COVERING BEAUFORT COUNTY
BEAUFORT’S HEALTH CARE PIONEERS
Local surgeons celebrate 35 years of caring for the community In celebration of the 35th anniversary of Beaufort Memorial Surgical Specialists, founding physician Dr. Tim Pearce treated himself to a perk he rarely enjoyed in the first three decades of his career – a full night’s sleep. When the board-certified general surgeon opened shop as a sole practitioner Nov. 7, 1983, he joined Drs. Richard “Dick” Price and Charles “Tony” Bush as the only surgeons in private practice in the Beaufort area. “Back then we did a lot of major traumas,” Pearce recalled. “It was a rare night when the pager didn’t go off. I would operate on a gunshot wound in the middle of the night, then go into the office the next day and see patients with perforated ulcers or gallbladder disease.” Now part of the Beaufort Me-
morial Physician Partners network, Surgical Specialists has come a long way since those early years when Pearce was on call 24/7, serving both Beaufort Memorial Hospital and the Naval Hospital. Today, the practice includes four general surgeons and the only vascular surgeon in Beaufort, as well as a nurse practitioner, a physician assistant and an additional staff of 11 medical assistants and administrators. Over the years, the team has adopted new approaches and advanced technology to improve patient outcomes. “When laparoscopic gallbladder surgery took off in the early ‘90s, we realized it was something we needed to learn,” Pearce said. “Patients did so much better with
minimally invasive surgery. It was just stunning.” In recent years, several of the surgeons have received advanced training in the da Vinci Surgical System and now perform state-ofthe art, robot-assisted procedures, including single-site gallbladder surgery, ventral and inguinal hernia repairs, colon resection and Nissen fundoplication for severe acid reflux disease. From the start, Pearce was always prepared to adjust the practice to meet the needs of the community. In 1989, he added his first partner, board-certified general surgeon Dr. Gordon Krueger, a former Navy surgeon who had been practicing in Manning. SEE SURGEONS, PAGE A6

Voters approve local ballot issues, Cunningham scores upset in SC-1 Beaufort County voters overwhelmingly favored two ballot measures last week, voting to approve a one-cent transportation sales and use tax and a bond issue to fund the county’s Rural and Critical Lands program. The transportation tax passed with nearly 58 percent of the vote, delivering up to $120 million for projects throughout the county, including $80 million for road and bridge improvements along the U.S. 278 corridor onto Hilton Head Island, $30 million for projects along the Lady’s Island corridor, and $10 million for multi-use pathways throughout the county designed to provide safer access to schools and residential neighborhoods. "Passage of this measure was critically important to Lady's Island, where $30 million will be spent on road improvements," said Chuck Newton, chair of the Sea Island Corridor Coalition. "Our Coalition began pressing City and County officials for these improvements more two years ago, and they responded with a detailed traffic study and identification of nine key improvement projects on Lady's Island. To have Beaufort County voters support this funding for these projects is exceptionally gratifying, and while work will be done over a several year period, we look forward to getting work underway.” The additional penny sales tax increase is expected to be effective on January 1.

Burton Firefighters ask Citizens to “Check their Seniors” With the colder months settling upon Beaufort County, Burton fire officials are asking citizens to take some time these next few weeks to check on senior citizens in the community to ensure their safety and the heating of their homes. The Burton Fire District provides both basic and advanced life support emergency services. As medical professionals they often work with senior citizens and understand the dangerous situations many face this time of year. Senior citizens, often on limited and fixed incomes, may find alternative and unsafe ways to power and heat their homes during the winter months. Many are on medications that limit their ability to respond and react to emergencies or change batteries in smoke alarms. Age has also decreased their ability to regulate their own body temperatures. Burton fire officials say this is a perfect storm for tragedy. So with temperatures dropping, Burton fire officials are asking citizens to also drop
in on their seniors to ensure they are living in a safe environment. Burton fire officials offer some tips to look for: • Portable heaters should be plugged directly into outlets or power strips with breakers • “If it has heat, three feet.” Heaters should be three feet from combustibles, such as arm chairs, bedding, and drapes, and heaters should not block exits from the home • Smoke alarms should be less than 10 years old and located inside and outside the bedrooms • Fuel kerosene heaters outdoors • Ensure portable heaters are used appropriately, and those for use on hardwood floors are not placed on carpets • “Candle with care.” Preferably use electric candles. Limit flame candles to only occupied rooms. Candle flames generate heat, so keep three feet between candles and combustibles

Beaufort Bread Company opens second location By Justin Jarrett
Most anyone who has sunk their teeth into the fresh-baked bread, delicious sandwiches, or delectable desserts at Beaufort Bread Company’s Lady’s Island location over the past five years keeps the cafe on their short list of favorite lunch spots. Now, owners Eric and Robin Staton hope to spread the word to an expanded group of customers with the recent opening of BBC on Bay at 705 Bay Street. The notion of a second location downtown has been in the works since December 2016, not long after the Statons acquired the original cafe, and the dream has finally come to fruitiion. “It took us a long time to find the right space,” Eric said. “We looked at several locations here on Bay Street, but it’s all about location, location, location. That’s what it all boils down to, and we feel like this is a great location.” The new space has large windows fronting Bay Street, where customers can watch the passing car and foot traffic while sipping a coffee drink or enjoying breakfast or lunch. There’s also a community room that seats up to 20 for private events, and unlike other meeting spaces downtown, there’s no need to hire a caterer — BBC can handle it in-house. The only thing the space lacks is a kitchen, but the Statons don’t view that as a limitation. All the food prep is done at the Lady’s Island location and brought in each morning. Although that limits the offerings somewhat — there are no French fries or fried buttermilk chicken sandwiches, for example — the menu is still ample. In fact, it’s larger than the cafe menu, chock full of ready-made items like soups, salads, wraps, breakfast sandwich-

es, burritos and frittatas. There’s also a kids’ menu, and everything is available all day, so you can grab a salad on your way to work and stash it for lunch, or opt for a breakfast sandwich in the afternoon. “Our concept is fresh, everything’s scratchmade,” Eric said. “We make all of our dressings and everything. We bring our meat in fresh and we trim it, brine it, and smoke it.” The new store won’t be ground-breaking
to regulars who are already accustomed to the high-quality food BBC has been offering for years, but the Statons hope it attracts new customers who wouldn’t ordinarily venture across the Beaufort River, such as tourists and locals who work downtown and have limited lunch breaks. “Our main goal was to bring something to Bay Street that Bay Street doesn’t have,” Robin Staton said. “We’ve done that.”
Invest In What Matters to You
If you’re seeking the ability to align your financial goals with your personal values and social concerns that are important to you, social impact investing (SII) may be a consideration for your portfolio. “Socially-responsible, sustainable, values-based, ethical, green, ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance), and impact” are some of the many terms commonly used to describe social impact investing. While the goals are generally the same – to generate measurable social and environmental impact along with financial returns – the strategies vary in approach. By combining traditional socially responsible exclusions with a disciplined analysis of ESG factors, Wells Fargo has developed an integrated approach to social impact investing. Gaining in popularity Over the past 20 years, there have been big changes in the investment industry. One of
the most significant has been the growth of social impact investing. Traditionally known as socially responsible investing (SRI), this approach excluded so called “sin stocks” (alcohol, tobacco, weapons manufacturing, adult entertainment, gambling) from investment portfolios. It has expanded to proactively seek best-in-class Whitney McDaniel, CFP® companies that incorporate strong environmental, social, and governance (ESG) policies into their business practices. Invest in issues important to you Do you have concerns about the environment or human rights? Are you interested in supporting the ethical treatment of animals or do you simply wish to avoid investing in companies whose business practices
are in conflict with your beliefs? Wells Fargo offers a range of choices to invest in companies whose policies and practices are compatible with what matters to you. We can help you build a portfolio based on research, analysis and products that align with your investment goals and philosophy and avoid selecting companies with poor ESG performance or those that conflict with your philosophy. Keep in mind, however, that all investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. A strategy’s social policy could cause it to forgo opportunities to gain exposure to certain industries, companies, sectors or regions of the economy which could cause it to underperform similar portfolios that do not have a social policy. A socially responsible investing style may shift in and out of favor. Contact us for more information on how to incorporate social impact investing into
your investment planning.

Introducing Community Acupuncture to Beaufort
By Sande Triponey
Community acupuncture clinics are opening all over the country. You find them in most big cities, and some smaller towns. In the Lowcountry, there are community acupuncture clinics in Charleston and Savannah — and now in Beaufort. The idea is simple: By providing an open room and a quiet and peaceful atmosphere with comfortable recliners, multiple patients can receive acupuncture at the same time. This model of providing acupuncture care allows the practitioner to reduce the cost to the patient by treating many people per hour. The community acupuncture model is based on the traditional style of treatment practiced in Asia. It is the brainchild of Lisa Rohleder, L.Ac, and Skip Van Meter, L.Ac. of Working Class Acupuncture in Portland, Oregon. Nobel Prize-winning economist Muhammad Yunus defines community acupuncture clinics as social businesses. Let’s briefly review what acupuncture is. As we know, the body is its own energy system with every cell being an energy machine. This is the Qi (aka chi, ki, or prana) of the body and what is tapped into during an acupuncture treatment. Qi is accessed through acupoints on the skin found along pathways (called channels or meridians) created by blood vessels, nerves, lymph vessels and fascia that connect different areas and systems of the body. Yes, like the children’s song says, your ankle bone is connected to your neck bone – through meridians. Acupoints are “opened” with hair-thin acupuncture needles that are roughly the width of a cat’s whisker and just as flexible. When the needles are removed, the points “close.” Regulated by the FDA, acupuncture needles aren’t the same as hypodermic needles because they are solid and nothing goes into or comes out of an acupuncture needle. Some patients report the sensation of an acupuncture needle feels like a mosquito bite and most report they
feel nothing at all. In doubt? Ask someone who has had acupuncture. Because disease or dysfunction doesn’t typically happen overnight, it takes the body a while to stop and reverse the disease process and regain balance and health. Acupuncture triggers and supports the body’s innate healing ability and reinforces the healing process, making treatments most effective when received frequently and regularly. The true benefits of acupuncture are cumulative, so in most cases weekly or bi-weekly treatment is essential for more lasting results. A sprained ankle with immediate attention may take only one or two treatments. Longterm challenges like fatigue or depression may take a few months of treatment. And regular acupuncture treatment is remarkable at promoting and maintaining good health. Hence, the benefit of community acupuncture: frequent, regular treatment at low cost. The fee structure of community acupuncture allows you to get healthy and stay healthy at a price you can afford, and you can pay a different amount at each visit. If one day you have a bunch of expenses and can’t afford your regular payment, pay a little less. If one day you win the lottery, well… In the community setting, you will be surrounded by other people quietly receiving acupuncture treatment at the same time, reclining in comfort. Just like in a private acupuncture setting, the ambiance of the space is peaceful and relaxing with soothing music and soft lighting. At Beaufort Acupuncture there are eight recliners arranged in two rows. Attention is given to your personal space. There is no difference in the quality of treatment between community-style and private acupuncture. Points are used on the scalp, and below the elbows and knees to treat the entire body in both private and community-style acupuncture. During community acupuncture you remain fully clothed and will be asked to remove your socks and shoes and to roll up your pant
legs and sleeves, so it is highly recommended that you wear loose-fitting clothing. Acupuncture has become a hot topic in recent decades. Since 2002, 1.3 million more Americans are using acupuncture. Ongoing scientific studies find acupuncture effective to treat all kinds of pain, depression, anxiety, and insomnia. Allergies, sinusitis and respiratory problems are found to respond favorably with acupuncture treatment, as are digestive complaints. The World Health Organization recognizes acupuncture as an effective treatment for more than 28 diseases with 60 more currently being studied. As acupuncture has been keeping the Asian population healthy for many millennia, research proving efficacy is a modern bonus. The military has begun using acupuncture to effectively treat PTSD and to triage pain on the battlefield. In 2015, the American College of Physicians recommended acupuncture for pain before prescribing opioids. As in other healthcare professions, acupuncturists must be licensed to practice in South Carolina. Education must be obtained from schools accredited to teach acupuncture and Oriental Medicine and multiple board exams must be passed. Continuing education requirements must be met every year to maintain licensure. Services at community acupuncture clinics are often offered by appointment.
Appointments are scheduled every 10-15 minutes and you will most likely enter while others are being treated. During the initial intake interview, you will be asked to complete new patient forms and you will be able to privately discuss your reason for seeking treatment with the practitioner. At each follow-up visit, you will be asked to update the practitioner on anything that has changed since your last treatment. Treatments last anywhere from 60–90 minutes. You are welcome to bring your own blankets, pillows, eye cover and ear plugs to make yourself more comfortable. Information on acupuncture, Community acupuncture and education and licensing requirements can be found at these websites: The People’s Organization of Community Acupuncture (www.POCAcoop.com), the American Society of Acupuncturists (www. ASAcu.org), the National Certification Commission of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (www.NCCAOM.org) and the SC Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation (www.llr.sc.gov). Sande Triponey, LAc AP is the owner of Beaufort Acupuncture. She has been practicing alternative healing for more than 25 years. Sande holds a bachelor’s degree in Health Science and a Master of Science degree in Oriental Medicine and is also licensed to practice in NC and FL.

“The first office he put me in was a broom closet,” Krueger quipped. “We saw things 180 degrees differently, but we got along famously. Tim Pearce is the fairest partner you could have.” Although the medical staff had doubled, the two surgeons were still as busy as ever, often working 80-hour weeks. With no physician assistants or nurse practitioners to help them in those days, it fell on Pearce and Krueger to respond to calls from both the ER and hospital floor nurses who needed help with post-op patients. “They were super heroes,” said Dr. Pearce’s wife, Brenda. “I don’t know how they managed it, except that they were totally dedicated to their work. Their patients always came first.” As the community grew, so did the practice. In 1993, Dr. Perry Burrus joined the team of general surgeons, followed in 1998 by Dr. Stephen Sisco and in 2004 by Dr. Chad Tober, who is board-certified in both general and vascular surgery.

tal-owned practices, Surgical Specialists was purchased by Beaufort Memorial Hospital in 2009. Two years later, they hired their first and only female surgeon, Dr. Deanna Mansker, fresh from completing her residency at the Medical University of South Carolina. “They were a very welcoming group,” Mansker said of her colleagues. “It was like having several big brothers. It’s intimidating leaving your residency and practicing on your own. They helped me make the transition.” Next year, the team will work through another major change – an expansive renovation of the operating room. “The new technology for minimally invasive surgery takes up a lot of room,” said Mansker, who chairs Beaufort Memorial’s robotics committee. “As part of the renovation, the operating rooms will be expanded in size, allowing us to stay at the forefront of surgical innovation.” Krueger retired in 2012, one of only two surgeons to ever leave the practice. The rest of the Surgical Specialists team has been equally loyal.

VOICES & WINE
DR. FRANK WAS RIGHT
Years ago, I had a professor we called Dr. Frank. He was a budget analyst at the Pentagon and taught a graduate night class at my college. He was quite a character and one of those professors who was memorable. Most of the students had jobs during the day, so Dr. Frank coupled his finance lecture with practical work advice. On the last day of his class, after our final exam, he gave each one of us a sheet of paper titled “Dr. Frank’s Principles.” There were seven of them, but the one that has stuck in my mind throughout the years was this: “The first thing on your list will be the fourth thing you do.” He was right. Throughout my banking career and now with writing, it has proved true. I sit at my desk each morning to review my priorities for the day, but regardless, the most important task on the list seems to al-
Every year, the Nouveau Beaujolais becomes available on the third Thursday of November, its legal release date according to French wine laws. For centuries this red wine was the first wine from the northern hemisphere produced and sold from the newest vintage in the year the grapes were harvested. Nouveau Beaujolais comes from the Burgundy region of France and is made from 100 percent Gamay grapes. It was first made about 100 years ago, with its quick fermentation, as a celebratory wine for the harvest workers. The first AC laws for this wine, written in 1937, said it couldn’t be sold until after Dec. 15 in the year the grapes grew and were harvested. In 1951, the rules were changed so it could be sold on the third Thursday of November. Depending on what wine circles you travel in, the arrival of Nouveau can be a great excuse to celebrate, so it’s a nice coincidence that the release falls a week before our Thanksgiving holiday.
Now what?
HIGHLIGHTING DAILY LIFE OBSERVATIONS
Lee Scott, a writer and recent retiree, shares her everyday observations about life after career.

She recently moved to St. Helena Island with her husband and two cocker spaniels. She enjoys boating, traveling and reading.
ways be the fourth thing I undertake. Why? Because we always get interrupted by something more important which requires our immediate attention. This happened to me this morning. I was heading out for an appointment. It was the first thing on my to-do list, but as I was walking out the door I realized I had not taken anything out for dinner. So, I turned around to the kitchen and took some
chicken out of the freezer. Then my phone rang, and I was reminded to bring a report to the meeting. As I stood there waiting for the printer to finish printing out some pages, I heard the washing machine buzz, so I threw the wet clothes into the dryer before I grabbed the report and headed out the door. It was then, as I was driving to the appointment, I thought of Dr. Frank again.
What’s New Is New According to the AC laws for Nouveau, all the grapes must be harvested by hand. Production must use carbonic maceration with whole berries to enhance all the fruit flavors. Carbonic maceration is a process used almost only in the Beaujolais region. Whole grapes are fermented in a carbon-dioxide rich environment. Most of the juice is actually fermented inside its grape skins, and consequently the finished wine has very low tannins. Today, Nouveau wine makes up about 25 percent of the whole production of Beaujolais with about 20,000 gallons coming from 2,000 producers, and about 40 percent is exported from France. Nouveau Beaujolais is a purply-cherry red wine. A youthful color that comes partly from the fact it is bottled just 6-8 weeks after harvest. Because of its lower level of tannins, much of the grapes’ natural acidity is left in the wine, so even though it’s a red, it tastes much better with a slight chilling — 55-60 degrees is ideal. Fruit flavors
dominate the wine, with banana, grape, strawberry, pear and more. Nouveau is meant to be drunk young, but young means up to a year or two after its vintage. In France, they drink most of their Nouveau for Easter dinner. It is an easy-drinking, user-friendly wine. Like all other wines, and as you would expect from 2,000 producers, there are variations in Nouveau Beaujolais, ranging from different vintages as well as different wineries in the same vintage. A consistently good one is Drouhin. Joseph Drouhin is a Burgundy house with a superb reputation. Founded in Celia Strong 1880, they started out in Chablis, in the northern part of Burgundy, but they have always been involved in the Beaujolais region. In fact, in the early 1950s they were the first to bottle and ship Nouveau. Until then it had usually been
Even after all these years, he was right. But it took me a long time to realize that one of the teaching points he was trying to make was to be flexible. Do not be so structured that you lose sight of what needs to be done immediately. I would have been disappointed if I had not had something thawed for dinner. The appointment would have been less successful if I did not have that report, and it was nice to have the laundry done when I got home that afternoon. There are so many self-imposed deadlines that dictate our lives, but Dr. Frank has helped me through the years understand it is OK to address those important interruptions that come up throughout the day. It is all right if the most important thing on your list is suddenly No. 4. It will ultimately get done.
sold in small barrels. As in other parts of the Burgundy region, Drouhin’s quality control includes owning vineyards for every appellation they produce. In Beaujolais, their vineyards feature pink granite soils. Full bunches of grapes, all biodynamically grown, go through semi-carbonic maceration that takes 4-10 days. Then the wines rest, quickly, in stainless steel vats. According to Véronique Drouhin, the 2018 Nouveau is colorful and concentrated. It has a delicious mix of red and black fruit aromas and flavors, including black and red cherries, blackberries, blueberries, currants, raspberries, figs, strawberries and more. Its texture is clean and fresh, but not light, with good acidity and a concentrated finish. The 2018 is a good vintage for Nouveau and this one is a great example. A toast from Véronique: “You should have a lot of fun!” For $11.99. Happy Holidays. Enjoy. Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island.

Happy Birthday, Marines
Corps celebrates 243rd birthday
U.S. Marine Corps photos by Cpl. Cameron D. Darrough.
T
he United States Marine Corps celebrated its 243rd birthday on Saturday, Nov. 10, and the festivities around the country and around the world included one at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island. The local celebration included a Marine Corps Birthday Ball on Hilton Head Island, and no birthday party is complete with cake. Col. Sean C. Killeen, commanding officer of Headquarters Service Battalion, did the honors of cutting the initial piece of birthday cake and served it to Cpl. Matthew Bradford (Ret.). Headquarters and Service Battalion is the parent command for personnel who provide continuous support to the depot and its subordinate commands in order to accomplish the depot’s mission of “Making Marines.”
BREAKING THE GLASS CEILING:
‘Opha May’ is Marines’ first female mascot By Ron Callari
A glass ceiling is a metaphor delineating an invisible barrier that prevents a given demographic (typically applied to a certain class people or gender) from ascending beyond a certain level in a hierarchy. For instance, when a woman in America achieves a status of significance for the first time, they are described as "breaking the glass ceiling." Well, dog-gone it, when we refer to females, we're not only talking about humans. Females in other species may also achieve this distinction. First female Marine In August 2017, English bulldog Opha May became the first female canine ever to become a mascot for the Marines. Beaufortonians can be proud that this momentous occasion happened in our hometown. This military pooch graduated from training at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island in November 2017 to proudly assume the position of Parris Island's 21st mascot. Appropriately, Opha was named in honor of Opha Mae Johnson, who also broke a glass ceiling in 1918, when she enlisted in the Corps as the first female Marine, according to the Women Marines Association. By war’s end, Johnson was a senior enlisted woman, hav-

ing been promoted to sergeant. Nicknamed a "Marinette,” Johnson's nurse duties included tending to the victims of the 1918 influenza pandemic. By the time World War II rolled around, though, as top officers realized how vital women were to Marine duties, she lost the cutesy nickname and gained respect on equal par with male marines. Passing the baton Parris Island’s mascots date back to 1914. The first was an Irish terrier named “Mike,” for whom a memorial stands near the commanding general’s home — it’s the oldest monument on the Parris Island base.
Private First Class Opha May graduated from recruit training alongside her fellow human Marines. She replaced Cpl. Legend, the English bulldog who served six years until his death in September of that year. “She is excited about anything or everything you put in front of her,” said Cpl. Cameron Philips, an administrative clerk with Headquarters and Service Battalion. “She is very social and energetic; her people skills are why she will fulfill her new role excellently.” Adoption The Marine Corps honorably discharges its mascots
after a few years, giving them plenty of time to enjoy retirement with their adoptive families. As you can imagine, the application process to adopt one of the Corps’ retired canine companions is very competitive. When Opha May's retirement rolls around, there surely will be an exceedingly long waiting list of families hoping to adopt this glass ceiling-breaking bulldog. Ron Callari is the VP Sales & Marketing for HD Hospitality overseeing the debut of the new innovative Hilton brand “Home2” on Parris Island Gateway and Trask Parkway.
Abuse Prevention Coalition and Hopeful Horizons receive $30,000 in grants Hopeful Horizons is pleased to announce the receipt of two grants from the Berkeley Hall Charitable Foundation (BHCF). The first grant, in the amount of $20,000, will support the Abuse Prevention Coalition (APC). Hopeful Horizons, the local Children's Advocacy, Domestic Violence and Rape Crisis Center, along with the Child Abuse Prevention Association (CAPA), comprise the APC. The APC has been working for the past five years to reduce gender violence and child abuse by implementing programs that address root causes of the problem targeting children/youth in schools as the focus population. The $20,000 from BHCF will be used to expand the capacity of the APC to provide these prevention programs to the greater Bluffton area for students in middle and high schools. The second grant, in the amount of $10,000, will support the ability of Hopeful Horizons’ Bluffton office to provide much-needed services to victims of child abuse, sexual assault, and domestic violence to include: child forensic interviews, therapy for children and adults, family advocacy, crisis intervention, support and educational groups for adults and children, legal services and prevention and education programming. The Berkeley Hall Charitable Foundation is a 501c3. The goal of the Berkeley Hall Charitable Foundation is to help non-profits improve lives by funding projects that address the basic human needs of the most vulnerable residents of the Bluffton community and neighboring Beaufort County.
SCHOOLS
BA’s Quinn named SCISA Master Teacher Beaufort Academy’s Paula Quinn was recognized as part of the South Carolina Independent School Association (SCISA) Master Teacher program at a pinning ceremony last week. In its 15th year, the Master Teacher program was created to bestow well-deserved recognition to educators who exhibit best practices in the classroom and a willingness to share and collaborate with other educators. SCISA commends its Master Teachers who inspire excellence in the classroom, among colleagues and, especially, among students. Quinn, along with fellow SCISA awardees were celebrated during a pinning ceremony held in Lake City during the annual Teachers Fall Conference, hosted
by The Carolina Academy. SCISA Executive Director, Dr. Jordan A. Spencer gave a brief summary of the importance and significance of the Master Teacher program, and honored and pinned each awardee. As a Humanities teacher for 40 years, Quinn believes the power of language is extraordinary. To her, words are the blood of conversations, the catechism of rituals, the song of celebrations, and the passion of opinions. It is from the language of hope that we derive the sustenance to strive to a brighter tomorrow. Therefore, the language of expression must be mastered to live. Her gift to each student is to discover his or her individual voice — the articulation of spir-

it — by pen or paint. Quinn has had a varied career. She was instrumental in the development of
the educational program for the China Trade Museum in Boston, the Teacher of the Year at Tomp-
kins Middle School in Savannah, English chair at Agape Christian Academy, and is currently the Art chair at Beaufort Academy. For more than six years, Quinn has taught the multiple subjects at Beaufort Academy, including English, Leadership, Creative Writing, Drama, Art History, AP Studio Art 2-D Design, and AP Studio Art Drawing. In the creative realm, Quinn suggests each child is a raw diamond ready to shine. As a teacher, Quinn believes she must help define the cut, put clarity in the substance, and ignite the fire for maximum effect. Once a student connects with his or her inner-self, she says, the world of exploration and creativity burst forth to the benefit of all.
USCB HAPPENINGS
About 75 students from four local high schools spent Wednesday, Oct. 17, on USCB’s campus as part of the Teacher Cadet Program, a statewide initiative to encourage high school students with strong academic and interpersonal skills to consider teaching as a career. Teacher cadets take USCB’s EDCI 100 Observation and Analysis at their high schools as dual-enrolled students. Dr. Bruce Marlowe, chair of USCB’s Department of Education, says the department will conduct another campus day in the spring for teacher cadets in three more local high schools.
USCB junior Kaiya Cain, a Biology major, completed a Research Experiences for Undergraduates Program at the Savannah River Ecological Laboratory this summer. In late October, she traveled to Alexandria, Virginia, to present a poster at the 2018 Council on Undergraduate Research Meeting. The poster was titled “Cs-137 whole body burdens and plasma biochemistry profiles of Nerodia floridana occupying a former nuclear cooling reservoir.” It was co-authored with Kyle Brown, David Haskins, Melissa Pilgrim, and Tracey Tuberville. Each facility can only nominate one student and only 10 percent of these students are selected to attend the symposium each year.
Seeking God
Angry With God? Faith in Difficult Times
Why does God allow bad things to happen? A father watches his son dying of leukemia. A child loses her mother at a young age. When we experience sorrows such as the death of a loved one, or bitter disappointments like the loss of a job, we can find ourselves becoming angry at God. If we do not manage these feelings in a healthy manner, we can begin to question whether God even exists, or at least whether he’s worth having as a part of our lives.
There are no easy answers here. For thousands of years, people of faith have struggled with the question of evil in the world. As Christians, we believe that God is good and he is all-powerful, and yet we recognize that evil exists. How can all three facts be simultaneously true? This is a mystery that goes beyond the limits of our human intellect and earthly perspective. But if you are feeling upset with God, there are constructive ways to move forward.
If you’re angry with God, you’re not alone. In the Bible, Jonah was angry with God after feeling that he was mistreated (Jonah 4:1-11). Job expressed similar feelings (Job 3:1-26). In a way, it takes faith to be angry with God. If we didn’t think he existed, or if we thought he wasn’t in control of things, we wouldn’t have any reason to be angry. It is because we believe these things that we struggle with God.
Talk to God about your feelings. If you are angry or disappointed, tell him all about it. He already knows, but he loves you and wants to hear you share what you are going through. As we admit our feelings and express them to God, we can start working through these emotions with him. We can find ourselves growing closer to God, even while we are still struggling. Even if it seems difficult, continue to keep the lines of communication open. Look with love at the cross. The mystery of human suffering finds its culmination in what happened on Good Friday, when Jesus gave his life for us on the cross. God loves us so much that he actually became one of us; he freely allowed himself to enter into our suffering. We can reflect on how Jesus was completely innocent, and yet he endured such immense agonies. We can prayerfully unite our own sufferings with his sufferings on the cross. Consider your blessings. When we are suffering, it is also helpful to take some time to consider the ways that God has blessed us. For example, if we find ourselves seriously ill, we might thank God for the support of our family members or the blessing of good medical care. Even in the midst of great trials, we can recognize God’s love and his continuing presence.

Beaufort High Loses Wet, Wild Heartbreaker to Brookland-Cayce

Beaufort High’s season ended in the early morning hours Saturday, as the Eagles waited out a two-hour lightning delay before falling 31-30 to Brookland-Cayce in the first round of the Class 4A playoffs. The Eagles and Bearcats went back and forth in a wild game that saw seven lead changes, including four in the second half. Jeffrey Smyth opened the scoring with a 6-yard touchdown run, but the Bearcats answered quickly to tie it and pulled ahead 13-7 early in the second quarter. Tyler Haley’s 8-yard TD pass to William Winburn gave the Eagles a 14-13 lead with 7:04 left in the half, but Brookland-Cayce responded with a touchdown to regain the lead. Peyton Langford’s 33-yard field goal
pulled Beaufort within 19-17 at halftime, and Haley broke a 75-yard TD run early in the third quarter to give the Eagles the lead again, but the Bearcats again answered to take a 25-24 lead with 4:05 left in the third. Haley’s second touchdown run of the night put Beaufort ahead 30-25 with 11:28 left, but Brookland-Cayce answered just over a minute later for a 31-30 lead. The Eagles had the ball when lightning in the area forced a delay with 3:10 remaining. After the two-hour break, Beaufort fumbled and Brookland-Cayce was able to run out the clock. The Eagles finished coach DeVonte Holloman’s first season with a 5-6 record.
BA to play for state title in Clifford’s first season By Justin Jarrett
Even as crazy as it seemed, there was something that told Mark Clifford to dream big when he took the job coaching 8-man football at Beaufort Academy. The Eagles had never played for a state championship — they had only had one winning season since the program’s launch in 2008 — but the program was moving in the right direction, and Clifford believed he was the guy to push it to the next level. He had to. “At this point in my career, new chapter, I just thought it would just be golden to come in there and play for a state championship or win a state championship,” Clifford said. “Everything had to work out for it to happen, but I just kind of felt like it would.” Then he coached his first game. The idiosyncrasies of the 8-man game left his head spinning after a 52-33 loss at Clarendon Hall. But from that beating he was able to glean more about how to coach this similar-yet-different brand of football, and his ground-pounding offense was a perfect fit. Junior running back De’Shaun Epps started piling up ridiculous numbers behind an improving offensive line, quarterback Dawson Coleman learned to make better reads at the line of scrimmage, and relentless linebacker Edward McCormick anchored a salty defense. The points — and the wins — be-
gan to pile up. The Eagles had won four straight when they traveled to Ehrhardt on Oct. 5 to take on Andrew Jackson Academy, which at the time had won 43 consecutive games. BA fell behind early en route to a 40-28 loss, but the Eagles went back to work the next week. They’ve won five straight since then, including a 40-30 victory at Jefferson Davis Academy last week, to earn another crack at the Confederates in the state championship game Friday night at Patrick Henry Academy in Estill. It might sound crazy, but Clifford thinks they can snap AJA’s 48-game winning streak and deny the Confederates their fourth consecutive state title. “If anybody is gonna beat them, it would have to be us,” he said. BA’s offense, simple yet precise, is tough to stop, and Ja’Sean Lawson has recovered from an ankle injury to rejoin Epps in the backfield. McCormick is a monster on defense. And the Eagles are a different team than they were five weeks ago. And, as Clifford points out, while the Confederates have won three straight state titles on the football field, many of BA’s players have won the last two on the soccer field, so they won’t be overwhelmed by the moment. “These kids know,” he said. “They’ve been here before.”
FOOTBALL ROUND UP Whale Branch 30, Oceanside Collegiate 28
Whale Branch rushed for more than 300 yards and built a big first-half lead before hanging on for a 30-28 win at Oceanside Collegiate in the first round of the Class 2A playoffs Friday. The Warriors ran out to a 24-0 lead on C.J. Brown’s touchdown pass to Trevaughn Hipp, scoring runs by Irvin Mulligan and Brown, and the first of Henry Tome’s three field goals. The Landsharks got on the board with a touchdown pass just before halftime to pull within 24-7 and set the stage for a big second-half comeback. Another TD pass pulled OCA within 24-14 early in the third, and after Tome’s second field goal, the Landsharks con-
nected for another touchdown pass to get within 27-21. Tome’s third field goal made it a two-score game and proved to be the difference, as the Landsharks threw another touchdown pass but saw their rally fall short. The Warriors (7-4) will travel to Carvers Bay for a second-round game Friday.
Aynor 55, Battery Creek 26
Battery Creek’s season ended with a 55-26 loss at Aynor in the first round of the Class 3A playoffs on Friday. The Dolphins finished with a 2-9 record in coach Walter Wilson’s second season.

Madagascar Jr. brings a wild streak to USCB Center for the Arts in November
The Beaufort Children’s Theatre brings DreamWorks’ “Madagascar – A Musical Adventure Jr.” to the stage this weekend. Performances are scheduled for 7 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 16, and Saturday, Nov. 17, and 3 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 18, at the University of South Carolina Beaufort Center for the Arts. “This show is a musical comedy and is a lot of fun,” said Bonnie Hargrove, Director of the Center for the Arts. “It is a perfect show to bring the whole family to enjoy. The dialogue is clever and the music is very upbeat and entertaining.” As the show opens we learn that Marty the zebra (played by Dyamante Scotland) may be celebrating his 10th birthday at the Central Park Zoo with his friends Alex the lion (played by Sara-Rose Lyda), Gloria the hippo (played by Holland Perryman), and Melman the giraffe (Ilse von Heimburg), yet he longs to experience life outside of the zoo’s walls. When Marty eventually escapes, his animal friends from the zoo pursue him into New York City. After reuniting, the animals are chased by the police, and ultimately felled by tranquilizer darts.

TIME TO VOTE
Key races on ballot for midterms
One of the most-anticipated and most fiercely-contested midterm elections in recent memory will come to a close Tuesday, when voters across the country go to the polls. A number of key statewide offices are up for grabs in South Carolina, where Democrats are challenging for power in more races than usual, including competitive races for Governor and the U.S. House seat currently held by Mark Sanford. Closer to home, four Beaufort County School Board seats are on the ballot in Northern Beaufort County. District 2 incumbent David Striebinger is being challenged by Lady’ s Island resident Terry Thomas; District 3 incumbent Cynthia Gregory-Smalls faces challenges from Natasha Robinson, William Smith, and Buryl Sumpter; District 4 incumbent Joseph Dunkle faces challenger Tricia Fidrych; and four candidates — Stew Butler, Richard Geier, Ray Johnson, and Sarah Stuchell — are running for the open District 5 seat. Absentee voting has been brisk throughout all of Beaufort County, according to Marle Smalls, Director of Elections and Voter Registration in Beaufort County. On Monday, Oct. 29, alone, Smalls said nearly 500 voters had cast their absentee ballots in person at the Beaufort County Voter Registration Office in Beaufort, continuing an Marines and sailors with Marine Wing Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA) Corps Air Station Beaufort.
