City honors visionary

Beaufort honors Chambers with sign in Waterfront Park

Former Mayor Billy Keyserling and current Mayor Stephen Murray on Friday draw back the cover Friday of the new signage welcoming visitors to Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park during a brief ceremony. Mayor Murray said the waterfront park was Chambers’ vision, calling it “a physical gem that has and will have generational impact.” Photos (including headshot to right) by Bob Sofaly.

From staff reports As the City pointed out in it’s media release last week, the Waterfront Park is Beaufort’s crown jewel – a place for residents and visitors to dine, play, gather, and immerse themselves in the beauty of the riverfront. On Friday, the City of Beaufort honored the man whose vision made the park happen, dedicating a new sign to former Mayor Henry C. Chambers in Waterfront Park.

Former Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling and the current mayor, Stephen Murray, unveiled the sign, which reads “Henry C. Chambers Park,” leaving “Waterfront” out of the title. The sign is far more prominent than the plaque erected Henry C. when the 7-acre park Chambers opened in 1979. Chamber’s son, Bill, an architect, designed the bronze lettering that is affixed to the wall. The cost of the memorial is approximately $10,000, and was funded through the City’s

Council removes Greenway’s interim title Decision to make him Administrator unanimous

From beneath a canopy of tall pines just off the side of the road came two majestic white horses, wearing black sashes. With traffic stopped in both directions, the magnificent looking animals took a few tentative steps forward then entered the roadway. Farther down the line as cars and trucks began stacking up, drivers began to slow on

A funeral procession on St. Helena Island stopped traffic on a recent Wednesday morning and we were all the more blessed for it traffic may have been struck by the sheer number of people in attendance. Hundreds of friends, family members and neighbors, many dressed in white, poured in for the outdoor service held at Simmons’ modest home just off Mattis Drive. But what was even more striking was another sight that began to unfold in front of all us “stuck in traffic” that morning.

From staff reports Beaufort County Council unanimously named Eric Greenway Beaufort County Administrator at Monday evening's County Council meeting. Greenway had been serving as Interim County Administrator since November 2020. "Mr. Greenway has brought stability, increased morale and has demonstrated a depth and breadth of knowledge and experience needed for this position," County Council Chairman Joseph Passiment said. "During this time, we have been able to assess his performance and potential, which takes the guesswork out of the hiring process at this time." The decision came after a twohour executive session. Greenway has more than 26 years of experience managing, directing, and administering programs related to finance, land use, infrastructure, real estate development planning, entitlement, disaster recovery, and permitting. As Interim Administrator, Greenway worked with staff and County Council through the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. “I am humbled by the opportunity to serve this Council and the citizens as the County Administrator," Greenway said. "It is an honor to serve in such an amazingly beautiful place among amazingly beautiful people. I want to express my appreciation to the Council and my

It’s official: Cummings Tokyo-bound

Beaufort’s 20-year-old weightlifting phenom named to US Olympic Team

By Mike McCombs It was a forgone conclusion but it became official last week: C.J. Cummings is Tokyo-bound. When USA Weightlifting announced its eight-person team for the 2020 Summer Olympic Games (July 23-Aug. 8, Tokyo) on Wednesday, May 19, Cummings name was

on the list. The youngest member of Team USA, Cummings, 20, was a favorite to make the team last year before the COVID-19 pandemic postponed the XXXII Olympic Summer Games to this summer. “I’m from a small town where there’s barely any opportunity, so this opportunity for exposure and to go represent my country at the Olympics is a huge honor, not only for me but for my family, country and small town,” Cummings said in his Team USA bio on TeamUSA.org. A four-time consecutive Junior

world Champion, two-time Youth World Champion and holder of three International Weightlifting Federation World Records and 23 American records, Cummings was all but a lock to make the team. On Tuesday night before the announcement, Team Divergent Coach Ray Jones expressed “100 percent” confidence Cummings was on the team and didn’t plan to watch the announcement on Wednesday. Cummings’ father, Clarence Cummings Sr., said Wednesday,

BEAUFORT t’s budget time for local governments. And while the prospects of studying spread sheets and data reports may strike some as interesting as watching grass grow, this is where the proverbial rubber hits the road in terms of setting taxes which will cover desired services while keeping taxes down so more folks will flock down here for our “cheap taxes.” (According to a website called Wallethub.com, South Carolina has the sixth lowest property taxes in the country, based on median home prices. But on the other hand, Tax-Rates.org reports Beaufort County collected the highest annual property taxes in the state. Chesterfield has

Whoa-ho! Budget talks! LOLITA HUCKABY

lowest property taxes if you’re considering a move for that one reason.) All these numbers aside, watching local elected officials set a spending plan for the coming year is not an easy process, although every year the individual finance officers try new presentations to make understanding easier. Beaufort County School District, for example, this year

decided to host a YouTube budget forum – https://www. youtube.com/watch?v=WDXEM7HLkIU&t=6s – so citizens can see where the proposed $274.2 million will be spent. Taxpayers, spectators to the process, can take a look at budget documents on the county and municipalities websites. You can watch the process on the County Channel or Facebook. You only have until the end of June because the spending plans have to be finished by July 1, the start of a new fiscal year. The bottom line? We want to know what the bill is going to be in the fall … and will city residents still get garbage pickup? Will we have enough police officers and fire personnel to protect the

growing number of homes being built?

Former County Administrator heads north BEAUFORT – In case you wondering who’s calling the shots over the Beaufort County budget…and operations … it’s not Ashley Jacobs. Jacobs “resigned” last October over friction with the County Council, but she’s still on the county payroll, due to her separation agreement. That all changes as of midJune when she goes to work for the Wake County, N.C., government as information and innovation officer. Beaufort County is now being directed by no-longer-interim Administrator Eric Greenway, who was previously planning director.

Update on downtown lawsuits BEAUFORT – Responses to a lawsuit challenging plans for a Craven Street parking garage, Scott Street hotel and Charles Street apartment building have been filed moving legal action on the developments a step further. Columbia attorneys Benjamin Nicholson and Wade Leach, representing Dick Stewart’s 303 Associates and the Beaufort Inn, in a response to the suit filed by Graham Trask, argue the projects are grandfathered under the city’s development code and, among other things, the plaintiff lacks legal standing in the issue. Trask owns several properties in the downtown area

including lots adjacent to the proposed four-story hotel. The city’s response from attorney Bill Harvey contends the plaintiff, Trask, knew about the plans and did not object to them earlier. The National Park Service has also entered into the debate with the announcement that it plans to look into whether the city’s designation on the National Register of Historic Places is being threatened by the proposed building.

Rodney Atkins to headline 2021 Water Festival concert

From staff reports If it feels like you’ve heard this before, it’s because you have. Country star Rodney Atkins will headline this year’s Beaufort Water Festival concert Saturday, July 17, at the Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park. Opening for the evening will be Scott Stevens, followed by Lainey Wilson as the second act. It’s the same lineup announced for last year’s Water Festival before it was canceled because of COVID-19. Atkins, the 2006 Academy of Country Music’s Top New Male Vocalist, has sold more than 13 million albums

and produced six No. 1 singles on the Billboard Hot Country 100 charts (If You’re Going Through Hell (Before the Devil Even Knows, 2006; Watching You, 2007; These Are My People, 2007; Cleaning This Gun (Come On In Boy), 2008; It’s America, 2009; and Take a Back Road, 2011). His single Watching You was the No. 1 Song of the Decade according to Country Aircheck. Though he began recording in 1997, he didn’t release his first album until 2003’s Honesty. His other albums include 2006’s If You’re Going Through Hell, 2009’s It’s America and 2011’s Take a Back Road.

65TH ANNUAL BEAUFORT WATER FESTIVAL “What a Beautiful Sight” July 16-25, Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park

His latest studio album, 2019’s Caught Up in the Country, was his first release in seven years. Atkins believes it’s the most daring collection of his career, touching on emotions and sounds which will continue to expand his range — from the twangy title track to the slow-burn cover of Jason Isbell’s Cover Me Up. “I’ve never taken it lightly,” he said in a release last year,

Rodney Atkins. Photo provided. “but with some of the other albums, I got to take my time for part of the album. But then

when you get that first single finished, you gotta go, and you start working at a faster

pace for the second half of the album. This time, I got to take that time with every song.”

from page A1 approach as if recognizing the solemn moment for what it was and wanting to soften the noise of their engines as best as they could. Radios were turned off, windows were lowered and some drivers even seemed to bow their heads. As the horses clip-clopped their way across the highway, the all-white, glass-enclosed carriage carrying a white casket followed behind them. Behind it walked the pallbearers. The glass of the hearse gleamed and sparkled in the morning sun, and the scene, framed by live oaks laden with Spanish Moss, was otherworldly. It was also haunting and beautiful and sad all at once. Watching the scene unfold from behind the wheel of my car, I was not only awestruck, I wanted to know who this solemn procession was for and who this person had been. Because as you’ve probably guessed by now, up until Wednesday, I didn’t know the first thing about Lucinda Simmons. An exception to the rule Journalists are trained to be objective in their work, but that doesn’t mean we are without emotion. Sitting in traffic that morning, I had a lump in my throat. How could you not? We are also trained never to insert ourselves into a story, something that’s become rarer these days as social media – with its heightened state of emotion and self-aggrandizing nature – has become the norm, rather than an exception to the rule. But for this story, call it a column if you will, I’m making an exception, because it’s just as important to know how the story came about as it is to know who it’s about. And because I have a hunch, or call it a strong feeling, Ms. Simmons had something to do with that as well. So like many who may have sat in traffic there on the highway Wednesday morning, wondering who she was or what was happening, I decided to find out what I could and maybe tell her story. A wife, a mother, a friend and neighbor If you’re looking for a love story, you’ve come to the right place. Born in 1925, to Frank and Lucy Johnson, Lucinda Johnson was the youngest of four children. As a teenager, Lucinda’s first job was in the laundry department on Parris Island. It was there that she met Charlie Simmons, a carpenter and later a veteran having served in the United States Army. It was love at first sight, at least for him anyway, Simmons’ daughter Valerie Langhorn said by phone recently. As the story goes, he had to work a little for her love and attention.

“He had to work for some days or weeks,” she said, laughing. “I don’t know if it went into months, but it was for awhile. I mean look at her at that age.” Lucinda Johnson was a knockout. Fortunately, Charlie Simmons didn’t have to wait forever. The two were married in 1943, their union producing four boys, Charlie Jr., David, Daniel and Raymond, and three girls, Lucy, Valerie and Gwendolyn. There was also Marjorie, Charlie’s oldest child, and Bryan, a grandson, they raised as their own. If you’re looking for a story about love and devotion to one’s family, Lucinda Simmons had that too. “Mother Simmons” or “Mother Lu” as she was known to her friends, cherished her extended family. In fact, 17 grandchildren, 26 great grandchildren and 11 great great grandchildren called her either Grandma, Grandma Simmons or Granny Grand, not to mention the many nieces and nephews too. For five generations, she was always there, keeping tabs with lives of her growing family either by phone or in person, and when she died they came quickly and without hesitation from all over – New York, Boston, Virginia, Florida, Georgia, Pennsylvania and of course South Carolina. If you’re looking for a story about faith and service, you needn’t look any further. Simmons was devoted to her church, Oaks True Holiness, where she sat on various boards and faithfully attended Sunday prayer, Sunday school and service, Wednesday noonday prayer, Bible study and Friday night services, not to mention revivals and special services. But Simmons didn’t give lip service to her faith. She lived it. After working at Garland Knitting Mills in the early ‘70s, then later as a private caretaker caring for people, she went on to volunteer at Beaufort Memorial Hospital for 10 years. “While dad taught us the importance of hard work and maintaining integrity in all we do, mom taught us the importance of education, honesty, maintaining good character, love for others and acknowl-

both Pringle and Treloar said. Lucinda Simmons died on a Thursday evening, just after her loved ones said their final words. She was 95. Sending her to heaven As the horses entered the yard of the Simmons’ home, a long line of mourners or those paying their respects fell in behind the carriage. They circled the house and came to a stop where her casket was unloaded for the noon service. It was a beautiful service, I am told, filled with scripture readings, kind words spoken by friends, a eulogy by Columbia pastor and Senator Darrell Jackson and singing by American Idol’s Season 12 winner Candice Glover, who flew in just for the service. I am told this is what happened because I didn’t stay for the service attended by more than 300 people. I felt it would be intruding on a private family affair, though as one mourner assured me as I stood close to the road, Simmons would have invited me in. “This is a very public event,” she said. Instead, I watched from the edge of the property as the service got started then excused myself. Across the road, I made small talk with Bridger Medlin, the coachman, who was packing up to go home.

edging God in all our ways,” Langhorn wrote in the funeral program. There are so many more stories and things that could be shared about the life and times of Lucinda Simmons. Like the fact that she loved hats and was an impeccable dresser. Or that she had a great sense of humor and loved to read – particularly poetry. Or that she loved to feed and host people. But most important of all, Simmons lived her life with grace and meaning, taking time to … well, just be, whether that meant as a wife, a mother, a friend or a neighbor. “That’s my other mother,” said family friend Theresa Pringle, who dropped by Simmons’ house a few days after the funeral. As we sat on the screenedin porch of the house that Charlie Simmons built, Pringle and another family friend, Charmaine Treloar, and Simmons’ oldest daughter, Lucy Simmons, took turns sharing stories about “Mother Simmons.” They recounted how funny she could be, how she enjoyed driving to see friends well into her 90s, and how she enjoyed visiting with the Franciscan sisters just down the road at the St. Francis Center and Thrift Shop. “She was just a nice lady,”

SC’s shellfish harvest season closed

South Carolina’s 2020-2021 season for harvest of oysters, mussels, clams and all other bivalves from State Shellfish Grounds and Public Shellfish Grounds closed on Tuesday, May 25, at one half hour after official sunset, according to South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) officials. Because higher bacterial levels occur when water temperatures exceed 80 degrees Fahrenheit, shellfish harvesting during the summer months is limited to commercial harvesters who can meet rigorous handling requirements. Coastal waters will remain closed to recreational shellfish harvesting until the fall, when water temperatures begin to cool and ensure that

shellfish are once again safe for harvesting and consumption. Shellfish harvesting is expected to reopen Oct. 1.

The carriage was actually a hearse, he explained. A caisson is open while a hearse, such as the one that carried Ms. Simmons, is closed. Based in Charlotte, N.C., Medlin’s company does probably five or six horse-drawn events a week, but he prefers funerals to weddings, he said, a response that surprised me. He said he’d rather do a funeral because people are usually appreciative of life in a different way than they sometimes are at weddings. “I would rather do that than work with some brides who are more worried if the potato salad turned out alright,” he said, with the smile of someone who learned a long time ago not to sweat the small stuff. “(At funerals) you see people for who they really are then,” he said. “And the family’s hearts are open.” The horse-drawn hearse was the children’s idea as was the wearing of white, I found out a few days later as I sat talking with Lucy Simmons at her late parent’s house. “We made sure she was sent to heaven in the way she wanted to be sent,” she said. Daughter Valerie Langhorn laughed and called her The Queen. “She wasn’t just the matriarch of the family,” she said. “She was the Queen. I can guarantee you that.” Her final act It can be easy to forget. There are bills to pay, children to raise and jobs to go to.

far as I got. When I got home I looked up the rest. The Carriage held but just Ourselves – And Immortality. It’s become fashionable for people to say they’re trying to “be more present” or “live in the moment” which I guess means they are looking at moments spent with their family, or things that mean something to them, with greater awareness. All good things, but it’s hard to strike a balance between making the most of each day and doing what you need to do to get by. In fact, I’d say it’s damn near impossible, if not impractical, to “live each day as if it were your last.” After all we still have responsibilities to fulfill, work to do and miles to go before we sleep. Whether we feel enriched or not, fulfilled or not, for better or for worse our lives go on in all their imperfect glory. And yet, there are times when something comes along to remind us of something bigger than ourselves. Like the fact that life can be so short. Even the very old will tell you that’s how it is. That it seems to pass in the blink of an eye. As I sat behind the wheel of my car that morning, watching Ms. Simmons’ hearse cross the road, I wondered if our lives passed by or “transitioning to heaven” as it is called in our part of the world, is as easy as all that. Like crossing a road. One day you’re standing on one side among the living, the next you’re crossing over, so to speak. Whatever the case may be, I know this. Lucinda Simmons stopped traffic that day. All those drivers going about their business, heading to work or out to the beach maybe. Wherever and whatever they were going to, their lives came to a halt, if only for a few minutes, for Ms. Simmons’ departure. Call it her final act of service, but it was a reminder. Whether it was to remember to live your life, and truly live it if you can, or that it can be over in the blink of an eye, it was a reminder. And what I didn’t know then that I know now, was that we weren’t just watching the life of a dearly departed loved one on her way to her final resting place, we were watching a life unfolding as she crossed. A life of love and devotion, of work and faith, of boredom undoubtedly punctuated with moments of great joy and yes, sorrow and loss.

families balancing work, childcare, and in-person schooling. Those new burdens landed squarely on the shoulders of mothers,” Founder and President of FWDG Larry Mark said in a release. “We were eager to celebrate Moms this Mother’s Day, since they have served as caregivers, teachers, and earners. Our donations are intended to alleviate one of the more expensive costs for Moms: diapers.” Diapers are as vital to a child's well-being and health just as much as food, shelter, and affection. Lack of access to diapers forces families to leave a child in a soiled diaper longer than appropriate, which can lead to diaper rash and may cause staph and urinary tract infections. FWDG’s donation will help purchase several cases of diapers for vulnerable local families.

City of Beaufort files a response to lawsuit

From staff reports The City of Beaufort filed a response May 24 to a lawsuit brought against it by West Street Farms LLC and Mix Farms LLC regarding hotel, parking, and apartment projects in downtown Beaufort. The projects include a hotel project by the Beaufort Inn LLC at the corner of Scott and Port Republic Streets, a parking structure on Craven Street, and an apartment project on Charles Street. All three projects have been developed by 303 Associates LLC. The lawsuit asks that work be stopped on all the projects

and that they first obtain a “Special Exception” zoning approval by the City’s Zoning Board of Appeals for so-called large footprint buildings. The Beaufort Development Code, which was adopted on June 27, 2017, defines large footprint buildings as exceeding 100 linear feet in width. The code requires a Special Exception approval for large footprint buildings in the Historic District. Since the Charles Street apartment project was not submitted to the City until recently, Beaufort City Council believes that this project must receive Special Excep-

tion zoning approval by the ZBOA – if the plans for the apartment building meet the definition of a large footprint building. However, the applications for both the hotel and parking projects were submitted to the City of Beaufort and the Historic District Review Board in 2016 and 2017, when the City operated under the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). The UDO did not require that the Zoning Board of Appeals issue a Special Exception zoning approval for large footprint buildings in the Historic District. Under the UDO, when the

proposed use is allowed by existing zoning, the only approval required for projects in the Historic District is by the City’s Historic Development Review Board (HDRB). The HDRB gave various approvals for the hotel and parking structure projects under the UDO. Demolition permits were issued by the City in connection with these projects as well. 303 Associates relied on these approvals and permits as it spent funds to proceed with the demolitions and relocation. In filing its response, the City made note of rulings from South Carolina appel-

late courts, including a recent one that said: “A landowner will be held to have acquired a vested right to continue and complete construction of a building or structure and to initiate and continue a use, despite a restriction contained in an ordinance or an amendment thereof where, prior to the effective date of the legislation and in reliance upon a permit validly issued, he has, in good faith, (1) made a substantial change of position in relation to the land, (2) made substantial expenditures, or (3) incurred substantial obligations.” Taking into consideration

the timeline of the applications, approvals, and agreements, City Council believes that Beaufort Inn LLC and 303 Associates LLC have acquired “vested rights” to continue and complete the hotel project and the parking structure project under the guidelines and restrictions of the Unified Development Ordinance. City Attorney William Harvey, who filed the response, said, “This recognizes the rights of a developer to continue and complete these projects under the guidelines and restrictions in place when these rights were acquired.”

Salvation Army food giveaway turns no one away

By Bob Sofaly In a warm but shady parking lot on North Street last week, a few staff members of the Salvation Army of the Lowcountry teamed up to give away more than 16,000 pounds of fresh local produce and dry goods to local families with no strings attached. The food was there for anyone who needed it and free of charge. Social Service Director Jennifer Bustamante of the Salvation Army said they had eight pallets of fresh food and 200 boxes of assorted dry goods to give away to anyone who needed it, regardless of social status or

how big their family was. “We served about 175 families so far,” she said, mid-day Tuesday. “I suspect we’ll be out of food by the end of the day.” There were no stipulations, no list or restrictions. Just show up with a picture I.D. “All walks of life came through today,” Bustamante said. Some were regular clients. Others were neighbors living on North Street. Still others were simply people who had heard of the giveaway and were curious. Bustamante said, “We’re trying to do the most good by delivering hope, serving one (person) at a time.”

Jennifer Bustamante, right, and Cynthia Jenkins of the Salvation Army load fresh groceries into the trunk of a car Tuesday, May 18, at the Salvation Army facility on North Street. Bustamante said by mid-day, 175 families had been served. “We’ll stop giving away food when we run out,” she said.

Fire displaces Burton family

From staff reports Early Saturday morning, the Burton Fire District, MCAS Fire Department, Beaufort County EMS and Sheriff’s Office, responded to house fire in the Independent Mobile Home Park on Shanklin Rd., which displaced a family of three. Just after 4 a.m., emergency crews responded to a reported house fire in the Independent Mobile Home Park. The caller stated a bedroom was on fire and everyone had evacuated the home. Sheriff’s deputies arrived first and advised flames were coming from the home, and that they we evacuating the neighboring residence as well. Firefighters arrived on scene and found flames coming from a window. Fire crews

quickly made entry into the home and extinguished the fire which was located in a bedroom. The family had closed the bedroom door as they fled the home which helped confine the fire to that room; however, there was smoke damage throughout the rest of the home. The family had smoke alarms in the home, but they appeared to not have been working. No injuries were reported. The fire is believed to have been caused by a candle in the bedroom. The Red Cross is assisting the family of three – two adults and a child – that was displaced. The adult male in the home woke up to the sounds of fire and was able to alert the rest of

the family. “Not only do smoke alarms alert you to get out of your home, but they also will give you early notification of the fire which can significantly help limit damages,” Burton Battalion Chief Matt Maichel, who was in charge of the scene, said in a release. Burton officials advise all citizens to check their smoke alarms, ensure they are less than 10 years old, have a battery, and that they are working and placed properly. The Burton Fire District provides free smoke alarms to Burton residents upon request, or will come and inspect the ones you have. Residents wishing to get a smoke alarm, or need assistance, can call the Burton Fire District at 843-2558011 or email safetyed@burtonfd.org.

Kathy Carter and David Wilhelm were among more than a dozen volunteers that turned out Saturday morning to help pick up trash that might have otherwise ended up in the headwaters of Battery Creek. The clean-up was sponsored by the South Carolina Coastal Conservation League and the Port Royal Sound Maritime Center. The effort produced old tires, building debris and a plethora of disposable fast-food trash. Photos by Lolita Huckaby.

BUSINESS

Streamlining and Simplifying Your Charitable Giving

Presented by Fred Gaskin

P

riorities shift as you age. No big surprise there. As a Schwab Financial Consultant, I’ve seen an uptick in clients, particularly Baby Boomers, striving to be good stewards of their assets. Many support causes they believe in and are eager to learn how to incorporate charitable giving goals into their broader, long-term financial plans. We find that helping clients develop a thoughtful charitable giving strategy can lead to more impactful giving, as well as smart tax savings. One of the most common ways my clients choose to

make the most of their giving is through a donor-advised fund, which is a private fund administered by a third party on behalf of donors, for the purpose of managing charitable donations. You can open this type of account with a tax-deductible contribution and then request grants to public charities over time. The contributions are irrevocable, but you pick the charities that will benefit, as long as they are 501(c)(3) organizations. You can contribute a variety of tax-deductible assets, including appreciated securities, real estate and cash, and the fund sponsor handles the administrative details.

For clients who are interested in making meaningful contributions while also adding another source of retirement income, charitable remainder trusts may be an appropriate choice. A charitable remainder trust is an irrevocable trust that you set up and make a contribution to in cash, investments or property. The trust provides you and other income beneficiaries you may select with distributions from the trust annually for life or a period of time up to 20 years. After that period, the remainder of the trust passes to the named charity. There are various types of charitable trusts, and the rules governing them can

be complex, so they can be expensive to set up and will require an attorney to draft the trust document. There are a number of additional vehicles to carry out your giving goals as well. But remember, if you make charitable donations with a more holistic plan in place, you will likely have a better impact on the organizations you donate to and your overall financial picture. And as you consider where to make your donations, check an organization’s tax status. Nearly all 501(c)(3) organizations are eligible to receive tax-deductible contributions, but it’s always best to ask the charity you plan to donate to about its

years of experience helping clients achieve their financial goals. Some content provided here has been compiled from previously published articles authored by various parties at Schwab. For more information visit www. schwab.com/bluffton or call (843) 473-3620.

tax status or you can check the IRS’ online databased for qualified organizations. As I’ve pointed out in prior columns, the hardest part for most clients in these situations is just getting started. Investing a little bit of time organizing your charitable giving process can make a great impact over time. Additionally, you’ll realize that by thoughtfully considering your charitable giving process, you’ll have more confidence and importantly, a better understanding of what you need to do to manage your future.

Healed by God Anointing of the Sick

During his ministry, Jesus had great compassion for the sick. When he encountered people who suffered from serious illness or physical affliction, Jesus would take time to speak with them and give them comfort. He miraculously healed many who were on the brink of death, instantly taking away their illness. He gave sight to the blind, made the deaf hear, cleansed those with leprosy, and enabled the lame to walk. (Matthew 11:5) Since he was God in our midst, Jesus healed with divine power. At times, he worked these miracles with merely a word of command, but often his words of healing were accompanied by physical elements, such as when he made clay and placed it on the eyes of the man born blind. (John 9) These healings were signs pointing to the more important spiritual healing he had come to do, to free humanity from the eternal death caused by sin.

Jesus sent out the apostles to heal in his name. During his ministry, Jesus sent his disciples to teach and heal in his name. “They went out and preached that men should repent. They cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were sick and healed them.” (Mark 6:12-13) And before he returned to heaven, Jesus commanded the apostles to continue this ministry, promising that in his name they will lay their hands on the sick, and the sick will recover. (Mark 16:18) In the early Church, the apostles continued to heal. In the New Testament, James writes, “Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well, and the Lord will raise them up. If he has committed any sins, he will be forgiven.” (James 5:14-15) The word “elders” is what later became translated as “priests.” The oil mentioned is olive oil, used in biblical times as a medicinal ointment. We call this the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick. The gift described by James has been passed down through the centuries, and it is now known as Anointing of the Sick. It is usually requested when a Catholic is sick with a serious illness or about to undergo a life-threatening surgery. The priest prays with the sick person, asks God’s healing through the laying on of hands, and anoints them on the forehead and hands with olive oil that has been specially blessed for this purpose. Jesus continues his healing ministry among us today. Sometimes Jesus works a miracle of physical healing through Anointing of the Sick, to the astonishment of the doctors and nurses! But more often, he gives strength to endure one’s sufferings with patience and love. If the sick persons are unconscious or otherwise unable to confess their sins, the Lord also forgives their sins and gives them spiritual healing. Through his family of faith, the Church, Jesus is still caring for the sick with great love and compassion.

EDUCATION

Beaufort Academy valedictorian headed to Vanderbilt

From staff reports Emilie Claire Nason, the 2021 Valedictorian of Beaufort Academy’s 53rd graduating class, will attend Vanderbilt University this fall, one of the nation’s top ranked colleges and universities. “This year’s admitted students were selected from an incredibly talented applicant pool, which will result in one of the strongest academic profiles ever,” quoted from Vanderbilt’s Admissions website. (admissions.vanderbilt. edu) “With a slim 6.7% acceptance rate, Vanderbilt’s admissions process is highly selective, focusing on the applicant’s academic achievement, extracurricular engage-

ment, personal essays, rigor of coursework and letters of recommendation.” Emilie Claire Nason will Nason join her fellow Commodores in Nashville to study sociology and public policy. Beaufort Academy Head of School, Dan Durbin said, “Emily Claire’s hard work and commitment to academic excellence laid the foundation for her acceptance to Vanderbilt. That same drive will lead to even greater opportunities through college and beyond.” In her four years at Beau-

fort Academy, Nason availed herself of the most rigorous classes available as her transcript and resume demonstrates. With a GPA of 4.99, she earned many academic achievements including AP Scholar, Headmaster’s List, and departmental awards in Spanish, History and English. Nason is a member of The National Honor Society and National Spanish Honor Society and has been an active member of the Speech and Debate Team since its inception where she placed second in the Mauldin Tournament for poetry. She was a member of the yearbook staff and became the editor of 2019-2020 Aquila in her Junior year. She

also was recognized as the local winner of the American Legion Oratorical Contest and third-place winner regionally. To feed her passion for writing, Nason attended Georgetown University’s Creative Writing Summer Program and was selected to attend South Carolina Governor’s School Creative Writing Summer Immersion program, a program notoriously difficult to gain admission to. Beyond the realm of academics, she also excelled in sports and extracurriculars. Nason was a member of two varsity SCISA state championship teams; volleyball and tennis.

Nason interacted with peers across the world at numerous academic, leadership and athletic programs. She participated in the Vanderbilt National Student Leadership Conference and Wake Forest Debate Camp. “After attending Vanderbilt’s Leadership Intensive program, I knew Vanderbilt was my dream school,'' Nason said. “I am grateful to several of my teachers who gave extra time and attention to help me gain admission to my dream school.” Vanderbilt University is highly regarded for its small class sizes and small student-to-faculty ratio, an academic environment that Na-

son has been accustomed to at Beaufort Academy. Nason’s parents, Allen and Emily Nason, credit Emilie Claire’s work ethic and the opportunities Beaufort Academy afforded her – such as Speech and Debate, mock trial, independent study classes to advance her passions, nominations for coveted summer programs, and teachers who gave of themselves when they didn’t have to – for her success. They also said top 10 statewide rankings on Niche made Beaufort Academy instantly credible to the top schools Nason applied to, which provided a definite competitive advantage.

Holy Trinity launches $7 million Campus Vision campaign

Campaign will fund new Center for the Arts, Athletics, and Fellowship

From staff reports In a recent communication to parents, grandparents, and key stakeholders, Celeste Pruit, Director of Advancement for Holy Trinity Classical Christian School, shared details of the school’s Campus Vision Campaign More than $5.4 million has already been pledged toward the campaign’s $7 million goal.

A building for Arts, Athletics, and Fellowship will be the centerpiece of Phase I of Holy Trinity’s long-term campus vision plan. This structure will include performing arts classrooms, a full-size stage, a weight room and competition gymnasium, multi-purpose spaces, and, perhaps, most importantly, space large enough for the entire Holy Trinity community — students and their families — to gather for chapel, celebrations, and other events. In Holy Trinity’ first nine years, the school has invested heavily in establishing top notch academic, arts and

athletic programs, and that investment is paying dividends. In August of 2020, Holy Trinity purchased its permanent home at 302 Burroughs Avenue in the heart of the city of Beaufort. This enables the school to be accessible to both neighborhood children and to those families who drive in from neighboring counties. The Campus Vision Campaign is led by a team of volunteers and is co-chaired by Barbara and Bishop Alden Hathaway, Sharon and Mac Sanders, and Gloria and Chuck Dalvini. “The target of this campaign is to enhance our ability

USCB’s Montie wins Governor’s Award for his researchers From staff reports Eric W. Montie, PhD., a member of the Department of Natural Sciences at the University of South Carolina Beaufort, received a 2021 Governor’s Award for Excellence in Scientific Research at a Predominately Undergraduate Institution. This statewide award recognizes Montie’s strong research program in soundscape ecology, which focuses on estuaries. He helps to develop the next generation of scientists by involving undergraduate students in his research. Since 2013, Montie’s lab has been recording the underwater soundscape of the May River in Bluffton. From 2017 to 2019, his team expanded soundscape monitoring to Charleston Harbor,

C he c he s se e Creek, Colleton River, and the North Inlet-Winyah Bay NationEric W. al Estuarine Montie, Research RePhD. serve. In 2020, NOAA Integrated Ocean Observing Systems (IOOS) and the Southeast Coastal Ocean Observing Regional Association (SECOORA) invested in his lab, and he founded the “Estuarine Soundscape Observatory Network in the Southeast” (ESONS). The Spring Island Trust also supports his research. Montie and his students use acoustic recorders to capture the underwater soundscape. Their record-

ings provide information on the behavior of snapping shrimp, spawning patterns of fish, foraging patterns and communication of bottlenose dolphins, and noise levels associated with human activity. The long-term goal is to ‘eavesdrop’ on key behaviors of marine animals that can change rapidly or gradually in response to environmental changes and human impacts, thus providing a measure of resilience or shifting baselines in a globally changing environment. Montie’s doctorate is from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology/Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Joint Program in Biological Oceanography. He has taught at USC Beaufort since 2011.

Home remedies backed by science Some home remedies are supported by science, while others are tall tales. A doctor tells us what works—according to scientific research.

Most of us have tried a home remedy at some point—some work and some don’t. According to Elizabeth Kightlinger, MD, an internal medicine physician with Cleveland Clinic, one home remedy backed by science is using duct tape to remove a wart. “You want to put it on the wart and you want to leave it on for about six days,” she said. “You want to give it substantial time to have an occlusive

property over that wart. Take it off, scrub it. Then you want to reapply the tape again and leave it on for another six days and repeat this process.” And it looks like grandma was right. Research suggests chicken soup can be good for a cold. “The chicken noodle soup actually increased the velocity of movement of the mucus in your nose better compared to hot water and better compared to cold water,” said Dr. Kightlinger. “So, there actually is science that it may relieve some of that congestion and mucus and make you feel better.” If you have a cough, research shows honey may help. “There are a lot of studies that found that giving a couple of teaspoons of honey at night

can actually reduce symptoms, reduce coughing, and improve sleep,” Dr. Kightlinger said. “The last point I want to make about the honey, is you always want to make sure you’re not giving it to anyone younger than one year of age because honey does have a risk of infant botulism, which is a very serious disease.” For those dealing with tummy troubles, products containing ginger can provide relief. “There’s a lot of data showing that it actually can be quite effective for nausea,” said Dr. Kightlinger. “There are studies that have used it in pregnant women and chemotherapy patients and the overall trend was that these are helpful medications.” If you’re reaching for an

herbal medicine, be sure to talk with your healthcare provider first. Some can interact with certain medical conditions and medications. It’s best to forgo home remedies if you’re in severe pain, having trouble breathing, or if you’re not able to eat, drink or keep fluids down. Dr. Kightlinger recommends contacting your doctor if the home remedy you’re using isn’t working, if it’s making your ailment worse or if you develop new symptoms.

Breaking bad habits: Why it's so hard to change If something's bad for you—drug and alcohol abuse, smoking, excess weight— why can't you just stop? National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded scientists have found clues to why bad habits are so difficult to kick. And they're developing strategies to help us change. Habits play an important role in our health. Understanding the biology of harmful routines, and how to break them and embrace new ones, could help us adopt healthier behaviors. Habits can arise through repetition. They are normal and often helpful. We shower, comb our hair, or brush our teeth without being aware of it. This frees our brains to focus on different things. Habits can also develop by triggering the brain's "reward" centers, setting up potentially harmful routines, such as overeating, smoking, drug or alcohol abuse, gambling and even compulsive use of computers and social media. Neurobiologists often point out that enjoyable behaviors can release a brain chemical called dopamine. Dopamine strengthens the

habit even more. This explains why some people crave drugs, even if they no longer feel particularly good once they take them. The good news is that humans are not simply creatures of habit. “Humans are much better than any other animal at changing and orienting behavior toward long-term goals or benefits," say psychologists. They’ve found that you can improve your self-control by doing appropriate exercises over time, although they note there's no single effective way to break bad habits. One important approach is to become more aware of unhealthy habits, then develop strategies to counteract them: avoid walking halls where there's a candy machine; avoid places where you've usually smoked; stay away from friends and situations linked to problem drinking or drug use. Another helpful technique is to mentally practice the good behavior over the bad. It's not guaranteed to work, but it certainly can help. Some people find they can replace a bad habit, even

drug addiction, with another behavior, like exercising. It doesn't work for everyone. But certain patients can engage in behaviors that are ritualistic and in a way compulsive—such as marathon running or organized sports, for example. Replacing a first-learned habit doesn't erase the original behavior. But you can strengthen the new one and suppress the original. Scientists are using brain imaging to study the differences between first- and later-learned behaviors to find a way to train people to improve their ability to maintain these behavioral changes. Some NIH-funded research is exploring whether certain medications can help to disrupt hard-wired behaviors and make it easier to form new ones. Scientists also are seeking genes that might allow people to easily form or readily suppress habits. Bad habits may be hard to change, but it can be done. Enlist the help of friends, co-workers and family.

Break Bad Habits

• Avoid temptations. If you always stop for a donut on your way to work, try a different route. Keep fatty foods, cigarettes, alcohol and other tempting items out of your home. • Replace unhealthy with health behaviors. Exercise, practice a favorite hobby or spend time with family. • Prepare mentally. If you can't avoid tempting situations, prepare in advance. Plan how to handle temptations and mentally practice what you plan. • Enlist support. Ask friends, family and co-workers to support your efforts to change. • Reward yourself for small steps. Give yourself a healthy treat when you've reached a small goal or milestone.

Help prevent toddler drowning

Drowning is the leading cause of unintentional death in children aged 1 – 4 years, and the majority of the children that drown in swimming pools most commonly gain access to the pool area when there is no fence or through a faulty fence or gate. One important step to a solution to this issue is as simple as physically checking and maintaining your pool gate regularly, to ensure it self-closes and self-latches at all times. You should not be able to open a gate at all without activating the release mechanism which should be out of the reach of toddlers. The National Drowning Prevention Alliance (NDPA) collaborated a Check Your Pool Gate Month campaign kicking-off Memorial Day weekend, continuing through the month of June. The aim of the initiative is to educate pool owners about pool safe-

ty and to encourage them to check their pool surroundings—not once a year, but regularly—reminding pool owners of the vital need to ensure pool fences, gates, latches and hinges are secure and in top working order. Every pool owner should be confident they have a safe swimming zone. A few minutes is all it takes for pool owners to check that their pool fences and gates, including latches and hinges, are in good working order. This simple routine done regularly could save the life of a child.

Safety checklist for pool gates

• Should open outwards, away from the pool • Height of latch release mechanism is least 54" from the bottom of the gate (check local codes) • Must be self-closing and

self-latching • Hinges should be rustfree and bind-free • Hinges should be reliable and tension-adjustable for closing speed • Latch must be adjustable horizontally and vertically to accommodate gate movement • Gate will latch when latch is in the locked or unlocked position • Latch cannot be disengaged using implements (e.g. garden or pool tools) • Latch cannot be shaken or jolted open • Gate will shut and latch securely from any open angle or force • Complies with all applicable standards, codes and legislation for pool safety

SIX SIGNS OF HEARING LOSS

Approximately 30% of adults between the ages of 65 and 74 are affected by hearing loss, according to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD). However, since hearing loss is painless and slow to occur, many don’t realize they need a hearing aid.

In fact, only one out of five people who could benefit from a hearing aid actually wears one. May is Better Hearing and Speech Month and is a great time to remind readers of the signs they should be on the lookout for when it comes to hearing loss and whether a hearing aid could be beneficial.

Hearing Loss Signs:

• Lack of hearing starts to interfere with your normal way of life • Having trouble understanding people on the phone • Have a hard time following a conversation when two people are speaking at the same time • You misunderstand others when they are talking to you • Family and friends com-

plain that you keep the TV and radio too loud • You are constantly told you’re talking too loud in normal conversation situations If you are experiencing any of these symptoms the NIDCD recommends making an appointment with an audiologist. It’s important to remember only a licensed professional can diagnose hearing loss.

Did you know?

Earbuds enable music lovers to enjoy their favorite tunes uninterrupted and without distracting others around them. People often use earbuds while commuting to work, at the gym and even at home. But according to hearing aid manufacturer Beltone, noise-induced hearing loss can occur by using earbuds at a high volume for extended periods of time. Earbuds can put audio signals close to the inner ear, which is the equivalent of boosting it by nine decibels. Even moderately high volume can cause hearing loss. It’s important to keep the volume low and to take frequent breaks when using earbuds. Keep earbud volume below 60 percent and wear them for no more than 60 minutes per day.

In the news . . . AI-enabled EKGs find difference between numerical age and biological age significantly affects health, longevity You might be older — or younger — than you think. A new study found that differences between a person's age in years and his or her biological age, as predicted by an artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled EKG, can provide measurable insights into health and longevity. The AI model accurately predicted the age of most subjects, with a mean age gap of 0.88 years between EKG age and actual age. However, a number of subjects had a gap that was much larger, either seemingly much older or much younger by EKG age.

The likelihood to die during follow-up was much higher among those seemingly older by EKG age, compared to those whose EKG age was the same as their chronologic or actual age. The association was even stronger when predicting death caused by heart disease. Conversely, those who had a lesser age gap — considered younger by EKG — had decreased risk. ". . .We know that mortality rate is one of the best ways to measure biological age, and our model proved that," says Francisco Lopez-Jimenez,

M.D., chair of the Division of Preventive Cardiology at Mayo Clinic. Dr. Lopez-Jimenez is senior author of the study. The subjects had a mean age around 54 and were followed for approximately 12.5 years. The study excluded those with a baseline history of heart attacks, bypass surgery or stents, stroke or atrial fibrillation. When researchers adjusted these data to consider multiple standard risk factors, the association between the age gap and cardiovascular mortality was even more pro-

nounced. Subjects who were found to be oldest by EKG compared to their actual age had the greatest risk, even after accounting for medical conditions that would predict their survival, while those found the youngest compared to their actual age had lower cardiovascular risks. The findings are published in European Heart Journal — Digital Health.

"Our findings open up a number of opportunities to help identify those who may benefit from preventive strategies the most. Now that the concept has been proven that EKG age relates to survival, it is time to think how we can incorporate this in clinical practice. More research will be needed to find the best ways to do it," says Dr. Lopez-Jimenez.

Dr. Lopez-Jimenez and co-authors Paul Friedman, M.D.; Zachi Attia, Ph.D.; and Suraj Kapa, M.D. — all of Mayo Clinic — have filed intellectual property related to the AI algorithm used in this research.

Eagles shut out Sharks twice to claim district title

By Wes Kerr LowcoSports.com It was a daunting task for Beaufort High to go into the Shark Tank and win two straight games. It was even more daunting against a team with 12 straight wins and Darin Horn looming on the mound. But the Eagles did it, and they punched their ticket to the state’s final four. Wes Graves and Colin Peterson threw a pair of phenomenal complete-game shutouts, and Beaufort High stymied May River 2-0 and 10-0 on the road Friday to win the SCHSL Class 4A District 4 tournament and advance to the Lower State championship series against region rival James Island. After both Horn and Graves threw a pair of 1-2-3 innings to start the opening game, the Eagles got on the board for the first time in the second, scoring via an RBI groundout to grab a 1-0 lead. Graves then continued his stellar performance on the mound, allowing just one hit through the first three innings. Beaufort High gave its pitcher another big run in the fourth, as Colin Peterson came up with the clutch two-out single on a sharp grounder up the middle to double his team’s lead. May River had a massive opportunity in the home half of the fourth after a Luke Holland double put runners on second and third, but Graves came back with a huge strikeout

to keep the two-run margin intact. The Sharks threatened again in the bottom of the seventh with an infield error and a Bennett Roemer single, putting the tying run on and the district championship-winning run at the plate with one out and the top of the order coming up. James Layman popped out on an infield fly, bringing the visitors an out away from forcing a deciding game. The script couldn’t have been any better as Horn stepped in with the contest in the balance. On a 1-2 offering to the plate, the senior chopped a grounder to James Davenport who flipped

the ball to second base for the final out, sending the district championship to a final deciding game. It was shaped up to be a backand-forth battle royale in the nightcap, but it quickly turned into a Beaufort High coronation. The Eagles cranked up the offense in the second inning to score four runs and take control of the ballgame. Wallace started it all off with a booming double to right field, Oliver Holmes was hit by a pitch to put a second runner on, and Zach Talbert laid down a gorgeous bunt-single to load up the bases with nobody out. Peterson then continued his hot day at

the plate and helped out his own cause on the mound, sending a sacrifice fly into right field before a costly error continued the inning and plated another to make it 2-0. The Eagles doubled the advantage with a bases-loaded walk and a Rush Riley sacrifice fly, completing a full trip around the order and finishing the frame with a 4-0 lead. Peterson struck again an inning later, smashing a line-drive double to left field and scoring a pair of runs before Davenport notched his own two-bagger to take a commanding 7-0 advantage. With an electric student section in full force behind them,

the visiting Eagles kept the good times rolling in the fourth, adding RBI singles from Willam Winburn and Holmes plus a Peterson run-scoring groundout to push it to 10-0. May River got the leadoff man on in the fourth and fifth innings, but Peterson shut down the rest of the Shark lineup both times to complete a memorable runrule victory and punch Beaufort High’s ticket to the final four. The Eagles only needed two pitchers to get it done in the twin billing, and both were spectacular. Graves started it off with a masterful seven innings, giving up just three hits while holding the Sharks off the board the entire way. Then Peterson put together a complete-game shutout of his own, surrendering just three hits and a walk while striking out six batters. But that wasn’t all for the Eagle standout. Peterson came through on offense as well, going 2-for-5 with a team-leading four RBIs in the doubleheader. Holmes also delivered all evening long at the plate, finishing 3-for-5 with a run driven in. Horn spun together a fantastic effort for the Sharks on the hill, going all seven innings of the opening game allowing just one earned run and racking up nine strikeouts. Zack Morillo led the way for May River (16-8) at the dish, going 2-for-2 with a double in the finale.

Eagles drop heartbreaker to open Lower State championship series

LowcoSports.com Beaufort High’s valiant comeback effort came up just short in Game 1 of the SCHSL 4A Lower State championship series, as the Eagles dropped a 5-4 road contest Monday at James Island. After the Eagles erased a 4-1 deficit, Hogan Garner scored the goahead run in the sixth to give the Trojans the win and a 1-0 series lead. After James Island starter Stephen West worked a 1-2-3 first inning, the home team quickly got the offense rolling, scoring two runs on a pair of hits and errors

to grab a 2-0 advantage. Beaufort answered with a run in the top half of the third, as Rush Riley swiped second base and scored on a wild pitch to cut the deficit in half, but the Trojans struck right back in the bottom half, tacking on two runs and extending the lead to 4-1. The Eagles needed a rally to get back in the game, and they found their opportunity in the top half of the fifth. After two hit-by-pitches and a walk loaded the bases with one out, Oliver Holmes ripped the first pitch he saw to left field, scoring Matt

Bornscheuer and William Winburn before Rhogue Wallace crossed the plate on a passed ball to even it up at 4. Holmes then worked out of a two-baserunner jam to keep it tied, but Beaufort stranded James Davenport after a one-out single in the ensuing half-inning, sending the stalemate to the bottom of the sixth. Garner got the James Island crowd on its feet in an instant, smoking a leadoff double to left field and putting the Trojans in business. Holmes bounced back with a huge strikeout before a wild pitch and a balk

was enough to score Garner and give the home team the late 5-4 lead. The Eagles put together a strong start to the top of the seventh, as a hit-by-pitch and sacrifice bunt advanced the speedy Riley to second base with one out. Keillor Osbon then struck out Wallace on three pitches, putting the game on the bat of Holmes. The senior skied a popup to shallow center field with two Trojans racing towards each other to haul it in. It was a few seconds of nervousness for the hometown fans, but Julius Reynolds held onto

the baseball as the two collided to seal the Game 1 victory. Despite a tough ending, Holmes delivered a spectacular effort, going 2-for-3 at the plate with a pair of RBIs while throwing six strong innings on the mound. The Eagles were held to just four hits in the contest, as West and Osbon dazzled with a combined 14 strikeouts. The series now shifts to Beaufort High on Wednesday, as the Eagles (16-10) look to stave off elimination on their home field and force a decisive third game Friday at a neutral site.

Sand Sharks miss cut, but Thomas surges to T-13 at NAIA nationals LowcoSports.com Jacob Thomas put it all together to cap off a tremendous season at USCB, scoring a 13th-place finish to lead the Sand Sharks at the 2021 NAIA Men’s Golf Championship from Tuesday through Friday at TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Illinois. The junior played solid golf to start the tournament, posting a respectable 3-over 74 on the opening round

before shooting a 75 to earn a tie for 25th place and qualify as an individual for the final two rounds. Thomas saved his best golf for last, firing a 1-over 72 in the third round followed by an even-par 71 to finish in a tie for 13th place. After a spectacular eagle on the par-5 17th put the finishing touches on a strong third round, Thomas added three birdies on his best outing of

the tournament Friday to lock down the top-15 finish. USCB fell short of making the cut as a team, finishing 25th out of 30 squads in the national tournament. After an 80 got things started in round one, Dawson Peters rebounded with a solid 75 to close out his stellar senior campaign. Jonas Demant finished just a stroke behind Peters with a 156 (80-76), Christoph Hagenauer

recorded a 158 (81-77), and Skyler Sicoli rounded out the lineup with a 161 (84-77). Dalton State took home the national title in a dramatic one-stroke victory over Texas Wesleyan with a 72hole score of 1171, and Corey Matthey of Morningside College captured the individual championship with an outstanding 4-under 280. Despite the tough outing in the fi-

nal event of the season, Peters earned another honor Saturday with a spot on the NAIA PING All-America First Team from the Golf Coaches Association of America. The Sun Conference Golfer of the Year finishes the season with three individual tournament wins, a team-low 72.86 scoring average, and an incredible 19 finishes inside the top-15 over his last 20 tournaments.

Eagles’ Angus earns all-state honors

LowcoSports.com After leading his Beaufort High boys tennis team to the brink of a state championship, Graeme Angus capped off his season with an impressive showing in the Class 4A/5A state singles tournament last week, finishing in the final eight to earn allstate honors — and he’s only a seventh-grader. The Eagles’ top singles player had to battle through the consolation bracket after dropping a tough threeset match in the first round, falling to Myrtle Beach’s Rivers Cahill 7-5, 5-7, 10-8 before winning four straight in the back draw to claim a spot on the all-state team. Angus breezed through his first consolation match 8-0 before grinding out two 8-4 victories and cruising to an 8-1 win in the consolation quarterfinals. He finally ran out of steam

Sand Sharks’ postseason run ends with loss to Bryan

LowcoSports.com The season may have come to an end Tuesday night in Winter Haven, Florida, but the future couldn’t be brighter for the USCB baseball program. After trailing by eight runs, Ted Falkner’s squad never stopped battling, cutting the deficit to just three before falling 11-6 to Bryan (Tenn.) to conclude its run in the NAIA National Championship Opening Round Lakeland Bracket.

The Lions quickly surged to a commanding 9-1 lead after two innings, with the lone Sand Shark tally in the first pair of frames coming on an Alexander Humphrey sacrifice fly. USCB never quit, scoring one in the third before adding three more in the fourth to cut the lead in half at 9-5. Nick Milhan drove in Kyran Russ to kickstart the comeback effort, and Tavaris Terrell, Marino Sorbara, and Leandy Castro all scored off a trio of Bryan errors to

make it a four-run game. The Sand Sharks got even closer in the sixth inning, as Clint Sellers poked an RBI single up the middle to get within three. But the Lions gave themselves some insurance in the top of the ninth, adding a pair of runs in the ninth on a Parker Cosby two-out single before closing it out in the bottom half. Payton MacPherson was outstanding in relief for USCB, throwing 7 2-3 innings of stellar ball and

scattering just five hits and two runs alongside five strikeouts to give his team a chance late. Castro finished off an incredible season with another strong performance, going 2-for-4 with two runs scored while Sellers went 2-for-3 and drove in a run. USCB finishes the season with an impressive record of 32-23 in Falkner’s first season at the helm and returned to the national tournament for the first time since 2016.

Give Your Closet a Growth Spurt

LowcoSports.com Beaufort High’s girls soccer team fell short of qualifying for the condensed Class 4A playoffs this season, but it wasn’t for lack of effort from their star goalkeeper. Sophomore keeper Quinn Wilson was named the Region 7-4A Player of the Year last week, recognizing her standout performance in leading the Eagles to a 6-6 region record and a fourth-place finish in a region that produced both Lower State finalists. Wilson was remarkable all season, posting five shutouts in region play and routinely racking up double-digit saves, and the Eagles will have her back in goal for two more seasons.

Things usually get better with the passage of time

I

t is Sunday morning and it’s brisk. Not cool enough for a small, tastefully laid fire; but cool enough for coffee sipped in the darkness on the deck. This morning I also have a New Yorker that tells us about Elizabeth Loftus — a scientist who has spent most of her life trying to explain the mechanics of memory. Often explaining, in Court, whether or not one’s memory is a reliable, retrievable movie that can be removed from one’s brain, rebroadcast, and then placed into evidence. These days there is usually a lengthy period of time between the event and its re-playing, legal or otherwise. Years pass between an assault, or a rape, and the legal accounting that happens in the form of sworn testimony. In some cases there are no eyewitnesses to the event other than the perpetrator and the victim. Ms. Loftus is in demand these days. She is an expert, usually paid thousands

of dollars to explain the memory process to the jury. And Loftus usually says that memory is not indelible, or chiseled-into fixed-forever stone. And that testimony has stirred-up controversy. I am drawn to this piece because I usually write non-fiction and try to stay in the general vicinity of the truth as I remember it. For 30 years I’ve written some kind of column; and can go back and “refresh my recollection” with the descriptive words and phrases that I used in 1990. But there’s not much written before 1980 and so I have to rely on hazy, indistinct memories — memories that have been eroded or enlarged or enhanced by the

passage of time. But for three months in 1964 — February through May — I kept a running journal in the margins of my French textbook. I wrote these thoughts during lectures at The Citadel. The entries beginning on February 6, 1964, “Barth has me worried. Apparently the old boy is on the warpath. Has the whole squad upset by his trying to impress Wallace.” These sentences remind me that “Barth” was my squad leader, and relentless oppressor, determined I would never wear a Citadel Ring. On February 11, I wrote,

“Situation normal. Barth back in the groove, however caught hell from Morgan after breakfast. New hope in Chemistry; and French seems almost classic; Come Easter. Do Come.”

fight began to break up …”

On February 18,

“All hell has broken loose in India.” (Here I’m referring to my Company, not the SubContinent.) On February 29, “The bottom has fallen out. Saw English professor and he gave me the impression that I might be the worst writer in the world. Sometimes my mood plunges into utter despair. Every front looks imminently bleak. Sometimes I entertain pretty sordid thoughts. Come Easter. Do Come.” Then on March 15, “Tonight it finally happened. The revolt against the sophomores finally materialized complete with fist fight. It was incredible from the beginning until it’s somewhat abrupt end. I tackled someone but I’ll be damned if I know who. Strickland jumped me, and we fought until the

On April 28, I wrote,

“Stayed up with that SOB Pryor until 2 last night, received an 84 in chemistry, 32 days to go — 32 days of knobdom.”

I did not record that those of us involved in this “insurrection” ended up in front of a retired general who said something like this, “Graber you can either resign or return to the barracks. But if you choose the latter I have instructed your Company Commander to impart whatever punishment, mental or physical, he deems necessary—in whatever fashion or degree he deems necessary.’’ As I think back on those days I again feel the desperation, pain and the shame I felt 56 years ago. At this point in my life I was also failing Chemistry, sleeping maybe two or three hours every night, and now I was being officially informed it would get worse. For reasons not memorialized in the margins of my French textbook I did not leave the school.

And on May 19, “My God I cannot believe it but have survived this hell and, incredible as it may seem, I’m proud.” It is a good thing I retained possession of this inelegant narrative. I believe it is healthy to occasionally revisit this darkened, desperate confessional where I believed I had no future, and was living life minute by desperate minute. I learned — with the passage of time — that time things usually get better. In this case much better. Scott Graber is a lawyer, novelist, veteran columnist and longtime resident of Port Royal.

It’s easy to stumble crossing the color line

ocial media usually is such a proliferation of nonsense that I'm surprised when I read something that really makes me stop and think. This happened recently when a friend posted:

“Seems to me that it's time to remind our young Black men that young Black women are suitable life partners.”

views. Others blamed poor models in youth culture: too many half-dressed hoochie mamas and womanizing wannabe thugs and too few smart, clean-cut nice guys. Some pointed to commercials that, while depicting more interracial couples overall, persist in showing Black female characters without a visible male partner. The author countered the replies with infographics from Pew Research showing Black men marry other races at twice the rate Black women do, 24 percent to 12 percent. Add in a bachelor’s degree and the difference

The post was not inflammatory, it was not accusatory, and in fact seemed almost resigned to the fact Black men, especially young Black men, are increasingly looking outside their culture for mates. This was an accomplished Black woman lamenting a social trend she had observed. The responses were what I expected. Some blamed Black women’s strong personalities and (allegedly) anti-Black male

increases, 30 percent to 13 percent. Unlike most times on social media, the commenters didn’t argue against the facts. I wanted to respond, but first I had to consider my own dating history. Over the course of my adulthood, l dated several white women. Some thought this meant I didn’t like or wasn’t attracted to Black women. That never was the case. I married my high school sweetheart, a Black woman. We divorced, but it wasn’t because she was Black. I met many beautiful, intelligent Black women throughout my career, but I was determined to follow the advice of never dating where I worked. And since I am a homebody by nature I met only the people

I ran into casually, who were introduced by friends (very rarely) or whom I met on dating sites. They were usually white. Even with living and working in the South, I found that dating interracially was not as fraught with overt peril as it used to be. Still, it had its challenges: – There was the woman whose father is a Civil War re-enactor. He was a nice man and praised me as being “as white as any white man he knew.” I still don’t know what to do with that “compliment.” – Then there was the woman who brought up how chatter at her family get-togethers would inevitably turn to “the Black problem.” I still remember her describing a bunker her brothers and uncles built out in the middle of nowhere, filled with food, guns and ammo for when “the race wars start.”

neighborhoods. They often face challenges overcoming cultural differences and pressures. White women who date Black men can suffer a loss of social status. A Black male-white female marriage is twice as likely to end in divorce as a samerace marriage. I experienced that after marrying a white woman a decade younger than me. When we divorced, to quote Richard Pryor, she took everything but the blame. A reasonable person might wonder, “So why even bother? Why not just stick with Black women?” Which brings me back to my thoughts about the original post. (To be continued …)
