Bridges Prep leaders break ground for new school in Port Royal Golden shovels turned sandy soil Tuesday, Nov. 20, to commemorate the start of construction on Bridges Prep Charter School’s new 72,000-squarefoot middle and high school facility in Port Royal. The groundbreaking is the culmination of more than three years of work to secure financing, work through plans and designs, locate and buy the property, and receive all the necessary permits and approvals. The new facility is scheduled to be ready in 12 months. “This has been quite a journey, but today as we break ground for the new school, it’s certainly been worth the work,” said Dee Matthews, chair of the Bridges Prep Board of Directors. “I look forward to when we do the ribbon cutting in about one year, and see even bigger smiles on the faces of our students, staff and families.”
Attending the groundbreaking were local leaders, including Beaufort County Council Chairman Paul Sommerville, Port Royal Town Councilman Darryl Owens, Blakely Williams from the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce, newly announced Head of School Gary McCulloch, and representatives of the Beaufort-Port Royal Fire Department, which has a fire station just around the corner from the new school. As construction starts, Bridges Upper School students are attending class at the site in temporary modular classrooms. Members of the school’s National Honor Society, National Junior Honor Society and Student Council attended the groundbreaking. The middle and high school buildings, including a multipurpose room and administrative space, cover 71,692 square
feet. The approved construction bid was $12,570,794 and site-preparation for construction cost about $2.5 million. The site work is almost complete and the building contractor, Hood Construction, expects to complete the project in 365 days. The 20-acre property, located off Robert Smalls Parkway south of Cross Creek Shopping Center, was purchased for $606,600, roughly $30,000 per acre. Designing and building an elementary school and related support facilities will be the next phase of work – which likely will require additional financing. “We have been fortunate to have worked very hard to increase our enrollment and to be very responsible with our spending, which have helped make our financing for this project possible,”
Matthews said. Enrollment at Bridges Prep has doubled since it opened in 2013. Bridges Prep received assistance in financing this project from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and its Rural Development Fund, led locally by Nickie Toomes. Additional banking support came from Ameris Bank, led by Christian Kata and Tom Hermann. Bridges Preparatory School was chartered by South Carolina in mid-2012 and opened in August 2013. In 2017, it was named a SC Charter School of Distinction and rated as one of the top three in South Carolina for academic achievement and academic growth. As a state charter school, Bridges Prep is open to all students in the Lowcountry without tuition. Bridges Prep SEE FUTURE, PAGE A6
Bridges Prep hires McCulloch as next Head of School Gary McCulloch, the popular principal at River Ridge Academy in Bluffton, will become the next Head of School for Bridges Prep Charter School in Beaufort. The Bridges Board of Directors finalized McCulloch’s contract Gary McCulloch last week with a unanimous approval after voting to negotiate an employment contract with him Nov. 12. “To say we are thrilled is an understatement,” Bridges Prep Board Chair Dee Matthews said. “Mr. McCulloch brings to Bridges Prep his SEE SCHOOL, PAGE A6

Two serious Trask Parkway wrecks last week Twice in less than a week, Burton firefighters responded to serious motor vehicle collision on Trask Parkway in Gray’s Hill. Just after 8 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 23, Burton firefighters were dispatched to a reported accident at the intersection of Trask Parkway and Big Road in Gray’s Hill, several yards from the location of an early-morning fatal wreck six days earlier at the intersection of Trask Parkway and Bruce K Smalls Road. Firefighters arrived to find a two-vehicle collision between two SUVs, a Kia and a Dodge, both of which sustained heavy damages. While the initial collision occurred in the northbound lane of Trask Parkway, the Kia crossed two lanes of oncoming traffic in the southbound lanes, before coming to rest in a ditch. Burton firefighter EMTs assisted all three occupants, who suffered minor injuries but declined transport to the hospital. It is believed all were wearing seatbelts at the time.
Burton fire Lt. Eric Swanson, who was first to arrive on scene, stated he and his crew were preparing for the worst based upon the location of the wreck and the damages they saw to the vehicle when they arrived on scene. “This really could have been a tragedy, especially an out of control vehicle crossing two lanes of oncoming highway traffic,” he said. The Burton Fire District has responded to 238 motor vehicle collisions in 2018, 27 of which occurred on Trask Parkway. Of the 238 collisions, trapped occupants had to be rescued from their vehicles five times — three of those rescues occurred on Trask Parkway.

Prepare a fire evacuation plan with your family PROVIDED BY STATE FARM If a fire strikes in your home, you won't have much time to react. Smoke inhalation can overwhelm a child or adult in less than two minutes. Be prepared by making a fire evacuation plan with your family so everyone makes it out of the house quickly and safely. A Map, a Plan, an Assignment First, sketch a map of your house's floor plan. Hold a family meeting, and familiarize your children with the map by pointing out where each room in the house is. Pasting a photo of each family member inside his or her respective bedroom on the map may help younger children. Once your children understand the map, draw a red line from each room to show the exit route. If possible, draw an alternate route out of each room through a window, in case the primary route is blocked. Then designate a meeting
place outside for the family to gather that is a safe distance away from the house, such as the mailbox, and draw that place on the map. Post the evacuation plan on the refrigerator to keep it fresh in your family's mind. Everyone in your family should have an assignment or responsibility in the event of an evacuation. Younger children should only focus on getting out according to the exit route. Have an adult account for the children and any pets getting out safely. Children who are old enough can be placed in charge of calling 9-1-1 once they are outside, or alerting a neighbor to call. This will help them see that they are an important part of the plan, and they need to take it seriously. Teach Safety Techniques Define, step-by-step, what you expect your children to do. Teach them to stay
low to the floor, moving on their hands and knees, if there is smoke in their room. To avoid inhalation, instruct them to cover their face with a pillowcase or shirt. Show them how to crawl over to their bedroom door and touch the doorknob first. If it's hot, they should stand by their window and wave a shirt. If it's not hot, they should proceed out the door and exit the house to the meeting place outside. They should never attempt to pick up toys and personal possessions, or look for their parents, siblings, or pets. Sticking to the evacuation plan to get out safely is most important. Conduct Drills Let your children hear what a smoke detector going off sounds like. Tell them to follow the fire escape plan whenever they hear the smoke detector beeping. Practice this with periodic fire drills. Activate the
smoke detector and work with your children so they don't forget what they are supposed to do. If they are having trouble, show them the map and repeat the plan until they have mastered it. With enough drills, you can avoid panic and confusion if a real fire strikes in the home. The information in this article was obtained from various sources not associated with State Farm .

While at River Ridge Academy, McCulloch has boosted academic achievement, created strong business partnerships to support students and the school, and created such an appealing school that there is a lengthy waiting list of students wanting to enroll. “We had three very strong finalists for this position, and I am confident any one of them could succeed,” said David Gault, a Bridges Prep board member who served on the contract negotiating committee. “But in Gary we have someone who can bring immediate leadership to the school at an important time as we complete our high school program, continue to grow our enrollment and kick off construction of our new middle and upper school facility in Port Royal.” McCulloch’s hiring came after three finalists attended an afternoon and evening meet and greet with staff and parents, and then formal, private interviews with the Board of Directors. Bridges has operated with an interim Head of School, Chris Wilson, at the helm since January 2018, with Dr. Sherri Herbst serving as assistant interim Head of School. Wilson also serves as Upper School Principal while Herbst is principal for the elementary and middle grades as well as working for the entire school as its curriculum specialist.

His school has been the top performing school in the Beaufort County School District with middle school achievement test results among the top five percent in the state. River Ridge was the first school in South Carolina to earn STEM ADVANC-ED certification in its first year, boasts more than 200 parent volunteers, has generated more than $200,000 in fundraising in just over two years, and has 32 business partners. McCulloch is a finalist for 2018 S.C. Principal of the Year, and was runner-up in 2016. “I am excited at the possibilities and humbled by the Board’s decision to hire me as Head of School,” McCulloch said. “I see so much potential at Bridges to improve on the already exceptional achievements by staff, students, families and the Board.” Bridges Preparatory School was chartered by South Carolina in mid-2012 and opened at near capacity in August 2013. Since then, enrollment has grown steadily with more than 700 students enrolled in K-11 this year. In 2017, it was named one of South Carolina’s top three state charter schools based on academic achievement and growth. School leaders are starting construction of a full-service campus in Port Royal off Robert Smalls Parkway. As a state charter school, Bridges Prep is open to all students in the Lowcountry without tuition.

Seeking God
Saints and Sinners Encountering Brokenness Among Believers
“This gym will change your life!”
There is no perfect gym, and no perfect group of believers.
A friend raves about his gym, sharing enthusiastically how exercise changes one’s life, and you decide to check it out. Walking around, you see a number of very fit people, exercising with focus. But you also notice a lot of people who aren’t doing much. They seem more concerned with socializing than getting in shape. And in the corner, you see your friend, taking a nap on one of the exercise balls!
If we were to wait for a church full of perfect members, we would never be part of a church! Jesus told us this would be the case: his church would be full of wheat and weeds, saints and sinners, until the end of time. (Matthew 13:24-30) To a certain degree, we are all weeds. We all have sins and brokenness. Thankfully, the Church is meant to be a hospital for sinners, not a club for perfect people.
We experience a similar phenomenon in church.
Be inspired by those who are spiritually fruitful. The quality of a gym is best seen by looking at those who take advantage of all it offers. Similarly, the value of a church is best seen by looking at those who make full use of its spiritual treasures. Such believers will still have weaknesses, but one should be able to see a peace and a joy in their lives. In the Catholic Church, we are inspired by people like Francis of Assisi or Mother Teresa, whose lives were transformed by Christ’s grace in beautiful and amazing ways.
In pretty much every faith community, one will find people who are passionate about God and live out their faith whole-heartedly. But one will also find people who are going through the motions, or who are not practicing what they preach, perhaps even among those who are leaders or well-regarded. If you have been hurt or scandalized by someone who should have been an example of faith, it might be helpful to consider the following reflections. God is still worth knowing, even though his followers fail. There are many things in life worth doing, even though people involved are flawed. In our analogy, the napping friend has not been faithful to exercise, but this doesn’t mean that exercise and good nutrition aren’t worthwhile pursuits. Just because some people who follow God don’t practice what they preach, it doesn’t mean that God isn’t real or that he isn’t worth knowing. Each of us are sinners in need of salvation. If we are honest with ourselves, we can probably see how we have often wanted to live a certain way but have failed, or sins that we have struggled with but just couldn’t seem to overcome. We are all broken to one degree or another; “all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23) Remembering our own human weakness can help give us some perspective when we encounter indifference or outright evil among some of Christ’s followers.

Lady’s Island Jr. Leadership TCL renames lecture group visits BJW&SA theater in honor of gift
The Lady’s Island Jr. Leadership group visited Beaufort Jasper Water and Sewer Authority on Nov. 14. Communications Specialist Lou Brown presented to the group and explained the importance of having clean water in Beaufort and Jasper counties. She explained the requirements needed to work in different fields such as chemists and engineers. Chemists are needed to remove bacteria from the water and to add chlorine and fluoride before entering our homes. Engineers are required to maintain and modernize the facilities equipment. The students learned that BJW&SA is a non-taxing, non-profiting business. Students were escorted through each stage water travels through to get
cleaned and learned that our drinking water comes from the Savannah River and can take as little as eight hours to reach our faucets. Later in the day, the students were guided by Tyler McTeer and Oliver Simmons, who work at the Reclamation Center in Port Royal. At the Reclamation Center they discovered how waste water is treated, purified and returned to our communities for use either on golf courses or returned to the Beaufort River. Overall, the students said they learned how important BJW&SA is to a town and how much we rely on the nearly 200 employees to make sure we have fresh water to drink each day.

Beaufort County firefighters prepare to help Santa
Santa mailboxes available from Sheldon to Hilton Head. Sheldon Fire District firefighters install a Santa mailbox at their Keans Neck Road fire station.
From Sheldon, the northernmost part of Beaufort County, to the southernmost tip of Hilton Head island, firefighters are again assisting Santa Claus this holiday season by placing a Santa mailbox at all fire stations to assist local children in getting their letters directly to the North Pole. Thanksgiving starts the holiday season, and Santa’s mailroom becomes very busy receiving children’s letters filled with Christmas wishes. To help ensure that all letters make their way to the North Pole, Santa is again entrusting Beaufort County firefighters to handle his mail, and county firefighters are wasting no time ensuring that the Christmas wishes of local children reach Santa in time. Starting last weekend, Santa’s mailboxes were posted at all Beaufort County fire stations and ready to receive letters from local children. Bluffton Fire District Battalion Chief Vernon Edenfield was first contacted by
Santa Claus more than five years ago to help with getting mail from Beaufort County children to the North Pole. Chief Edenfield then turned to the Beaufort County Fire Chiefs’ Association for help in the effort, and the fire chiefs have been more than willing to lend a hand for this annual event. Santa’s mailboxes will be up at all Beaufort County fire stations until Dec. 17. Santa promises that each letter received will get a reply from him before Christmas, and asks that children’s names and return address are clearly written in the letter. “Firefighters serve their community in many ways,” stated current Beaufort County Fire Chiefs’ Association President, Bluffton Deputy Chief, Paul Boulware. “We get our citizens through the bad times, but it’s also our honor to help facilitate the good times for them as well. We look forward to doing this every year for our children and families.”
Dataw Island named SCGA’s Club of the Year Dataw Island has been named the South Carolina Golf Association’s 2018 Club of the Year. Since 2013, the South Carolina Golf Association (SCGA) has bestowed this coveted award annually in recognition of clubs that are committed to growing the game through amateur golf by hosting championships, seminars, charity events and anything else that supports the growth of the game. “We are very excited to announce that the Dataw Island Club has been named the SCGA’s 2018 Club of the Year,” said SCGA Executive Director Biff Lathrop. “Dataw has a long history of the supporting the SCGA and our many championships, but to host two championships in the same year certainly deserves the honor of Club of the Year. Congratulations to all that are a part of that great facility.” Dataw island and Director of Golf Dave Britton have long supported growing the game, supporting events at the amateur level as well as the collegiate level and high school levels. “The SCGA is an outstanding organization,” said Britton. “There is a tremendous
pool of talent in the Carolinas, and the SCGA does a great job of nurturing the game of golf and providing opportunities for golfers to advance their skill and sometimes their careers. We truly enjoy working with the staff of the SCGA, they are a great group. We love having golfers of this caliber playing our courses and enjoying the entire Dataw experience.” Lathrop couldn’t agree more. “I want to thank the Dataw Island Club for their historic effort this summer hosting both the state amateur and the junior championships. It was the first time in the history of our association that one club has hosted both championships in the same year and they nailed it.” Recent notable golf tournaments on Dataw Island have included the SCGA’s Amateur and Senior Amateur championships, the S.C. Open, and the TaylorMade-Adidas Intercollegiate (now the TaylorMade Intercollegiate). Dataw will next year host the Carolinas Golf Association’s Senior 4-Ball, Women’s SCGA Amateur Championship, and the SCGA Mixed Team Championship.

Recalling Northern Beaufort County’s ‘annexation wars’ By Scott Graber
It was years ago — perhaps 18 years ago — and we were sitting in a dark, oak-paneled hotel bar. I could be seen with a Dewar’s Scotch on the bar in front of me; David Taub then favored Merlot; and normally we would have been animated, laughing. But not that night. That night we were angry and arguing about annexation. Earlier that year I had been working with Beaufort County Council trying to sell its “Com-prehensive Plan” to the public — to sell the notion that certain parts of the county should always be undeveloped, unimproved, rural. David, a former mayor, was interested in keeping the City of Beaufort solvent — trying to generate tax money from developing areas then outside the city limits. Previously we had tiptoed around this difference of opinion, but that night — in a bar in Newport News, Virginia — we clashed. The “annexation wars” had started in 1998 with Union Camp’s effort to get more density for what would eventually become Palmetto Bluff. The Comprehensive Plan had as-signed a “rural” classification for this timber-growing property, meaning one house for every three acres. Union Camp wanted one house to each acre. County Council and Un-ion Camp met many times but were unable to reach a compromise. Eventually Union Camp said it would seek
annexation into Bluffton in return for the 1-to-1 ratio it wanted. Bluffton agreed to the deal and suddenly a huge chunk of Beaufort County passed out of the county’s Planning Department into Scott Graber the one-man office in the Town of Bluffton. The City of Beaufort and the Town of Port Royal took note of this opportunistic annexa-tion. Beaufort had long coveted the commercial property on Lady’s Island, and Port Royal saw its own manifest destiny extending to the Broad River bridge and beyond. The city began, in 2000, a series of amphibious assaults aimed at Publix (who wanted Sunday beer sales), Walgreen’s (who didn’t like the county’s site requirements), St. Pe-ter’s Catholic Church and Distant Island. Then, in a turning movement reminiscent of Stonewall Jackson at Chancellorsville, the city came looking for real estate near the air-port in 2003. The developer who owned the airport property wanted something in return. He wanted to develop the property commercially and the quid pro quo — for his annexation petition — was a development agreement showing possible buildings to be built, densities, the ag-gregate square footage and plenty of room for innovation.
When, in 2008, it became clear that the developer now had a Walmart in mind, public opinion — especially on La-dy’s Island — turned against the project. The lawsuit that followed ended with the ourt saying, ‘Neither do the PUDs impose limits, building sizes or require any specific layout of buildings.’ And so it came to pass that Lady’s Island got its hotly debated Walmart. The annexation wars between Beaufort County and the City of Beaufort came to an end with a negotiated settlement that established growth boundaries in Northern Beaufort County. This treaty decided that land inside these boundaries — even though it is not now part of the city — will likely be annexed into the city, and the county won’t fight that annexation. Those boundaries now run along Whale Branch in the north, the Broad Riv-er in the west and south, and Chowan Creek on the east. These boundaries will keep St. Helena Island, Coosaw Island, Lobeco and Sheldon rural. But at the moment, Lady’s Island is completely within this boundary and likely to remain there. (There is a group on Lady’s Island that wants to move the existing growth boundary from Chowan Creek Bridge back to the Walmart in order to protect the eastern-most, low-lying part of Lady’s Island from further commercial development — but that horse may be out of the barn.)
I must confess that I didn’t come to this debate without blemish. Many years ago a de-veloper, Homer Hungerford, wanted to build a hotel at the Lady’s Island Marina. He needed sewer for his hotel and the county would not give it to him. So he went to the City of Beaufort and offered to petition for annexation if the city provided sewer. And so Homer, with my assistance, petitioned for annexation and got his annexation approved. There was a lawsuit over contiguity — the county arguing that Homer’s property wasn’t contiguous — but the county lost and the city of got its first foothold on Lady’s Island. David Taub and I still argue — and we drink our respective libations in other dark pubs — but we’ve moved from annexation to Mohammed Bin Salmon, Jeff Sessions, Judaism and women’s volleyball. But the annexation wars are over, the treaty honored, and Northern Beaufort County will have fields, forests and, perhaps, a farm or two. There is no such treaty in Southern Beaufort County and no guarantee that this landscape won’t be totally transfigured by the tsunami of retirees who have descended on Bluffton deter-mined to have their dock, their view, and their Black Friday big-box shopping experience.

THE GOLDEN GLOBE
Over the past six months, as we have all been enjoying our lives, going to work and school, watching television, and spending time with friends, a sailboat regatta has been going on. I only learned about this sailboat race one morning when I noticed my spouse fully engrossed as he watched an internet video. “What are you watching that is so interesting?,” I asked. “The Golden Globe,” he responded. “What?,” I asked. Now he and I do not watch any of those awards shows on television, so this was quite out of character for him. “Not the awards show,” he said. “It’s a sailboat regatta.” I had never heard about this race. Turns out The Golden Globe sailboat race is a 30,000-mile solo, non-stop, round-theworld sailboat race which began this year on
Now what?

Lee Scott, a writer and recent retiree, shares her everyday observations about life after career. A former commercial banker responsible for helping her clients to reach their business objectives, Scott now translates those analytical skills to her writings. She recently moved to St. Helena Island with her husband and two cocker spaniels. She enjoys boating, traveling and reading.
July 1 and is expected to take 9-10 months to complete. This year happens to be the 50th anniversary of the original race. There were 18 boats that started the race, and as of this writing there were only eight left. The boat in the lead is skippered by a 73-year-old Frenchman by the name of Jean-Luc van den Heede. He is about 1,500 miles ahead of the second- place contender. Of the eight remaining, the youngest is a 29-year-old British woman named Susie
Goodall. There are many challenges when you think about a long race alone. It is not just the loneliness, but the sheer energy, strength and stamina to go day after day after day. And food — how do you pack for over six months of food? As I sit here drinking my cappuccino and snacking on fresh berries, I cannot imagine the food they eat. Now these sailors are all very qualified racers. This is not your average weekend sailor.
They had to have many miles of experience in ocean racing and understand navigation along with a list of other qualifications. Also, electronic navigation is not permitted on the boats. That means, no computers, no iPads or iPhones – you get the idea. I can imagine that the stars and moon at night are spectacular and the sunrises and sunsets mesmerizing, but what about the days of ferocious storms or the other weather extreme — no wind. That is where the experience of these sailors gets tested. So, while you are enjoying a glass of wine in front of your fireplace and watching the latest Christmas special, know that somewhere in the southern ocean eight sailors are slowly working their way back home. And if you are interested, check out their website goldengloberace.com for more information. In the meantime, have a warm and restful night.
Wine-ing our way through the holidays This time of year most of us need more wine than usual. Extra stress. (Always my favorite excuse!) More dinners with friends, not even counting holiday dinners. More hostess gifts. Multiple presents for people where nothing but a bottle of wine will do. The list is long and gives us ample reason to
indulge in multiple wines — some new ones, and some old favorites. Let’s start with Hugel Gentil. This is a blend, “eidelswicker” if you like, from the Alsace region of France. It uses Riesling for elegance and minerality, Pinot Gris for body, Gewurtraminer for aromas, Muscat for fruit

and Sylvaner for refreshing elegance. The name "Gentil" translates as "nice," which totally describes this wine. Great with turkeys and hams. For $13.99. A new white is Outlot Chardonnay. From the Alexander Valley in Sonoma County, this is an exceptional Chardonnay. A combination of both California and French styles gives it appeal to many. Aromas and flavors include warm apple pie, baking spices like cloves and cardamon, flowers, honey, apples, peaches, pears, apricots, vanilla and butterscotch — all the result of California soil and climate and French oak barrels. All for only $15.97. Left Coast White Pinot Noir is also new. All the other Left Coast wines are great, and this one is no exception. White Pinot Noir wine is made from red grapes but with no skin contact, so almost no color but more body and weight than a typical white wine — and you can drink it chilled or at room temperature. Peaches, apricots, poached pears, honeydew melons, all finishing with a crisp minerality. For $19.99. A French rosé is a requirement on most wine lists. The Bertrands Elegance Rosé is from Provence and arrives in a particularly good-looking bottle. Always an added plus when the bottle is a gift. Elegance is clean, crisp and dry with a long mineral finish. In
blind taste tests it shines over many better-known rosés. For $19.99. For red wines, we can start with Hess Select Treo. From a Napa Valley icon, this red is a blend of 36 percent Petit Sirah, 28 percent Syrah, 18 percent Zinfandel, 9 percent Merlot, and 4 percent Cabernet Sauvignon. It is a rich, fairly big red with layers of dark red and black fruit flavors, a juicy Celia Strong texture and soft, plush tannins. Hard to not love it for $16.99. Finally, a Napa Cabernet, Terra Valentine Spring Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon. Spring Mountain vineyards are at higher elevations, so their weather is cooler, which means the grapes warm during the day and cool overnight, creating multiple levels of flavors and textures in their wines. This wine is bold and totally rewarding, like great friends. Maybe not an everyday wine, but one that’s sure to make any day or dinner as special as the recipient. For $54.99. This should give you a start on holiday wines. More to come — and bubbles, of course. Enjoy. Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island.
This time of year most of us need more wine than usual. Extra stress. (Always my favorite excuse!)

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 John- ongoing trend of heavier-than-usual early voting. son, and Sarah Stuchell — are running “Then again this is a very different election,” for the “Since we opened on Oct. 8, we’ve averaged open District 5 seat. she said. about 300 per day (in Beaufort),” Smalls Absentee voting has been brisk throughout said.
