Vet has honor of seeing his new-Marine grandson graduate
U.S. Marine Private Skylar Martin was happy that his grandfather, former Marine Jim Pike, was able to attend his graduation on Nov. 4. Photos by Elizabeth Moore, multimedia director, Honor Flight Savannah.

“Is it real? Is this for me?” World War II veteran and former Marine Jim G. Pike couldn’t believe his dream was actually coming true. The 94-year-old was going to be able to see his grandson graduate from Marine Corps boot camp.
“Dad’s goal was always to see Skylar graduate. And now, it’s happening,” said his daughter, April Martin. Honor flight Although Pike was given medical approval to travel to the graduation on Parris Island, the 10-plus hour car ride would
have been too much, so Martin contacted Honor Flight Southern Indiana. With 130 chapters nationwide, Honor Flight is a network of volunteers whose mission it is to escort veterans free of charge to Washington D.C. to visit the memorials built in their honor.
This trip was an exception, said board member Jim Weiskopf. “It’s not part of our normal mission, but when our Southern Indiana counterpart asked for help, we wanted to assist in any See MARINE, page A9

Students to make up 4 days in December After several members reconsidered their votes, the Beaufort County board of education changed course and decided to make up four of the eight instructional days lost to Hurricane Matthew by shortening winter break rather than by extending the first semester into January, according to a district release. Full instructional days will now be held Monday, Dec. 19, through Wednesday, Dec. 21, with all schools operating on normal schedules. Students will have a half-day on Thursday, Dec. 22, which will be the final day before winter break. Students will return from winter break on Jan. 4. Seven of the 10 board members participating in the meeting voted to make up four days in December, which was the option favored by school principals, by school district employees and district parents in a pair of online surveys, and by two advisory groups of high school students. Board members who changed their votes said they were increasingly concerned about extending the first semester into mid-January, which would have created problems for high school students taking important end-of-course exams after winter break, seniors who planned to graduate early and begin college in early January, and high school students who planned to begin taking dual-credit college-level courses in early January. Superintendent Jeff Moss said that school principals would work with parents and employees whose families have travel plans or schedule commitments for Dec. 19-22. “We certainly understand the complications that may arise from this change, and any parents or employees with scheduling problems should contact their principals immediately,” Moss said. “Our schools See DAYS, page A9

Police: Gun, drugs found during traffic stop
A traffic stop on Nov. 3 at U.S. 278 at Buck Island Road led to police finding drugs and a gun, according to a Bluffton police report. During the traffic stop, the officer said he smelled the odor of marijuana. When the officer asked for the license and registration of the driver, it was found she was driving under a suspended license and was cited.

Police say Smith was also in possession of a stolen firearm, marijuana and cocaine. Once Smith was placed in handcuffs, he began yelling profanities at the officer and threatened to kill him. Smith was charged with simple possession of marijuana; possession of drug paraphernalia; giving false information to law enforcement; trafficking cocaine; unlawful carry of a pistol; felon in possession of a firearm; possession of a stolen firearm; possession of a firearm during a violent crime; and threatening a public official. Smith is being held at the Beaufort County Detention Center.

Crime victim services coordination announced
Gov. Nikki Haley, Attorney General Alan Wilson and victims advocates recently announced the formation of the Crime Victim Services of South Carolina. In an effort to improve services for crime victims, legislation will be proposed to consolidate, co-locate and better coordinate multiple state agencies to the Attorney General’s Office. The new “Crime Victim Services” will include the State Office of Victim Assistance and the Crime Victim’s Ombudsman, currently at the Department of Administration, and the Division of Victim Assistance Grants, currently at the Department of Public Safety. Approximately 55 employees will be affected with no fiscal impact to the state. “We are giving crime victim services a home in South Carolina for the first time in our state’s history,” said Haley during an event held at Columbia’s Crime Victims Memorial Gardens that was attended by members of the General Assembly and other stakeholders. “Combining these agencies and streamlining their services is the right thing to do. Citizens deserve good government, victims deserve justice, and this is one more step forward to improve how we work for the people," she said. With a targeted effective date of July 1, 2017, the governor will issue Executive Order 2016-43, which establishes a Crime Victim Services Transition Team to develop a plan for transitioning the administration of agencies and employees.

State offers help with child ID theft
The South Carolina Department of Consumer Affairs (SCDCA) is offering a new guide that outlines the warning signs of child identity theft and best practices for preventing it. Most notably, the guide encourages consumers to utilize the protected consumer freeze, a tool made available to South Carolina residents last year. The protected consumer freeze allows parents, guardians and representatives to create and freeze a protected consumer’s credit file for free. This line of defense is for protected consumers who do not currently have a credit
report. Upon receiving a request on behalf of a protected consumer, the credit reporting agency will create a credit file in that consumer’s name and freeze it. For more information on child identity theft and the protected consumer freeze, visit www.consumer.sc.gov and click “Report Identity Theft,” and then view “Child Identity Theft, What You Need to Know.”

Local man serving on U.S. Navy submarine
A 1998 Hilton Head High School graduate is serving in the U.S. Navy as part of an integrated crew of sailors and civilian mariners working aboard the expeditionary submarine tender, USS Emory S. Land. Petty Officer 1st Class Matthew Thompson serves in Guam as part of a forward deployed naval force in the Pacific. He is responsible for testing the structural integrity of various equipment on the submarines to make sure they are in Matthew good working order. Thompson “Guam sailors are located at our nation’s most strategically important forward-deployed submarine base, and the missions they conduct at the tip of the spear are incredible,” said Capt. David Schappert, commander, Submarine Squadron 15. “They are constantly challenged and continually rise to meet and exceed expectations. Guam is the place to be for subma-
riners, and we have the ‘Go Guam!’ initiative to showcase all the great things we do out here.” With a crew of 41 officers and 650 enlisted, submarine tenders are 649-feet long and weigh approximately 23,347 tons. A steam-powered propulsion system helps push submarine tenders through the water at nearly 21 mph. “It’s a privilege and honor to serve and participate in our longstanding heritage of the naval service," Thompson said.

County launches new disaster recovery website
Beaufort County has launched a new disaster recovery website that will serve as a one-stop portal for residents, businesses and municipalities to gain information about services available to them in the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew. “After any natural disaster, a community’s residents instantly seek out information and are at risk of receiving misinformation,” said
South State Bank will provide assistance to individuals affected by Hurricane Matthew by introducing new disaster recovery programs for customers. The Disaster Relief Personal Loan and Catastrophe Savings Account are designed to assist customers with recovery efforts following the recent hurricane and subsequent flooding. “Hurricane Matthew had a significant impact on many of the communities we serve,” said John F. Windley, president and CEO of South State Bank. “We have developed programs and services to assist our customers in the affected areas. We are committed to providing assistance to help people through the recovery effort.” The Disaster Relief Personal Loan includes low rates and special terms to help individuals get the funds they need to recover more quickly. The features of this loan include flexible terms, which will allow individuals to borrow up to $50,000 to help with needs incurred as a result of the recent hurricane. This loan is unsecured, meaning it will not leverage a customer’s home or other assets. Additionally, the Catastrophe Savings Account (CSA) is designed for South Carolina residents to save money to help alleviate the financial burden of a future disaster. A CSA can help customers pay for qualified catastrophic expenses that result from a hurricane, flood or other catastrophic event declared an emergency by FEMA. In South Carolina, the money placed in a CSA and the annual interest on that money are not subject to state income taxes if left in the account or used for qualified catastrophe expenses. Qualified expenses include insurance deductibles, out-of-pocket costs resulting from the catastrophe and uninsured loss
resulting from the catastrophe. This account is limited to South Carolina residents. Visit SouthStateBank.com or a local South State branch, or call 1-800-277-2175.
Realtors chip in to help victims
The Beaufort County Association of Realtors, the Hilton Head Area Association of Realtors and the South Carolina Realtors have partnered with the Realtor Relief Foundation and the state associations in Georgia and North Carolina to enter into a joint cooperative that will provide relief to victims of Hurricane Matthew. The foundation is providing mortgage or rent relief up to $1,000 to those who qualify. The relief is available to South Carolina residents who have suffered property damage to their primary residence as a result of Hurricane Matthew. Assistance is available to qualified applicants for one of the following options: monthly mortgage expense for the primary residence that was damaged by Hurricane Matthew, or rental cost of temporary shelter due to displacement from the primary residence resulting from the storm. Relief assistance is limited to $1,000 per applicant and one grant per residence. Go to www.beaufortscreatlors.com, www. hhrealtors.com or screaltors.org/realtorrelief for the application, and review and submit with required documents.

Area
The overall improvement in real estate sales continued through the third quarter of 2016. All five areas we normally cover other than Mossy Oaks saw some improvement in sales volume. Actual unit sales were more of a mixed bag. The city of Beaufort had an outstanding third quarter compared to the same period in 2015. Sales were up substantially, both in volume and units. Very notable was the increase in average and median prices. Across-the-board average and median sales prices saw an upward trend, apart from one or two segments. As we have mentioned in the past, inventory has been declining and sales have been very steady for the last two to three years, so it could only be a matter of time before the pressure on prices finally started to show up. Mossy Oaks saw a slow-ish quarter, and although there were some negative numbers, there was nothing to get depressed about. Port Royal was down in actual unit sales, but with increases in selling values, the town had quite a positive quarter. I am not sure how much new construction there is a Port Royal at the moment, as compared to the past when that had pushed the area to the forefront of

single-family housing. Almost the same could be said for Burton as for Port Royal. Their real estate makeup is very similar. They have well-established areas, in conjunction with new construction from national builders. Lady’s Island had a very strong third quarter, with a substantial increase in unit sales – 122 compared to 93 in 2015. This in turn pushed up their sales volume to an impressive $35.3 million. It is worthy to note that prices were pretty neutral compared to other areas. This could be a reflection on new home building by national companies keeping a lid on price increases by increasing the
available inventory. Total Northern Beaufort County was up across the board.

Matthew Hurt, center, is the recipient of the 2016 "Spirit of Giving" Award. He is shown here with Beaufort Memorial Foundation Chairman Hugh Gouldthorpe and Beaufort Memorial Hospital CEO Russell Baxley.
BMH employee is honored with Spirit of Giving Award
Beaufort Memorial Hospital Foundation trustees surprised Advanced Imaging Manager Matthew Hurt with the 2016 Spirit of Giving Award at the nonprofit group’s annual meeting. A tireless volunteer with a number of local organizations, Hurt was recognized for all he has done for his own hospital over the years. Foundation Chairman Hugh Gouldthorpe recognized Hurt for consistently stepping up to help with employee-giving activities and taking the extra initiative to email BMH staff to encourage them to make a year-end gift to the foundation. In addition, Hurt paved the way for the foundation to receive for the first time a grant from the Beaufort Charities Golf Tournament. The chairman noted that Hurt “walks the talk” through his own very generous support of the foundation. Hurt has been a foundation supporter since 2001. The Spirit of Giving Award is presented each year to someone within the hospital who not only has been personally generous to the foundation, but helps others see the value in supporting the hospital.
BMH earns ‘A’ for patient safety
Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grades — the most complete picture of patient safety in the U.S. — awarded Beaufort Memorial an “A” in its fall 2016 report card. Out of the 47 hospitals in the state, BMH was one of 16 to receive the top grade. “Beaufort Memorial has worked diligently to improve patient safety in every area of care, from hospital-acquired infections to preventing adverse drug reactions,” BMH President and CEO Russell Baxley said. “Achieving an ‘A’ grade is a testament to the commitment our staff has shown to protecting our patients.” Developed under the guidance of an expert panel, Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grades uses 30 measures of hospital safety data to assign A, B, C, D and F grades to more than 2,600 U.S. hospitals twice a year. Hospitals are graded based on how they scored in five major categories: infections, problems with surgery, practices to prevent errors, safety problems and doctors, nurses and hospital staff. The score rates things like how well the hospital does to prevent infection and encourage hand washing and if there are procedures in place to prevent errors. Most recently, BMH invested in a $100,000 portable robot that kills antibiotic-resistant germs using high-intensity, pulsed ultraviolet light. It is the first hospital in South Carolina to use the cutting-edge technology, proven effective in hospitals like the prestigious MD Anderson Cancer Centers. In addition, the nonprofit hospital created a pharmacist-led medication reconciliation team tasked with obtaining a complete and accurate record of a patient’s drug regimen at admission and then monitoring it throughout the continuum of care to prevent inadvertent medication errors. “Protecting patients from harm is the most important charge for any hospital,” said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. “We recognize and appreciate ‘A’ hospitals’ vigilance and continued dedication to keeping their patients safe.” Leapfrog’s biannual report is available A8

Forum to focus on drug, alcohol use
The Lowcountry Alliance for Healthy Youth (LCAHY) is hosting a Community Forum from 6-8 p.m. Monday, Nov. 14, at Bluffton High School. This forum is open to the public and people of all ages are welcome and encouraged to come. There will be three guest speakers to address different aspects of youth in relation to alcohol and marijuana. The forum will also highlight some of the area’s local high school youth who will speak to how they feel the community can help them lead healthier lives. The experts include: • Dr. Lindsay Squeglia, of MUSC, who will discuss the effects of alcohol and marijuana on teen brain development; • Dr. Wendy Bell of the SC Law Enforcement Division, who will discuss medical marijuana myths; • And Andrew Fogner, of the SC Department of Alcohol & Drug Abuse, who will provide an overview of the South Carolina student drug survey. “The purpose of this forum is to engage the public, but more importantly increase awareness our youth face regarding use and substance abuse. We want the public to know what they can do to provide a healthier environment for our teens. The youth are our future, so making sure they see a future should be the primary focus of everyone living and working in this community,” said Wendy Cummings, president of the LCAHY executive board. Visit www.lcahealthyyouth.com or contact Cummings at cummingsfam6@gmail. com.
Retina specialist to speak at Sun City Hilton Head
Dr. Peter Liggett, a retina specialist on Hilton Head, will conduct an educational seminar, “What You Need to Know About Macular Degeneration,” at 10 a.m. Monday, Nov. 14, in the Colleton River Room at Sun City Hilton Head. This event is open to Sun City Hilton Head residents only. Attendees should RSVP by Nov. 10 at hhmr.org/suncity or call 843415-3490. Macular degeneration is caused by the deterioration of the central portion of the retina, the inside back layer of the eye that records the images we see and sends them via the optic nerve from the eye to the brain. The retina’s central portion, known as the macula, is responsible for focusing central vision in the eye. The macula controls our ability to read, drive a car, recognize faces or colors and see objects in fine detail. As people age, their chances for developing eye diseases increase dramatically. Liggett is a leader in the evaluation and treatment of macular and retinal diseases. Liggett has been a clinical professor of ophthalmology at Yale School of Medicine and Weill Cornell College of Medicine. He founded New England Retina Associates, which had six retina specialists and more than 10,000 patient visits per year. He has written more than 75 articles in peer-reviewed journals and edited four major textbooks on diseases of the macula and retina. He is an examiner for the American Board of Ophthalmology, which certifies doctors to practice in ophthalmology. For more information, call 843-422-9987 or visit www.hhmr.org.

way we could.” Working together, Honor Flight Southern Indiana and Honor Flight Savannah took care of all of the travel arrangements for Pike, Martin and Heather Passick, Skylar's girlfriend. The Southern Indiana chapter saw the family off, and the Savannah chapter was at the airport to welcome them. With a surprise. Suzi Oliver, Honor Flight Savannah board member, had arranged for the Low Country Patriot Riders to provide a motorcycle escort to bring the family to their hotel in Beaufort. Dr. Scott Moore, an emergency medicine specialist in Beaufort and a volunteer physician with Honor Flight Savannah, helped supervise Pike’s safe transport and was quickly introduced to the veteran’s personality. “After the long day of travel, Mr. Pike was understandably extremely tired. Just as I was lifting him into the car, he woke up and realized a stranger was holding him. ‘Please be careful, don't drop me,’ he said. I replied, ‘I would never drop a fellow Indiana boy.’ The mention of our shared Indiana roots animated him even more. He quickly added, ‘Indiana. I’m from Evansville.’ “And, I said, "I know, and I’m from Merrillville. We come from opposite ends of the state.’ “As I placed him in the seat of the SUV, the first of several such transfers from his wheelchair to an SUV of the weekend, he enthusiastically said, ‘Thanks a million!’ “I replied, ‘No, it is I who owe you the thanks.’ " Graduation day "I can't believe they are doing this for me,” Pike
said as the family settled in for the main event: graduation. As the troops marched onto the field, the family searched for their soon-to-be-Marine among 618 graduates. April Martin said her son has always been close to his grandfather. “After he retired from the Marines, dad had a part-time job running blueprints. He would take Skylar to work so that he could ‘help,’ ” said Martin, who lives minutes away from the Evansville nursing home where her father now lives. Wrapped in a Marines blanket made by his daughter, Pike sat peacefully and watched the ceremony. As the troops readied for the Pass in Review, the entire field was silent, until the cheer of one very proud grandfather broke the silence. “Hey Skylar!” “I would have to say that was my favorite moment,” said Martin. “Even Skylar could hear dad hollering.” As soon as the graduates were given their final dismissal, Private Martin made his way to his family. Hugs were exchanged, introductions were made and, after the initial flurry of activity, grandfather and grandson were able to have a few quiet moments for their own reunion. "That was the best graduation gift ever, having my grandfather here," said Skylar Martin, who was able to return to Evansville with his family. Within a few weeks, he will be off again, this time to Camp Lejeune. Health complications It was a gift that almost didn’t happen. “Dad had been real sick, in and out of the hospital, for the last couple months,” April Martin said. “But he told the doctors he needed to see his grandson graduate from boot camp.” A few weeks prior to the trip, Pike’s right leg

was essentially dead from a lack of blood flow. Surgery was required, but for someone his age, it could be fatal. “Having some of that old Devil Dog Young Marine spirit in him, he insisted that they take his leg off. He realized that the surgery was his only chance to survive long enough to see Skylar graduate,” said Moore. “And, he was not going to miss it, even if imminent death was his latest enemy.” Pike awakened from surgery missing part of a limb but with his sense of humor intact. "Get my peg leg ready,” he told his surrounding family. “I’m going to need it."
The Gullah Geechee have continued to survive and represent the most tangible living example of one of the outcomes of the Port Royal Experiment, a plan to tutor the freedmen out of slavery and into freedom. Founded in 1862, Penn School was one of the first academic schools in the South established by Northern missionaries, to provide a formal education for formerly enslaved
West Africans. After the school closed in 1948, Penn became the first African-American site in South Carolina whose primary purpose was to safeguard the heritage of a Gullah Geechee community.

from page A1 will be as flexible as they possibly can.” South Carolina regulations covering minimum instructional time meant that the district had to find a way to restore a minimum of four days to the first semester so that high school students could meet their course requirements. A total of eight school days were lost during Hurricane Matthew. The board had already approved a waiver for three days, and the district expects to receive permission from the state board of education to waive up to three additional days. With the board’s vote, key dates on the school year calendar now include: • Nov. 23: Teacher workday, no school • Dec. 15: High school end-of-course testing begins • Dec. 22: Last day of classes (half day) before winter break; first semester ends • Jan. 3: Teacher work day • Jan. 4: Students return from winter break; second semester begins • March 15: Third quarter ends • May 26: Last day of school (half-day) • May 26-June 3: High school graduation ceremonies: May 26 for Whale Branch Early College High; May 30 for Hilton Head Island High; May 31 for Bluffton High; June 1 for Battery Creek High; June 2 for Beaufort High; and June 3 for May River High.

Dash to receive inaugural Robert Smalls Merit & Achievement Award Twenty-five years ago, filmmaker Julie Dash broke through racial and gender boundaries with her Sundance award-winning film (Best Cinematography) “Daughters of the Dust,” and she became the first African-American woman to have a wide theatrical release of her feature film. In 2004, the Library of Congress placed “Daughters of the Dust” in the National Film Registry where it joins a select group of American films preserved and protected as national treasures. Dash is the only African-American woman with a feature film that has been inducted into the National Film Registry. The film was shot in and around Beaufort. On Sunday, Feb. 19, 2017, the Beaufort
Film Society will present Dash with the inaugural Robert Smalls Merit & Achievement Award at the 11th annual Beaufort International Film Festival. "This award has been created to be presented to that filmmaker whose body of work has served as a catalyst for groundbreaking discoveries and societal change. Julie Dash's accomplishments during the last quarter century certainly meets these criteria,” said Ron Tucker, president of the Beaufort Film Society. The award has been named after Beaufort native and Civil War hero Robert Smalls, who rose from a slave to a United States congressman. Restored (in conjunction with UCLA) for
the first time with proper color grading overseen by cinematographer AJ Jafa, audiences will finally see the film exactly as Dash intended. The restored film with be screened at the Beaufort International Julie Dash Film Festival on Saturday, Feb. 18. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion with Dash and others. Dash is currently in production on a feature-length documentary about Vertamae Smart Grosvenor, a world-renowned author, performer, and chef from rural South Carolina who led a remarkably unique and complex
life. The film is based upon Grosvenor's best selling work, “Vibration Cooking: Or the Travel Notes of a Geechee Girl.” Dash earned her MFA in Film & Television production at UCLA; received her BA in Film Production from CCNY, and she was a Producing and Writing Conservatory Fellow at the American Film Institute's Center for Advanced Film Studies. When not working on her projects, Dash is a frequent lecturer at many of the leading universities in the United States.

USCB presents Mozart's ‘unequaled and immortal masterpiece’ By Alan Schuster
Mozart's“Don Giovanni,” which is being performed at 12:55 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 12, at the USCB Center for the Arts, is regarded by many as the greatest opera ever written and is a showcase for gifted singers. For the Met's HD performance, British baritone Simon Keenlyside, in the title role, leads a charismatic team in an irresistibly comic and tragically serious masterpiece. The Met describes its production of the final moments as the one in which Giovanni “goes to hell in a dazzling coup de theatre.” Among Mozart's adherents, three great composers had this to say about the opera. Charles Gounod: “An unequaled and immortal masterpiece. The score has exercised an influence upon the
whole of my life.” Richard Wagner: “Is it possible to find anything more perfect than every piece in Don Giovanni?” Giacomo Rossini, after seeing a Mozart-autographed score for the first time: “I want to bow the knee before this sacred relic.” There was even a royal reaction from Austrian Emperor Joseph II in 1787. After seeing the opera which Mozart attended, Joseph commented to him that “the opera is divine. But such music is not meant for the teeth of my Viennese.” To which Mozart calmly responded, “Give them some time to chew on it.” And finally, when his publisher warned him to incline toward a less dramatic style or risk losing his audience, he replied that he had only composed it “for myself and a few friends.”
Based on the legendary fictional character named Don Juan, aka a “womanizer,” the opera begins at night near Seville when Don Giovanni is seducing a woman named Donna Anna while his servant, Leporello, waits outside. An altercation occurs and Anna enters with her anguished father, the Commandant. Giovanni kills him in a duel, and then escapes with Leporello. Soon, they're confronted on a dark street by Donna Elvira, a distraught victim, and Giovanni escapes once again. The action now moves to a country spot where villagers are celebrating the upcoming marriage of Zerlina and Masetto. Giovanni sees Zerlina and invites everyone to his castle, his motive being to then seduce her.
With the party underway, Giovanni spots three masked strangers from a window and invites them to join. They are Elvira, Anna and her fiancee, Don Ottavio. Once inside, Anna recognizes Giovanni's voice as her father's murderer as he is attempting to seduce Zerlina. This time, Giovanni blames poor Leporello for all wrongdoings. After many dramatic developments, a man in stone appears at Giovanni's castle. Leporello is terrified, but Giovanni invites him – the ghost of the Commandant – to join him for dinner. The statue accepts and, in return, extends a similar invitation to Giovanni. He agrees and they shake hands, whereupon the statue demands that he repent his sins. Giovanni refuses, and a fiery pit opens and engulfs him in flames.

Attorney seeks theological degree Why would a partner in a prominent Lowcountry law firm put a successful law career on hold in order to pursue a post-graduate diploma in theology at the University of Oxford? For Alan Runyan, a partner at Speights & Runyan in Beaufort, it was no easy decision. But in the end, it was a logical conclusion to 20 years of theological self-study and the realization that now was the time to seek something more “official.” And so he traded the paneled courtrooms of American jurisprudence for the hallowed halls of one of England’s most prestigious universities. Oxford traces its heritage back to 1096, making it the oldest university in the English-speaking world. To earn his post graduate diploma, Runyan had to choose three “papers” from among 30 offered in the theology program. A “paper” is similar to a course. He chose Christian Moral Reasoning, Philosophy of Religion and Science and Religion. The coursework is very demanding. In each course students attend a weekly lecture, read 700 to 1,000 pages of specified material, then prepare a weekly essay of 2,500 words. The student then discusses the essay with a tutor in the field. “One must be motivated,” Runyan said, “as reading/ research and essay writ-
SCHOOL BRIEFS STUDENT OF THE WEEK Karen Grandos Grade: 11 School: Bluffton High School Beaufort Academy’s Langdon Taylor and Vann Hefner have been nominated to attend the National Youth Leadership Forum, Pathways to STEM, an envision program to be held next summer. Both Langdon and Vann will be attending the program the week of July 23-28 in Atlanta at Agnes Scott College. NYLF Pathways to STEM is a unique learning experience for bright, forward-thinking elementary and middle school students who will evolve into nextgeneration innovators, engineers, doctors, software developers and scientists.

ing are all self-directed and attendance at lectures is voluntary.” The last term will conclude in June 2017 with a three-hour examination in each paper. The Beaufort lawyer sees many parallels between his present course of study and the curriculum at Holy Trinity Classical Christian School in Beaufort, where he spearheaded the Farrell & Elizabeth Runyan Raise Up a Child campaign. Having served as a board
of trustee member, he is currently serving as a member of Holy Trinity board of governors. “The English tutorial system, in my opinion, is one of the few systems in contemporary culture specifically designed to teach students how to think; in particular, how to communicate a logical argument in both written and oral formats,” he said. “Of course, it is not necessarily ‘Christian,’ as I define that term, but it is certainly classical in its higher forms.”
A group of students from River Ridge Academy participated in a litter pickup day on Bluffton Parkway as part of the school’s partnership with Keep Beaufort County Beautiful, an affiliate of Keep America Beautiful Inc. River Ridge Academy students made a commitment to remove litter from Bluffton Parkway four times per year through the Keep Beaufort County Beautiful Adopt-A-Highway program. “We are so proud of the students for their commitment to their community,” said Caroline Jordan, Keep Beaufort County Beautiful coordinator. The partnership’s success comes in two parts – the students are able to learn about community service and civic engagement, and the parkway remains litter-free and safe for Beaufort County residents. To get involved with Keep Beaufort County Beautiful, call 843-255-2734.
Karen Grandos, an 11th grader at Bluffton High School, is this week’s Student of the Week. She was nominated by English III teacher Nicole Starling. “Karen is always prepared for class, helps her peers and works really hard each day to push herself beyond average work,” said Starling. “She doesn’t settle for less or rush through her work. “People don’t always recognize that the all-star student doesn’t have to be someone who is involved in everything, but students like Karen make me happy to be a teacher,” said Starling. “She’s genuine and gets overlooked but deserves for people to know how amazing and appreciated she truly is. She helps her family a lot, which is a huge priority Karen Grandos and huge reason she doesn’t have time for so many school activities. I find that admirable.” Grandos took a few minutes recently to answer some questions: Q: What’s your favorite subject and why? A: My favorite subject is English because I see it as another way to express and reveal my feelings and thoughts. Q: What are some of your accomplishments? A: I have a job working at Aunt Annie’s Pretzels, which makes me feel proud. I also feel proud of helping my mom and dad raise my sisters to be good daughters and people, which is important in life. Q: Who do you admire and why? A: I admire my family. They’re very supportive and understanding when it comes to my decisions. My sisters keep me happy by watching them grow.
Beaufort Academy prepares students for the future If you are reading this with your own high school education deep in the rearview mirror, then you will remember that when we were in school there were not very many choices. Schools were created in the industrial age and modeled after factories: We put the youngest students in on one end of the building and they came out of the other end older, larger and with more brain power. Curricula were fairly prescriptive: We learned to read in the first grade, to multiply in the second grade, state history somewhere in the middle grades, biology in ninth grade and trigonometry at some point that most of us would rather forget. In the end, this form of education served us fairly well.
We were able to succeed in college if we so chose and we were able to succeed in the workplace. We now know that our education also stamped out most of the creativity and original thinking that we once possessed. Thankfully, the educational world has advanced, and we are faced with quite the buffet of options today. There are many terms that describe different types of education these days: Paideia, Classical, Montessori, Experiential, STEM, and on and on. All of these terms represent legitimate and potentially rigorous academic environments. At Beaufort Academy, the form of educating children is harder to describe with a single term or methodology. It delivers an educational experience that is broad, robust and chal-
lenging for all of the students. The school recognizes that each of us learns in a unique way and with unique skills and unique hurdles to cross. If you walked the halls of Beaufort Academy classroom buildings and peeked into multiple classes over the course of the day, you would see techniques that could be used in any one of the environments listed above. The goal is to prepare the students for their future, not for the past. Part of that goal is to produce students who have learned in multiple ways and who are able to understand different perspectives and a variety of points of view. The school has Paideia-style discussions, traditional lectures, experiential opportunities and many other educational practices.
Through this multifaceted approach, it can reach every student and provide each student with the opportunity to reach his or her full potential. In its small classes, educators are able to know and understand each child, and are able to guide them educationally, morally and socially to be prepared for their next step in life. That next step may be first grade or a large university, but in any case, Beaufort Academy will have aimed to prepare them well for all that is in front of them. In addition to the usual five subject core academic offerings, it teaches computer coding and critical thinking to grades 1-9; offers a range of seven Advanced Placement courses to upper school students; and takes advantage of the
area in which we live and allows its students to experience the Lowcountry by visiting area attractions and by engaging members of the community to come to the school and share ideas and experiences. Additionally, it allows students to express creativity through various art, drama and creative writing classes. Beaufort Academy is a member of the National Association of Independent Schools and is accredited by the Southern Association of Independent Schools. It is the only school in Northern Beaufort County that belongs to these organizations, and it takes pride in studying and following their guidelines for best practices in developing a rich and rewarding educational experience in the classroom and beyond.

Seahawks drop game to Cane Bay, 42-36
Freshman Doc Redman fired a final round 64 and sophomore Bryson Nimmer, a Hilton Head Christian Academy graduate, added a 65 to lead Clemson to the second best come-from-behind victory in Clemson history at the 24-team Ka’anapali Collegiate Classic in Lahaina, Hawaii on Nov. 6. Clemson stood in fourth place and trailed Georgia by 12 shots entering the final round, but shot an all-time team record 264 in the final round to win by one shot over the Bulldogs. The only final round comeback that is better took place in 2009 when Clemson overcame a 13-stroke deficit to Stanford in the final round of the U.S Collegiate Championship in Alpharetta, Georgia. Redman won medalist honors for the second time this fall with a school record 198 total, the first Clemson freshman to win two tournaments in the same year since Jimmy White in 1974-75. Earlier in the year, Redman won the Jackrabbit in Nebraska. Clemson had a 36-hole score of 562 and was tied for fourth with Kansas and South Carolina entering Sunday. But a 20-under par day, brought Clemson all the way back. While the young players had the lowest scores, it was seniors Carson Young and Austin Langdale who capped the rally. Young made a birdie on the 17th hole, his next to the last hole, and Langdale made a birdie on the second hole, his last hole, to complete the comeback. Clemson’s final round on the par 71 Ka’anapali Country Club Course included 24 birdies and two eagles. The Tigers had a tournament best 66 birdies for the three rounds. Redman shot a seven under par 64 on Sunday thanks to six birdies, an eagle and one bogey to finish at 15 under par 198 for the 54 holes. His 64 tied for the lowest final round in any tournament in Clemson history. He finished two shots ahead of LSU’s Sam Burns, the No.7 ranked player in the nation, who made a strong charge with a nine under par 62 on Sunday. Redman finished with 18 birdies and an
Host Hilton Head Island fell to visiting Cane Bay in its latest outing on the gridiron. Cane Bay outlasted the homestanding Seahawks 42-36 on Nov. 4. With the loss, Hilton Head dropped to 5-4 overall and 1-3 in Region 8-AAAA. Cane Bay improved to 9-1 overall and 4-1 in Region 8-AAAA with the win. Quarterback R.J. Roderick Jr. led Cane Bay to the victory. Roderick rushed 23 times for 283 yards and four touchdowns in the winning effort. Helping Cane Bay to the win on the road, fullback Damon Deford rushed 21 times for 170 yards and one touchdown. After facing a 14-point deficit in the first quarter, Hilton Head battled back to lead 22-21 at halftime. The Seahawks, however, fell short in the end. Hilton Head enjoyed most of its offensive success through the air. Seahawk quarterback Collin Kaiser completed 21-of-34 passes for 348 yards. Kaiser completed three touchdown passes for Hilton Head in the first half. Hilton Head was able to battle back throughout the game. That was until Cane Bay went ahead for good 42-29 in the second half. The Seahawks added one more touchdown before Cane Bay held on to earn the victory. With Hilton Head driving late, Cane Bay recovered a costly Seahawk fumble on its own 5-yard line to clinch the win in the game's final minute. The Seahawks are scheduled to visit Colleton County for a regular season finale on Friday, Nov. 11. The Hilton Head-Colleton County football game was postponed by Hurricane Matthew earlier in the season.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK Erek Nelson Grade: 12 School: May River High School
Erek Nelson, a 12th grader at May River High School, is our Athlete of the Week. He was nominated by Athletic Director Brett Macy, because Nelson won the state championship in swim and set a state record in his event. Erek Nelson Nelson took a few minutes recently to answer some questions. Q: What sports are you involved with and what drew you to that sport? A: Swimming. My parents signed me up with the team freshmen year and I fell in love with the sport. Q: What movie inspires you as an athlete? A: “Touch the Wall, the Story of Missy Franklin.” Q: What athletes do you try to emulate and why? A: I idolize Aaron Piersol and Michael Phelps. Piersol was once the great backstroker for the United States and backstroke is my event. I hope to eventually break his records if they still stand when I get to them. Michael Phelps is an idol because he is the great one of my sport and I think all swimmers look up to him. Q: What life lessons have you learned from sports? A: You have to be disciplined and have the right mindset to succeed or reach the next level in whatever it is they have to do. If you are not self-driven or motivated, you will not achieve the things you want to achieve.
eagle over the 54 holes he played Friday to Sunday. His 198 total score broke the Clemson record of 201 that had been held by Lucas Glover at the 2000 Jerry Pate Intercollegiate, D.J. Trahan at the 2003 Augusta State Invitational and Corbin Mills at the 2011 Jerry Pate. Additionally, Redman’s 15 under par score tied the all-time Clemson mark for score vs. par over 54 holes. Trahan was 15-under-par at the 2003 Augusta State Invitational. Redman’s eagle on the par five sixth hole was his sixth of the year, tying the Clemson freshman record that Trahan set in 1999-00. Redman has the entire spring schedule to break the mark. Nimmer had shot rounds of 73 and 72 the first two days, then finished strong with six birdies and an eagle for his career best 65 on Sunday. He got off to a pedestrian start on Sunday, then played holes 6-15 at eight under par. Young had a four under par 67 on Sunday and finished the tournament in a tie for 12th place, second best among the Tigers. He shot a four-under-par 30 on the back nine Sunday, including consecutive birdies on holes 12, 13 and 14 that got the final comeback going. Langdale, who had an opening round 77, shot a 68 on Sunday. The senior had four birdies on the front side. Freshman Jonathan Rector had a final round 75, but his second round 67 kept the Tigers in contention going into Sunday.
VOICES
Beaufort County's hurricane gamble pays off When the dust has settled on this year’s hurricane season, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) conventions, conferences and seminars begin early next year, the presenters will be talking about Beaufort County and its County Council chairman, Paul Sommerville. Why? Because Sommerville sniffed out a FEMA loophole, swiftly and expertly exploited it, and within days of Hurricane Matthew’s departure won for Beaufort County’s taxpayers an estimated $15 million prize. Moreover, here and only here in South Carolina today the debris Hurricane Matthew left behind in private communities is being picked up at government (local, state or federal) expense. Meanwhile none of the other coastal disaster-declared South Carolina counties — Colleton, Charleston, Georgetown and Horry, nor Gov. Nikki Haley — are today even in the game. The debris is piled high along Horry and Georgetown’s private roads, and no one is picking it up. And in Charleston and Colleton counties today in the private communities, it’s every man for himself. Here’s how it happened. Half of Beaufort County’s roads are private, gated, and/or controlled by property owners’ associations. That means the cost of removing post-Matthew debris brought to the roadsides of half the roads in the county would not under FEMA’s regulations be reimbursed by FEMA. There are only three exceptions to the FEMA policy: if there is a health emergency, if the county typically picks up debris from these places or if the county’s finances are such that it would go broke if it had to pay for the debris removal itself.
Bill Rauch was the mayor of Beaufort from 1999-2008. Email Bill at TheRauchReport@gmail.com.
Beaufort County does not typically pick up yard waste along its privately-owned roads, and with a $30 million emergency reserve fund and additional borrowing capacity, the county would not face bankruptcy if it were forced to pay a $15 million unexpected bill. But what about the health emergency angle? After Hurricane Matthew moved on up the coast on Oct. 22, knowing the three exclusions, Sommerville reached out to State Sen. Tom Davis to ask Davis to ask Haley to declare a health emergency for all the affected counties. It was a reasonable request although had the governor granted it, it would have been unprecedented. The governor’s office explained to me last week that it is their view that health emergencies are things like terrorist bio-medical attacks, rogue viruses and major chemical spills or releases. Not hurricanes. And that is what the governor told Davis in the days after the storm. As the early signs back from Columbia appeared negative, Sommerville doubled down and called on former-Gov. Mark Sanford to intercede with Haley. Sanford now represents Beaufort County and much of the Carolina coast in the U.S. Congress. But the governor continued to demur. Leaving half of Beaufort County to fend for themselves was not an option for Sommerville. The coun-
ty was going to pick up the debris on all the county’s roadsides, but would the county have to pay? Or was there another way to get FEMA to pay for the removal of the estimated half-million cubic yards of debris that Hurricane Matthew left behind in Beaufort County’s private communities? On Oct. 23, with a regularly scheduled county council meeting scheduled for the next afternoon, Sommerville wrestled with that question with Deputy County Administrator Josh Gruber and county attorney Tom Keaveny. Together the three settled on Beaufort County’s Code of Ordinances Sections 2228, the local law that enables county council to issue proclamations and regulations concerning health, safety and disaster relief during civil emergencies. Proclaiming a health emergency would at least permit the county to change its own policy and start picking up on the private roads, and it might meet FEMA’s test to enable the federal reimbursement. Sommerville started calling his council members to bring them in on the plan. That’s when he found most of them were still evacuated and wouldn’t be able to get to the Monday meeting. Some proposed canceling it, but Sommerville knew he had to get the health emergency declared before the county’s contractors could start picking up the private roads. So, speaking one-by-one with his members, he determined he could probably get a quorum together on Oct. 26, so he postponed the meeting. At the postponed meeting, still with two of his 11 members absent, a lively discussion of the emergency health measure ensued both in the executive session period and later in open session. Some members who represented poorer
districts were uncomfortable putting up to $20 million at risk. In fact no one much liked it. But the alternative — telling the residents who live in POAs, and/ or behind gates, and/or on private roads, telling half the county that they were going to have to go it alone — was worse. No one had a better idea, so Sommerville’s plan was finally passed by a vote of 8-1. The following morning the county’s debris removal contractors started rolling into the county’s dozens of private communities, including hardhit Fripp and Harbor islands that are represented by Sommerville. That was a big step, but the big dollar question remained: Would the county be reimbursed by FEMA at the standard public roads level of 75 percent for the cost of the debris removal on the county’s private roads? Would the local Health Emergency Proclamation gambit work? It didn’t take long to find out. On Nov. 1, FEMA sent word the agency would reimburse Beaufort County for its private roads debris pick-up costs. Current estimates are those costs will be about $20 million. Of this FEMA has agreed to reimburse at the standard 75-percent level. A FEMA spokesman told me last week that Beaufort County’s Health Emergency Proclamation had been “an important factor” in the federal agency’s unusual and swift decision. If the current value of the county’s mil is $1.75 million, Sommerville’s out-of-the-box health emergency proclamation saved Beaufort County’s taxpayers the equivalent of 8.6 mils on their property taxes next year. Meanwhile, neither Colleton nor Charleston counties have even applied to FEMA to be reimbursed
for private road debris pick-up costs. Colleton officials didn’t respond to repeated calls, but Edisto Beach residents have told me the residents on private roads there have been told they are on their own. That is also the case in Charleston County, a spokesperson for Charleston County confirmed last week. In Georgetown and Horry counties, the debris continues to pile up along private road roadsides, spokespersons for those counties confirmed last week, because the county councils there don’t want to risk having to bear locally the costs of those cleanups. In Georgetown County, debris disposal site fees are being waived for private communities, a spokesman said. But both counties were still waiting at press time for word back from FEMA whether the federal agency will reimburse them. Neither Georgetown nor Horry have passed local health emergency measures. Beaufort County announced last week that countywide debris pick-up will be handled in three “passes.” The county now has over 100 contractors working its debris removal job. Their enormous black trucks and trailers are a commonplace sight on Beaufort County’s roads — both the public and private ones — these days. By week’s end, Beaufort County officials predict, their team will be approaching the conclusion of its “first pass,” and by then about half of the of countywide post-Matthew debris will have been picked up. And Sommerville, a die-hard college football fan, can enjoy Saturday’s Clemson-Pitt game with his daughter, a junior at Clemson University, knowing Beaufort County’s army of debris removal contractors are hard at work at home picking up the rest … and on the feds’ tab.

VOICES
Library is special place for all ages Now what?
The last few weeks have been so busy that I have not had a chance to relax and read a book. It was only when a friend recommended one that I decided it was time to visit the library. I walked into the St. Helena Branch Library on Halloween Day and realized that the employees were dressed in costumes and had placed children’s Halloween books out on display. It looked great and inviting for young people. I headed to the front desk and asked the branch manager, Maria Benac, about the book and she directed me to the “Book Club” section. This is a designated area where local book clubs order books from their reading lists. However, the books can be checked out by anybody. As I was crouching down reviewing ti-
HIGHLIGHTING DAILY LIFE OBSERVATIONS
Lee Scott, a writer and recent retiree, shares her everyday observations about life after career. A former commercial banker responsible for helping her clients to reach their business objectives, Scott now translates those analytical skills to her writings. She recently moved to St. Helena Island with her husband and two cocker spaniels. She enjoys boating, traveling and reading.
tles, a little girl, around 18 months, came up next to me and started to talk to me. I could tell she was asking me what I was looking for on the shelf. Although I could not understand many of her words, her intonation was unmistakable. As we chatted away her father hovered nearby with the “Is she bothering you?” look which I immediately dismissed.
HURRY IN TODAY!
“She’s fine.” I said. I proceeded to tell her about the book I was looking for and asked her whether I should just find another book that looked interesting. As we reviewed the books together, she would pull out a book, hand it to me to determine if it was the one. If I shook my head, “No, that’s not it,” she would place
it back. She finally pulled out a new book and handed it to me. “Ahh,” I said “I have not read this one yet.” She smiled and babbled away. Her job with me was done. She wandered off to advise other patrons with dad right behind her. I remember being taken to the library by my mother when I was very young. It has been a lifelong habit. It is so important for children to feel as comfortable surrounded by books as this little one. When I finally found the recommended book, I realized that I still had the other book given to me by my little friend. The title of the book: “Best Friends Forever,” by Kimberla Lawson Roby. It seemed an appropriate book to recommend to a new friend.
