Neighbors weigh in on Sea Island corridor growth Staff reports
More than 300 people turned out at Lady’s Island Elementary School on Feb. 23 to discuss planning and development along the Sea Island Parkway. The Sea Island Corridor Coalition, in concert with the South Carolina Coastal Conservation League, helped organize the meeting, which was called “Designing a Future for Lady’s Island.” More such meetings are planned for the future. Those attending the meeting expressed concerns about traffic, commercial development and annexation issues. They used crayons and maps to draft ideas for future development and make recommendations to local leadership. The Sea Island Corridor Coalition was formed in early 2016 after a community outcry on the clear-cutting of Oyster Bluff. The coalition now helps residents of Lady’s Island and St. Helena monitor the planning and development along the corridor. The Sea Island Corridor Coalition is primarily concerned with the “lands and waters” east of Beaufort including Lady’s Island, St. Helena Island, Harbor Island and Fripp Island. According to the group, “The city has already annexed or is in the process of annexing much of commercial property within their growth boundary, most of it along the spine of the Sea Island Corridor. “Annexation benefits the commercial property owner by expanding public services, and benefits the city by expanding revenues from fees and taxes. Local residents, however, often fail to share in benefits, and are confronted with higher traffic levels and increased commercial density, which detract from neighborhood livability.”
Club fights for its life By Sally Mahan
Victor Dover, of Dover, Kohl & Partners from Coral Cables, Fla., uses media headlines to make one of his many points during a heavily attended public forum Feb. 23 at Lady’s Island Elementary School.
A popular nightspot that has been a fixture in downtown Beaufort for more than 25 years may go by the wayside if a local lawyer gets his way. John North, an attorney who owns the former Regions Bank building, filed a complaint in December with the Department of Revenue Alcohol Beverage Licensing against its neighbor, Hemingway’s Bistro on Bay Street. The complaint claims that the bar is “detrimental to nearby residents” in the area, which is zoned for both residential and commercial. He also listed a variety of other complaints, including alleged open-container violations and other violations. The complaint means that Hemingway’s has not been able to renew its liquor license and is operating with a temporary license until a hearing is held. A date has not been set for a hearing. According to Foster, North’s motive is to create apartments in the Regions Bank building, “but he says he can’t do that because of the noise in adjacent businesses, so he’s doing his best to get businesses to

SPOTTED…
Local officials say proposals in the state legislature could cost Beaufort an estimated $1.1 million in annual business license revenue if passed, and they would have no choice but to raise property taxes, business license rates or create other fees to make up for the lost revenue. The proposals would provide statewide uniform filing dates, business license applications, a definition of adjusted gross income, a uniform appeals process and a standard class schedule consisting of seven classifications across the state so that a business will be in the same class regardless of where they do business. “As it stands now, business license laws and ordinances vary significantly across the state, and create considerable confusion and administrative costs for businesses,” wrote SC Rep. Shannon Erickson, R-Beaufort. “For example, there are different rate class-
es, different rates charged, different filing dates, different forms, different definitions of revenue and different applications across more than 250 municipalities. This does not send a ‘South Carolina is Business Friendly’ message.” However, Beaufort City Manager Bill Prokop stressed that while Beaufort favors standardization of business license requirements, the city already has taken steps to standardize the business license process and to make it more business-friendly, he said. For instance: • Last fall, the city’s finance department rolled out an online payment system accessible to all business owners, allowing them to renew business licenses online and pay their bills. • Several years ago, the city accepted and began using the business license application developed by the Municipal Association of South Carolina.

• The city adopted the North American Industry Classification System for classifying business categories for licensing. “We have worked hard, and we have worked for quite a while, to standardize our business license program based on recommendations from the Municipal Association of South Carolina,” Prokop said. “We have put forth a lot of effort to put business license renewals, hospitality and accommodations tax payments online to make it easier for businesses to do business with the city,” he said. “While we have been doing that, it seems the state has been looking for ways to restrict municipalities in terms of our revenue for daily operations.” House Bill 3650 would change the method and collection of business license fees. The bill would prohibit municipalities from See LICENSE, page A7

POLICE BLOTTER Jasper County man sentenced to 45 years
A Jasper County man who shot and killed another man outside a Hardeeville apartment complex has been sentenced to 45 years in prison. A jury found Naijuwaun Chisolm, 22, guilty of murder in the June 9, 2015, shooting death of 23-yearold Sterling Dreyfus Jenkins. The jury deliberated for Naijuwaun one hour on Feb. 23 follow- Chisolm ing a two-day trial at the Jasper County Courthouse. Chisolm was also convicted of possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime. On June 9, 2015, officers arrived to the Walsh Drive apartments to find Jenkins lying on the ground with multiple gunshot wounds. “It was a daytime execution. The defendant waited until the victim was outside by himself and shot him in the head,” said Jasper County career criminal prosecutor Assistant Solicitor Mary Jones. “It was a brazen act with no regard to the lives of anyone, including the multiple children who were in a nearby apartment.” Circuit Court Judge Perry Buckner handed down the consecutive sentences. Chisolm was sentenced to 40 years for murder and five years on the weapons charge.
Yard debris fire spreads to structure
The Burton Fire District was recently dispatched to a yard debris fire that had grown out of control and had spread to a nearby structure on Detour Road. Burton firefighters responded to the reported out-of-control yard debris fire just after 4:30 p.m. Feb. 25. Fire crews arrived to find a large pile, consisting of pieces from a whole tree, burning out of control with smoke coming from a nearby mobile home. Firefighters found small amounts of fire in the walls of the mobile home, which was vacant and being used as storage. The fire was A2

quickly extinguished. No injuries were reported and damages are unavailable. Burton fire officials warn residents of how quickly fires can get out of control and how quickly heat from large fires can radiate to nearby structures or burning embers can fall on rooftops. Residents are strongly urged to check with their local fire department on the burning regulations affecting their property; however yard debris burn piles are generally limited to 3 feet in diameter and 2 feet high with a constant water source available and ready.
Police search for victims in single-vehicle accident
The Burton Fire District responded to a single-vehicle accident on Josephine Drive, causing concern for arriving fire crews. Burton firefighters were dispatched to the accident just after 1130 a.m. Feb. 22. Fire crews arrived on the scene to find a heavily damaged Honda Accord on its roof in a ditch with no occupants nearby. Concerned that occupants were trapped inside or underneath the vehicle, firefighters crawled into the vehicle and used rescue tools to lift the vehicle to check underneath. Firefighters also searched the immediate area and tree line; however, despite indications people were injured, no occupants were located. The scene was turned over to the Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office. The Burton Fire District has responded to over 46 motor vehicle accidents so far in 2017.
Sheriff ’s office asks for help in solving crime
On Feb. 2, 2002, Sean Sandlin and Robert Walsh, both 30 years old, were found shot to death in a storage unit located at Taylor’s Warehouse in Bluffton. Through the investigation, it was apparent that an unknown suspect(s) surprised the two while they were working in their storage unit, shooting them with a high-powered long gun.
It was believed the overhead door to the storage unit was open when the suspects approached and then shut after the shooting. Gunshots were heard by witnesses in the surround- Robert Walsh ing neighborhood, who reported seeing what appeared to be a Ford King Rancher pickup truck speeding out of the Taylor Warehouse parking lot around the time it is believed Walsh and Sandlin were murdered. The information provided by the various witnesses did not lead to the identification of a suspect or suspects. A search of the storage unit where they were found (which was rented by Walsh), revealed property stolen from construction sites from as far away as Charleston. It was also discovered that Walsh rented another storage unit at Taylor’s Warehouse and when searched, revealed additional property stolen from construction sites. It is believed that both Walsh and Sandlin were traveling outside Beaufort County and were stealing from home sites under construction, then selling the tools and other stolen items on the black market. In addition, Walsh had been arrested and charged with extortion several months prior to the murders. These discoveries created a difficult task of narrowing a suspect list, as both were highrisk victims engaged in inherently dangerous criminal activities. A reward of up to $2,500 is offered for information leading to an arrest in any Beaufort County cold case. During some criminal investigations, investigators might exhaust all credible leads in a case. When this happens, the case can become stagnant or what is typically known as “cold.” The Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office is making these cold case files accessible to the public in hopes that someone might come forward with information that may not have yet been uncovered. No matter how insignificant it may seem, any information offered in reference to a cold case could prove to be the missing link needed to solve the case. Anyone with any information can contact Capt. Bob Bromage at 843-255- 3402, 843816-8013 or at robertb@bcgov.net. To remain anonymous and to collect a possible reward, call CrimeStoppers at 1-888-CrimeSC.

Business leaders tell reps roads need to be fixed Leaders representing statewide businesses and industries have announced their support for H.3516 – the House Road Funding Bill. Additionally, the South Carolina Roads Coalition announced that it was sending a letter to legislators commending the House for moving forward with a road plan and urging House members to vote yes on H.3516.
Rick Todd, president and CEO of the South Carolina Trucking Association, speaking on behalf of the South Carolina Roads Coalition, said, “We’ve come together today with hope, belief and optimism that 2017 might finally be the year that we secure significant, recurring and dedicated funds to fix and improve South Carolina’s
highway infrastructure.” Todd continued, “This is an issue that impacts the quality of life, safety and enhanced economic prosperity for all South Carolinians.” Pete Selleck, president of Michelin North America, speaking on behalf of the SC Chamber of Commerce, said that 2017 is the year the General Assembly must finish
the job on infrastructure. “We’ve seen the situation only get worse, and we really do believe at this point we’re at the end of the road,” said Selleck. “If we do not come up with a solid plan this year that is sufficient and sustainable over the long term, we believe that going forward it’s going to do significant damage to this state.”
What are the tax implications of stock trades? As the old saying by Benjamin Franklin goes, “In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” At the least, equity investors should be aware of some of the tax rules and how they pertain to your investments. The concept is simple. When you trade stocks and have a gain you are vulnerable
to capital gains tax. The key is to understand how those capital gains are treated in regards to the types of accounts that are available. Generally speaking, you can break them down into two basic categories: those stock trades within a tax-deferred account and those in a regular brokerage account.
GROUP FITNESS, BARRE, AND KICKBOXING
Tax deferred accounts like Individual Retirement (IRAs), Simplified Employment Pension (SEPs) and Self-Directed Rollover IRAs, to name a few, allow you to defer paying the capital gains tax until you make withdrawals. The advantage is when you start withdrawing you are taxed at the rate of your income tax bracket which typically is lower since you are retired and no longer working. This enables the total principle and the gains to compound and grow in the account over time. The power of compounding has been best summed up by Albert Einstein, who said, “Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it … he who doesn’t … pays it.” Also, with these you don’t have to be concerned with the usual tax implications when making stock trades provided you keep the funds inside the account. Regular brokerage accounts are offered by many firms today like Vanguard, Scottrade and many others allow you to trade various types of investment vehicles including common shares of stock. These accounts are subject to shortterm and long-term capital gains taxes when a capital gain is realized. Be sure you understand the impact on your trades in this situation. In general the difference between the short-term and long-term tax rate can be about 13 percent or more depending on specifies. Thus when you think of the long-term effects of compounding on reduced income taxes incurred today, you begin to see the advantage of holding your stock positions for over a year and longer. For us at Port Wren Capital, as value investment researchers, we always look towards
the long-term horizon. It offers investors many advantages not only in taxes and compounding, but in creating value. Effectively, the strategy of value investments Michael Osteen are buying a company that is selling below its intrinsic value today and waiting for Mr. Market to recognize its true value and knowing that value in created in the longterm and not in the short-term. As described by Morgan Housel, a former columnist at The Motley Fool and The Wall Street Journal, “… value is ultimately created in the long run. "That’s where scale takes off and compounding works its magic – over years and decades, not months and weeks. The key is recognizing that the long run is just a collection of short runs, and capturing long-term growth means managing the short run effectively enough to ensure you can stick around for the long time.” Based on my experience, typically, and naturally there are numerous variables involved, expect a minimum of about two years before Mr. Market starts to discover an undervalued company. Be sure to speak with your tax advisor who is the experts on taxes, before this year’s filing deadline of April 18. To find out more about setting up brokerage trading accounts and value investing research, just email me.

If you’ve already broken your New Year’s resolution to quit smoking, now is the time to get back on track with the Freedom from Smoking program being offered by Beaufort Memorial LifeFit Wellness Services. Developed by the American Lung Association and considered the “gold standard” in smoking cessation programs, Freedom from Smoking”offers participants the best chance at kicking the habit for good. Classes will be held from 5:30-7 p.m. Mondays beginning March 13 in the Beaufort Medical and Administrative Center at 990 Ribaut Road, Beaufort (directly across the street from the main hospital campus). "Freedom from Smoking takes place in a group setting and the individuals who participate in the program get to work together on their journey to being smoke-free,” said LifeFit Community Health Educator Alexa DeFeo. “We as facilitators are there for support and guidance so that everyone can set a quit date together and stick to it.” During the course of the program, taught by a certified Freedom from Smoking instructor from the Beaufort County Department of Alcohol and Drug Abuse and LifeFit staff, participants will examine their own patterns of smoking, learn how to handle triggers and urges and receive training on stress management techniques that can help them get through the quitting process and life after cigarettes. An extra support session will be offered shortly after “quit day” to help ensure class members don’t break down and light up. In addition, participants will receive a
“Freedom from Smoking” workbook, a relaxation CD and various helpful handouts. The cost for the course is $30. Class size is limited, so reservations are required. To register, call 843-522-5570 or email adefeo@ bmhsc.org.

surroundings, improved in 25 percent of patients. Depression was relieved in many of them, and the level of improvement was similar to what commonly occurs after cataract surDr. Mark Siegel gery in elderly people who do not have dementia. No changes were found in patients' level of autonomy, that is, their ability to function independently. Sleep patterns improved and nighttime behavior problems decreased in most study patients. Other studies have shown that when cataracts are removed, levels of the sleep-regulating hormone melatonin become normalized. Dr. Girard notes that this may have been a key factor in the Alzheimer's patients' improved sleep patterns. Since removing cataracts can improve the ability of patients with Alzheimer’s disease to function, improve their mood, cognition and sleep patterns, then this is another means to help those we love with this debilitating disease.

Researchers at Tenon Hospital in Paris have found that patients with mild Alzheimer's disease whose vision improved after cataract surgery also showed improvement in cognitive ability, mood, sleep patterns and other behaviors. This is the first study to specifically assess whether cataract surgery could benefit Alzheimer's patients, although earlier research had shown that poor vision is related to impaired mood and thinking skills in older people and that cataract surgery could improve their quality of life. Thirty-eight patients, average age 85 and all exhibiting mild dementia due to Alzheimer's disease, completed the study. All participants had debilitating cataract in at least one eye and were appropriately treated with standard cataract surgery and implantation of intraocular lenses, which replace the eyes' natural lenses in order to provide vision correction. After surgery, distance and near vision improved dramatically in all but one of the Alzheimer's patients. A neuropsychologist assessed the Alzheimer's patients for mood and depression, behavior, ability to function independently and cognitive abilities at one month before and three months after cataract surgery.

IN OTHER NEWS NEWS BRIEFS The issuance of Beaufort County’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2016, has been delayed due to the financial impact to the county of costs associated with debris removal efforts stemming from the effects of Hurricane Matthew. The county’s external financial auditors have requested that the county determine and include information pertaining to these projected costs within the CAFR. Once the CAFR is completed, a notice will be issued to the public and the report will be posted online at the county’s website.
New guidelines for county waste centers
According to Beaufort County, waste delivered in trailers, regardless of size, is prohibited at the following convenience centers: Big Estate, Coffin Point, Cuffy, Gate (Castle Rock and Grober Hill Road), Lobeco, Pritchardville and Sheldon. Trailer use at these facilities will not be allowed due to the safety hazard they create on the small ramp space combined with the increased traffic at all of the centers. “These particular centers are older and smaller than the rest, so we want to be proactive in offering a safe experience to our residents by updating our guidelines for these centers,” said Beaufort County Solid Waste Director Jim Minor. Trailers with small loads will be allowed at the larger modern centers that can accommodate them, which are on Hilton Head, Simmonsville Road, Shanklin and St. Helena Island. Residents are reminded that truck loads and a trailer load are not accepted at one time. The centers do not have capacity for large loads. Leaves and small limbs should be disposed of in the same way yard waste is normally disposed. Waste types are classified in the following categories: • Class 1 waste: Small limbs, leaves and landscape trimmings. • Class 2 waste: Building materials, drywall, lumber, carpet, furniture, mattresses and plumbing. The city of Beaufort collects Class 1 waste at the curb as part of its waste service for residents who live within Beaufort city limits. Additionally, Beaufort County advises residents to immediately stop placing storm-generated debrisat rights-of-way. The county’s debris monitoring firm has inventoried all remaining debris for pickup by contractors. Any storm-generated debris that was not placed at the right-of-way prior to inventory must be properly removed and disposed of by the property owner. All Beaufort County residents are encouraged to visit the Beaufort County Disaster Recovery website for more information related to the county's Hurricane Matthew recovery efforts.

Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island hosted a naturalization ceremony recently during which 18 new Marines became naturalized U.S. citizens. Those same 18 new Marines were among the 456 new Marines of Lima Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, and Oscar Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion. These new Marines will enjoy 10 days of leave before reporting to the next step in entry-level training at the School of Infantry at Camp Geiger, N.C. There, they will go to either Infantry Training Battalion (only infantry occupational fields) or Marine combat training followed by occupational training.

Bird watchers in South Carolina are being asked to help scientists learn where the eastern populations of painted buntings spend the winter. Splashed with red, blue, green and yellow, the male painted bunting is one of the most colorful songbirds in North America. Anyone who sees these birds is asked to report their observations through the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's Project FeederWatch, a winter-long survey of bird species. The Cornell Lab and the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center have joined forces to gather much-needed wintering information. "Using observations of painted buntings that FeederWatch participants have submitted since 2011, we have been able to get a sense of where southeastern populations are likely to winter in the United States," says FeederWatch leader Emma Greig. "We don't know the relative importance of these sites because of large gaps in information. FeederWatch participants can contribute significantly to the conservation of this beautiful bird." Loss of habitat from development, along with climate change, sea level rise and the illegal bird trade have combined to cause the eastern population of the birds to plummet. "Recent results from the North American Breeding Bird Survey have shown that populations of eastern painted buntings that breed farther south have declined much faster than northern populations," said Cornell Lab researcher Viviana Ruiz who is co-leading the effort to collect information about the species. "Knowing where painted bun-

TIDES FOR BROAD CREEK, HILTON HEAD ISLAND
TIDE CHART for March 2-8 provided by
Parris Island hosts naturalization ceremony
The Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor Commission recently welcomed seven new commissioners from each of the four states that make up the region. Executive Director J. Herman Blake said the new members were nominated by the State Historic Preservation Officers in the states of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida and appointed by the Secretary of the Interior. They serve threeyear terms. The new South Carolina commissioners include Victoria Smalls of St. Helena Island, director of history, art and culture at Penn Center. She also serves on the S.C. African American Heritage Commission and is an advisory board member of the Gullah Geechee Consortium of Beaufort County. She is a former educator and a self-taught artist. At its recent meeting in St. Augustine, Fla., the commission also elected new officers and welcomed returning officeholders. Emory Campbell, of Hilton Head Island, was elected chair for a one-year term. The Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor Commission was created by Congress in 2006 to recognize the important contributions made to American culture and history by African Americans known as the Gullah or Geechee who settled in the coastal counties of South Carolina, Georgia, North Carolina and Florida.
Paving underway on Broad River Road
Asphalt paving will take place through Saturday, March 4, on Broad River Road from Parris Island Gateway to Robert Smalls Road.
This work could be intermittent if there are unfavorable weather conditions and unforeseen mechanical failures. There will be lane closures, but traffic will be maintained through the use of traffic control devices. Motorists are asked to use caution when driving through the work zone.
Volunteers needed to record precipitation
The Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network (CoCoRaHS) is in need of volunteers to take precipitation measurements throughout South Carolina. CoCoRaHS is a nonprofit organization made up of volunteers of all ages who work together to measure and map precipitation for natural resource, education and research applications. Volunteers use low-cost measurement tools and an interactive website to report data that will be used by the SCDNR State Climatology office, National Weather Service, USDA, emergency managers and multiple other entities and individuals. Visit www.cocorahs.org.
County to survey roads for repairs
Beaufort County will conduct a pavement condition survey to collect data related to county roadway maintenance and repair projects. The survey is expected to continue through the end of March. Beaufort County has contracted with F&ME Consultants to assist with the survey. Data Transfer Solutions, a subcontractor of F&ME, will drive all paved county-maintained roads in their Mobile Asset Collection van to collect video and GPS data of the roadways. Weather conditions could require that the van drive along a road several times in order to accurately collect the required data. Anyone with questions or concerns should contact the Beaufort County Engineering Department at 843-255-2700.

charging a higher rate to businesses physically located outside the city limits. It also would exempt 25 percent of a business’s income that is collected outside of the municipality where the company maintains its principle business. The bill, however, doesn’t define “principle business,” Prokop noted. In Beaufort, those changes would affect companies such as big box retailers and car dealerships, the city says. A big box retailer headquartered outside of Beaufort – or outside South Carolina – would pay a business license tax on only 75 percent of its Beaufort income compared to locally-owned stores, which would have to pay on 100 percent of their local income, according to the city. Erickson, however, is in favor of changing the way business licenses are handled, saying that more uniformity is needed be-

cause municipalities across the state collect revenues from business licensing in a variety of ways. “I recognize that local governments may not trust the state handling local government funds. I share the concerns of our local governments to protect their ability to do their work and I do not wish to see the state divert local funds into state coffers to increase state spending,” she wrote. “However, I am confident the current legislation and safeguards will ensure that any business licensing taxes collected will properly be returned to the local governments. “Further, I believe the current proposals on business license reform will actually increase revenues for local governments. Implementing uniformity across the state (making it easier to comply) will increase business license applications by encouraging applications from those businesses who currently fail to properly file for a license out of the confusion caused by the current landscape of inconsistent laws and ordinances.

A rise in business licenses would naturally result in more revenue to the cities.” However, Kathy Todd, finance director for the city of Beaufort, said the proposed House bills would create the following estimated annual losses in revenue for Beaufort: • $377,179 to $500,000 from the reduction of business license tax collected from business activity within the city from businesses whose primary location is located outside city limits; • $110,000 from the reduction of business license tax collected from business income where the business maintains a principal place of operation outside the city limits; • $251,245 from the reduction in insurance premium tax; • And $111,576 to $150,000 from other provisions such as the $100 filing fee rebated the following year, the effect on accuracy of reporting telecommunications tax, brokers tax, etc. “These proposed changes to the business license law, coupled with the state’s restric-

tions on local governments controlling their own property tax structure, handcuff us and other municipalities,” Prokop said. “While we are limited in our ability to create revenue, we are seeing increased needs for expenditures such as police and fire service, maintaining our parks and open spaces, and creating new opportunities for economic development.” A loss of this magnitude would leave city officials no choice but to raise property taxes, business license rates or to create other user fees such as a public safety fee or road maintenance fee; or to cut public safety and public works personnel or a combination of these measures, Todd said. “Assertions by our legislators that revenues would increase by their amendments aren’t supported by any credible analysis,” she said. “The city is confident that the current level of services would not be able to be maintained without an impact on our residents or those services if these changes to the business license process are adopted.”
Have a treasured book? Bring it to library event If you’re harboring some potentially rare and unique treasures amongst your books and papers, bring them to the Beaufort Branch Library from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, March 11. Renowned book experts Kinsey Baker, David Anderson and Wilson McIntosh will be on hand to tell whether you have something really special or just another book or scrap that has meaning to you. The event is sponsored by the Friends of the Beaufort Library as a fundraising event. Each piece will be evaluated for a $5 donation to the Friends. Baker is a volunteer director for the Friends and manages its Annual Fall Book Sale every September in Waterfront
Park where thousands of books are sold. Members of the community donate books all year long at the library branches and Kinsey and his team of sorters cull through the piles and categorize and pull out the best for book lovers. Kinsey and his wife Kelly, who assists in the Friends’ book “business,” operated a book store for 35 years in Lancaster, Pa. Anderson, along with his wife Lorrie, own and operate the new location on Craven Street for Nevermore Books, a collection of all the best oldies, rare treasures and some current fare. They are both book lovers and connoisseurs. McIntosh has been in Beaufort for decades, operating

AN IN-DEPTH LOOK AT THE PEOPLE & EVENTS THAT SHAPE OUR COMMUNITY
Mrs. Beaufort County is model for those fighting disease By Aileen Goldstein
As with all military wives and mothers, Kristi Becker is busy. She, however, wears the hat — make that sash — of the reigning Mrs. Beaufort County America. Becker manages to balance life as a mother of two children and wife to a drill sergeant on Parris Island along with her duties as Mrs. Beaufort County. On any given day, Becker can be found speaking at an event or participating in a community event such as Wreaths across America, helping to lay more than 8,000 wreaths at the National Cemetery to honor veterans. What you can’t see when you look at Becker is her disease. Becker is one of an estimated 2.3 million people worldwide who live with multiple sclerosis. Multiple sclerosis, also known as MS, is an autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system. It is often unpredictable and possibly disabling. Becker was officially diagnosed with the disease in October 2014. Her diagnosis, like many, started with symptoms like tingling and numbness in her arm. Doctors thought she likely had a pinched nerve in her neck. “I was a veterinary assistant, so they thought I tweaked something in my neck or my upper back. Come to find out, I had a lesion on my neck,” she said. The lesion, common in MS patients, is actually a scar that results when the patient’s overactive immune response damages the fatty protein layer, known as myelin, that insulates the spinal cord. Lesions are also found in the brains of patients, visible through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). After her diagnosis, Becker said she gave up on herself and allowed the MS to take over her life. She finally decided she needed to do something for herself to help her move past her devastating diagnosis. That was when she looked into pageants. “It was the first thing I was able to go out and say I was going to focus and conquer, and I did. It was amazing, the best feeling in the world,” she said as she flashes a beautiful smile. She won the title and went on to compete in the Mrs. South Carolina, in which she came in as fourth runner-up. Becker has used her MS as a platform while competing in her pageants and often speaks on the subject. “When people hear MS, they think of wheelchairs and death, so I like to talk about it and tell my story so people understand,” she said. Along with speaking, Becker also fundraises to support research into cures for MS. Currently, there is no FDA-approved cure for the disease, and patients can only take medications to slow the progress of the disease and prevent flare-ups. Becker said her first fundraiser after being diagnosed was Walk MS, a fundraiser for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Becker also supports promising research in stem cell therapy as a treatment of MS. Above all, she wants to inspire others. “I really want to empower those that have silent diseases or situations that make it hard at times. You can keep going forward and follow your dreams. Keep pushing forward,” she said. Becker said one of the hardest things about MS is the fact that it is a silent disease and those who have it suffer alone because a lot of symptoms are not visible. “People don’t see that you’re tired or you have blurry vision or are having trouble swallowing,” she explains. The other thing that keeps Becker going is her children. Her daughter, Kaitlynn, especially finds it thrilling that her mom is Mrs. Beaufort County. “She is ecstatic, which is an amazing feeling,” said Becker. “You don’t realize how much of a role model you are to your children.” Becker hopes to continue her reign as Mrs. Beaufort County and compete again in the fall for Mrs. South Carolina. Most important, though, she wants to inspire others. “If I am able to encourage and empower somebody, then I can say the MS is worth it.” Kristi Becker is the reigning Mrs. Beaufort County America.

SCHOOLS & SPORTS SCHOOL BRIEFS Local counselors honored by district
From left are Kimberly Brown, Suzan Ballard and Jalissa Newton.
Jalissa Newton, of Lady’s Island Elementary, has been named the 2017 Beaufort County School District’s Elementary School Counselor, and Kimberly Brown, of Whale Branch Early College High, was named the High School Counselor of the Year. Veteran H.E. McCracken Middle School lead counselor Suzan Ballard was named the 2017 School Counselor of the Year. Superintendent Jeff Moss made the announcements at a recent awards breakfast for the district’s counselors. “Top-notch schools have top-notch school counselors,” Moss said. “They keep students on track for success, both academically and emotionally. And they also have to be excellent communicators in order to keep parents informed about their children’s progress.” A three-person panel of district administrators evaluated this year’s candidates and selected the honorees. More than 20 local businesses and community members sponsored the awards breakfast and donated gifts for the school district’s counselors.
Adult ed program earns honors, funds
The Beaufort County School District’s adult education program has received two statewide awards as well as $822,000 in performance-based funding tied to positive academic results. Although the district’s adult education
program serves students of all ages, performance-based funding rewards those that help students ages 17-22 earn their South Carolina high school diplomas, WorkKeys certificates or high school equivalency diplomas (GEDs). “Our adult education team continues to raise the bar,” said Superintendent Jeff Moss. “These recognitions represent a tremendous amount of time, effort and energy devoted to helping students be successful in school and in life.” Adult Education Director Juanita Murrell said this is the third year for performance-based funding, which allocates state and federal dollars to local programs based on indicators such as students’ academic improvements as well as the numbers of students earning high school diplomas, WorkKeys certificates or GEDs. Beaufort County has received $822,000 in performance-based funds based on indicators from the 2015-16 school year. “Adult education has a tremendous positive impact, not only on the lives of students but also on the economy and business climate of the entire county,” Murrell said. “That’s because we have a singular focus, and that is creating pathways for students to get and keep good jobs. The more gains we make with our students and the more lives we improve, the more funding we’ll receive.”
Holy Trinity student wins dance competition
Holy Trinity student Payton Howard took first place in the 2017 South Carolina Independent School Association (SCISA) Dance Competition for her contemporary solo to "Read All About It." In addition, Howard was named SCISA Middle School State Dance Best Overall Soloist. Howard has been dancing since the age of 2 and has placed in numerous competitions, her most recent being recognized for first place and the judges' choice award at Dance Makers Inc., where she was also selected
ardson, of Beaufort Middle School, will be interviewing local veterans and videotaping or audiotaping the interviews. “We plan to submit the interviews to the Library of Congress’s Veterans History Project, in hopes that the interviews can be added to their collection,” said Richardson. “We did this last year and the Library of Congress accepted all eight videotaped interviews into their collection.” The Veteran’s History Project incorporates videos, photographs, letters, diaries, journals, military documents, unpublished memoirs from veterans, who served in the United States military, in any capacity, from World War I through the present and are no longer serving. Civilians who served in support of a United States war effort in a professional capacity also are welcome to participate. Call Richardson at 843-322-5679, or e-mail her at laura.richardson@beaufort. k12.sc.us.
Local student named to Dean’s List by the faculty to receive a National Finals Scholarship. However, earning SCISA titles for Holy Trinity holds a special significance for the seventh grader. "I love being able to tell a story through movement and dance,” she said. “It was exciting to watch and cheer on the other dancers at the competition, but what made the SCISA Dance Competition so special for me was the honor of being able to represent my school, Holy Trinity." To learn more about the classical Christian education offered at Holy Trinity, visit www.htccs.org.
Tucker Langehans, a sophomore English major at Grove City College, has been named to the Dean's List with Distinction for the Fall 2016 semester. Tucker is a 2015 graduate of Beaufort Academy and is the daughter of Dr. Michael and Sarah Langehans.

The Beaufort High Eagles split games in the Summerville-hosted Battle on the Bases tournament on Feb. 24. Ashley Ridge managed to edge Beaufort High 1-0 in the Eagles' opening game of the tournament. Pulling away to win convincingly in a nightcap, Beaufort High blanked Bluffton 12-0. Ridge scored the game's lone run in the bottom half of the seventh inning to edge Beaufort High. Beaufort High, however, turned in a solid all-around performance in the nightcap, shutting out longtime rival Bluffton. Emily Cook pitched a one-hit shutout as the Eagles won convincingly. Cook retired nine Bluffton batters in order before giving up a single to Bluffton's Chandler Nix. Recovering nicely, Cook retired the next three hitters to allow Beaufort High to prevail.

Charleston Collegiate drained 12 three-pointers in the victory. Luke Harper paced the Eagles with a team-best 25 points. Beaufort Academy also featured three scorers in double figures as Dawson Coleman scored 18 points and region player of the year Kevin Williams posted 15 points.

Three artists provide variety of styles, subjects Now on display at the University of South Carolina Beaufort Center for the Arts are works by three Beaufort artists who have been friends for over 20 years. The show, on view at the center through Sunday, April 2, features a variety of styles, mediums and subject matter. Priscilla Merrick Coleman works mostly in plein air. She grew up on a farm near Bluffton, and this provided daily opportunities to explore fields, woods, rivers and marshes. These experiences remain a major influence and subject of her work. “In working plein air, the intent of my work is to share with the viewer an intimate connection with the places I paint, capturing
both a visual response and emotional reaction,” she said. Merrick Coleman will be represented by the Charles Street Gallery in Beaufort. Audrey Montgomery’s artistic interests began at an early age, but it was not until 2009 after taking a drop-in watercolor class that she became passionate about painting. She enjoys portraying her subjects as they are revealed by light. Her technical background has fostered an interest in how things are constructed, which is reflected in her paintings. She is represented by Maye River Gallery in Bluffton. Visit www.amontgomeryart. com.
Mary Grayson Segars is a Beaufort painter who works in a representational, though not highly detailed, style. Her works generally incorporate effects of light on objects or scenes, evidenced by cast shadows or late-day glow. After years of working with pencil and pastels, she took up oil painting in 1998. She frequently teaches painting workshops throughout the Southeast. Her artwork can be seen at the Maye River Gallery (Bluffton), Plum Goose (Charleston), Macdonald Marketplace (Frogmore), City Art Gallery (Greenville, N.C.), and in her working studio at Atelier on Bay (Beaufort).

VOICES
Sanford: Obamacare replacement offered By Mark Sanford, R-SC U.S. House of Representatives
Republicans in Washington have voted more than 60 times to repeal the Affordable Care Act, what many call Obamacare. It was popular to do so. It was also a safe vote. But that has changed because, for just the fourth time in the history of our republic, voters gave Republicans the keys to the House, Senate and White House. Repeal is no longer a symbolic vote. It could bring with it change that some would like and others wouldn’t. And so what we have seen in Congress recently is backtracking. Maybe we will repeal Obamacare, but not in its entirety. Maybe we will repeal, but not replace. It’s essential we do both. I’d humbly submit that Congress should not just be against something, it should be for something too — especially here. Health is vital and personal. It can mean life or death. It affects those you most love. All these things make it crucial that we are thoughtful in offering a remedy. It’s for these reasons that Sen. Rand Paul and I are introducing the Obamacare Replacement Act. Our plan is built around free market principles vital to improving any product or service but, in this case, necessary to better care, access and pricing. These things are missing in healthcare and
were made worse with Obamacare. What we do is assemble the building blocks that would create a market and empower each of us in our healthcare decisions. Our plan legalizes less Mark Sanford expensive health insurance. Think about it. Right now, you can’t buy inexpensive plans. With aging comes more ailments, and yet if you’re young you can’t purchase a simple plan that fits your shorter list of aches and pains. Obamacare’s minimum coverage mandates mean that each of us has to buy a plan that has what government deems essential, even if we don’t need them. This drives up cost, and consequently many young people simply skip on health insurance. Government dictating content and enrollment is hardly a monument to freedom, but it’s been catastrophic in escalating cost and limiting choice. In South Carolina, we are now down to one Obamacare insurance provider, and average premiums increased by 28 percent this year. Our plan affords the rest of us what employers already have. This is big. If an employer offers health insurance to an employee, the cost is deducted.
The rest of us don’t get the same. Health insurance was linked to employment as a way of getting around the wage and price controls of World War II, but it shouldn’t be this way today. You don’t get your home or car insurance through your work, and doing so would create problems. Some people stay with jobs they don’t like just to hang onto health insurance; still others spend more thinking they are spending others’ money. Feeling like you are spending someone else’s money does not help when it comes to market pricing. To further competitive forces, we allow you to buy health insurance across state lines, just as you do with other forms of insurance. We also allow you to create buying power that comes with scale. One Realtor isn’t much in the market, but 100,000 Realtors pooled together gives them the buying power of a large corporation. We strengthen an individual’s health savings account (HSA) to help boost people spending their own money. Did you know that with services like Lasik or plastic surgery, the areas of medicine where people spend their own money, prices have come down? Our plan expands HSA access to everyone, removes the contribution limit and gives a non-refundable tax credit of up to $5,000 a year. We even incorporate a few good ideas
from Obamacare. This plan lets children stay on their parent’s plan until the age of 26. It’s reasonable to let someone deal with the costs of life after they have gotten started in life and finished school. We allow for pre-existing conditions because some of us will be more fortunate than others here. I don’t want my sister to get cancer, but if she did, I would struggle with the idea of an insurance company knocking her off the rolls based on her misfortune. So in our plan, as long as you buy insurance and stay on it, they can’t kick you off. Obamacare did the reverse. It incentivized people waiting until they were sick to get insurance. This proved to be one of its fatal flaws, and our bill fixes it. Think about it like this: Do you wait until your house is burning to buy fire insurance? Obamacare was supposed to expand insurance options and lower premiums. We were promised that if we liked our plan, we could keep it. It didn’t work out that way. It’s time for a change. U.S. House Rep. Mark Sanford, R-SC, will hold a Beaufort County Town Hall meeting from 2-3 p.m. Friday, March 3, at the Technical College of the Lowcountry Student Center, Building 12, at 921 Ribaut Road.
The pickle: Picking up after litterbug Hurricane Matthew As I was hanging off my dock the other day a wild man came running towards me screaming, “STOP! Do not pick up that wood!” I proceeded to lasso the end of the broken pole and secured it to the side of the dock. The man yelling was my spouse. I thought he had already gone to the hardware store, but he must have forgotten something because there he was flailing his arms at me to stop. We have gotten this routine down pretty well. He leaves the house and I go out to the dock and see what piece of floating dock debris I can fish out of the water. He has estimated that since Hurricane Matthew, I have pulled out enough wood to build an entire dock. “I cannot help it!” I say
Now what?

to him. “It is an obsession.” I hate to see this junk floating in the water. His argument back to me is that he is the one who has to haul it to the dump all the time. Which is not true, because a lot of times, I just do it myself so we do not have to have this same conversation. I am on a personal crusade.
The debris is floating down from islands all over the Lowcountry. The tides snatch it from the shores and send it out to the surrounding waterways. It makes me nervous to see boats flying up and down the creek dodging the wreckage. When a neighbor pointed out to me that it was the boat owner’s responsibility if he
hit something. I responded, “That is not the point. If there are volunteers picking up litter along our highways, why can’t boaters and waterfront property owners help to pick up the debris in our waterways?” On this particular day, the piece I was pulling up was too big for me. “What would you have done if I had not been here?” my spouse asked. “I would have had to wait for you,” I said, knowing, in the back of my mind, that he always helps me when I need him. He shook his head as we both dragged the broken piling out of the water. In the meantime, I just wait for another opportunity when he is leaving the house and remember to say to him casually, “Honey, just leave the truck for me today.”
Lady’s Island is Beaufort’s riddle Lady’s Island was back in the news last week with 67 parcels there annexed into Beaufort and a big planning charrette at the elementary school that was organized by The Sea Island Corridor Coalition. First, the big meeting.
B4
MARCH 2 - 8, 2017
The city is way behind on reaching out to the residents of Lady’s Island. The meeting was basically the residents taking matters into their own hands. And, yes, of course the Coastal Conservation League sees in the void an opportunity to make some new
friends and get in some contributions. Thus the snacks and crayons. There was no harm done there except having attracted hundreds to their meeting, the organizers have gotten cocky Bill Rauch and now think they may be able to go it alone without the city or the county. That’s naive. To get what they want and for it to stick they’ll need to work with both governments, but especially the city whose responsibility it is under the Northern Beaufort County Regional Plan to manage the growth on Lady’s Island. But the city has to be willing to do its part. And, in all candor, it appears to date it has not been. Why? Because the city has a problem. It wants the tax revenues from Lady’s Island, but it doesn’t want to incur the cost of delivering the services. City Council has so underfunded its police department, for example, that the Beaufort PD isn’t able to answer most of the calls from the in-city parcels on Lady’s Island. The Beaufort police count on the Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office for that. Same with fire. Lady’s Island-St. Helena is carrying the load, although by intergovernmental agreement they are compensated by the city for doing so. And, of course, then there’s planning. It’s past time to get real on Harris Teeter. No reasonable person can actually believe most of the shoppers who will shop at a Harris Teeter in the old Publix location will be pedestrians. The city needs the revenues, the chain wants to be in the neighborhood, and the neighborhood wants the store. It is time to end the stand-off. It’s OK for the parking lot to be on the Sea Island Parkway side like it was with Publix. As suggested, most of the shoppers on Lady’s Island use automobiles to transport the goods they buy. Consultants can suggest more
people should ride bicycles. Good. Maybe they will. It’s clearly healthy, except when you have to cross one of those five-lane roads. But more and more people want to live on Lady’s Island. That means there are more and more shoppers, and unless things change dramatically, there will thusly be more and more automobiles. Getting back to the meeting, so where’s the area traffic plan, including the intermodal part? Mayor Billy Keyserling said if he’d thought of it, he could have gotten for the city an integrated traffic plan for the big Publix intersection. But he didn’t. And the city doesn’t have one. The city’s transportation plan for Lady’s Island is characteristically “What can we get the county and SCDOT to do?” No wonder the mayor kept his head down and his hands in his pockets at the big meeting. It’s kind of like the embarrassing boats that slipped their anchors in Hurricane Matthew. The mayor says he called a meeting of OCRM, DNR and DOT to try to get to the bottom of whose responsibility it is to get those boats off the Lady’s Island causeway to be either sold or scrapped. But, surprise, the state agencies each said cleaning up Beaufort’s waterfront is not their responsibility, nor is the project in any of their respective budgets. Obviously the mayor thinks the city’s in the same boat: no responsibility, no money. So the junkyard continues. To be fair and not unduly critical, I applaud the mayor and council for the 67 annexations. “Annexation” used to be a bad word with this group. Maybe with the added revenues from the new parcels the city will feel it has reached the critical mass on Lady’s Island such that it can begin delivering there the urban services that are implicit with the jurisdictional change. Budget season approaches. Take note Lady’s Islanders. Take note Sea Island Corridor Coalition. It is there — and only there — that the true tale will be told.
