Snapchat post puts BHS on alert A social media post featuring a replica firearm prompted additional security at Beaufort High School on Tuesday, Beaufort County School District spokesman Jim Foster said in an email. A former BHS student who now lives in Virginia forwarded a Snapchat post featuring a gun to a current BHS ninth-grader early Tuesday morning. Although there was no direct threat to BHS or any other school, law enforcement was contacted and investigated the post, confirming that it originated in Virginia. Virginia authorities investigated the post, identified the student pictured, and questioned the student and his parents, determining that the gun featured was a replica. The Beaufort Police Department had an increased presence at the school Tuesday, and BHS families and staff were notified, but the school planned to operate on its regular schedule. “The Snapchat post does not contain any specific threat,” Foster reiterated. “But because safety is the No. 1 priority, the school is acting out of an abundance of caution.”

Hospital and Sheriff ’s Office team up to keep drugs off the street Beaufort Memorial Hospital (BMH) and the Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office (BCSO) want to keep unused prescription drugs off the street, and they’re providing two new ways to do it. The two organizations have announced the locations of new secure drop boxes for the safe disposal of unused prescription and non-prescription drugs in Beaufort County. The drop boxes, located at the Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office in Beaufort at 2001 Duke Street and on Hilton Head Island at 70 Shelter Cove Lane, are available to the public from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays and by request at other times. The two organizations are working to identify additional locations throughout the county to expand the effort. “We are keenly aware of the growing opioid epidemic, and we know that one of the many opportunities for abuse and accidental overdose exists in people’s own homes,” Beaufort County Sheriff P.J. Tanner said. “We want to provide safe, secure disposal sites for these drugs, and these drop boxes are a great place to start.” BCSO recently hosted public drug takeback events to provide community members the opportunity to get rid of unused and unwanted prescriptions. The addition of drop boxes is intended to expand the effort and encourage residents to dispose of drugs regularly,

thereby reducing the risk of unintended abuse. “Up to 90 percent of unused prescription opioids sit in unlocked cabinets and drawers, increasing the risk of abuse, distribution, or accidental overdose,” BMH Chief Medical Officer Kurt Gambla said. “We’re working together to make it easier for community members to safely dispose of them.” The BCSO will be responsible for processing and safely disposing of unused drugs, and will provide periodic updates to the community about collection efforts. New drop-off locations will be announced in the coming months.

A cold case that went unsolved for nearly four decades was closed last week when a jury convicted a Beaufort man of the 1980 murder of 18-year-old David Krulewicz, and the rape, kidnapping, and armed robbery of his 15-year-old girlfriend. Isaiah Gadson, 66, was found guilty by a Beaufort County jury on Thursday, May 24, and sentenced to 50 years for the murder and 30 years each for criminal sexual conduct, armed robbery, and kidnapping, to be served concurrently. “Two families endured not only the pain of these heinous crimes, but more than 35 years knowing the man who did this was probably still out there, possibly still roaming free,” said Hunter Swanson of the 14th Circuit Solicitor’s Office, who prosecuted the case. “I hope the verdict brings peace to the many people who have suffered as a result of these crimes.” Swanson leads the Solicitor’s Office Special Victims Unit, which prosecutes crimes against vulnerable populations, such as criminal sexual conduct, domestic violence, and child abuse. Krulewicz and his girlfriend were on a date the evening of Jan. 5, 1980. They were parked in his van on Old Salem Road, which at the time was a dirt road in a secluded area of northern Beaufort County. At about 11:45 p.m. – 15 minutes before Krulewicz’s girlfriend was supposed to be home for her curfew – a man approached the van and shot Krulewicz three times through the passenger-side window. Krulewicz’s girlfriend pleaded for her life as the man held a gun to her head and took $50 from her, then made her lay down on the ground in front of the van and raped her. Beaufort County law enforcement pursued several leads in the early 1980s but made no arrests. Gadson lived in the Burton area at that time but was never a suspect. In the late 1990s, Capt. Bob Bromage submitted articles of the victims’ clothing to the S.C. State Law Enforcement Division for DNA testing. The agency developed a profile from the semen found on the rape victim’s pants and underwear. As DNA profiling techniques improved, tests were repeated in the early 2000s, and the results were submitted to an FBI database. A match came in 2016, when Gadson submitted DNA after his arrest for an unrelated violent crime in Beaufort. In fact, Gadson had been in prison before and has a criminal history that includes arrests for drug and gun violations, domestic-violence, and assault and battery. He was charged with the sexual assault of a Beaufort woman in 1983 and eventually pleaded no contest to assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature. The victim in that case, who now lives in Virginia, testified in this week’s trial, revealing several similarities between the attack on her and the attack on Krulewicz’s girlfriend. Many of the witnesses and investigators who initially worked on Krulewicz’s murder case died in the intervening years. However, several forensics and DNA experts testified for the prosecution. So did Gerry Wagner, who led the Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office investigation in the 1980s and is now retired and living in Alabama. Circuit Court Judge Brooks P. Goldsmith handed down Gadson’s sentence.

MAY 31 - JUNE 6, 2018
Members of the Parris Island Marine Band played patriotic music as people entered the John McVey Performing Arts Center at Battery Creek High School on Monday.
To determine the most patriotic community in each state, Insurify analyzed over 900,000 auto insurance applications that indicated whether any individual named on the policy was a current or former service member. The resulting data set was analyzed to determine the percentage of residents in each community who identify as current or former military, and the top-ranking city in each state
was identified. “This is a wonderful recognition of what we in Beaufort are keenly aware of ” said City Manager Bill Prokop. “Our military families are a large part of our community and integral to the vitality of Beaufort. We are proud that the United States Marine Corps and the United States Navy continue to call our community home.”

COUNTYCLEANUP More than 70 Beaufort County employees from several departments spent an afternoon last week working under the direction of Public Works Director Dave Wilhelm picking up trash on Highway 170 from the Broad River Bridge to McGarvey’s Corner – a span of about 12 miles. “We had an enthusiastic response from county employees,” Wilhelm said. “We live in this beautiful community and see the same litter as everyone else, so it’s important to set a good example and take the lead in taking care of Beaufort County. I’m really pleased at the results and want to say thank you to all who showed up to help.” In one day, employees filled 382 bags of litter averaging 20 pounds of trash per bag — a total of approximately 7,640 pounds or 3.82 tons of litter. In addition to regular roadside trash, county employees picked up three TVs, several plastic 55-gallon drums and 5-gallon buckets, pieces of plywood and other construction lumber, and a handful of A/C filters. A boat and trailer abandoned near Lemon Island were hauled away as well. “This was a fantastic opportunity for our employees to give back to the community,” Interim County Administrator Josh Gruber said. “You don’t work in county government if you don’t care about the community you live in. This was an outward way to show how much we care about Beaufort County.” To help fight the county’s litter problem, contact Keep Beaufort County Beautiful at 843-255-2734 or visit the County’s website at bcgov.net for more information.

Pizza oven produces early-morning smoke scare on Bay Street A call in the early morning hours of Sunday, May 27, led City of Beaufort/Town of Port Royal firefighters to plenty of smoke, but thankfully no fire, at a Bay Street restaurant. Firefighters were called to a possible structure fire at 802 Bay Street around 2 a.m. and arrived to find Beaufort City Police officers on scene and smoke emitting from the side of the building and blowing out onto Bay Street from the side alley way. Firefighters quickly learned that the building itself did not appear to be filling with smoke inside and that the smoke was emitting from a vent on the side of the building. A manager on scene gave the firefighters access to Hearth Pizza restaurant, and further investi-
gation inside the building found that the wood-fired pizza oven had been shut down for the night, the damper for the oven opening had been put in place, and that some fire wood that was pre-staged in the oven for the next day had heat-
ed to a point that it was smoldering. That smoldering wood was causing a larger than normal volume of smoke to be emitted from the oven vent, but there were no active flames. “During normal operations, the fire in the oven is flaming and hot, creating very little smoke, so passersby never even notice anything more than a faint wood fire odor,” said Acting Battalion Chief Lt. Joshua Doud. “However, due to the smoldering wood and a lack of oxygen in the oven, incomplete combustion was occurring, causing much more than normal smoke to come from the vent. As soon as we moved the steel plate that seals the oven a rush of air entered the oven, the wood ignited, burned clean, and was consumed rapidly. The
oven was then shut back down for the evening.” Beaufort Police officers on patrol downtown noticed the abnormality and sounded the alarm. “Everything worked exactly like it is supposed to” according the
Fire Chief Reece Bertholf. “Our police officers who are very familiar with the normal state of things on Bay Street found something out of the ordinary and called it in immediately. Our officers are an integral component of our public safety system in Beaufort and everyone performed flawlessly in what thankfully turned out to be a minor situation.” As a precaution, Ladder Company 2 was set up on Bay Street and firefighters accessed the roof and verified that there were no concerns on the roof. Bay Street was shut down for about an hour. Crews from the Beaufort Police Department, the City of Beaufort/Town of Port Royal Fire Department, Beaufort County EMS, and the Burton Fire District all responded.

Beaufort Code wins Driehaus Award
The City of Beaufort’s form-based code, known as “the Beaufort Code,” was presented the Driehaus Award at the Congress for the New Urbanism (CNU) 26 conference in Savannah on May 18. Mayor Billy Keyserling, Planning Director Libby Anderson, and City Architect
Lauren Kelly were all on hand to receive this prestigious award. The 2018 jury panel’s feedback indicated the Beaufort Code “provides a high-quality model for a small, historic, design-driven city. It demonstrates an exemplary bifurcation between form-based districts and conventional zones and is well-organized and user-friendly.” The Beaufort Code was adopted on June 27th, 2017, and was a culmination of years of planning, discussing, listening and working, Keyserling said. “We are proud of Beaufort, we are proud of our planning department who saw this through, and we are proud of the development potential that this code will guide,” Keyserling said. “We are ever cognizant of the needs of our citizens, community, and developers. We are excited for the opportunity to continue to work with this code to meet the needs of our community.”
Treasurer mails delinquent tax bills
The Beaufort County Treasurer’s Office has mailed 23,791 delinquent property tax bills for the 2017 tax year, totaling approximately $23 million. “Sending delinquent tax bills to notify taxpayers of outstanding taxes is the first step in the delinquency process,” Beaufort County Treasurer Maria Walls said. “Taxpayers should ensure their taxes are paid immediately to avoid additional fees and future collection notifications.” Taxpayers are reminded to keep their mailing address up-to-date with the Treasurer’s
Office for all real and personal property they own. Delinquent tax bills, as well as all other bills and county correspondence, are mailed through the United States Postal Service to the address on record with Beaufort County. A taxpayer can easily update their mailing address and pay delinquent property taxes at mybeaufortcounty.com, by mail or in-person.

Aspen Dental offers free dental care for veterans
Military veterans can take advantage of free dental care during Aspen Dental’s fifth annual Day of Service event on Saturday, June 9. During the annual event, dentists and teams from approximately 500 Aspen Dental offices, including the Bluffton location, will provide free dental care to thousands of veterans. Like millions of other Americans, veterans can struggle to find oral health care when they need it, as they are not eligible for dental benefits through the Veterans Administration unless they are 100% disabled, have a service-related mouth injury or were a prisoner of war. Aspen Dental is working to close this gap through its Healthy Mouth Movement, a community-giving initiative that provides free dental care and oral health education to veterans. Since the launch of the Healthy Mouth Movement, approximately 10,000 dentists and their teams from Aspen Dental practices across the country have volunteered their time and donated more than $10 million in dentistry to more than 17,000 veterans and people in need.

Garden Club to hold annual Garden-A-Day event
For the 24th year, the Beaufort Garden Club invites the public to visit 10 spectacular gardens throughout the area for free as part of the annual Garden-A-Day event. The event is being held in conjunction with National Garden Week from June 4-8 and features two gardens each day in The Point, Habersham, Cottage Farm, Pigeon Point, and Lady’s Island. Garden tours will be held from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. each day, rain or shine. As a special tribute to wildlife, the theme of this year’s tour is “Bee Friendly and Help Our Pollinators.” In spite of weathering two damaging hurricanes in the past 20 months, bringing heavy wind, flooding, salt intrusion, and then snow and multiple weeks of below-freezing weather, Lowcountry gardeners were not deterred even though local landscapes were altered, many permanently. “Gardeners are amazing, adaptable, persistent people
who will produce greenery and blooms no matter what is thrown their way,” said Sheila Drouin, the 2018 Garden-ADay Chair. Garden visitors are asked to not bring pets. The Garden a Day schedule can be found on beaufortgardenclub.com and is as follows: Monday, June 4: Habersham (23 Little Jane Way, 72 River Place) Tuesday, June 5: The Point (507 Craven, 316 Hancock) Wednesday, June 6: Cottage Farm (340 Cottage Farm, 333 Cottage Farm) Thursday, June 7: Pigeon Point (1315 Laudonnierre, 919 La Chere 29902) Friday, June 8: Lady’s Island (14 Harborview Circle, 7 High Point)

Outside of Beaufort, we donated 500 pounds of clothing to Hurricane Harvey victims in Texas. The reach of 2or3 Treasure House is truly inspiring.” 2or3 Treasure House is located at 203 Carteret St. in downtown Beaufort. Store hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Saturday.

different auto insurance laws, and if you're moving to a new state, you'll need a new auto insurance policy – plain and simple. Most state laws require you to have homeowner's insurance before you even buy a home. If you're covered by State Farm, you should be able to get a prorated credit from your old homeowner's policy when you're signing up for a new one in a new state. Are your possessions covered while you're moving? Depending on how you've chosen to move — hired movers, rental truck, a portable container, or DIY in the back of your old Honda — your property may or may not be covered between the time it leaves your home and arrives at its final destination. Some homeowner policies will cover
your property everywhere, regardless of whether it's in your home or in a moving truck. Other policies won't cover anything once it's out your door. So double-check your policy or call your agent. If your own insurance policy won't cover your property, you can get coverage through your moving company. By federal law, moving companies have to offer supplemental insurance for your property that will cover a set percentage of replacement costs, but you'll need to increase that amount to get full coverage. Because insurance protection is a contract, any coverage descriptions in this article are general only and are not statements of contract. All coverages are subject to all policy provisions, including applicable endorsements.

Tips for Daily Prayer
“God, Are You Listening?” Persevering when prayers seem unanswered Sometimes it feels like God isn’t answering our prayers. It is exciting when we ask God for something and he immediately grants our request. But what about when we keep praying for a particular person or need, and nothing seems to happen? We can feel discouraged or start to doubt God. We might start to wonder, “Is God not listening? Or does he not care?” God is a loving Father who wants what is best for us. When parents care about their child, they don’t say yes to every request he makes. This is not because they are not listening or don’t care, but because they love him and want what is best for him. In the same way, God loves us and knows what is best for us. He wants to help us grow into the saint that he is calling us to be. As a loving Father, sometimes God says “no.” We might ask the Lord for a particular job, for example, and not get hired. It could be that he knows that this is not actually what we need, and he has something better planned for us. Looking back on the things we have asked God for over the years, we can probably recognize many situations where we are now grateful that God told us no!
Prayer brings us closer to God, even in hardships. Being a follower of Jesus does not mean that we won’t experience grief, pain, or hardships. After all, the Lord experienced all of these things, and we shouldn’t expect any less. (John 15:20) In our daily prayer time, we experience Jesus walking with us, and he helps us carry our burdens. In prayer, we receive strength to keep trusting in God during difficult times. Persevere in prayer! Jesus gave the example of a man who keeps knocking at his neighbor’s door, not giving up until the neighbor opens the door and helps. (Luke 11:5-10) That’s how we should be in prayer. Keep knocking, and don’t give up! But remember that prayer isn’t just about asking God for things. Give him thanks for your blessings, praise him for his goodness, and enjoy being with him!
Sometimes God says, “not yet.” Prayer often takes time. We might be praying for years for a friend to believe in God, for example, and feel like nothing is happening. But we keep at it, and one day, the friend suddenly comes to faith! Prayer has been compared to an axe cutting away at a tree: the tree will come down, but not in one stroke. One might cut at the tree hundreds of times with seemingly no results, but then all of a sudden the tree comes crashing down!

BUSINESS BRIEFS Monkey’s Uncle moving across Bay Street
Monkey’s Uncle is moving to a new home at 909 Bay St. in downtown Beaufort. The larger space will provide more of the experiences shoppers have come to expect from the locally-owned business, which has been offering a unique selection of toys, games, puzzles, novelties, baby gifts, and children’s books since 2013. The new space — expected to be up and running the first week of June — is the former home of Hollyhocks, which moved two doors down earlier this year. Monkey’s Uncle owners Joe and Liz O’Brien will use the extra room to expand on the store’s strengths, including more events like game nights and visits from Curious George, Pete the Cat, and other popular children’s book characters; an expanded book section; a wider variety of both new and traditional family games, as well as puzzles from Rubik’s and Hanayama; more baby gifts; and the return of the animal poppers. The store also plans to offer a discount for active-duty military families all day, every day. One thing that won’t change, the O’Briens say, is their priority of building relationships with customers. “Whether you’re a long-time FOMU (Friend of Monkey’s Uncle) or a new arrival, we invite you to visit the store’s new space and embrace the fun,” said Joe O’Brien.
Parker’s opens new store on St. Helena Island
Parker’s has opened its newest retail location on St. Helena Island, offering fresh, Southern-inspired food, friendly customer service and competitively priced fuel for customers throughout the region. The architectural design of the company’s 53rd store, located at 856 Sea Island Pkwy, was developed with sensitivity and respect for the historic character of St. Helena Island. “We took a dilapidated, metal-sided building and replaced it with a beautiful new convenience store defined by inspired Low-
country vernacular architecture,” said Parker’s President and CEO Greg Parker. “We are incredibly honored to be part of the St. Helena Island community.” The new location features a full-service Parker’s Kitchen with extended food service hours from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m., seven days a week. Customers can enjoy fresh Southern fried chicken tenders made from scratch daily as well as a full breakfast bar, daily specials, family meal deals, sandwiches and cookies. The new Parker’s store on St. Helena Island, which is the company’s 15th location in South Carolina and 13th store in Beaufort County, offers a full selection of signature Parker’s amenities. “Our newest Parker’s location will serve the northern Beaufort County barrier island communities of St. Helena, Frogmore, Dataw Island, Hunting Island and Fripp Island, providing customers with the full Parker’s experience,” said Parker. “We want to bring our Fast, Fresh and Friendly service to the areas in and around St. Helena Island.” Parker’s recently donated $25,000 to Beaufort County Schools as part of the company’s Fueling the Community charitable initiative, which gives a portion of gas sold on the first Wednesday of each month to area schools. Parker’s has donated nearly $1 million to area schools since the inception of the Fueling the Community program in 2011 and has a commitment to giving back to every community where the company operates retail stores.

BEAUFORT HISTORY MUSEUM
Renovated Exhibit Hall now open at Arsenal Something very old is new again at Beaufort’s famous Arsenal. The Beaufort History Museum, which occupies the second floor of the historic building, has completed the renovation of its Exhibit Hall, which is now open to the public. “Since 1939 we have been Beaufort’s history museum, “ said Larry Koolkin, a director and co-chairman of the Exhibits Committee. “Coming home to the Arsenal has allowed us to ‘repaint the canvas’ and present our extensive collection, telling the 500-year history of the Beaufort District, in a fresh way that engages all ages.” HW Exhibits, a Charleston-based exhibit design firm, created the new design based on the museum’s impressive collection of artifacts and images. The firm, headed by Carol Poplin, also handled the fabrication and installation of the exhibits. The museum’s materials display history of the Beaufort District in storyboards organized into separate subject areas such as First People, European Exploration, Rice and Cotton, the Civil War, 20th Century Tourism, and more. There are three sections: • Ecology – examining how the Beaufort District’s history is tied to the region’s geography, climate, landscape and ecology; • Discovery and early settlement – exploring American Indian ways of life through early exploration European settlement, the plantations era, and the Civil War: • Modernization and growth – focusing on 20th century industries such as oystering phosphates, the military, truck farming, and tourism. “This is a very exciting and important time for Beaufort and for the Museum. We have come a long way but our journey has just begun,” Koolkin said. “The new exhibit hall represents Phase I of the renovation. Phase II, due to be completed next year, will include larger, centrally placed displays and visitor interaction enhanced with leading-edge technology. We think visitors will embrace this chance to experience the history of our area and that they will especially enjoy our user-friendly approach.” The Arsenal address is 713 Craven Street. Normal BHM hours of operation are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Docents are on duty to provide information and conduct tours. Please visit beauforthistorymuseum.com or the BHM Facebook page for updates and news from the museum.
YMCA gearing up for summer programs The Beaufort-Jasper YMCA of the Lowcountry is getting ready for an influx of programming and activities that stimulate both mind and body in an effort to help children have an amazing summer. “It’s important that children both play and learn throughout the summer,” says Kaylin Garst, Wardle Family YMCA Branch Executive Director. “From summer camp to swim lessons to providing free meals, the Y is able to support children in Beaufort and Jasper counties and helps them discover and reach their full potential.” YMCA camps include traditional camp, kiddie camp (for kids age 3-4), specialty camps, and Counselor in Training (CIT) camp for teens that want to become summer camp counselors one day. Day camp at the Y provides kids with adventure, healthy fun, personal growth and friendships that can take a so-so summer and turn it into a memory that lasts a lifetime. YMCA camps provide a welcoming environment for kids where they can belong, build relationships, develop character and discover their potential. This year, summer day camp will be provided to at least 700 campers and will be held at six locations in Beaufort & Jasper counties, including the Wardle Family Y, Okatie Elementary, Lady’s Island Elementary, Hardeeville Elementary, Ridgeland Elementary and the third year of the Migrant Education camp held at St. Helena Elementary. This year’s specialty camps offer unique
opportunities for campers to delve into specific areas of interest like tennis, basketball, baseball, science, crafts, nature, art, and golf. There is even a travel camp that offers a different trip every day to places like Get Air Savannah, Oatland Island Wildlife Center, Station 300, and more. First Tee Golf Camp is new this year, and campers will receive quality golf instruction from trained First Tee coaches and volunteers. Back again are popular camps Camp Diva, indoor soccer, STEAM camp, and Maritime Center camp. Since summer is synonymous with swim season, the Y encourages families to explore the benefits of swimming while also keeping
safety in mind. Through the Y’s swim lessons, parents and caregivers are encouraged to help their children learn fundamental water safety and swimming skills. The Wardle Family Y offers monthly group lessons in the evenings as well as during the day during the summer. Private lessons are also available for children and adults. Without access to educational activities during the summer, children who are already behind in reading are at risk of falling further behind their peers. For children who need additional help with their reading skills, the Y is offering learning loss prevention for all participants in traditional camp. The Sum-
mer Learning Loss Prevention Program, a national initiative at the Y, supports cognitive, physical and social-emotional growth while focusing on helping children read at grade level. Youth in traditional camp spend the second part of their day enjoying fun activities like swimming, gym games, and camp songs plus their ‘campers choice’ of activities that include dance, yoga, gaga pit, and cooking. And while these programs keep local children busy and engaged throughout the summer, kids can’t focus when they’re hungry. Children who rely on low-cost or free meals during the school year are at risk of going hungry when school’s not in session. The Y’s Summer Food Program helps fill that gap to make sure kids can enjoy healthy meals and snacks at no additional cost throughout the summer. This year the Wardle Family YMCA expects to serve 62,000 free, healthy meals to youth program participants. Whether it’s keeping little ones full, helping children read, keeping kids safe around water, or keeping them active and engaged throughout the summer, the Y has a program to benefit all youth in the community. The Y offers financial assistance for most programs including summer camp, membership, and after-school care. In 2017, $340,000 in scholarship assistance was provided to individuals and families for Y programs and services. To learn more, visit beaufort-jasaperymca. org or call 843.522.8622.

DeVonte Holloman is no stranger to the atmosphere of Eagle Stadium, having spent the past three seasons as Beaufort High School’s defensive coordinator. But the Eagles’ new head coach was still a little taken aback by the setting for his first “gameday” situation at the helm. “It was awesome,” Holloman said of Beaufort High’s spring game Friday, May 25. “I wasn’t expecting the turnout. Lots of people. Lots of positive energy.” The Eagles have plenty to build on as Holloman takes over for longtime coach Mark Clifford, who stepped down after the season and moved around the corner to Beaufort Academy. Two-way standout Jeffrey Smyth is back to run the offense at quarterback and anchor the secondary One of the biggest holes to fill for the Eagles is replacing Kyleik Middleton, who rushed for 1,260 yards and 15 touchdowns last season, but Holloman was impressed with the tandem of Logan Adkins and James Dagin this spring. Defensive lineman Chase Guynup also had a strong spring. “The kids did some good things on the field,” Holloman said. “We are looking forward to having a great summer and then can’t wait for Friday night lights at Beaufort High this fall.” The Eagles will open the season at home against A.C. Flora at 7:30 p.m. on Aug. 17.

Wood wins NWGA event at Sanctuary Elaine Wood of Spanish Fort, Alabama, carded a 54-hole score of 1-under-par 212 to claim a four-shot victory at the National Women’s Golf Association’s (NWGA) Eggland’s Best Tour Championship this weekend at Sanctuary Golf Club on Cat Island. Wood followed up a 2-over 73 in the opening round to shoot 69 and 70 over the final two rounds and pull away from runner-up Summer Roachell of Conway, Arkansas. Former Clemson star Sydney Legacy held the lead after a first-round 68 but finished third at 5-over for the tournament. It was the third title of the season for Wood, who earned a $6,000 payday and moved into first place in the NWGA Player of the Year standings. “I can’t believe it,” Wood said. “I have put a lot of work into my game, and it is always satisfying to see that work and practice resulting in not only wins, but holding up and performing well in a competitive tournament environment.” Performing well is certainly something Wood has done in her rookie season as a professional. In her first 13 events this season, Wood has earned three wins and six top-10 finishes, with a scoring average of 73. The win this week moves Wood to the top of the Order of Merit with over $15,000 in
earnings and bonus monies. In addition to the win this week, Wood secured one of the three Q-School Bonus Awards in the amount of $2,500. “I can’t thank the NWGA and Eggland’s Best enough for giving us the opportunities they have provided,” Wood said. “The support that Eggland’s Best has given the tour in providing quality golf tournaments with opportunities to play for more money is such an important thing for us at this level as we are trying to reach our goals.”

Registration open for Virtual Summer Reading Challenge Hundreds of rising kindergarten through eighth-grade students are expected to register for the Beaufort County School District’s Virtual Summer Reading Challenge, which lets students log their summer reading online. Students who meet reading goals for their grade levels will earn certificates of celebration from the school district. This will be the district’s ninth year offering an eight-week virtual program for students. This summer, students can read and log their reading using computers or mobile devices in their homes, or using computers at various community partners around Beaufort County. Students can log any reading they complete between June 11 and Aug. 3. This might be reading for pleasure, for the Beaufort County Library summer reading program, or for an individual school’s summer reading program.
Chrissy Robinson, the district’s Director of Educational Technology, said results from Measures of Academic Progress testing indicate that students tend to experience “summer loss” when they don’t have the chance to keep their skills sharp over the summer. This can be avoided if students are engaged in reading during the summer, Robinson said. “It’s similar to playing a musical instrument,” said Melissa Murray, the district’s Coordinator of English and Language Arts. “If you don’t practice for several months, you will lose some of your skills and not be as prepared as students who practiced during the summer.” While students are encouraged to read from lists provided by their schools and to select materials at their grade levels, they ultimately can read what they want, when they want. The Beaufort County Library
and many schools have their own summer reading programs, and those books also can be logged with the district’s Virtual Summer Reading Challenge. “Studies show that allowing students to choose their own books promotes a love for lifelong reading,” Robinson said. The Beaufort County Board of Education has pushed to make the popular summer online program available to more students because research suggests that summer achievement loss is greatest among students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. In past years, about half of summer participants have been from low-income families. This year, there will be a push to share literacy information and reading resources with parents so they are better equipped to encourage their children to read and know where they can access free print and digital reading materials.
In addition to students who participate with their families, students can also participate through a partnership between the district and Neighborhood Outreach Connection, which has locations throughout Beaufort County. Throughout the eight-week program, Virtual Reading Challenge facilitators Estee Williams and Eve Heaton will monitor student reading submissions, send reminders to log reading and also provide a steady stream of literacy-related information and activities. For more information on the program and a registration link, visit: https://tinyurl.com/ BCSDVirtualSchool2018 Any community group interested in utilizing Virtual Summer Reading Challenge as part of its summer program is encouraged to get in touch with facilitator Estee Williams (estee.williams@beaufort.k12.sc.us).

VOICES & WINE
L & J’s Great American Adventure For several years now, my spouse and I have discussed traveling out west. We have both been to California, but that vast area of land between the Mississippi River and the California coast is totally foreign to us. It seemed like every time we tried to plan on it, something else would come up. There were birthdays, weddings, and reunions to attend. This year, the only “event” is my niece Kierra’s wedding in September. “It is now or never!,” we said to each other, and we started to plan the trip. My spouse went out and bought books, atlases, and other materials for the trip planning. I started to talk to people to find out what part they liked the best about the west. I was surprised there were so many diverse interests. One friend recommended the mule ride to the bottom of the Grand Canyon. She loved it. But after hearing
Now what?

about the scary edges and the sore legs, I decided it was not something I was up to right now. Another couple who went out west last year for the first time said they were interested in the wildlife. They saw cougars, grizzly bears, eagles, hawks, prairie dogs, and American bison. They were thrilled to see some of the animals up close. Others loved the exercise aspect like hik-

100% Satisfaction Guaranteed
Dear Editor, Rep. Mark Sanford deserves credit for standing up for taxpayers and trying to improve the Farm Bill that recently failed in the House of Representatives. He demonstrated leadership by attempting to shave 10 percent off the government guaranteed annual profits for crop insurance companies. His amendment and no vote on the wasteful final bill demonstrate that Rep. Sanford will stand with taxpayers and against Washington special interests. Prior to 2014, a farm bill had never failed to pass the House floor. Now it’s happened twice in five years. Business as usual farm bills are no longer an option. It’s time all communities and all corners of the agriculture sector are heard, rather than simply those with the best lobbyists. Proposed improvements to the bill must be won or lost on the merits instead of being scuttled by leadership behind closed doors and without a vote as was recently the case. Failure to pass the status-quo farm bill provides Congress a rare do-over. They should take this opportunity and write and actually debate a farm bill that is cost-effective, transparent, responsive to need, and most importantly, accountable to taxpayers footing the bill. Sincerely, Ryan Alexander President, Taxpayers for Common Sense

ing, biking, and white river rafting. Then I started getting e-mails regarding the supplies I need to carry in my backpack for these activities. I do not own a backpack and after hearing from my other friends who loved the wildlife, I decided that hiking was probably not in my future. Another couple who did the helicopter tour in the Grand Canyon said it was spectacular. There was a moment of terror when
they were coming out of the canyon, but otherwise they loved it. My sister Maureen loved the desert in Arizona. She said the best part of her whole trip was the healing spa and massage she got after a jeep ride into the hills. That sounded perfect to me – not the jeep ride, but the massage. Of course, everyone talked about the unique scenery we do not see here on the east coast and advised taking a good camera. I do want to photograph the Rocky Mountains, the Grand Canyon, and Yellowstone Park on our trip. We are not quite sure all the things we will do on our trip, though I do want to go up for a hot air balloon ride, and my spouse wants to go fly fishing. Wherever our great American adventure takes us, I am sure I will come back with a few interesting stories.
This week’s wine is a mouthful to pronounce, but thankfully much easier to sip. It’s an Italian wine, though, and Italian wine names are pretty easy to pronounce once you believe they are pronounced just like they’re spelled. So we’ll cover our Italian lesson, and then we can sip away. Our wine comes from the Abruzzo (a-brutso) region, located on the eastern coast of Italy. Due east of Rome, Abruzzo is known as the greenest region in Europe. Over half of it is set aside for national parks, reserves, and forests. Humans have lived in this region since Neolithic times. The people of Abruzzo, honored as citizens of Rome as far back as the 4th century B.C., were described by historians as being “forte e gentile” — strong and gentle. There is fossil evidence in this part of Italy that dates back two million years. The first evidence of wine production in Abruzzo dates to pre-Roman times, with funeral pottery wine vessels. Abruzzo has two climate zones — the coastal areas with hot, dry summers and mild winters, and the interior, hillier areas that have more rain at higher elevation. The coastal area has typical shrub-like plants including myrtle and heather. The hills have olive and pine trees as well acacia, caper, rosemary, and hawthorn bushes. Our wine comes from an area that runs from the lower foothills to a few miles inland from the coast. The DOC is Montepulciano d’Abruzzo. Montepulciano (mont-eh-pull-chi-ah-no) is a red grape variety. (Except in Tuscany where it is a town name. So it means something entirely different on Tuscan wine labels.) The grape Montepulciano is widely planted in central and southern Italy. It probably originated in Tuscany (but no connection to the town) and may be related somehow to Sangiovese. It is the second-most planted indigenous variety in Italy and is allowed in 20 of the country’s 95 provinces. Montepulciano d’Abruzzo is its best known appellation, classified in 1968. In the late-20th and early-21st centuries, these wines were the most widely exported Italian wines. DOC laws allow up to 15 percent Sangiovese to be blended in. The wines must be aged for a minimum five months before being sold. They are deeply
colored with black cherry, pepper, and spice notes. Aromatic, with earthy notes, low acidity levels, smooth tannins and a syrupy texture. Even though these wines can age for several years, they are meant to be Celia Strong enjoyed young – and often. Cantina Tollo is the producer of our Montepulciano d’Abruzzo. Tollo is a co-op, where the farmers are the owners of the company. In many areas throughout Europe, where individual land holdings are small, owners with similar goals and standards form co-ops to share expenses and gain support. Tollo was founded in 1968 and has 980 members who farm over 8,600 acres of vineyards. All geared to make the best, most traditional Abruzzo wines. Large Slavonian oak casks and barrels, along with modern facilities for aging wines make the Tollo cellars a star in Abruzzo wine culture. Today, Tollo is considered to be one of the best co-ops in Italy. Cantina Tollo Montepulciano d’Abruuzo Valle d’Oro is our specific wine. It is made with 100 percent Montepulciano, most of the grapes coming from the Chieti sub-region in Abruzzo. The grapes grow in clay and limestone soil, on 10- to 20-year-old vines. After harvest, maceration is done at controlled, cooler temperatures and the fermentation is also at a cooler temperature to enhance colors and aromas and fruit flavors. Only partial malolactic fermentation is done. The wine is aged for 18 months in large barrels. It has a deep purply, ruby color and floods out of your glass with black cherry, black plum, and licorice primary aromas. Its flavors are jammy and rich. And its textures are plump but not clinging. It pairs really well with rich and fatty foods, like pizzas, roast pork, meat pies, brisket, barbecue, and cheeses like Asiago, Parmesan, and aged Cheddar. Hopefully, our pronunciation is done so we can move on to the all important sipping stage. Easy summer sipping for $11.99. Enjoy. Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island.
