister, Lucy, also works at Dataw as a pool attendant. Azallion led by three shots following an
opening 7-under 65 on Monday, June 11, but a 75 on Tuesday left him three shots back entering the final round. He regained his first-round form Wednesday, making five birdies and one bogey on Dataw Island’s Cotton Dike Course to overtake 36-hole leader Trey Crenshaw of Lancaster and finish at 8-under for the tournament, two shots clear of Greenville’s
Connor Fahey. “It’s a huge deal when you go back and see who has won this event in the past,” Azallion told the SCGA. “To know the time I have put in, it’s a big accomplishment.” Past champions include one-time FedEx Cup champion Bill Haas and 2009 U.S. Open champion Lucas Glover, among other notable golfers. The win earns Azallion, a Hilton Head Christian Academy standout who has committed to play at Virginia Tech, an invitation into the Sage Valley Junior Invitational, as well as a spot in the Georgia-South Carolina Team Matches, qualifying status for the Bobby Chapman Junior Invitational, and exemptions into The Blade Junior Classic, Beth Daniel Junior Azalea, and The Players Amateur.

BCSD student-athletes perform well in classroom Nearly all Beaufort County School District student-athletes met the district’s academic participation requirements during the 2017-18 academic year. The district said 97 percent of Beaufort County’s high school and middle school student-athletes maintained their academic eligibility by meeting the district’s minimum 2.0 GPA participation requirement. Beaufort County is one of only two South Carolina districts that require a 2.0 minimum (a C average) to participate on athletics teams. The South Carolina High School League’s statewide minimum GPA requirement is 1.0. B4
JUNE 28 - JULY 4, 2018
After a series of community forums in 2011, the Board of Education approved the 2.0 GPA requirement for athletes. Only one other South Carolina district (Richland District 1 in Columbia) has a similar requirement. Of 2,778 high school athletes in the district, 2,708 met the academic requirement during the first two academic quarters and 70 did not. Of 1,569 middle school athletes, 1,516 met the requirement and 53 did not. “Seven years ago, our Board of Education challenged our student-athletes to compete in the classroom as well as in their chosen sports,” Superintendent Jeff Moss said. “And
every year since that time, our students have risen to that challenge and performed very well. We’re very proud of them.” The overall district-wide GPA for high school student-athletes for the 2017-18 academic year was 3.86. The overall district-wide GPA for middle school student-athletes for the 2017-18 academic year was 3.59. High school cross country, swimming, tennis, volleyball, girls lacrosse, girls soccer, and girls track all maintained district-wide GPAs higher than 4.0. Middle school volleyball teams maintained a GPA higher than 4.0.
More than 60 students graduating with the Class of 2018 signed college athletic scholarships. Chief Auxiliary Services Officer Gregory McCord said that the district’s middle and high schools have after-school tutorial programs to assist students who are in danger of falling below the 2.0 requirement. Interim reports, report card grades, teacher/sponsor recommendations, and coaching staff requirements are used to identify students required to attend after-school programs. McCord said that schools pay special attention to communicating the rules to student-athletes and their parents.

Children are invited to Tuesday Turtle Talks
Every Tuesday in July, boys and girls and “children of all ages” are invited to Hunting Island State Park to learn all you ever wanted to know about sea turtles. The Friends of Hunting Island will be at the picnic pavilion near the lighthouse at 10:30 a.m. every Tuesday morning to talk about these wonderful creatures and answer all your questions. You’ll learn why and when the mother turtles return to Hunting Island, how they dig their nests and lay their eggs, what happens when the eggs hatch, and what challenges the baby turtles have on their way to the ocean. After the free talks there will be a free optional beach walk to see some nests and how they are kept safe. Sea turtles are so important to South Carolina beaches, and learning about them is a first step in making sure they continue to be protected and keep coming back to Hunting Island and to other coastal habitats. Park admission entry fees apply. For more information, go to the Friends of Hunting Island website or to the Facebook page: FOHI Sea Turtle Conservation Project.

Food Truck Festival returning to Town Center
The Lowcountry Jaycees will host the second annual Beaufort Food Truck Festival to raise money for Camp Hope on October 13 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Beaufort Town Center. If you enjoyed last year’s festival this year is sure to please. After surveying a large population of attendees the Jaycees have made some exciting changes this year. The new event location is easily visible from Boundary St. and provides quicker access with plenty of parking. Additionally, food truck vendors will be serving samples of their menus with prices that are more manageable for those hoping to taste treats from more than one or two trucks. With more space for additional food trucks the Jaycees hope to keep the long lines to a minimum. Given the popularity of the interactive Kid Zone last year, the Jaycees have another exciting game area planned. Participants can also expect to hear some great music from local musicians and DJs. The Food Truck Festival is organized to raise money for Camp Hope, a summer camp held in Pendleton, S.C., for ages 7 and up with cognitive disabilities. The South Carolina Jaycees strive to raise money each year to assist in running the camp. If you or someone you know is interested in participating in the festival as a food truck vendor, craft/artisan vendor, volunteer or sponsor please send email to beaufortfoodtruckfestival@gmail.com.
