COVERING BEAUFORT COUNTY
Superintendent's resignation leaves school board with work to do By Justin Jarrett
One of the biggest points of contention among a divided Beaufort County Board of Education has been removed from the equation. Now it’s time for board members to work on their deeper issues. The Board of Education accepted Superintendent Jeff Moss’s resignation Tuesday, May 15, effectively ending a tenure marked by numerous successes but marred by controversy. Moss’s last day with the district will be July 31, at which time he will be paid an amount equal to his 2017-18 salary of $220,000, plus other benefits including his contractually earned annuity of $44,000 and payments for benefits and unused leave days.
Beaufort County Superintendent Dr. Jeff Moss, seen here meeting with the student advisory council at Bluffton High School, tendered his resignation Wednesday, May 16. His last day with the district will be July 31. Moss’s tenure was marked by positive growth in the district but also marred by controversy.
“This was a necessary step for the district to move forward, and I’ve
said that for years,” board District 2 representative David Striebinger
said. “It’s not the only step we need to take, but it’s a necessary step. This is our first step. Now we need to follow through. The board has to change the way it acts. We don’t have Dr. Moss now to hold up as the problem. Now we have to come to grips with the fact that we’re the problem.” If the board’s first meeting following the announcement is any indication, that might not happen right away. District 4 representative Joseph Dunkle, a member of the board’s so-called “minority bloc” that has long opposed Moss and sparred with the board’s officers, left the board’s special meeting Thursday and posted a live video to Facebook complaining
We have a total of 23 teachers, aids, and social workers. All have been trained on what to do and when to do it.” —Ann M. Feltner, principal at St. Peter’s Catholic School
that the officers had taken it upon themselves to determine the procedure for selecting an interim superintendent without consulting the board at large. “It’s still two-thirds of the officers that we tried to remove a few months ago that I feel are failing at their leadership, and clearly they’re demonstrating that again,” Dunkle said in the video filmed from his car. “The officers run the show. The officers make the decisions. The officers set the agenda. … I feel like I have no say … So many times I walk into these board meetings and feel like it’s game, set, match.” Although Striebinger is also part SEE BOARD, PAGE A6
BHS student earns lofty scholarship It’s not quite a one-in-a-million opportunity, but Beaufort High School senior Chris Hoogenboom can claim an honor that only a tiny fraction of high school seniors earn. Hoogenboom is among only 2,500 high school seniors nationwide who will receive a prestigious National Merit Scholarship, the Beaufort County School District announced last week. Hoogenboom plans to attend Vanderbilt University to study physics and is considering possible careers in physics or engineering.
Robles donates life-saving Jacob kits to St. Peter’s Catholic School
BY BOB SOFALY Pictured above left: Amy Hamilton, left, ties a tourniquet around the arm of Jessica Green while training with the new Jacob kits Wednesday, May 16, at St. Peter’s Catholic School. Dave Robles, center, donated 11 kits to the school. Above right: Fire Marshall Will Vaigneur of the Lady’s Island/St. Helena Fire Department checks off all 11 Jacob kits.
No one ever expects their seat belt will be tested. No one ever expects their air bags will be deployed on their way to school. But those devices are there, ready to be used if needed, because they might save a life. The same logic applies to Jacob kits – trauma kits named after Jacob Hall, a student who was killed by a school shooter in the Upstate in 2016. The kits contain tools like a tourniquet, medical gloves, bandages, tape, scissors, and gauze that can be used to treat victims in the event of a shooting. St. Peter’s Catholic School in Beaufort now has 11 of the potentially life-saving kits, thanks to the generosity of retired U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Maj. Dave Robles. Robles, a parish-

Dan Byrne of the Burton Fire Department, who contacted the Lady’s Island/St. Helena Fire Department and got the ball rolling,” Robles said. “We got it covered and here we are now.” The kits were delivered on Wednesday, May 16, with the LI/SH Fire Department providing training on how to use the kits, as well as how to survive an intruder or active shooter event.

“Chris is an outstanding student and an outstanding representative for Beaufort High School,” said Superintendent Jeff Moss. “We couldn’t be prouder of him.” About 1.6 million students in 22,000 high schools entered the National Merit Scholarship competition when they took the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test as juniors, which served as an initial screening of program entrants. About 15,000 students were named as finalists, representing less than 1 percent of the nation’s seniors. National Merit Scholars are selected by a committee of college admissions officers and high school counselors who appraise a substantial amount of information submitted by the finalists and their high schools — their academic record, including difficulty level of subjects studied and grades earned; scores from two standardized tests; contributions and leadership in school and community activities; an essay written by the finalist; and a recommendation written by a high school official.

Firefighters work quickly to contain house fire Three people and five cats escaped a house fire in the Shadow Moss subdivision of Port Royal in the early morning hours of Monday, May 21, the City of Beaufort/Town of Port Royal Fire Department and Burton Fire District said in a release. Twenty firefighters from the two agencies worked for 2 1/2 hours to mitigate the blaze at 28 Cedar Creek Circle, dousing the fire before it could spread into the attic. Beaufort County EMS and Port Royal Police Department also responded to the incident. First-arriving crews found the residents outside as flames consumed the right side of the home and encroached on the attic space. The residents told the firefighters they were awakened by loud popping sounds outside and came out to find the side of the home on fire. Firefighters made quick work of the visible fire, stopping the spread of fire into the attic.
“We didn’t have much time to waste,” said first arriving officer Lt. Joshua Doud. “The fire was rapidly consuming the siding, sheeting, and structural wood on the side of the home and was obviously impinging on the attic. It wouldn’t have been long and we would have lost the roof and likely the whole home.” More crews accessed the interior of the home, located the attic access, and extinguished some residual smoldering material in the attic.
“Modern, lightweight construction does not stand up to fire conditions very well,” said Fire Marshall Capt. Tim Ogden. “Vinyl siding burns quickly, and once the wood sheeting catches it goes fast. We are lucky in this case to catch it before it got to the attic. The trusses in the attic only give us minutes to try and get the fire out before they start to fail, and the roof will collapse.” Additional crews were able to locate the five cats that lived in the home and reunite
them with their owners. In the daylight, it is visible that the fire made entry into the attic and burned through the roof in a few spots close to the edge nearest the fire. The electric meter was close to the origin of the fire and the popping the residents heard was attributed to the wires burning through and arcing. The cause of the fire is under investigation, but the origin was narrowed down to the exterior of the home in the same location where a garbage can roll cart was stored. This is the second such fire in this subdivision where a trash roll cart was suspected to have caught fire or was part of the fire and was close enough to the exterior of the home for the fire to spread. Residents are encouraged to find a location that fits within the town code (not left on the street) and fits within the covenants of their community to store the trash cart away from the home.

Inaugural ‘Realities of Reconstruction’ conference June 1-3 in Beaufort The inaugural Realities of Reconstruction conference will be held June 1-3 at the new Mather Museum and Interpretive Center at the Technical College of the Lowcountry campus in Beaufort. Beaufort County is the location of the new multi-site Reconstruction Era National Monument, and the Realities of Reconstruction Conference will engage those interested in learning more about the largely untold story of the initial steps taken into freedom by the formerly enslaved Africans. Interactive sessions and films about the Reconstruction Era and the part that people of African descent played, as well as how they suffered due to political and financial setbacks, will all be part of the dialogues at the conference.
On Friday, June 1, the conference begins with a tour of the new Mather Museum and Interpretive Center, followed by "De Gullah/Geechee Reconstruction Storee Tour" led by Queen Quet, Chieftess of the Gullah/Geechee Nation. The tour will include engagement with the National Park Service interpretive rangers.

HANDLING MARKET VOLATILITY Conventional wisdom says that what goes up, must come down. But even if you view market volatility as a normal occurrence, it can be tough to handle when it's your money at stake. Though there's no foolproof way to handle the ups and downs of the stock market, the following common sense tips can help. Don't put all your eggs in one basket Diversifying your investment portfolio is one of the key ways you can handle market volatility. Because asset classes often perform differently under different market conditions, spreading your assets across a variety of different investments such as stocks, bonds, and cash alternatives (e.g., money market funds and other short-term instruments), has the potential to help manage your overall risk. Ideally, a decline in one type of asset will be balanced out by a gain in another, though diversification can't guarantee a profit or eliminate the possibility of market loss. One way to diversify your portfolio is through asset allocation. Asset allocation involves identifying the asset classes that are appropriate for you and allocating a certain percentage of your investment dollars to each class (e.g., 70 percent to stocks, 20 percent to bonds, 10 percent to cash alternatives). A worksheet or an interactive tool can suggest a model or sample allocation based on your investment objectives, risk tolerance level, and investment time horizon, but your strategy should be tailored to your unique circumstances. Focus on the forest, not the trees As the markets go up and down, it's easy to become too focused on day-to-day returns. Instead, keep your eyes on your long-term investing goals and your overall portfolio. Although only you can decide how much investment risk you can handle, if you still have years to invest, don't overestimate the effect of short-term price fluctuations on your portfolio. Look before you leap When the market goes down and investment losses pile up, you may be tempted to pull out of the stock market altogether and look for less volatile investments. The small returns that typically accompany low-risk investments may seem downright attractive when more risky investments are posting negative returns. But before you leap into a different invest-
ment strategy, make sure you're doing it for the right reasons. How you choose to invest your money should be consistent with your goals and time horizon. For instance, putting a Hall Sumner larger percentage of your investment dollars into vehicles that offer safety of principal and liquidity (the opportunity to easily access your funds) may be the right strategy for you if your investment goals are short-term or if a longterm goal such as retirement has now become an immediate goal. But if you still have years to invest, keep in mind that although past performance is no guarantee of future results, stocks have historically outperformed stable value investments over time. If you move most or all of your investment dollars into conservative investments, you've not only locked in any losses you might have, but you've also sacrificed the potential for higher returns. Look for the silver lining A down market, like every cloud, has a silver lining. The silver lining of a down market is the opportunity you have to buy shares of stock at lower prices. One of the ways you can do this is by using dollar cost averaging. With dollar cost averaging, you don't try to "time the market" by buying shares at the moment when the price is lowest. In fact, you don't worry about price at all. Instead, you invest the same amount of money at regular intervals over time. When the price is higher, your investment dollars buy fewer shares of stock, but when the price is lower, the same dollar amount will buy you more shares. Although dollar cost averaging can't guarantee you a profit or protect against a loss, over time a regular fixed dollar investment may result in an average price per share that's lower than the average market price, assuming you invest through all types of markets. A workplace savings plan, such as a 401(k) plan in which the same amount is deducted from each paycheck and invested through the plan, is one of the most well-known examples of dollar cost averaging in action. Please remember that since dollar cost averaging involves continuous investment in securities regardless
of fluctuating price levels of such securities, you should consider your financial ability to make ongoing purchases. Don't count your chickens before they hatch As the market recovers from a down cycle, elation quickly sets in. If the upswing lasts long enough, it's easy to believe that investing in the stock market is a sure thing. But, of course, it never is. As many investors have learned the hard way, becoming overly optimistic about investing during the good times can be as detrimental as worrying too much during the bad times. The right approach during all kinds of markets is to be realistic. Have a plan, stick with it, and strike a comfortable balance between risk and return. Don't stick your head in the sand While focusing too much on short-term gains or losses is unwise, so is ignoring your investments. You should check up on your portfolio at least once a year, more frequently if the market is particularly volatile or when there have been significant changes in your life. You may need to rebalance your portfolio to bring it back in line with your investment goals and risk tolerance, or redesign it so that it better suits your current needs. Don't hesitate to get expert help if you need it when deciding which investment options are right for you.

HEALTH
Beaufort Memorial RNs honored with DAISY Award After 53 years of marriage, Ron and Wanda Cady found themselves admitted to Beaufort Memorial Hospital on the very same day earlier this spring. Critically ill and deteriorating quickly, Ron was moved to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) on the second floor. His wife, suffering from less-serious health issues, was taken to the fifth floor Medical-Surgical-Oncology unit. Thanks to a pair of compassionate nurses determined to reunite the couple, the Cadys shared one final day together before Ron passed away. Lying side by side in hospital beds, they held hands as Ron took his final breath. Last week, hospital administrators and coworkers surprised nurses Margo Wehrenberg and Nicole Viskovich with the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses, a national tribute reserved for RNs who go the extra mile to care for patients and their families. For Wehrenberg, it was the second time she has been honored with the prestigious award. The veteran nurse, who retired in 1997 only to return to the profession 17
years later, received her first DAISY in 2016 for the care she showed to a dying patient. “I want to be there for my patients,” Wehrenberg said. “It fulfills me.” Viskovich, on the other hand, is just three years into her career as an ICU nurse. “I was speechless,” she said after receiving the award. “I am very grateful and honored to receive a DAISY for doing what I love to do.” The pair came up with a plan to bring the couple together after Ron’s doctor came into Wanda’s hospital room and told her that her 89-year-old husband was gravely ill and unlikely to live much longer. After obtaining a physician’s order that would allow Wanda to visit Ron in the ICU, Wehrenberg asked Viskovich if she could bring her patient down in a wheelchair to spend time with her husband. Viskovich agreed and Wehrenberg promised to be available to check on Mrs. Cady and give her any medications she needed. As the hours passed, it was evident that the patient was growing weak sitting in the
wheelchair. Viskovich and her charge nurse brought in another hospital bed for Wanda, a decision Wehrenberg supported. “Fortunately, the ICU was renovated a couple of years ago and the rooms now have enough space to squeeze in two beds side by side,” Viskovich said. “It was crowded, but I left myself wiggle room to get around his bed if I needed to get to the IV.” Having the couple in the same room also made it easier for their children, who had gathered at the hospital to be with their dying father. Viskovich even brought in a comfort cart with snacks and beverages so they wouldn’t have to leave his bedside. After Ron passed away, Wehrenberg moved Wanda to a 5T suite where the family would have more room to be together and grieve. “These two nurses demonstrated incredible teamwork,” said 5T nursing director Nancy Fu, who nominated the pair for the DAISY Award. “It was a beautiful act of compassion to find a way for this couple to be together at the end of his life.”

Is your diet detrimental to your dental health? By Dr. Stephen Durham
You brush and floss your teeth at least twice a day, keep all recommended dental check-ups, and consume a diet that’s healthy for your teeth. Or at least you think you do when it comes to that last part. For example, you drink citrus juices, diet sodas, or energy drinks because you assume that they are healthier for your body and teeth than sugary sodas. Thousands of other people do the same thing to avoid the sugar, but they do not realize just how much acidic content these beverages contain. When your teeth are exposed to the acid contained in these drinks it can damage them by eroding the enamel. Your saliva will neutralize smaller amounts of acidic drinks and re-mineralize your teeth, but if you drink several bottles per day it cannot keep up. Over time this can be a major source of tooth decay. Choose More of These Foods for Improved Oral Health Foods high in calcium, protein, and nutrients are better for your teeth than those with a high sugar or fat content. The next time you’re at the grocery store, consider adding some or all of the following to your cart: • Yogurt: In addition to containing high amounts of pro-
tein and calcium, yogurt introduces probiotics into your mouth. Also known as good bacteria, probiotics help to fight off the bad bacteria that can lead to tooth decay and cavities. However, you could do more harm than good if you consistently add sugar to the yogurt or choose brands that add artificial flavors and colors. Dr. Stephen • Cheese: Consuming this dairy product Durham helps to increase the level of pH in your mouth, which in turn helps to lessen the chance of tooth decay. Another benefit of eating cheese is that it requires a lot of chewing. This produces significant saliva to keep your teeth cleansed until you get the chance to brush them. The protein and calcium also help to strengthen the enamel of your teeth. • Leafy green vegetables: Like cheese and yogurt, leafy green vegetables such as kale and spinach are high in calcium, protein, vitamins, and minerals. They also contain folic acid, which can help women avoid developing gum disease during pregnancy. • Carrots: Because this vegetable requires a lot of chewing, it produces saliva that helps to keep bacteria at bay. Additional-
ly, carrots are a good source of fiber and Vitamin A. Both are good for your oral health as well as your overall physical health. • Almonds: Almonds contain high amounts of protein and calcium but little to no sugar. They tend to make a filling snack as well, so reach for a quarter cup of almonds instead of a sugar-filled treat the next time you need a little energy boost. • Apples: Although apples are sweet, they make up for it by providing you with plenty of water and fiber and producing a lot of saliva. In addition, an apple’s fibrous texture makes it ideal to stimulate your gums and prevent gum disease. If you need more tips on healthy eating or want to ensure that your teeth are in the healthiest possible condition, just ask your knowledgeable dental team at your next regular hygiene appointment.

SCHOOLS
TCL celebrates graduating class The Technical College of the Lowcountry honored 326 graduates at graduation exercises held on Friday, May 11, at Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park in downtown Beaufort. The graduates received a total of 468 associate degrees, diplomas, and certificates in health sciences, business, industrial technologies, and transfer programs. This year’s commencement was particularly noteworthy, as 2018 marks the 150th anniversary of the founding of the Mather School and the 50th anniversary of the Technical College of the Lowcountry. The Mather School, founded in 1868 to educate the daughters of freed slaves, educated and empowered countless individuals for 100 years. In 1968, the school property was given to the state of South Carolina and became TCL. Guest speaker and Mather alumnus Rufus Pinckney highlighted the mission and impact of the Mather School and recognized 98-year-old alumna Johnnie Watts Bampfield James, Class of 1936. Pinckney also offered special thanks to the graduates. “One hundred fifty years after the Mather School story began, I am so grateful to see that the Mather spirit continues to live through your achievements,” he said. President Richard Gough applauded the class’s diversity and perseverance and encouraged them to continue the college’s legacy. “TCL’s network, which includes you and other alumni, students, faculty, and staff, will help ensure a thriving community for another 150 years, no matter what,” Gough said.

of the minority and would have liked to have more input into the procedure – which calls for the board to select candidates to interview from a list provided by the South Carolina School Board Association – he’s content to go along with the plan in order to begin the rebuilding process. The board is scheduled to meet May 29 to interview candidates to become interim superintendent, who will not be a candidate for the permanent position. The board also has set a June 7 meeting to announce the five members of a committee charged with selecting a search firm to conduct the full search for a permanent superintendent. Board chairman and District 1 representative Earl Campbell said it’s his hope that Moss’s departure will help the board set aside
Kits
from page A1 “These trauma kits will help us get through an unforeseen event that would require us to stop the bleeding,” school principal Ann M. Feltner said. “The most likely trauma would be a school shooting or an act of nature. We have a total of 23 teachers, aids, and social workers. All have been trained on what to do and when to do it.” Feltner added they have received training on intruder and active shooters on school grounds and how to protect the children. “It’s just horrible” she said. “It’s something nobody ever wants to think about, but, unfortunately,
The class included 21 high school seniors who earned enough credits through the Early College Credit Opportunities program to graduate with college certificates and associate degrees. One such student, Jasiah Ballenger, served as the 2018 Student Speaker. Ballenger, a senior at Whale Branch Early College High School, earned two associate degrees and three college certificates three weeks before graduating high school. She encouraged her fellow graduates to be conscientious and diligent in using their time and talents. “Promise me one thing: In every way, take advantage of your time because we never know when our clock may run out,” she said. Dan Wood, a TCL alumnus and Bluffton Town Council
its differences and move the district forward, both under the interim superintendent and the permanent replacement. “Dr. Moss was not the problem. We were the problem,” Campbell said. “We could not get along with each other, and that’s bad. It makes the district look bad. We should be here for the betterment of the students, making sure they are getting the education they deserve. Instead of listening sometimes, we want to be talking all the time and always feel that we are right and never wrong. I would hope that over these next seven months we can work together as a board, and when the new board comes on (in November) we can continue that for the betterment of our students.” Moss was hired in 2013 and ran into his first major bout of controversy about two years later, when his wife was hired to a newly-created, high-paying job within the district, resulting in a fine from the South Carolina Ethics Commission. Earlier this year, it was
we have to.” Chief Bruce Kline of the LI/ SH Fire Department, said his team was happy to come into the school and help train the staff how to survive an intruder or active shooter event and he’s thankful the school has the kits, though he hopes they never need to use them. “We are excited about the traction these ( Jacob kits) are getting throughout the state,” LI/SH Fire Marshal Will Vaigneur said. “In the past, emergency responders had to hang back until the area had been secured. That takes a long time. These kits help dress a wound or apply a tourniquet with one object in mind – stop the bleeding and give the victim a chance to get to a trauma center.”
member, delivered the keynote address. “The most exciting time of your life begins today,” he said. “You are our next entrepreneurs, career professionals, and our future community leaders. These are exciting times. This is your time.” Hilton Head Island resident and philanthropist Liz Clist received the 2018 Presidential Medallion. Recognized as TCL’s top award given to a community citizen, the Presidential Medallion honors a distinguished community leader who exhibits enthusiasm, integrity, and perseverance beyond the ordinary to help build a better and stronger community. “Liz’s heartfelt philanthropy to the college and the community perfectly exemplifies the values we the College encourage,” Gough said.
revealed that the FBI is investigating the construction of River Ridge Academy and May River High School in Bluffton – the only two district schools built during Moss’ tenure. The contracts for those jobs were awarded to North Carolina-based Hits Associates, which had worked with Moss when he was superintendent of two school districts in the Tarheel State. Among the successes and initiatives of Moss’s tenure, the school district pointed to seven consecutive years of increased high school graduation rates, which are now at an all-time high; five consecutive years of increased college scholarship totals, also at an all-time high; the Connect2Learn 1-to-1 digital program that put mobile devices in all students’ hands from kindergarten through 12th grade; extended Pre-K services across the county; the school choice program; expanded career and technology education (CATE) opportunities; high-quality teacher recruitment and retention; the Leadership Institute;
the “Building a Better Beaufort” scholarship program that enables any Beaufort County School District student graduating with a 2.75 GPA to attend two years tuition-free at the Technical College of the Lowcountry; the employee locality pay supplement, a $5,000 additional annual payment for teachers; regular town hall community meetings across Beaufort County; increased access to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) curriculum across the county, including support for nationally recognized robotics teams; and eight STEM-certified schools, more than any other South Carolina district. “I’m very proud to have been a part of this school district during a period of growth, both academically and in enrollment,” Moss said in a district release. “I appreciate the opportunity to have served, and it’s my belief that the district is in a great position to continue to improve. The vision established should serve the district and community for years.”

SCHOOL BRIEFS School evacuated due to smoke scare
Students and staff at Beaufort Elementary were evacuated briefly Monday, May 21, while firefighters investigated reports of smoke inside the building. The evacuation lasted less than an hour, and the smoke was traced to a burned-out motor on an air conditioning unit.
Families for exchange students wanted
International Cultural Exchange Services (ICES) has added Christine Iacino as a new local coordinator. Iacino is currently looking for families that would like to host an international exchange student for the 2018-19 school year. Exchange students live as a member of the host family — not a guest or boarder. They participate in family activities, follow host family rules, and help with chores. Students have their own medical insurance and spending money to cover all personal expenses, while host families provide room and board and loving parental guidance. A6

Local students win top photography awards
Each year, the Photography Club of Beaufort encourages all local high school and home-schooled students to submit their best nature photograph in a competition created to honor the memory of Dale Westcott. More than 50 black and white and color photographs were submitted, then judged by club members and guest Atlanta photographer John Mariana. Awards were presented
May 14 by Barbara Westcott. The award is given in memory of her late husband, who was an educator and avid nature photographer. “Sunset on the May River,” by Bluffton High School sophomore Grayson Short, took home top honors in the Dale Westcott Nature Photography Contest. Ribbons and monetary prizes were also presented to the following students: Bluffton High junior Evan King took second place for “Weathered Artifacts,” third place was awarded to Battery Creek High School sophomore Ashley Guillot for "Untitled,” Bluffton High senior Alexis Vazquez received honorable mention for “Dock Sunset,” and Battery Creek senior Alaynee Gonzalez received honorable mention for “Winter Wonderland.” “The quality of images produced by our local teenagers gets better and better each year,” the club said in a release. The Photography Club of Beaufort meets the second Monday each month at 7 p.m. The next meeting will be held at the Technical College of the Lowcountry, Building 6, Room 108. The meetings are free and the public is invited to attend. For additional information please visit the club website at www.photoclubbeaufort.com.

Tips for Daily Prayer
“What’s for Dinner?” How to handle distractions in prayer Distractions are completely normal. It happens to all of us as we pray: we are spending time in prayer, enjoying a nice moment with the Lord, when all of a sudden we think, “I wonder what’s for dinner tonight?” These kind of distractions during prayer are normal, even for people who have a deep prayer life. It’s part of being human. So how do we deal with these distractions when they happen?
If it’s a visit from God, enjoy it. Sometimes what seems like a distraction at first is actually a visit from the Lord. If you think that this might be the case, then don’t rush on to the next part of your prayer. Instead, take some time to further explore how Jesus might be touching your heart. Enjoy being with him. When it seems that the visit has run its course, you can thank Jesus and continue your prayer time.
Ask yourself, “Is this a visit from God?” As we discussed in previous messages, God will often gently tug at your heart and mind while you pray. For example, he could bring to mind an event from the past so that you can talk to him about it. Or he could bring a coworker to mind so that you can pray for her or be inspired to reach out to her. Rather than being distractions, these sorts of moments could be a “visit” from Jesus, who is knocking on the door of your heart and waiting for you to invite him in.
If it’s a distraction, gently turn back. Many times we will experience a thought that is clearly an unhelpful distraction, like wondering about dinner. When this happens, don’t get alarmed or beat yourself up. Just try to gently turn your mind back to whatever you were praying about. It is similar to a mother in conversation with another adult. When her children rush up, trying to interrupt, she doesn’t make a big scene. She just gently tells them to run along and play, continuing her conversation with minimal disruption. Keep being faithful in prayer! When one first begins to build a daily prayer life, it is easy to get discouraged by distractions. You might assume that you’re not cut out for praying, but this isn’t the case! What pleases God is not that your prayer is perfect, but that you are seeking to draw closer to him. As you keep being faithful to your daily prayer time, distractions will gradually lessen and become easier to handle. Keep at it, God is worth it!

Firefighters rescue adventurous kitten
Everyone has heard of firefighters being asked to rescue cats from trees, but the City of Beaufort/Town of Port Royal Fire Department saved a kitten from a more surprising location last week.
After responding to 13 emergency calls throughout the day on Wednesday, May 16, Ladder Company 2 heard the doorbell and was met with an unusual request. The driver of a late model Chevy Suburban had stopped at Fire Station No. 2 on Ribaut Road and needed help, and firefighters Adam Jordan, Kyle Peeples, and Monica Perez answered the call. The driver reported driving down the road and hearing a kitten meowing. Upon inspecting the vehicle, Perez located a kitten near the passenger side front quarter panel of the car. “He looked up at me with eyes wide” Perez said. “It was clear that he was on quite the adventure.” The driver thanked the firefighters and was on his way, and the firefighters contacted Beaufort County Animal Control, who said

they would be out for the kitten in the morning. The firefighters found a box and some food and secured the kitten for the night in the bay of the station. When they went down to meet animal control the next morning, the kitten had escaped in search of more adventure. Following the faint sound of meowing, the firefighters lifted the cab on the reserve fire engine parked in the bay of the station and found their new friend nestled among the hoses, belts, oil, and grease.
Gullah Festival celebrates Beaufort's groundbreaking history Organizers of the 32nd Original Gullah Festival, which hits Beaufort from May 2527, are drawing parallels between the Lowcountry and the fictional land of Wakanda from the hit film Black Panther. Except where Hollywood has attempted to depict an important moment in black history, festival organizers say, Beaufort has experienced its authenticity for centuries. The music, performances, art, food, and friendly people of the Original Gullah Festival have attracted visitors to historic Beaufort every year since 1986 and this year’s event will not be an exception. The 2018 festival will focus on America’s Reconstruction Era from 1861 to 1898, during and after the Civil War. Beaufort is known as the “Queen of the Sea Islands” and is home to descendants of freed people who cherish their cultural bonds and shared history. Beaufort’s enslaved Africans were among the first to be freed on November 7, 1861,
during the Battle of Port Royal near Hilton Head Island in southern Beaufort County. It was known in the Gullah/Geechee community as “the day when big-gun done shoot.” Beaufort came under Union control just seven months after the Civil War began, and soon thousands of newly-freed Africans were integrated into established social, political, educational, and labor systems. This was not the norm in other parts of the nation and was just as futuristic in nature at the time as Wakanda seems on the big screen. Beaufort’s Robert Smalls was one of the first heroes of the Civil War – a former slave who confiscated a Confederate gunboat and sailed his family and black crew members to freedom across dangerous waters to a Union blockade. Gen. Smalls, who
was born in Beaufort on April 5, 1839, is revered in history as a champion for human rights. By commandeering the same boat on which he was a servant, he became the iconic symbol of Reconstruction. Gen. Smalls was later elected to Congress, became an advisor to President Abraham Lincoln and authored the Compulsory Education Act that gave access to free public education to all people. He also helped establish the United States Marine Corps Recruit Depot at Parris Island and accomplished much for the betterment of all Americans. Like Wakanda, Beaufort County and South Carolina boasted of wealth and advancements for blacks during Reconstruction. Penn School, Mather School and Beaufort County Normal Training Schools
were established to educate the newly freed people, and the state elected its first black Lieutenant Governor in 1870. The Sea Islands saw many historic moments marking the rise to freedom. They included the first public reading of The Emancipation Proclamation, the mustering of the United States Colored Troops (USCT), and the Combahee River Raid led by Harriet Tubman, who was known as “The Little General.” The raid freed more than 700 enslaved Africans in June 1863. Also, the first Memorial Day, originally known as Decoration Day, was established and celebrated by USCT and freedmen on May 1, 1865. Instead of heading to the movie theater this weekend, festival organizers hope folks will instead choose to spend time learning about the real-life superheroes who helped make Beaufort the Wakanda of the Gullah culture.
VOICES
Electing good people matters By Bill Rauch
Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling has apparently caught the fake news bug that’s going around Washington. One of my former city council colleagues sent me a copy of the mayor’s recent newsletter, which begins, “After ten plus years planning - stakeholder interviews and meetings ... Boundary Street is soon to be officially complete.” Why’s that fake news? Because the project’s planning and stakeholder meetings began in 2004 — 14 years ago, e.g. long before Keyserling was mayor — and the Dover, Kohl and Partners plan that calls for almost all of what has been built is dated June 2006. That’s twelve years ago ... also long before Keyserling was mayor, nor was the mayor on city council then. Don’t believe me? The plan is on the city’s website. The germ of the idea for a Boundary Street facelift to spur quality development and to dress up the city’s then-dreary entrance was Beaufort City Manager John McDonough’s in 2003 or 2004. I know. I was there, including when we put together the Land Acquisition Fund and Tax Increment Financing District II that together raised much of the needed money to do the job.
But kudos to Mayor Keyserling and City Council for putting the final funding package together, getting the permits, working on the under-grounding with the utilities, and bringing on Bill Rauch Neal Pugliese as project manager for the job, including doing an outstanding job working with the property owners. Now, please get to work on the parallel roadway and the third crossing before traffic on Boundary Street cancels out the newly-acquired gains. *** Speaking of McDonough, his departure from Beaufort was, it was well-known at the time, because he had grown weary of being publicly upbraided by then-City Councilman Gary Fordham. McDonough’s lovely wife, Tippi, and his family were very happy in Beaufort. But in 2006, after several unpleasant council sessions, he let it be known to a headhunter that he would entertain offers, and he was rapidly snapped up by the newly incorporated City of Sandy Springs, Georgia, an Atlanta suburb (population 101,908 in 2014, and with a budget last year of about $445 million, which is rough-
ly 20 times the size of Beaufort’s). Sandy Springs is writing the book on public-private partnerships and municipal service privatization, and McDonough has enjoyed a storied run of 12 years and counting as its city manager. How elected officials treat staff matters. Why do I mention this? Because a similar bright future awaits now-departing Acting Beaufort County Administrator Josh Gruber, who finally grew weary of being trashed by County Councilmember Steven Fobes (and the others in the Never Gruber Group of Six: Rick Caporale, Gerald Dawson, Mike Covert, York Glover Sr., and Brian Flewelling) and announced this week he’ll be moving on in August. With Gruber’s departure and the shakeup that will inevitably follow, there will no doubt be other upper management departures. Moreover, even with the long notice Gruber gave, its unlikely his replacement will be in place when he goes. There are some rocky times ahead for the county government. It’s tough to have to watch the good ones get chased out of town because good city managers and county administrators are hard to come by, and Beaufort County will have its hands full in a tight labor market
trying to attract someone good who’s willing to come work for a famously divided council. *** Speaking of divided councils, Beaufort County School District Chairman Earl Campbell and the five board members who have stuck with him and with Superintendent Jeff Moss (Bill Payne, Cynthia Gregory-Smalls, Geri Kinton, Evva Anderson, and Mary Cordray) finally read the handwriting on the wall and last week worked out a deal for Moss’ departure. The message had only pulsated mercilessly at them 24/7 in bright neon for twoplus years. Regrettably it took a couple of Ethics Board violations, a fine and a public reprimand, a still-ongoing FBI bid-rigging investigation including U.S. Attorney subpoenas for school board staffers, and two failed ballot measures to finally prompt them into action. Two-plus precious years were lost to that six’s weaknesses. And now they will have their hands full in a tight labor market trying to attract someone good who’s willing to come work for a famously divided school board.

Not quite a Lowcountry native yet It has been four years since I moved to Beaufort, and I still find myself striving to be a native. At some point, I want to stop screaming when I walk into a room and see a Palmetto Bug on the floor. “Really?” my husband asks. “The bug is upside down.” I explain to him that I am shocked at seeing it rather than scared, but it does not stop him from laughing at me. “You are in the South,” he says as if he were a local. Also, when will I learn to look at my watch when I am leaving the house? The town bridge opens on the half hour, and if I do not want to hit it, I should not go that way, especially with all the snowbirds heading north now. I attempt to slow down and enjoy the scenery just like a native but find myself frustrated instead. Then there are things like the sounds in the Lowcountry. Just recently I discovered that the duck sounds I have been hearing for years were frogs. “What? When did frogs start sounding like ducks? What happened to ‘ribbit, ribbit’?” I asked our friends who live on a pond.
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.
“You are in Beaufort now, and the sound is different,” they say knowingly, as if they have lived here forever. Of course, there are those times when I thought I knew what was going on around me, like when people ordered Arnold Palmers. I assumed it was an alcoholic drink, something many golfers drank when they came off the course. It was not until my husband ordered one that I found out the contents: lemonade and iced tea. Who knew? There are other things I have learned here that the locals already know, like – do not leave your phone on the dashboard of your car when it is 85 degrees outside. I learned this one when I retrieved my dead, very hot
phone. It took hours for me to cool it down and recharge it. Thank goodness, because
other people have said it ruined theirs. I was lucky. That is when I was advised not to leave my GPS on the dashboard either, as it also could become a casualty of the South Carolina sun. I will not even discuss the lesson regarding the candy bar disaster on the passenger seat. One of these days, I hope to have absorbed all the nuances of living in the South. Sometime soon, people might look to me for local knowledge, but for now I still remain a newbie in the Lowcountry.

Your first real responsibility drooled a lot. Which seems pretty manageable compared to having kids in college and aging parents to care for in
2018.
One minute you’re just a kid with a new dog. The next, life’s far more complicated. That’s why a Raymond James financial advisor will partner with you to build a plan that accounts for your increasingly complex financial needs. From tuition and senior care, to your own desire to enjoy the retirement lifestyle you’ve always wanted. LIFE WELL PLANNED.
