REMEMBERING THE FALLEN
Beaufort shows reverence for those who gave all MIKE MCCOMBS
Honoring the fallen should be a year-round deal
B
y now, the gatherings and happenings of the just-passed Memorial Day weekend are still fresh on the mind but soon headed for our unruly stack of memories, slowly fading. By now, the grill has been cold for days, and any leftovers are likely already gone from the fridge. By now, those of us that enjoyed a long weekend out of town are home again and several days back at work. It may seem like the time to look forward to the next holiday, our next celebration, our next vacation. Instead I want to linger on the one we just had for a while. Decoration Day begot Memorial Day. A day to recognize and honor the Americans before us who paid the highest price in service of their country. The ultimate sacrifice. They died for us, so that we may be free. So how do we honor those men and women? What do we do to celebrate such a somber occurrence? Given the celebrations, laying of wreaths and parades, do we do enough? How can we repay them? The answer is complicated, and yet it’s simple. The first and biggest

By Bob Sofaly Memorial Day was celebrated in Beaufort on Monday with the traditional parade through town and a ceremony at Beaufort National Cemetery, as well as backyard barbecues and, in some cases, trips to the beach. Pictured here are patriots who braved the triple-digit heat to honor those men and women who gave their full measure of devotion and surrendered their lives for their country. About 200 people gathered at the cemetery which was dedicated on May 31, 1887. Beaufort National Cemetery is the oldest in South Carolina and containing the remains of more than 25,000 service men and women. Carolina Floral Designs supplied about 4,000 roses for anyone that wanted to place a flower on a headstone. The roses were supplied free of charge.
Beaufort hoops coach arrested, dismissed By Justin Jarrett Former Beaufort High School varsity boys basketball coach Will Lowther provided alcohol to a minor when the two met up after chatting on a social networking and dating app, according to a Beaufort Police Department report obtained by LowcoSports.com. Lowther was dismissed from his coaching position and placed on administra-
tive leave from his role as a physical education teacher at BHS following his arrest Monday. He is charged with the transfer of alcohol to a minor. According to the report, the incident occurred April 6, when Lowther and a minor visiting from Aiken agreed to meet up after messaging one another on the app throughout the afternoon. Lowther arrived at a Beaufort residence

with two bottles of liquor but stayed only a short time before a minor female who lives at the residence told him to leave. All names other than Lowther’s were redacted from the police report. During his first interview with Beaufort Police, Lowther denied the incident occurred and claimed he did not have an account on the app in question. He also provided
a detailed account of his activity and whereabouts that day, most of which was corroborated during the investigation. Cell phone records, however, placed Lowther in the Mossy Oaks neighborhood of Beaufort from 6:30-7 p.m., when he claimed to be at home or en route to Bluffton with a friend. When met with that evidence, the report says Lowther “appeared to be defeated” and asked to speak

to an attorney before continuing the interview. At a second interview with his attorney present, the report says Lowther admitted to police he had “engaged in conversation with someone he thought was 18 years old and was in college” and taken two bottles of liquor to the residence to meet up. Upon hearing an adult male’s voice from the bedroom, the minor who lives

Suzie Parker Devoe: Writer, Actor and Producer gives a presentation to the audience at the LWVB luncheon on Susie King Taylor, Charlotte Forten and Laura Towne. Devoe have moved to Beaufort from new York City to write a novel. with writer, actor and producer Suzie Parker Devoe. Sharp said Beaufort serves as a role model for the state and the nation regarding the effort to bring to light a hidden and misrepresented period in American history. “We must know what happened in the past so we don't repeat our mistakes,” Sharp said. “After President Lincoln was assassinated, the course of Reconstruction changed tragically. The League of Women Voters, Beaufort Area outstretches its hand to the greater Beaufort area to acknowledge what happened and will do everything in our power to make amends and work with the community to prevent it from ever happening again.” Mayor Billy Keyserling
updated the crowd on the Reconstruction Era National Historical Park and a Harriet Tubman Monument to be built at Beaufort’s historic Tabernacle Baptist Church. The mayor, son of Harriet and Dr. Herbert Keyserling, was in attendance with his brother, Paul. LWV Secretary Anne Grimsley Bander unveiled plans to honor their mother with a Harriet Keyserling Emerging Leader Fund. She said the fund will be used to make resources available for league members to attend programs that promote leadership development. “The League wants to publicly promote its commitment to developing future leaders for the community,” Bander said. Bander offered a quote from Keyserling’s book, Against the Tide, which reads, “Which laws stand and which fall at a particular time depends on the political climate and the public will. And that will depends in turn upon the public’s knowledge. I agree so strongly with the credo of the League of Women Voters that to have a healthy democracy, citizens must have the information they need to participate in the political process.” League leaders felt the contributions of Harriet Keyserling, who championed such issues as equal rights, voter education, the environment and the arts should be recognized, remembered and honored along with the valuable impact of the trail-blazing women of Reconstruction who gave so much of themselves for the betterment of so many others.

One may find it difficult to imagine what Harriet Keyserling and Harriet Tubman might have in common – apart from their first name. Yet that’s exactly what was discussed May 18 during a luncheon featuring the Women of Reconstruction Era sponsored by the League of Women Voters, Beaufort Area (LWVB). Keyserling was an affluent, well-educated 20th-century lawmaker and Tubman a former slave who could not read or write. Yet, the works of both women are woven into the historical fabric of Beaufort County along with the achievements of others of their gender who bravely pushed forward for the greater good. Keyserling was the first woman elected to the state legislature in South Carolina, and Tubman led slaves to freedom through the Underground Railroad. Both had to face uncertainty. Both were courageous and intelligent. Both had a desire to help people and were driven to do what they believed was necessary to affect change for the better. These qualities were also shared by Laura Towne, Rachel Crane Mather, Charlotte Forten and Susie King Taylor. Their contributions were also celebrated during the event, which was held at the Beaufort County Black Chamber of Commerce and attended by roughly 100 people. LWVB board member Jennifer Sharp introduced the presenters, which included Rufus Pinckney and Alvesta Robertson with the Mather Alumni Association, along

step is to stop making it something we do just once a year. It should be a part of our lives every day. And then the second step is to be worthy of their sacrifice. How to do that is a little less clear. I’ve seen that sentiment on social media and T-shirts in the past week. And I think some of the people I’ve seen it from might disagree with me on exactly what that means. It’s not about being more patriotic. It’s not about supporting the military. Although those things aren’t necessarily bad. It’s not about being more “American.” It’s about being a better American. We should do the things we can do as Americans to
make America better. We should be good citizens. First of all, we should be informed. And we should vote. We should hold our elected officials – from our towns and counties to Congress and the White House – accountable. Right or left, Democrat or Republican, we should hold them to the same standards. And we should insist they follow the law. We should be vigilant so that we don’t require the same sacrifice these soldiers made frivolously. We should question our leaders vigorously any time they want to send our troops into harm’s way. It’s our responsibility. Our leaders work for us. And when our men and women in uniform come home broken, we should address their needs adequately and promptly. But our responsibilities shouldn’t just be toward our government and our military. We should take care of
those who came before us, our elderly. We should care about children, even those that are not our own. We should help and show empathy toward the sick, the mentally ill, the homeless and the poor. We should give blood. We should give to charity. We should care about our environment. We should speak out when there is wrongdoing, racism, bigotry or greed. All these things seem idealistic. Maybe they are. But they can be done. And they can be done every day, even if in small doses. And they will make this country a better place, and the people will be better for it, as well. And that’s how you repay them. That’s how you honor them. Mike McCombs is the editor of The Island News and can be reached at TheIslandNews@gmail.com.
Preparing the Way
The Adventure Begins The Big Picture of the Bible
The knight bravely storms the enemy castle. Out of love for his kidnapped bride, he overcomes every foe. No one can stop his determined climb up the tower stairs. Vanquishing his final enemy, he bursts into the room where his beloved has been kept prisoner. “I am here,” he exclaims, “I have come for you!” He sets her free and, at long last, the two embrace with great joy. Does God have such a love for us? In our previous faith messages, we examined some of the reasons for faith in God. One can come to important insights by reflecting on the physical universe and on our experience of human nature. But these insights can only scratch the surface of the mysteries of God. If we are to know him in a deeper way, God has to choose to reveal himself to us. He has to come into the castle, so to speak, and make himself known. God has indeed made himself known to us! He did not simply set the universe in motion and leave us on our own without another thought. Rather, since our first days on earth, he has interacted with the human race and revealed himself to be a faithful, loving Father. As God revealed himself to his people over the centuries, he inspired many individuals to write down the stories of his words and deeds.
To understand the Bible, we need to see the big picture. At its heart, the Bible is the adventure of God gradually forming a family of faith, the Israelites. With great patience, he helped them to love and trust him, calling them to be the light by which all the other nations would come to know him. If we can understand the broad outlines of this family history, then the other pieces of the Bible begin to fall into place. The Psalms, for example, are the family songs of the Israelite people, while Proverbs is a collection of their wise sayings. God comes to save us! In this message series, we will share the big picture from Genesis to Jesus. We will see that God created humanity to enjoy perfect union with him, and that we lost this union due to sin. We will watch as God begins his family of faith with the “yes” of one faithful man, Abraham, and follow this family as it grows into the nation of Israel. We will see how God prepares the way for a gift of himself beyond our imagining, a mighty warrior coming to save his beloved.
This is the amazing story recounted in the Bible. In its pages, we find the greatest adventure ever told: how God patiently prepared the way for the most amazing rescue mission of all time. This adventure is recounted by many authors and through various types of literature, such as histories, poems, and letters. For this reason, the Bible is not like a typical novel, but more like a library of small books collected under one cover.

Lybrand happy with Eagles’ spring progress Beaufort High football fans got a sneak preview of next year’s team — and a first look at their new head coach — at the team’s annual spring game Friday night. And as often is the case during the spring, optimism abounds. “I thought it went well,” new head coach Bryce Lybrand said. “I was happy with what I saw.” The first-team offense and first-team defense took turns on the field for 10-play sequences. As Lybrand expected, the offense was ahead of the defense thanks to four returning starters on the offensive line, along with star running back James Dagin and quarterback Tyler Haley. Haley split time with senior Jeffrey Smyth at quarterback last season but took on a bigger role as the season progressed. That experience helped him hit the ground running with the offense this spring.

Running back James Dagin was one of the offensive standouts during Beaufort High’s annual spring football game Friday night.
“We’ve got so many guys coming back on offense that we were able to do almost our full offensive install in the spring,” Lybrand said. “There wasn’t really anything that we installed that he didn’t al-

ready know. We were able to throw a lot at him.” Speaking of throwing, Haley had quite a night Friday. He completed 12 of 17 passes for 255 yards and three touchdowns, hooking up often
with speedster Tre Smalls, who had four catches for 190 yards and two TDs. Dagin broke three long touchdown runs of 60 yards or longer and finished with 209 yards and three TDs.
Winburn made several tackles to lead the defense. The Eagles open the season Aug. 23 at A.C. Flora and play their first home game Aug. 30 against Battery Creek.

A team of self-proclaimed “old dudes” from northern Beaufort County teamed up to win the men’s 70-and-over 3.0 title at the USTA South Carolina League State Championships on Hilton Head Island last month. The Habersham String Chickens team — made up of players from Habersham, Lady’s Island, Cat Island, and the City of Beaufort — went 3-0 at the event, defeating teams from Hilton Head, McCormick, and John’s Island. The String Chickens won seven of nine individual courts and dropped the fewest sets (7) and games (67) of any of the four teams.

An Okatie Elementary School kindergarten assistant was named Friday, May 24, as the Beaufort County School District’s 2019 Support Person of the Year. The selection of Kari Dollar was announced at a breakfast recognizing schools’ previously announced individual honorees. Dollar is completing her second year as a kindergarten assistant at Okatie Elementary, where she helps students with their math, reading and writing skills, helps with overall classroom management and works behind the scenes to help keep the school running smoothly. “Kari is a very genuine and dedicated person,” Okatie Elementary Principal Jamie Pinckney said in a release. “She’s kind, patient,
generous, smart and organized, and nobody is going to out-work her.” Dollar said she was surprised and excited by today’s Kari announcement. Dollar “What an honor to be chosen to represent support staff across our entire district,” Dollar said. “We’re blessed with lots of wonderful employees who also deserve this recognition. This is a great place to be.” Dollar has a bachelor’s degree in animal nutrition. Pinckney said Dollar was active in Okatie Elementary’s PTO and School Improvement Council when her two children were students there, and now that her chil-
dren attend May River High, she is active in that school’s PTO and SIC. Interim Superintendent Herb Berg said Dollar would be an excellent representative for the school district’s diverse array of support staff, which can include teaching assistants, social workers, school nurses, bookkeepers, office managers, media specialists, school secretaries and technology and data specialists. “No school can be successful without a strong support staff,” Berg said. “What they do each and every day makes it possible for teachers and students to succeed in the classroom.” Dollar was awarded a $250 gas card from Parker’s, which sponsored the breakfast.

VOICES & CELEBRATIONS
Energy Freedom Act opens energy-production market to competition L ast January, on the first day of the 2019 session of the S.C. General Assembly, Rep. Peter McCoy, R-Charleston, and I filed identical bills titled the "Energy Freedom Act" in the House and Senate, respectively. Two weeks ago, on the last regular day of that session, the bill was ratified as having passed both legislative chambers and sent to Gov. Henry McMaster. And this past Tuesday, in a State House rotunda packed with media, renewable-energy activists and solar-industry entrepreneurs, I stood alongside the governor as he signed the bill into law. It has been widely reported that this new law is about promoting clean energy, and that's partially true. But it's really about something more fundamental: it is a first and important step away from the energy-production monopolies that have saddled South
TOM DAVIS
Carolinians with some of the highest electricity bills in the nation, and toward real competition through an open market of many buyers and many sellers that will provide downward pressure on the cost of producing energy. More than 60 years ago, the S.C. General Assembly began passing laws that provided mega-utilities with service-area monopolies and guaranteed them a generous return on their invested capital. That made sense then, given the high fixed costs of building plants and power grids and the general difficulty the South had at the
time in attracting investment capital. That same model is essentially still in place today, with Santee Cooper, Duke Energy and Dominion Energy (formerly SCE&G) holding the territorial monopolies. But as the nuclear-facility debacle in Fairfield County illustrated, with $9 billion having been spent by Santee Cooper and SCE&G (and to be paid for by their customers) on a now-abandoned project, there are dangers inherent in this model. Mega-utilities with service-area monopolies will inevitably pursue capital-intensive projects because the return they get is directly related to what they spend. There is little incentive for them to embrace cutting-edge technologies in order to lower energy-production costs for the benefit of consumers. As a result we have not
fully benefited from the explosion in information and communications technology which, in other parts of our country, has revolutionized every aspect of the electricity-supply chain. That technology makes it much easier to communicate, coordinate, and automate grid interactions and facilitates access to new market participants that have natural incentives to innovate. The Energy Freedom Act will start to open up the grid to this new technology and these new participants. Among other things, like eliminating the cap on the credit to customers for the excess power their rooftop solar panels produce, it says if an independent power producer demonstrates the ability to generate electricity more cheaply than a mega-utility, then that IPP must be allowed to sell that power to the grid, with savings being passed
along to consumers. The objective here is for consumers to pay rates that are a function of what competition in the energy-production market dictates, as opposed to simply paying a mega-utility a guaranteed rate of return on its invested capital. And also to remove barriers to market-driven innovations, for no one knows what else markets may come up with when the grid is open to all. This latter point was made in a recent piece published in Utility Drive: "As thousands of new 5G cell towers are installed across the country over the next few years and ubiquitous sensors allow for more sophisticated management of electric load and accommodation of innovation, the 'Internet of Things' has the power to revolutionize the electric industry … Like the telecommunication indus-
Long after demise of Bay Street shopping, dollar stores creep in
W
hen I moved to Beaufort — in 1971 — Bay Street came with two hardware stores (Fordham’s and Beaufort Hardware); a drug store (Luther’s); and a movie theatre (The Breeze). There were also places to buy a seersucker suit (Wallace and Danner and Schein’s); dress shoes (Lipsitz) and lingerie (Pink Pussycat). Just off Bay Street there was a grocery (Piggly Wiggly) and a boarding house for traveling salesmen. The point I’m trying to make is that one could find soft goods, dry goods, and hardware on Bay Street — or within walking distance of Bay Street. Today that is not the case. Today one finds restaurants, realtors, fudge and flip flops along Bay Street. These days one must travel if one wants aspirin, asparagus, ammunition or a chain saw — gasoline or electric.
SCOTT GRABER
One must get in one’s Range Rover and drive several miles to several locations if one wants to meet one’s bodily or material needs. There have been theories about the demise of Bay Street shopping but some — and I hasten to say there is no empirical evidence on this question — say the arrival of Walmart hastened the death of serious downtown shopping. Surely Walgreens, Lowe’s and the relocation of Belk’s pulled people away and put the kibosh on downtown shopping. But now we know that Walmart (and even the large grocery stores like
Publix and BiLo) face a new competitor — the dollar stores. Every day four new dollar stores open in the US — and, apparently, there are 30,000 dollar stores versus 5,000 Walmarts. Actually there are more dollar stores than there are Walmarts and McDonald’s combined. Why? In an effort to understand the lure of the dollar store — to understand why there are three on Ribaut Road alone — I decided I would see for myself. The first impression one gets is a room, jammed floor to ceiling, with stuff. One must navigate narrow, canyon-high isles that pass under walls of merchandise. I was, of course, first drawn to the lingerie department where one can purchase a brassiere for $4 or a bag of panties for $5. This section didn’t have the same allure one might find at Victoria’s

Secret but my mind was diverted to The Pink Pussycat. The Pink Pussycat — a store that specialized in women’s undergarments — thrived on Bay Street in the early 70s. Its success was related to the fact that men were encouraged to shop, linger, and not be embarrassed. The highlight of the Christmas Season in Beaufort — before they began lighting-up sail boats — was the Yuletide, men’s only fashion show at the Pink Pussycat. We’re talking live models, lingerie and yes, we’re talking about Bay Street. Then it was over to the dollar store’s hardware section where one can buy a plastic box of nails for $1.50. This took me back to Fordham’s where nails came out of huge, galvanized buckets arranged in the shape of a huge pittosporum plant. Nails were purchased by the pound and came with
commentary and the dry wit of Duncan Fordham. Then I wandered into groceries — mostly frozen pizzas, red and yellow colored sports drinks and huge, $1 bags of red hots. This took me back to the “downtown” Piggly Wiggly (actually it was on Port Republic Street) where one found rice in 50-pound bags and Adluh all-purpose flour in 20-pound bags. This particular Piggly Wiggly was ground zero, on Saturday morning, for the African-Americans who lived north of the Broad. They were, in many cases, ferried in from St Helena by Maceo Griffin who owned and operated Beaufort’s only taxi. And, yes, there was also entertainment — The Breeze Movie — which operated out of the Panini’s Building. The Breeze had current films but the projectionist would sometimes get confused and put the reels on the projector in the wrong sequence. Giv-
try, where customers have transitioned from purchasing a monthly landline service to enrolling in subscription plans for data and messaging services, the electric-utility industry has the potential to deliver innovations in service that have heretofore been unimaginable." The Energy Freedom Act will help clear the way for these innovations, but considerable work remains to be done, for the old way of doing business and those who benefit from it never yield to any change without a fight. In particular, careful attention must be paid to the actions of the Public Service Commission, which is charged with implementing the new law. Still, this was a win for South Carolinians and a good first step. Tom Davis is a State Senator representing portions of Beaufort and Jasper counties.
en the quality of movies in those days — Animal House, Straw Dogs, Young Frankenstein — this error was not immediately apparent. But, finally, my wife would lean over and whisper; “Are you going to go up there? Or am I?” Today Bay Street is mostly the domain of the tourist. And I suppose tourists are the folks who “saved” Bay Street and, of course, there is the stunning beauty of our Waterfront Park. But I do miss the shops (that came with parrots); and dentists (Hymie Lipsitz) who would work on your teeth while your wife and dog were in the same room. I do miss seeing the old men gathered for their eggs and grits at Harry’s Restaurant; and the smell of new leather at Tom’s Shoe Repair.

Walking Brandy’s mother
T
here are people in my neighborhood who know me only as “Brandy’s mother.” That is what happens when you own a dog. People are always asking the dog’s name. How old is she? What kind of dog? They never ask my name. I really do not mind because there are many benefits of being “Brandy’s mother.” Besides the unconditional love she provides, she also requires me to take her for walks, even when the thought of a walk is excruciating. Occasionally, I can feel her eyes boring into me as she patiently waits until I wake up and smile. Then her tail begins to wag, and my day begins, regardless of the weather. Of course, there are those miserable rainy days when I would prefer to stay in bed. But on those beautiful mornings when the sun is rising and there is a light breeze, I am glad she has been able to get me moving. Her wagging tail speaks volumes as she anxiously awaits me. I also think that in her mind, she is taking me for a walk.
LEE SCOTT
Now what?
highlighting daily life observations
There are other dog people in my neighborhood who are out walking their dogs or “getting” walked like me. I do know the names of some of the dog owners; neighbors who have Finch, Tosca, and Tess. But many times, I only know the dog’s name. It does not seem to bother people with dogs. As it turns out we see this practice of asking the dog’s name all the time. When my husband and I walk Brandy at the Beaufort Waterfront Park, people will come up and ask her name and if they can pet her. They never ask our names. We are just on the other end of Brandy’s leash. “Hello, my name is Lee!” I say in a needy tone, as they ignore me and get down on their knees to pet her.
But we are just as guilty of the practice, so I cannot complain. Recently, I stopped a woman and asked the dog’s name. “Wilson,” she replied. That is when I realized I had not asked her name. Typical dog owner. But she responded “I’m Holly, but Wilson is not really our dog. We are fostering him while our son is away at school.” Children do that to parents all the time. It made me wonder how she will feel when she stops being Wilson’s adopted Mother. I know, someday, I will not be Brandy’s mother anymore. Her picture will hang beside the pictures of our other dogs. Regardless, there will always be another dog in my future, ready to take me for a walk. But for now, I like being known as Brandy’s mother..

A former commercial banker responsible for helping her clients to reach their business objectives, Scott now translates those analytical skills to her writings.

Registration open for game design and development classes
The Beaufort Digital Corridor announces TWO summer camp sessions of Game On! – game design and development geared toward middle and high school students. Registration is now open for this limited seating opportunity. The courses will be held at the Beaufort Digital Corridor’s BASEcamp facility from 9 a.m. until noon, Monday-Friday, June 10-14 and July 15-19. Among the topics will be game strategy, puzzle design and a final project. This is a special curriculum by Seth Konoza, an animation, game design and computer science educator at Beaufort High School. Students are introduced to the theory, tools, and practice required to create their own games. Helping students to discover a passion for game design, computer science and coding, Game On! presents kids with the possibility of continuing their education in technology. Program manager Shelley Barratt adds, “In our third season of offering this course, we are well aware of the tech skills that the newer generation gains early on. The goal is to offer other skills — like critical thinking and user experience — to augment that, and the real work commences once they follow that curiosity throughout their education and into a potential tech career.”

The Santa Elena History Center is hosting a lecture and book signing with author Richard Thomas at 11:30 a.m. Saturday June 8, where he will discuss “Backwater Frontier: Beaufort County, South Carolina at the Forefront of American History.” In this wholly original perspective on the history of a relatively isolated region of Southeastern coastline, Richard Thomas focuses on singular stories of leadership in various contexts to track and reveal a remarkable pattern of leading-edge developments which solely directed or heavily influenced the subsequent course of history across the entire American landscape. The stories and their unmistakable implications, little-known historical highlights which chronicle 450 years of groundbreaking initiative, emanated from a concentrated and remote pocket of American wilderness. Comprehending these stories leaves the reader with no doubt as to the extraordinary and pivotal role Beaufort County, S.C. has played in the evolution of the American character and culture. Richard Thomas is a history scholar whose work since 2001 has included delivering presentations and leading tours for corporate executives to many notable historic sites in the U.S. and Europe. He is a graduate of Princeton University in East Asian Studies and did graduate field work in Cultural Anthropology with Thammasat University and the Siam Society in Thailand.
