It was a gorgeous day for the Beaufort Veterans Day Parade and Ceremony on Nov. 11. The annual parade, which included marchers, bands and floats, stepped off in downtown Beaufort and wove around downtown to the Beaufort National Cemetery.

A ceremony featured the Parris Island Marine Band at the Beaufort National Cemetery.

The speaker at the ceremony was Glenn Blackburn, a 27-year veteran of the 101st Airborne Division of the U.S. Army. He is a Purple Heart recipient and is also active with Tee It Up for Troops, the On Course Foundation and the Folds of Honor Foundation.

After months of citizen activism, plans for a huge new development were ditched after a 6-0 “no” vote by the Metropolitan Planning Commission at a highly anticipated, three-hour long meeting on Nov. 13.

The 19-acre parcel, called Whitehall, is at the foot of the Richard V. Woods Memorial Bridge and has been a source of contention as locals have expressed concerns about traffic, trees, the environment and the development in general.

"Tonight, the residents of Lady's Island had a chance to speak, and they refused to settle for colorless development or false resolutions to problems such as traffic and development density,” said Chuck Newton, chairman of the Sea Island Coalition. “We're pleased with the wisdom of the MPC, and hopeful both the city and the county get this message moving forward.”

More than 200 people turned out for the meeting of the MPC, a body that represents Beaufort County, the City of Beaufort and the Town of Port Royal. Every seat was taken and the crowd spilled out into the lobby.

The developers were asking for special zoning classification that would have increased the permitted density for the Whitehall property, according to the Sea Island Coalition.

MidCity Real Estate Partners, of Atlanta, owns the property but has been working with Sam Levin of Beaufort and other partners as the Whitehall Development Group.

The Whitehall plan would have been for a mix of commercial/retail space along the Sea Island Parkway, with apartments and an independent living facility in the interior of the property.

Five stand-alone commercial buildings, ranging in size from approximately 2,000 square feet to 6,000 square feet, and seven residential apartment towers – each four stories high – were planned.

PUBLIC SAFETY Man who brutalized elderly women gets life

A Hollywood, S.C., man accused of two murders and other crimes across the Lowcountry has been given four life sentences after pleading in Beaufort County General Sessions Court on Nov. 6.

Jerry Lee Manigault was to face trial on charges of murder, criminal sexual conduct and first-degree burglary in the May 12, 2014, death of 70-year-old Bluffton resident Polly Ann Mitchell. He also was charged in Charleston County for the murder of Julia Mudgett, 77, who lived near Manigault in Hollywood and was killed about six days before Mitchell.

Instead, Manigault entered a plea to accept four Jerry Lee life-without-parole sen- Manigault tences for murder and burglary charges associated with the women’s deaths. He also received 30 years for sexually assaulting Mitchell and 15 years for the strong-armed robbery of Mudgett.

Manigault’s South Carolina criminal record dates to at least 1993 and includes convictions for kidnapping, crack possession, criminal domestic violence, grand larceny, assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature, and burglaries.

He was a person of interest in Mudgett’s disappearance and was being sought by the U.S. Marshals Service for failure to register as a sex offender when he was spotted and arrested in Bluffton.

Hours later, a family member discovered Mitchell’s body in her Buck Island home. She had been sexually assaulted and strangled with a television power cord.

When Manigault was arrested, he had a backpack belonging to Mitchell. His clothing and money he carried in his pocket were stained with Mitchell’s blood. Manigault was wearing Mitchell’s ring on one of his fingers, and his DNA was found on the power cord used to strangle her. Traces of Manigault’s flesh were removed from beneath Mitchell’s fingernails.

One witness told authorities he saw Manigault near Mitchell’s house the night before her body was discovered. Others said Manigault, who grew up in Bluffton, had recently returned to the Buck Island Road area and had been trying to sell a maroon Hyundai Elantra.

That car, which belonged to Mudgett, was recovered from Tuten Landing Road in Ridgeland on May 12, 2014. A witness told authorities he abandoned it there a few days after purchasing the vehicle from Manigault.

After Mudgett’s body was discovered in a wooded area near her home, Manigault was charged with her murder, as well.

Home invasion, gunshots are being investigated

The Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office is investigating a home invasion and gunshots on Old Jericho Road in Burton At about 3 a.m. on Nov. 8, it was reported that several adults and an infant were located inside the residence when unknown subjects, some armed with handguns, forced their way into the home and began firing shots.

All of them had their faces covered and fled the scene prior to deputies arriving. No one was injured during the incident.

Anyone with information regarding the identities of any subject involved is urged to call 911 or Cpl. Jennifer Snider at 843-255-3421.

Shots fired at St. Helena convenience store

A shooting occurred at about 7:30 p.m. Nov. 7 in the parking lot of the Tiger Express convenience store on Sea Island Parkway on St. Helena Island.

After the shooting, an adult male victim was transported to Beaufort Memorial Hospital and later flown to the Medical University of South Carolina for treatment of gunshot wounds.

Further information was unavailable. The sheriff ’s office is asking that anyone with information contact Sgt. Adam Draisen at 843-2553409 or CrimeStoppers at 1-888-CrimeSC to remain anonymous and for a possible reward.

Sketch of sex assault suspect is released

The victim in an attempted sexual assault near the Bluestone Apartments in Bluffton recently met with a forensic artist from the South

Carolina Law Enforcement Division at the Beaufort County Sheriff 's Office.

The forensic artist then created a composite sketch of the suspect.

The suspect was described as an African-American male between 5 feet, 3 inches tall and 5 feet, 6 inches tall with a slender build, possibly in his 30s.

He has a crooked nose (maybe from a prior broken nose). The man was described as missing an upper front tooth and smelled of alcohol and cigarettes.

He was wearing a black or dark hooded sweatshirt and latex medical/food services style gloves (color unknown). And of particular significance, the subject was described by the victim as having a speech impediment — possibly a lisp — as the victim noticed the subject had problems pronouncing words that contained the letter “s”.

Anyone with information can contact Sgt. Seth Reynells at 843-255-3709 or CrimeStoppers at 1-888-CrimeSC to remain anonymous and for a possible reward.

Police seek clues in 2007 murder

On Nov. 10, 2007, Lee Anderson, 36, was found shot to death in his home on Peanut Lane in St. Helena.

Anderson had talked to his girlfriend and others late morning but was unable to be reached by the early afternoon. He was found later that evening when friends checked on him at his residence.

Through the investigation, it was learned that Anderson dealt marijuana and other illegal narcotics. Items in his home supported this finding. At the time of his death, it was believed Anderson may have had a large amount of drugs and cash, making robbery a likely motive.

Persons of interest were identified and interviewed, although no physical evidence linking them to the crime was uncovered.

As with the vast majority of drug-related homicides, this investigation revealed questionable witnesses and various rumors, leading investigators in many different directions.

Physical evidence collected during this investigation is still being evaluated in the hopes that improvements in forensic technologies will establish a link between suspects and the crime scene.

A reward of up to $2,500 is offered for information leading to an arrest in any Beaufort County cold case.

Anyone with information can contact Capt.

Bob Bromage at 843-255-3402, 843-8168013 or at robertb@bcgov.net. To remain anonymous and to collect a possible reward, call CrimeStoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC (274-6372).

BUSINESS

Can you have too much company stock?

Many companies offer their employees a stock purchase plan, enabling them to purchase company stock at a discounted price and invest in the company they work for.

While this can be a great way to invest in the stock market, as an investor you need to question whether it’s good to load up too much on your company’s stock — or any company’s stock, for that matter.

Investing in your company may be a good idea, but you need to make sure you set some guidelines and strategies to diversify your holdings not only among individual stocks other than your company’s, but among industry sectors as well.

Although diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against loss, doing so may help reduce the effects of the price fluctuations that will undoubtedly occur in your portfolio.

As you decide whether to participate in your employer’s stock purchase plan, keep in mind that owning too much of any single stock is rarely a good idea. While you may be confident of your Whitney McDaniel company’s prospects for success or you want to demonstrate your loyalty to your employer, you need to recognize that you may take on additional risk if you don’t diversify.

Also, as you evaluate your holdings, don’t overlook the potential danger in concentrating your investments within one industry, even if you spread your investments among several stocks in that industry. Oftentimes when bad news hits one stock in an industry, it can also have a similar impact on other

companies within the same sector.

So, how can you help reduce the risk in your portfolio? One way to help protect yourself is to diversify your portfolio among several stocks. In addition to your company’s stock, you should try to broaden your equity holdings to include 20 to 30 stocks in at least six to eight industry sectors with different investment characteristics.

Keep in mind that no more than 25 percent of your total portfolio value should be invested in any one sector.

Another good rule of thumb is to have no more than 15 percent of your total portfolio — including investments in your 401(k) and IRA — invested in one single stock.

You should strive to maintain a balanced asset allocation with not only stocks in different industries but also bonds and other investment vehicles as well. Keep in mind that an investment in stocks will fluctuate in value and when sold might be worth more or less than the original investment.

Once you have reviewed your portfolio and evaluated your investment objectives, you may realize that you have a “concentrated position” — that is, you have too much of your holdings in a single stock or you are

heavily invested in a single industry sector.

If this is the case, it is a good idea to contact a financial advisor and discuss strategies for reducing your concentrated holdings.

There are a variety of strategies that can help you reduce the risk involved in having concentrated positions in both taxable and tax-deferred accounts.

Your investment objectives, risk tolerance and time horizon will help dictate the appropriate asset balance for your financial situation.

Because each and every investor has different investment needs, seeking professional assistance is usually the best alternative to avoid keeping your eggs all in one basket.

Limited listings impact real estate market

By Janet Gresham

Every market is unique, yet the national sentiment has given rise to the notion that housing markets are stalling.

Although desirous buyers are out on an increasing number of showings, there is a limited number of desirable listings in Beaufort County.

And although mortgage rates have remained enticingly low, home prices have reached unaffordable levels for many new entrants into the housing pool at exactly the same time that established owners are proving to be less interested in moving.

For September, New Listings were down 24.9 percent to 145. Pending Sales decreased 27.3 percent to 112. Inventory grew 5.2 percent to 972 units.

Prices moved higher as Median Sales Price was up 4.6 percent to $215,000. Days

on Market increased 13.8 percent to 91 days.

Months Supply of Inventory was up 10 percent to 5.5 months, indicating that supply increased relative to demand.

Last year at this time, the national storyline was about how high demand was propping up sales and prices despite low inventory and months of supply.

That has actually continued to be a familiar refrain for many months in 2017 and now for the past couple of years.

But with the likes of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, different employment outlooks, disparate incomes, varying new construction expectations and potential housing policy shifts, regional differences are becoming more prevalent and pronounced.

Rotary names service members of year

Unit commanders and their cadre from Beaufort’s three military installations recently nominated service men and women for recognition by the Rotary Club of Beaufort as their Service Members of the Year.

A committee comprised of Rotarians who are military veterans selected the most outstanding candidate from each of the installations, and they were honored at a military recognition ceremony hosted by the Rotary Club of Beaufort at its Nov. 8 luncheon meeting.

Criteria for selection emphasized outstanding military service and significant volunteer activities benefiting the local community.

Each received a plaque and a check for $200.

The recognition ceremony was preceded by a presentation of the U.S. flag and the flags of each of the military services conducted by a joint service color guard from area Jr. ROTC units – the Army from Bluffton High, the Marine Corps from Battery Creek and Whale Branch high schools; the Air Force by Beaufort High School; and the Navy by Hilton Head High School.

nounced the formation of a new program to help veterans, active duty military and members of the reserves get free legal help.

The program is called V.A.L.O.R., which stands for Veterans, Active/Reserve LegalOutReach.

“The legal profession has always recognized it has a moral obligation to support those who defend the freedoms we treasure,” said Wilson, who’s also a colonel in the SC National Guard and a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom. “This new program will better connect veterans and members of the military with the legal help they need and may not know where to get, or may not be able to afford.”

The program will consist of free legal clinics held around the state starting in January, and a referral line to connect veterans and members of the military with lawyers who will provide free or heavily-discounted legal help for problems too complex to be handled at the clinics.

The first free clinic will be held in January in Rock Hill, with the second scheduled for February in Florence. Subsequent clinics around the state will be announced at a later date.

HEALTH

Is pain affecting your daily life…?

By Dr. Jennifer Wallace

If I told you I could help you sleep and breathe better, rid you of a lifetime of headaches, neck and back pain, increase your energy, and help you live a happier pain free life without medication, would you believe me?

Maybe not, but that’s normal to be skeptical. But if I could show you, would that convince you?

Over the last 10 years in practice, I have passionately explained and taught the importance of the effects of neuromuscular dentistry to our patients. Having a “bad bite” has become a common topic in the news and research as of late.

Continued education over the past 20 years has strong evidence relating the temporomandibular joint and teeth position to undesired symptoms.

Further research has now connected

TMD (temporomandibular disorder) and a person’s posture as a major contributing factor to occlusal disease.

This new approach is called physiologic dentistry. It is derived from neuromuscular dentistry, which is the science of aligning the lower jaw in relation to the upper jaw while creating a balanced and relaxed musculature of the head. This is done non-surgically. The physiologic dentist incorporates the neck and cervical posture position into treatment modalities.

The body’s systems are fully interconnected and when one system is in distress or out of balance, accommodations are made that can result in pain and malfunctions in other areas of the body.

There has been research to find the association between posture and occlusion, and its clinical impact.

TMD is directly related to the cervical and scapular region by an interrelated neuromuscular system.

Changes in the cervical spine (C1-C7) can cause relatable TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders and also the opposite is also true, that misaligned teeth and bite can cause cervical dysfunctions. Head and cervical (neck) muscles are closely related to the stomatognathic system (i.e. a patients oral health).

Studies have shown and confirmed that postural changes of the head and neck regions play an important role, and if misaligned will lead to TMJ dysfunctions.

Dental occlusion can present itself in a poor or bad bite and can cause discomfort in the surrounding areas.

For example, when the head, neck, and shoulders are imbalanced, you can see premature wear and damage to teeth. The muscles are often the affected areas that are more noticeable to patients, often presenting with migraines, headaches, and cramped or sore muscles.

During a routine oral examination in our office, signs and symptoms of occlusal disease are noted and the patient will be educated about the need for further diagnosis and treatment.

Better care is provided to our patient if occlusal disease and temporomandibular disorders are detected early and properly treated. Treating occlusal disease can lead to a long, healthy life of the dentition as well as restorative success.

Our exam also includes checking the joint

for clicking/ popping, and muscle soreness.

We can also test for muscle function and muscle hyperactivity. Technology allows us to track muscle movement, function, and enables us to find the ideal position for your jaw that places the muscles in the most relaxed state.

By placing the jaw and muscles in the ideal position the patient will then over time see relief from the tension symptoms they have been experiencing.

Physiologic dentistry is the way of the dental future! It involves less drugs and finding a solution to fix the problem.

It also involves so much more than just the mouth/ teeth. Knowing this is changing how we do dentistry and creating a healthy patient without jaw, head, or neck discomfort by simply finding the relaxed position of the jaw and the correct postural position.

We are passionate about this as well as our comprehensive dental care that allows us to increase our patients overall health, we are also taking pain and discomfort out of the lives of those we treat.

Please come see us and learn more about how we could help you and change your life!

Another structure would have been a 100unit independent living facility built as part of the property.

Activists were pleased that the MPC voted the zoning change that was being requested by the developers.

"What this decision did was confirm a strict reading of the Civic Master Plan, and the importance of reading the Beaufort Code based on its spirit and intent rather than making it up as we go along, as this application attempted to do," said Newton.

"But it also confirmed the importance of the community's voice and the centrality of the ‘Five Principles for Future Growth On Lady's Island’ that emerged from the Designing Lady’s Island meetings of last spring.”

Newton told the MPC that the Sea Island Corridor Coalition was not trying to thwart the plan, but asking for smarter development.

"We fully expect to see Whitehall developed at some point," he said. "And if the plan is smart and inspired and character-enhancing, the coalition could be fully supportive.

"But this particular proposal for Whitehall is, in our view, neither smart development, nor inspired development, nor character-enhancing development that will benefit Beaufort now or 20 years from now," he said.

The proposal was also opposed by the Coastal Conservation League and the Lady's Island Business & Professional Association.

The developers now have an option to appeal the MPC in court, return to the drawing board and resubmit a new application, or abandon its initiative entirely.

As for future development, Newton said he hopes people stay involved.

“They showed up (for Whitehall),” he said.

“I hope it’s not a flash in the pan. You have to stay at this if you want to have any impact.”

AN IN-DEPTH LOOK AT THE PEOPLE & EVENTS THAT SHAPE OUR COMMUNITY

B1

By Amy Rigard Almost anyone can appreciate a healthy home cooked meal. When it can be enjoyed without the shopping, prepping, cooking and cleaning typically involved in putting a meal on the dinner table, that’s even better.

Enter Gourmet on Wheels, a local business that’s been delivering fresh, individually prepared meals to Beaufort County homes since 2009 and is seeing a lot of growth recently.

Gourmet on Wheels isn’t like other meal delivery services advertised online or on TV. Rather than receiving a box with individually packaged ingredients for cooking, customers receive fully prepared entrees and sides delivered in containers that can easily be microwaved or frozen for later use.

Meals are usually large enough for couples to share, and they are cooked with low salt and sugar substitutes. Gourmet on Wheels will be delivering larger family-size meals starting in January 2018.

Tony Makar, who worked for many years as a nursing home administrator and has previous restaurant experience, saw a need to bring healthy meals to those in the community.

The business has grown through the years, and now new moms, busy on-the-go professionals, people recovering from surgery, elderly residents and many others enjoy the gourmet meals cooked by Tony, his “100 percent Italian” mother who comes from Charleston, and a staff who loves to cook.

Prep work for the upcoming week’s meals begins

A panne paste bolognese dish is ready to be delivered.

Sunday nights, and Tony and the staff spend their Mondays cooking in the Pleasant Point Plantation club kitchen. Meals are delivered Tuesdays to customers who choose from a menu of options that’s posted online about four weeks at a time. Local delivery is free.

Many Gourmet on Wheels customers, including Beaufort resident Kit Harley, order meals every week. Harley has been enjoying the individually prepared meals for nearly two years.

“I live alone, and it’s no fun to cook for yourself,” Harley said. “It’s so nice to have a healthy, really good meal prepared every day.”

For Makar, knowing that his business is making a difference in the lives of area residents is rewarding.

He hopes to continue to grow the business and potentially expand one day beyond Beaufort County.

To view menus and order meals, visit www. beaufortscmealdelivery.com.

Auditions for ‘America’s Got Talent’ coming to area NBC’s ”America’s Got Talent” (AGT) is back on the road looking for the best variety acts the nation has to offer, and will be hosting auditions on Sunday, Nov. 19, at the Savannah International Trade & Convention Center at 1 International Drive in Savannah.

This past summer AGT celebrated its most watched season ever, with an average of 16 million viewers per episode.

In addition, the show was a huge social success, garnering more than 2.6 billion views across social media platforms.

Season 12 saw the crowning of 12-year-old singing ventriloquist Darci Lynne Farmer from Oklahoma City as the AGT winner.

In addition to the $1 million grand prize, Darci headlined the ”America’s Got Talent” Live stage show inside the PH Showroom at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.

The sold-out show ran from Nov. 2-5, with additional

special guest Season 12 finalists that performed including singer Angelica Hale, comedian Preacher Lawson and dance group Light Balance.

“America’s Got Talent” continues to get bigger and better each and every year,” said AGT Executive Producer Sam Donnelly. “The show never fails to discover the best and most exciting acts the country has to offer. We literally

change lives and make careers on the AGT stage.

“I encourage anyone who thinks they have a talent worth sharing to audition for this next season.”

“America’s Got Talent” celebrates acts of any age and any talent. Throughout the history of the show, AGT has discovered and jump started careers for acts such as singer Grace VanderWaal, who went on to release her first EP, titled “Perfectly Imperfect,” which became the highest-selling EP of 2016.

Additionally, singer Jackie Evancho, who dazzled audiences on the AGT stage, has gone on to release a series of platinum and gold albums with sales of more than 2.5 million in the U.S. Acts of any age and any talent are encouraged to register at www.AGTAuditions.com. Acts not able to make it to one of the cities can submit an online audition video through this same website.

AROUND TOWN

Gullah heritage celebrated Thousands of people from all over the country crowded onto the grounds of Penn Center for the annual Heritage Days on Nov. 11. Those in attendance were treated

to good food, good music and live authentic Gullah entertainment from the venerable Aunt Pearlie Sue (Anita Singleton) and the Gullah Kinfolk.

Regina Good of Sumter flips over funnel cakes, a popular favorite at the annual Heritage Days.

Pvt. Terry James, left, portraying a soldier of the 54th Massachusetts, and Sgt. Gilbert Walker, of the First South Carolina, walked around Penn Center grounds and gave a living history as they answered questions about what it was like being a black Union soldier during the Civil War.

Holiday craft market offered Wednesdays The Santa Elena Foundation, in partnership with Hank's Lowcountry She Crab Soup, relaunched its second-annual craft market on Nov. 8 with the holidays in mind.

The market will be open from 2-6 p.m. every Wednesday until after the new year, and will feature live entertainment, arts and crafts vendors, local food artisans, giveaways and a kid's craft table.

The goal of the market is to raise awareness of local artisans and vendors, offer an alternative to big-box holiday gifts and raise money

for the foundation's preservation efforts.

The event is open to the public and the entertainment, parking and kid's craft table are free.

The market will be at the corner of Bladen and North streets in downtown Beaufort.

Vendors include The Essential Ed Koterba, Gwen Teas And Hot Chocolate, Hank’s Lowcountry She Crab Soup, Hilton Head Cookie Co., It’s Only Fair, Lee Bees Honey, Solo Verdi Organic Beef, Stevenson’s Produce, The Herb Room and Three Angels.

Event will light up the season The Festival of Trees benefiting Friends of Caroline is one of Beaufort’s beloved holiday celebrations, and the 2017 Festival continues a tradition that started 30 years ago.

The festival showcases beautifully decorated trees that are judged for their originality and creativity.

The event will be held at The Shed at 809 Paris Ave. in Port Royal.

It will kick off with an Opening Gala featuring a silent auction, music, wine, beer and appetizers from local restaurants from 6-9 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 30.

More than 350 individuals usually attend this reception where the trees are previewed prior to opening to the general public on Friday, Dec. 1.

In addition to the Opening Gala, the schedule is as follows: • 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday, Dec. 1: General admission • 8 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 2, Yoga in the Trees; 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. is general admission; Frozen Day will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. It will include special guest Elsa and Anna from Disney’s “Frozen” from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.; live reindeer Sven and more.

General admission is $5 for adults and $3 for children.

• 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 3 is general admission; 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. is Snow Day (with real snow to play in). General admission is $5 for adults and $3 for children.

Additionally, there will be a Christmas treasures for sale, a kids fun zone, a visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus and more.

Friends of Caroline is committed to providing the highest quality care to patients and families of those suffering from a life-limiting illness.

It is a local, nonprofit, Medicare-certified hospice provider that has been serving people throughout Beaufort County for the past 37 years.

Adult bereavement and support groups are offered to family members of patients served by Friends of Caroline as well as any member of the community at large who has experienced a loss.

Donations from individuals, businesses and foundations allow Friends of Caroline to provide hospice care, bereavement and caregiver support services to all individuals in the community regardless of their ability to pay.

Aunt Pearlie Sue, portrayed by Anita Singleton, was the mistress of ceremonies during the annual Heritage Days celebration at Penn Center. Photos by Bob Sofaly.

Attendees of the annual Heritage Days celebration stand and sing “Lift Every Voice and Sing.” The song, also referred to as the “Black National Anthem,” was written as a poem by James Weldon Johnson in 1900 and later set to music in 1905.

Give the gift of art Are you looking for that special one-of-akind Christmas gift? Something funky like a painting of an alligator with a Santa hat ... or just beautiful Beaufort-inspired Christmas cards?

A portion of BAA's Gallery will be transformed into a winter wonderland full of fine art and crafts especially created for the holiday boutique, which will be held through Sunday, Dec. 31, at 913 Bay St. in Beaufort.

The gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Monday-Saturday; and from 12:30-4:30 p.m. Sunday.

Local member artists have been working all year to design unique works of art that they will only show in the holiday boutique.

Hand-made, old-world Santas are always a hit; a return from a sell-out last year. Also included are small painting scenes of the Lowcountry, new lines of jewelry and the gold painted "auratone" photographs. Santa figures painted on glass and wood have also become a sought-after item.

One of BAA's potters also created a new line of small ornamental bowls and vases just for this event.

Additionally, the Christmas tree will be filled with hand-painted porcelain ornaments as well as very popular hand-crafted oyster angels and dried okra Santas.

Although the gifts are mainly holiday-inspired, not all the new art will be seasonal. Some of the artists have created new products that will just be available for the holidays.

All items are entirely the creative work of the artist and one-of -a-kind.

"It's a great opportunity to buy original art for a small price,” said Kim Painter, gallery chair. “Items start at $10 and small paintings are available for under $25. Once they're gone you will have to wait until next year for the 2018 collection."

The main gallery will also be exhibiting the work of over 65 local member artists.

Fun show coming to arts center “Shrek The Musical JR.” will be presented by the Beaufort Children’s Theatre at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 17, and Saturday, Nov. 18; and at 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 19, at the USCB Center for the Arts at 805 Carteret St. in Beaufort.

Beauty is in the eye of the ogre in “Shrek The Musical JR,” based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film and Broadway musical.

It’s a “big bright beautiful world” as everyone’s favorite ogre, Shrek, leads a cast of fairytale misfits on an adventure to rescue a princess and find true acceptance.

Part romance and part twisted fairytale, Shrek JR. is an irreverently fun show with a powerful message for the whole family.

Once upon a time in a far-away swamp,

there lived an ogre named Shrek. One day, Shrek finds his swamp invaded by banished fairytale misfits who have been cast off by Lord Farquaad, a tiny terror with big ambitions.

When Shrek sets off with a wisecracking donkey to confront Farquaad, he’s handed a task: If he rescues feisty Princess Fiona, his swamp will be righted.

Shrek tries to win Fiona’s love and vanquish Lord Farquaad, but a fairytale wouldn’t be complete without a few twists and turns along the way.

Tickets are $20 for adults;; $18 for seniors and military; and $14 for students and children.

Literary center designated landmark

The Pat Conroy Literary Center opened its doors to the public in October 2016 during the first annual Pat Conroy Literary Festival.

Following a year of robust educational programming in and beyond the Center’s home in Beaufort, the American Library Association (ALA) has honored the literary center with a national recognition.

At an Oct. 20 reception held during the second annual Pat Conroy Literary Festival, executive director Jonathan Haupt announced that the literary center was newly designated as an ALA United for Libraries Literary Landmark, only the second in the state of South Carolina.

B2

NOVEMBER 16 - 22, 2017

The ALA’s United for Libraries Literary Landmarks registry was founded in 1986 to honor and promote sites of literary significance nationwide.

Other Literary Landmark sites include the William Faulkner House in Oxford, Miss.; the Alex Haley Museum in Henning, Tenn.; Ernest Hemingway’s birthplace in Oak Park, Ill.; the Margaret Mitchell Home and Museum in Atlanta; the Dr. Seuss National Memorial Sculpture Garden in Springfield, Mass.; the Eudora Welty Library in Jackson, Miss.; the Tennessee Williams House in New Orleans; the Idlewild Public Library in Idlewild, Mich., which was central to the

writing lives of Charles Chestnutt, Zora Neale Hurston, Langston Hughes, and W. E. B. DuBois; and SC’s first Literary Landmark, the James Dickey Library site at the University of South Carolina in Columbia, which honors one of Pat Conroy’s teachers.

The Conroy Center’s Literary Landmark was coordinated in partnership with the South Carolina Center for the Book, an affiliate of the Library of Congress Center for the Book.

The landmark plaque was sponsored by two statewide organizations, the South Carolina State Library and the South Carolina Academy of Authors, and by the

Public Library Foundation of Beaufort County.

“South Carolina authors have made numerous contributions to the larger literary landscape. The South Carolina State Library is thrilled that South Carolina’s newest Literary Landmark designation recognizes and honors the many contributions of one of the Palmetto State’s favorite sons, Pat Conroy, and of the Literary Center established in his honor” said Leesa Aiken, South Carolina State Library director. “Conroy’s style continues to shape, influence and encourage both seasoned and blossoming writers, and will for years to come. We all share in

South Carolina’s sense of pride and connection to Pat, felt most deeply in his beloved Beaufort, and the Conroy Literary Landmark, like the Conroy Center itself, is a testament to Pat’s continued importance to readers and writers nationally as well as regionally.”

The Pat Conroy Literary Center has previously been recognized as SC’s first affiliate member of the American Writers Museum. The Conroy Center is located at 308 Charles St. in Beaufort, and open to the public from noon to 4 p.m.

Thursday through Sunday.

SPORTS & SCHOOLS

NFL veteran named as BHS head coach

Former University of South Carolina and Dallas Cowboys star DeVonte Holloman has been named head coach of the Beaufort High School football program.

Holloman has coached at Beaufort High School for the past three years, the first year as defensive backs coach and the second and third years as defensive coordinator.

“Coach Holloman is a natural leader and he’s already familiar with our school, our football program and our student-athletes.” said Beaufort High School Principal Bonnie Almond, who announced the coaching selection. “It’s very obvious that the kids respect him."

Holloman succeeds Mark Clifford, who stepped down recently after 14 years as Beaufort High’s head coach. The former Dallas Cowboy said he was excited about his new challenge.

“I’m so thankful for the opportunity,” Holloman said. “My goal is to build not just solid football players but also successful young people. I want to prepare them for the next level, whether that’s college, the workplace or the military.”

Almond said the high school’s current

football staff supported promoting Holloman to head coach. As a high school player, Holloman played on two North Carolina state championship teams at Charlotte’s Independence High School and one South Carolina state championship team at Rock Hill’s South Pointe High School. His South Pointe teammates included future NFL stars Jadaveon Clowney and Stephon Gilmore.

Following high school, Holloman went on to play for the University of South Carolina.

Holloman was a three-year starter at safety and linebacker for the Gamecocks.

At the conclusion of his college career, Holloman was selected by the Dallas Cow-

boys in the 2013 NFL Draft. His best game during his rookie season was an 11-tackle, two-sack performance against the Philadelphia Eagles. He suffered two neck injuries while with the Cowboys, the second of which forced his early retirement in August 2014.

“Coach Holloman is not only a terrific teacher of the game of football, he’s also very

gifted when it comes to connecting with young people about the issues they face in their daily lives,” said Beaufort High Athletic Director Linc Lyles. “In my experience, that’s unusual for someone at such an early stage in his career. He’s a proven winner and we're confident that he'll bring his winning spirit to Beaufort High School."

2017 season, notched wins over Patrick Henry Academy, Northside Christian Academy, Calhoun Academy, Cathedral Academy and Hilly Hill Academy during its 2017 season.

“Our goal as a community should be to keep our children energized about learning, through their school years and beyond,” said Learning Center board member Charles Kresch. “Through The Learning Center Fund, we aim for children to reach their highest potential.”

Child Find Expansion was designed to provide insight into the early intervention needs in Beaufort County. The Child Find data collection system developed by the district has the ability to track children throughout their educational careers and can be utilized in determining the percentage of children who are considered “ready to learn” upon entering the first grade.

“We know from research how much young learners can benefit from prekindergarten, and the first step for the school district is identifying these children’s specific needs,” Hutchison said. “The support we’ve gotten from the Learning Center Fund has been extraordinary.”

SCHOOL BRIEFS District receives $50,000 for screening programs

Hundreds of Beaufort County children are expected to receive developmental screenings and needed educational intervention to prepare them for kindergarten, thanks to $50,000 in additional funding from The Learning Center Fund of Coastal Community Foundation.

The screenings will be conducted by the Child Find Expansion Program, which offers comprehensive vision, hearing, speech and developmental screenings each month at Beaufort Elementary and Michael C. Riley Early Childhood Center for children ages 2½ to 6.

The Child Find team consists of a registered nurse, a speech therapist and early childhood professionals.

Additional funding from The Learning Center Fund has allowed the program to hire an additional part-time early childhood professional to work directly with families in need of follow-up services and formal education for their children.

Follow-up services include additional referrals, connections to community resources, home visits, parenting/child advocacy

and proactive early interventions.

“Since 2013, we’ve been able to screen an additional 1,500 children and identified 329 children with suspected developmental delays,” said Ashley Hutchison, the district’s director of School Readiness. “The Learning Center’s support makes it possible to help prepare children for success in kindergarten and beyond.”

Learning Center board chairman Malcolm Goodridge and board member Charles Kresch were recognized for their organization’s latest donation at a recent Beaufort County Board of Education meeting.

During the past four years, the Child Find Expansion Program has received a total of $297,000 from the Learning Center Fund of Coastal Community Foundation.

A comprehensive media campaign has been successful in recruiting children from public, private and parochial schools, child care centers, family day care homes and Head Start. The Child Find Expansion Program also receives referrals from local pediatricians, the Medical University of South Carolina, Healthlink, the South Carolina Department of Social Services, Babynet,

District high school students outperformed their peers from across South Carolina on a key statewide exam during the 2016-17 school year, according to data released recently by the South Carolina Department of Education.

In the third year of South Carolina’s required statewide administration of ACT college entrance exams to all 11th-graders, Beaufort County students exceeded state averages in all five subject areas measured by the ACT. Their average composite score was 18.4 on ACT’s 36-point scale compared to the state average of 17.7.

Comparing scoring with previous years, district 11th-graders improved from 18.2 in 2015 to 18.3 in 2016 to 18.4 in 2017.

“Our 11th-graders have improved their ACT scores each year,” said Superintendent Jeff Moss. “We’re not where we want to be in terms of student achievement, but it’s encouraging that our high schools are making steady progress.”

In addition to state-required ACT testing in students’ junior year, individual students can choose to take the ACT additional times as seniors to increase their scores.

Watchdog citizens strengthen communities

By Richard Eckstrom S.C. Comptroller

They keep tabs on their public officials, often asking the tough questions and sounding the alarm when something doesn’t seem right.

They attend meetings, sometimes sitting in the front row and staying until the very end.

They request information under the public-records law. Sometimes, they criticize.

Watchdog citizens are an annoyance to a lot of politicians, muddying up the otherwise tidy business of government. But they serve a vital purpose, and many have made a positive difference in their communities. A few examples off the top of my head: • Years ago, a woman in SC fought both DHEC and her local well water provider over her neighborhood’s water quality and high utility rates. Taking on government – or a utility – is always an uphill battle, and the woman was initially unable to even obtain the public records she sought under the Freedom of Information Act. But she persisted. After threatening to get the media involved, she got the documents she wanted … documents that suggested contaminants in the well water had been making people sick. The wells were shut down, and her efforts ultimately resulted in better water quality for her neighborhood.

• In the Lowcountry this summer, a citizens group which is often at odds with the leadership of the local school district was reviewing the district’s spending when they noticed questionable charge card purRichard chases – including one at Eckstrom Victoria’s Secret. The discovery prompted district leaders to explain some of the charges, and as it turns out the Victoria’s Secret charge was fraudulent and had been reimbursed. That’s good to know, I guess, but it was information that should have already been publicly available.

The school superintendent later proposed improvements to the district’s spending reports – a positive step resulting directly from the involvement of watchdog citizens.

• Concerned Columbia residents for years butted heads with city leaders over the annual transfer of millions of dollars from the water-and-sewer maintenance fund into the city’s general fund. The highly-unpopular practice left the city with both ever-increasing water bills and a crumbling water-sewer system, yet city officials insisted that ending it would leave them with a devastating budget shortfall. Unable to persuade the mayor and City Council to stop raiding the water-sewer

fund, a trio of good-government advocates pooled their money, hired an attorney and took the matter to court.

The case made it to the SC Supreme Court, which sided with the citizen-watchdogs in ruling that water-sewer money shouldn’t be treated as a slush fund. The city soon abolished the practice and restored its water-sewer maintenance fund. And all turned out fine; there was no budget shortfall after all.

• Some attentive residents in one county discovered that three local elected officials had declined county-sponsored health insurance in favor of cash payments – each totaling about $24,000 over a several-year period. One county council member had also received $26,000 in public funds toward his college tuition. Both the cash-in-lieu-of-insurance and the tuition payments ran afoul of the State Constitution.

The citizens sought to have the money returned to the taxpayers and demanded the politicians’ resignations, though those efforts were rebuffed. The watchdogs’ work did pay dividends, however, as the county ended the questionable payments and the three incumbents were later ousted by voters.

• When one school district barred citizens from recording public meetings, a local activist – one who happened to know that SC

law allows citizens to record such meetings – took her district to court. The woman was publicly mocked and derided by district officials eager to discredit her. But the law was on her side. She prevailed, and as a result the district made its meetings truly open.

In each of these cases, the watchdogs drew fire from the entities they sought to hold accountable ... yet their perseverance ultimately proved beneficial to their communities.

I frequently get calls from such citizens seeking advice, and a recurring complaint is that they’re often maligned, sometimes publicly and harshly, because of their efforts.

Unfortunately, too many governmental bodies choose to shoot the messenger – even well-meaning citizens with valid concerns.

That’s a shame. Citizen-watchdogs strengthen their communities (as do local newspapers.) They improve the quality of government by keeping officials honest; our leaders tend to walk a little straighter when they know someone’s watching.

People who care enough to get involved in guiding their community’s future should be respected – even cherished – including those whose watchful eyes add another layer of government oversight. Especially those who take their lumps and refuse to relent.

Will you still need me, will you still feed me…

Fifty years ago, in November of 1967, I turned 14 years old. It was that same year that the Beatles released a song on their Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album titled “When I’m 64.”

Now 50 years later, here I am, walking around my house singing “When I’m 64.”

It's hard to imagine that my 14-year-old self would ever guess she would someday turn 64. I am of the generation that did not want to be older than 30. But somewhere along the way, 30 seemed kind of fun, and then came my 40s, 50s and now my 60s.

Each year brings new adventures.

But Paul McCartney’s words seem foreign in many ways now as I look around at all the men and women I know who are in their 60s and 70s.

These are vibrant active people. Many are still working, not willing to stop and just

Now what?

According to his website, he is going on tour next month in Australia, performing five concerts in Australia and one in New Zealand.

It did appear that he planned on growing old with a spouse. But his wife Linda died at the age of 56 after being married to Paul for 29 years.

Sometimes, life throws a curve ball, and things you planned when you were

young are not able to happen. But happily, his wife Nancy, 57, will be with him for a while.

No, I am not “losing my hair,” and neither is my spouse, but I do expect “birthday greetings with a bottle of wine.” And although we do have many grandchildren, not one of them is named “Vera, Chuck or Dave.” Still the song is sweet and appropriate for me to be singing as I welcome this birthday turning 64.

And so, as I sauntered up behind my spouse yesterday and once again sang the last line of the song, which ends with this question, “Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I’m 64?”

My spouse turned to me and said, “Yes, only if you promise not to spend the next year singing that song.”

We shall see.

right turn lanes for ingress/egress for the Sea Island Parkway entrance. Otherwise, or we will be sitting in murderous traffic jams there soon.

The second burning issue is the developer seeks to build way too many buildings on the property. With that degree of impervious (won’t absorb water) material in asphalt, concrete, buildings, etc., the stormwater runoff and potential for flooding will be significant. If allowed to continue, as in Charleston and other low areas, the “drainage deficit” can result in the kind of flooding we have seen in those localities.

More than anything, I hoped to convince the MPC that when it comes to properties that border the tideline (reached by tidal

waters), there must be a stricter set of environmental standards in place for land development that go beyond the mandatory 30foot development setback mandated by SC DHEC OCRM. As just one example, saving mature trees on tideline properties not only shields the resulting buildings from view, the trees hold the soil, prevent erosion and reduce the potential of storm water runoff and pollution of nearby wetlands and waterways.

I hope the MPC will listen to the citizens and conservation groups, because the decisions made for Whitehall will set precedents for Beaufort tideline communities that will affect us all for years to come.

take a “ride on a Sunday morning,” unless it is in a golf cart. The lyrics suggest something of an end-of-life connotation as if there is nothing else left.

“He can be handy mending a fuse.”

“You can knit a sweater by the fireside.”

The song lyrics also do not suggest that Paul, at 25 when the song was released, would have every guessed that 50 years later he would still be performing concerts.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Many concerns about Whitehall development

I relocated permanently to Beaufort almost two years ago, in part due to its stunning natural beauty and historic legacy.

Suddenly, I am cognizant of the fact that those of us who live on the islands (Lady’s, St. Helena, Dataw, Harbor and Fripp) east of Woods Bridge are about to be impacted directly and irrevocably by decisions that will be made by Beaufort Planning and the Beaufort Metropolitan Planning Commission (MPC).

I presented my concerns to the MPC on Nov. 13 regarding concerns I have relative to the long-awaited development of the Whitehall property.

Consisting of (19) heavily-wooded

acres located at the foot of Woods Bridge, Whitehall drains directly into Factory Creek and the Beaufort River. Soil disruption on that site will certainly affect the marshes via storm water runoff with its certain pollutants and from deadly siltation via eroded soil.

Many are concerned about the number of mature trees that will be destroyed, but my drop-in meeting with Beaufort Planning and review of the aborist’s plan alleviated my concerns about clearing of trees, to some degree.

But for those of us who have studied the current plan, the two most disturbing facts are the immediate and permanent traffic impacts we will suffer on Sea Island Parkway and Meridian Road. I am proposing
