So how bad was Hurricane Matthew? The eye of the storm was about 20 miles offshore at 6 a.m. Saturday. It was about 40 miles across, meaning that the strongest winds of this Category 2 hurricane were estimated at 105 mph.
Clearly, there was a lot of damage. However, it was mitigated by first responders and the community at large “thanks to our incredible firefighters, police officers and public works staff, who worked all shifts almost around the clock,” said Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling. “If you evacuated and then
returned to Beaufort, you would not think we had the storm we survived.” However, there are those who are still struggling. Hundreds of people stood in the hot See HURRICANE, page A12
Deer/car collisions prevalent in state South Carolina drivers are nearly 2.2 percent more likely to collide with a deer than they were last year, according to new claims data from State Farm. The odds drivers will hit a deer in the state of South Carolina are one out of 93 drivers, well above the national odds of one in 164. Using its claims data and state licensed driver counts from the
Federal Highway Administration, State Farm estimates the state-by-state chances of any single American motorist striking a deer, elk or moose. Here are some fact: • South Carolina is ranked 12th in the country for the most deer collisions. • The national cost per claim average is $3,995, down slightly

Police: Suspects in bank robbery identified
The Bluffton Police Department says it has identified two suspects involved in an Aug. 17 robbery at Palmetto State Bank. Bluffton investigators received numerous tips regarding the potential identification of the person(s) involved in the bank robbery. Some of those tips led investigators to 44-year-old Howard Bohannon and 28-yearold Tiffany Norris, both of Cookeville, Tenn. After questioning Norris, she confessed to waiting in a car down the street and driving Bohannon away minutes after the robbery, according to a report from the Bluffton Police Department. Norris is currently in the Chatham County (Ga.) jail on unrelated charges. Bohannon was recently arrested for several other bank robberies that he allegedly committed in Tennessee, the report states. Due to the multiple robberies occurring in various jurisdictions, the Bluffton Police Department Investigations Division is working with the Federal Bureau of Investigation on charges stemming from the bank robbery that occurred in Bluffton. To provide further information, call the Bluffton Police Department Crime Tip Line at 843-706-4560 or Sgt. Rutland at 843706-4598.

Public’s help is sought in cold case incident
The Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office is asking for the public’s help with solving a cold case. At about 10 p.m. on Oct. 5, 2011, Julius Chaplin, 44, was found dead in his driveway at 172 Fripp Point Road in St. Helena. Chaplin had left the house to go for a walk and shortly after gunshots were heard by witnesses. Chaplin was shot multiple times by an unknown suspect. A vehicle was heard speeding off after the shots were fired, but no witnesses were able to provide a description. A person of interest has been identified as Joe Washington, who was murdered the following day. A reward of up to $2,500 is being offered for information leading to an arrest in any Beaufort County cold case. During some criminal investigations, investigators might exhaust all credible leads in a case.

What affect will a Clinton or Trump presidency have on stocks?
er
er
s
Ov 00
1
At a seminar we gave in August in North Carolina to a group of investors, the question on what affect a Clinton or Trump presidency could have on stocks was asked by a participant. My first response was that to date both of their policies are too vague to make any logical type of determination. As with each U.S. presidential election, there is a lot of uncertainty about what the outcome will be and how it will affect the market. This question comes up every four years. But when you explore it all, it appears to contain a lot of contradictions. Here are a couple of examples: A global chief investment strategist for BlackRock said, “Over the past century, which party occupies the White House has no discernible or consistent impact on the U.S. equity markets.” In contrast, T. Rowe Price says, “Presidential election years generally have coincided with favorable markets, particularly when the incumbent party wins.” So there you have it. It is a clear as mud. However, history does show us that when the U.S. government implements policies that change from the existing ones, that sometimes those very changes can create opportunities for retail investors. These types of items are typically referred to as “geopolitical events.” It seems just about each quarter or year that investors are faced with uncertainty and difficult times, which play havoc on the stock market. For example, in August 2015 the Shanghai Composite (China) fell 11.5 percent and for the same period the Dow Jones sank more than 1,000 points in a week, which was the worst five day event since 2011 as reported by CNN. Even though neither occurred due to changes in the United States, each had an impact on our stock market just the same.
Both events were created due to some type of “geopolitical event.” Therefore, a “geopolitical event” can occur if the event is a domestic or foreign born. At Port Wren Capital, Michael Osteen LLC we look for information relative to undervalued companies with the potential of above-average gains over the long-term. Therefore, we found that when certain “geopolitical events” do impact the market that may offer the retail value investor an entry point into the market. To that end, we noticed due to the “financial crisis” of 2007-2009, the federal government made changes to the monetary and fiscal policies to lessen the shock to the economy. This change in policy created an unpredictable “geopolitical event” that impacted the financial service sector. Thus, we conducted our own independent security research back in 2013 and found and bought shares of a company in the financial services sector and later sold them in 2016 with an average realized gain of 36.4 percent. In summary, it’s not which presidential candidate gets elected. In my opinion, there is no correlation to the person sitting in the White House to the U.S. stock market. Wait to see if a “geopolitical event” occurs as a result of a policy change that has an impact on the stock market.

Farm Bureau women hold annual meeting
More than 80 women from 26 counties across the state gathered in Florence from Sept. 26-27 for South Carolina Farm Bureau’s (SCFB) annual Women’s Leadership Conference. Beaufort County residents Beverly Brown, Laura Hansen, Cindy Keener, Sandra Simmons, Ann Ackerman and Hope Cappelmann were among the group of women who experienced the “Magic of the Southern Heritage in the Pee Dee” as they took part in workshops that addressed local agriculture, personal development, and tools that they can use to promote agriculture in their counties. The conference concluded with a tour of the area, including Kalmia Gardens, Darlington Raceway and Wynona Place Plantation. SCFB President Harry Ott said: “We are thankful to have such dedicated women in Farm Bureau. Without their enthusiasm and commitment, SCFB would not be able to have the far-reaching influence it has. So far this year, these women have put in more than 3,500 hours of purpose activities around the state. We are extremely proud of their accomplishments.” “SCFB women work hard to educate both students and consumers about South Carolina’s No. 1 industry – agribusiness,” said Ag Literacy and Women’s Program Director Vonne Knight. “Their knowledge of and interest in family farms contributes much to the organization, as they work for the future success of agriculture in our state.”

Dividend-paying stocks: A staple for your portfolio No matter your age or your approach to investing, there is one kind of investment that may be considered for your portfolio: dividend-paying stocks. That’s the opinion of Scott Wren, managing director and Senior Global Equity Strategist for Wells Fargo Investment Institute. While hardly the sexiest of investment choices, Wren says dividend-paying stocks may offer a difficult-to-beat combination — good quality and a history of typically lower volatility than the overall market. He likens this kind of investment to the slower competitor in the classic fable of the tortoise and the hare. The tortoise is not flashy or speedy, but over the long haul, he runs a steady and rewarding race. Wren cites an impressive number in this regard. “During the past 80 years, about half of the market’s growth, as measured by the S&P 500®, has come from dividend-paying stocks.” The essentials Some investors equate dividend-paying stocks with “bluechip” stocks, but Wren is quick to point out that these terms are not interchangeable. While there are some longstanding, bellwether firms that
pay dividends, such as AT&T and Johnson & Johnson, any number of large, high-profile social media and tech companies Whitney pay no diviMcDaniel dends. They might be regarded as blue chip based on performance and growth potential, but they are not dividend-paying stocks. Wren likens the presence of these stocks in your portfolio to breakfast items in your pantry. In the morning, you see staples such as name-brand coffee, cereals and other breakfast foods, and you know the essentials are there. The quality is what you depend on, and you never have to think twice before starting your day right. Not long ago, however, these stocks drew little interest and almost no enthusiasm. “From 1995 to the early 2000s, they fell out of favor while the focus was on the tech boom,” says Wren. After that boom went bust, many investors were risk-averse. But with traditional conservative investment vehicles such as CDs (Time Accounts) yielding
miniscule returns, investors started looking again at dividendpaying stocks. Wren notes that 5-percent CD yields are not likely coming back any time soon, so the trend is likely to continue. It’s important to note that CDs may offer guarantees and insurance that are not available in stock investing. Investing in dividend-paying stocks involves the possible risk of principal. The benefits While younger investors typically may be better served by looking for greater growth at higher risk, Wren says, they also should consider having some dividend-paying stocks in their portfolio. The steady growth may have a payoff over time, especially if dividends are immediately reinvested in additional shares. For those approaching or in retirement, the scenario is a little different, and the importance of having this type of asset in your portfolio may be greater. There’s another quality, sometimes overlooked, of many dividend-paying stocks. A large number of corporations that pay dividends have significant interest and investment in emerging and global markets, which gives you additional exposure to that potential growth as well as the
risk of these economies. Wren says that the populace’s aspirations to reach the middle class in many countries translates to the production of commodities such as better hygiene products, higher-quality food, more modern appliances, and other goods that enable a healthier and more productive lifestyle. “Many of the name-brand, dividend-paying corporations consistently produce these kinds of goods,” notes Wren. The drawback He cautions, however, that any investor needs to understand that when interest rates rise, the returns of dividend-paying stocks could take a hit. And when the market experiences a big boom, these types of stocks do not always match the growth rate of other stock types. These are all reasons why it’s important to maintain balance in your portfolio. Additional resources Even if you’re aggressively seeking growth, it’s important to hold some assets that may provide the potential for consistency. All investing involves risk including the possible loss of principal. There is no assurance any investment strategy will be successful. There is no guarantee that div-
idend-paying stocks will return more than the overall stock market. Dividends are not guaranteed and are subject to change or elimination. Generally, CDs may not be withdrawn prior to maturity. CDs are FDIC insured up to $250,000 per depositor per insured depository institution for each account ownership category. CDs may be issued by out-of-state institutions. U.S. based corporations that have significant exposure to foreign and emerging economies may have their earnings impacted by factors such as currency fluctuation, political and economic instability, as well as different accounting rules for operations within those countries that other U.S. companies may not be subject to which can lead to additional price volatility.

HEALTH
Hearing loss, hearing aids and case for medical necessity By Monica Wiser
Just about every day, I have to break the news to my patients that their insurance company does not cover hearing aids. They are deemed “medically unnecessary” by Medicare and many other insurers. It is a slap in the face to the 48 million Americans who suffer from hearing loss. According to the American Speech-Language Hearing Association, 90 percent of those cases cannot be treated with medication or simple surgery. Insurance companies may believe that they are saving money by exempting hearing aids from coverage, but the cost of not treating hearing loss is far greater. Untreated hearing loss has been linked to several health conditions that insurance companies do end up covering. The following medical conditions have been linked to untreated hearing loss. Increased risk of dementia John Hopkins University recently published a longitudinal study that revealed that people with hearing loss are up to five times as likely to develop dementia if the loss goes untreated. Several other such studies have confirmed this finding (Brandeis University, University of Pennsylvania and Washington University in St. Louis). There are several theories as to why this occurs: increased cognitive load, social isolation and atrophy of the region of the brain that not only processes speech, but processes memory. The cost to society to treat dementia is estimated to be up to $215 billion annually when the cost of home health care and assisted living are taken into account. It is more costly to the nation than treating heart disease or cancer (RAND study). The cost to the patient and their family members is far greater. Increased risk of fall People with untreated hearing loss are three times as likely to suffer from injury-causing falls. The average hospital cost for a fall injury is $35,000. According to
the CDC, falls are the leading cause of injury death for Americans 65 years and older. Non-fatal falls are estimated to cost $34 billion in direct medical costs. Increased hospitalizations Hospitalizations increase by 32 percent. These hospitalizations are not only due to falls, but to lack of awareness of surroundings, leading to car accidents, workplace accidents and pedestrian accidents. The cost of these hospitalizations cannot be accounted for due to the various conditions that may be diagnosed during hospitalization. Depression, anxiety, stress The economic burden of depression, including workplace costs, direct costs and suicide-related costs, was estimated to be $210.5 billion in 2010. Anxiety disorders cost the U.S. more than $42 billion a year, according to "The Economic Burden of Anxiety Disorders," a study commissioned by ADAA. Additionally, it is estimated that treating work-related stress alone costs $300 billion. (University of Massachusetts Lowell.) Stress outside of the workplace was not calculated in this figure. These health conditions are costing the nation well over $800 billion annually. While hearing loss does not contribute to every case of dementia, falls, hospitalizations, depression, anxiety and stress, a significant portion of that figure can be reduced by treating hearing loss. The real cost of not treating hearing loss, however, cannot be measured in cold, hard figures. The cost to society of the unrealized potential of people with hearing loss is immeasurable. It is time for the healthcare industry to reexamine the medical necessity for treating hearing loss with hearing aids. Monica Wiser, M.A. CCC-A is an audiologist in private practice at Beaufort Audiology & Hearing Care on Lady’s Island. She has over 20 years of experience in the field and has worn hearing aids since childhood.

BMH is winner of 3 zero harm awards
Beaufort Memorial swept the South Carolina Hospital Association (SCHA) 2016 Certified Zero Harm Awards, winning three awards and special recognition for preventing post-surgery infections. The 197-bed hospital was one of only two healthcare facilities in South Carolina to report no hospital-acquired infections for 42 consecutive months in two of five categories. BMH also earned special recognition in two categories — more than any other hospital in the state — for performing the highest number of infection-free abdominal hysterectomies and colon surgeries. “For decades we thought zero harm was impossible, but every day we learn that if we align our efforts we can achieve it, and we’re committed to pursuing it relentlessly,” said BMH Chief Medical Officer Dr. Kurt Gambla. SCHA created the Zero Harm Awards program in 2013 to recognize hospitals that have taken great strides to improve quality of care and patient safety, specifically the elimination of bloodstream and post-surgery infections.

Bluffton Jasper VIM offering diabetes program
Bluffton Jasper Volunteers in Medicine (BJVIM) has been chosen to partner with the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) in a diabetes
telemonitoring program. The program has been piloted by MUSC in the Charleston area with great success, and BJVIM is one of the first free clinics chosen in the state to implement the program outside of this area. The program will enable BJVIM to provide more effective diabetes management by helping patients achieve and maintain blood sugar and blood pressure goals, no matter where they live, whether they are housebound or have limited transportation. Because patients will be consistently monitored, there will be reduced risk of the development of complications from diabetes. The telemonitoring program uses a device which is given to the patient and is plugged in to either their home phone line or Internet connection. The patient is asked to use the monitor on a daily basis to measure blood pressure and blood sugar. The readings are then automatically sent to a database, giving the patient’s care provider immediate results. It will also send a notification if any of the readings are out of the range set by the patient’s physician. Based on the readings from the device, an AAMC nurse will guide the patient in making appropriate medication adjustments and lifestyle behavioral changes. BJVIM will receive up to 500 monitors from MUSC that will be given to patients free of charge along with a 12-month supply of test strips. Patients must be at least 18 years of age, have an A1c of 8 or greater and be a current patient of Bluffton Jasper VIM.
Youth alliance hosting community forum
The Lowcountry Alliance for Healthy Youth (LCAHY) is hosting a Community Forum from 6-8 p.m. Monday, Nov. 14, at Bluffton High School. There will be three guest speakers to address different aspects of youth in relation to alcohol and marijuana. The forum will also highlight some of the area’s local high school youth who will speak to how they feel the community can help them lead healthier lives. The experts include: • Dr. Lindsay Squeglia, of MUSC, who will discuss the effects of alcohol and marijuana on teen brain development; • Dr. Wendy Bell, of the SC Law Enforcement Division, who will discuss medical marijuana myths; • Michelle Nienhius, of the SC Department of Alcohol & Drug Abuse, who will provide an overview of the South Carolina student drug survey. “The purpose of this forum is to engage the public, but more importantly, to increase awareness our youth face regarding use and substance abuse. We want the public to know what they can do to provide a healthier environment for our teens. The youth are our future, so making sure they see a future, should be the primary focus of everyone living and working in this community,” said Wendy Cummings, president of the LCAHY executive board.

Michels earns board Certification from CMPE
Mandy Michels, Lady’s Island Internal
Medicine practice manager, has earned the professional designation of Certified Medical Practice Executive (CMPE). She is the first Beaufort Memorial Physician Partners manager to achieve this prestigious certification. To earn the credential from the American College of Medical Practice Executives, Michels had to pass rigorous essay and objective examinations that assess knowledge of the broad scope of group management principles and practices, from business operations and patient Mandy Michels care systems to financial, human resources and risk and compliance management.

Retina specialist to speak at Sun City Hilton Head
Dr. Peter Liggett, a retina specialist on Hilton Head, will conduct an educational seminar, “What You Need to Know About Macular Degeneration,” at 10 a.m. Monday, Nov. 14, in the Colleton River Room at Sun City Hilton Head. This event is open to Sun City Hilton Head residents only. RSVP by Nov. 10 at hhmr.org/suncity or by calling 843-415-3490. Macular degeneration is caused by the deterioration of the central portion of the retina, the inside back layer of the eye that records the images we see and sends them via the optic nerve from the eye to the brain. The retina’s central portion, known as the macula, is responsible for focusing central vision in the eye. The macula controls our ability to read, drive a car, recognize faces or colors, and see objects in fine detail. As people age, their chances for developing eye diseases increase dramatically. Liggett is a leader in the evaluation and treatment of macular and retinal diseases. Liggett has been a clinical professor of ophthalmology at Yale School of Medicine and Weill Cornell College of Medicine. He founded New England Retina Associates, which had six retina specialists and more than 10,000 patient visits per year. He has written more than 75 articles in peer-reviewed journals and edited four major textbooks on diseases of the macula and retina. He is an examiner for the American Board of Ophthalmology, which certifies doctors to practice in ophthalmology. For more information, call 843-422-9987 or visit www.hhmr.org.

Demand high throughout Beaufort County By Janet Gresham
As anticipated at the outset of the year, demand has remained high through the first three quarters of 2016 in Beaufort County, propping up sales and prices despite heavy reductions in inventory and months of supply across the country.
With rental prices and employment opportunities in a consistent climb, year-over-year increases in home buying are probable for the rest of the year but not guaranteed. New Listings were down 8.8 percent to 207. Pending Sales decreased 0.6 percent to 155.
Inventory shrank 4.3 percent to 1,057 units. Prices moved higher as Median Sales Price was up 18.8 percent to $200,127. Days on Market decreased 10.9 percent to 82 days. Months Supply of Inventory was down 12.3 percent to 5.7 months, indicating that demand increased
relative to supply. In general, today's demand is driven by three factors: Millennials are reaching prime home-buying age, growing families are looking for larger homes and empty nesters are downsizing. However, intriguingly low interest rates often prompt refinancing instead of
listing, contributing to lower inventory. Recent studies have also shown that short-term rentals are keeping a collection of homes off the market. Janet Gresham is the CEO of the Beaufort County Association of REALTORS and the Beaufort Multiple Listing Service, Inc.
Price points impact number of homes sold By Everett Ballenger
Last month we looked at the various price brackets in which homes were selling (or not in some cases) in the five areas (Beaufort, Port Royal, Moss Oaks, Lady’s Island and Burton) which we monitor. It was interesting but not surprising to see the difference in sales numbers the further up the price scale. This month I thought it might be of interest to look, by price bracket, at the number of homes sold in the last 12 months in the same five areas and using a single date in September, compare the inventory on that date and a similar date the previous year. As to the question of inventory, based on the data in the chart, the number of houses available in the areas we monitor is decreasing between 10 percent and 13 percent every 12 months. This decrease is primarily occurring in homes priced under $500,000. The number of homes in the over $500,000 price range is actually showing a slight increase. The number of overall sales occurring in the same area over the last 12 months has increased by almost 8 percent. Readers of the LIBPA newsletter each month, and those who follow real estate in general, will know that sales have increased over the last two to three years. They are also familiar with the fact that following the real estate and financial collapse starting in 2006, homebuilders drastically reduced the number of new homes under construction. So the increasing decline in the number of available
homes for sale should not be a surprise. There is a stark difference when comparing the time to sell a home in the $100,000 to $199,000 range (1.86 months) to homes over $1 million (58.53 months). One would except property under $100,000 would sell the fastest, but that range took 1.96 months on average to sell. This slight increase may be due to the lack of inventory in the “up to $99,000.” At 3.3 months, the $200,000 to $299,000 range is also a very short time frame. The “normal” national inventory is around five months’ worth of homes for sale. Step up to the next price range of $300,000-
$399,999 and we see a huge difference in monthly inventory (eight months’ worth). This increases the further up the price range we go, to the ($1 million and up) with 58.5 months of inventory available on Sept. 16. This difference in monthly inventories should not be that surprising, as there are a lot less buyers the further up the scale we go. Finally, the question of where is the sweet spot in today’s local real estate market is best answered by the fact that 82 percent of all of the homes sold in the last 12 months in the five areas we monitor were in the $400,000 and under range. When considering selling

The event was hosted by the Community Bowling Center. Also on hand were volunteers from Walmart who provided transportation, and Food Lion, which donated $30,000 worth of $20 gift cards. Damage assessment Beaufort County’s initial assessment identified 1,888 structures with damage, 96 of those with major damage and a preliminary estimate of damage $$51.6 million. Although approximately 11 caskets had to be recovered and prepared for reburial, there were no reported deaths. On Oct. 17, the county began a more detailed "phase 2" assessment of major damage structures for purposes of "red tagging" them habitable or not and refining damage cost. Individual assistance for repairs to homes, vehicles or personal property are eligible to apply for FEMA assistance. Disaster assistance may include grants to help pay for rent, home repairs to primary residences, uninsured and underinsured personal property losses, and medical, dental and childcare expenses caused by the disaster. There are a number of ways survivors may apply for FEMA assistance: online at DisasterAssistance.gov; through the FEMA Mobile App at fema.gov/mobile-app; or by calling 800-621-3362. City of Beaufort damages In phase 1 of its damage assessment, the city of Beaufort identified a total 148 properties; eight of which had major damage. Residences and businesses (building) that sustained damage due to the storm, and who have not received a green, yellow or red placard should contact 843-525-7049 or mmcteer@cityofbeaufort.org and provide us the address of the property. Structures sustaining only minor damage will be given a green placard indicating repairs can start immediately and that no permit is needed. Structures sustaining moderate or major damage will be given a yellow or red placard. A permit will be required to repair structures receiving a yellow or red placard. No fees will be charged for permits to repair storm damage if the permit application is submitted before Dec. 31. Utilities Brad Samuels with SCE&G reported that as of Oct. 16, 57 customers remained without power, mostly on Daufuskie Island and the St. Helena Island area. Palmetto Electric has restored power to most customers. A few scattered customers who have to have repairs made to their property are the only ones who remain without power. BJWSA reports that all treatment facilities and pump stations have power. Debris management The county’s recovery efforts are well underway to remove storm-generated debris. All public roads are now passable and crews are addressing "leaners" and "hangers" this week. Debris removal began Oct. 17, with the first of three planned passes of public roads.

And here are some deer facts that all drivers should know: • Deer are on all roads. • Deer are unpredictable. • Deer often move in groups.
• Deer movement is most prevalent in the fall. “There is an increased risk of a collision with deer around dawn and dusk, and also during the fall breeding season,” said State Farm spokesman Roszell Gadson. “We encourage drivers to be aware and on the lookout at all times, because you never know when you may need to react to a deer or other obstacle that may unexpectedly be in your path.”

Chamber musis is rare find in Lowcountry For discriminating listeners in heavily populated spots around the world, chamber music offers refinement, economy of resources and flawless acoustical balance produced by a small number, usually between two and eight, of instruments in intimate conversation with one another. The music demands exact precision of the artist and careful concentration of the audience. Over the years these demands have resulted in the finest and greatest number of chamber music performances taking place in large metropolitan areas. Thus, it is rather singular to find internationally recognized musicians playing the world’s finest chamber compositions in a town of 12,000 in rural South Carolina, but that is exactly what residents and visitors have been discovering for the past 37 years in Beaufort. From its founding in 1979 by USCB art history professor Mary Whisonant, the USCB Festival Series has presented internationally renowned artists such as pianists Jean-Yves Thibaudet and Richard Goode; violinists Joshua Bell and Bobby McDuffie; flautist Paula Robison; cellist Carter Bray; and the Emerson, Tokyo and St. Lawrence String Quartets playing Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Ravel, Dvořák and many others. For several of the early years, performances were held at area banks and churches. In 1983, with the growth of membership and the opening of the USCB Performing Arts Center, the venue was moved to the present USCB Arts Center. After Whisonant’s retirement, Beaufortonian Harriet Keyserling prevailed upon the legendary Charles Wadsworth to assume directorship and bring to Beaufort the chamber music riches he had unearthed for New York’s Lincoln Center and Charleston’s Spoleto. At that time, Wadsworth had been entertaining audiences by providing informative and lively introductions of artists and compositions and his own inimitable style at the piano for over 30 years. A world-class raconteur as well as musician, he was a favorite with audiences across the U.S. and Europe. In fact, he has been credited by some with saving the art form of chamber music from extinction. During his two-decade tenure in Beaufort, he drew many new fans to the USCB Festival Series, and when he announced his retirement just as he was turning 80 in 2008, the Art Center was standing-room only. It was a memorable and bittersweet evening with a very large cake, many candles, enthusiastic audience participation, the presentation of a personalized

parking meter with lifetime free parking from Mayor Keyserling, Wadsworth’s usual wit and most importantly, wonderful music played by exceptional artists. At the end, the master expressed his great appreciation for 19 grand years and his feelings of regret on closing the curtain on 50 years of grand music, “It’s very tough to say good-bye. I plan to cry a lot.” During his directorship, local audiences became accustomed to inventive programming and the very best young talent the world had to offer. The Lowcountry was once again blessed beyond what one would expect in this out-of theway spot. For 30 years the quality of the music and the talents of the artists had surprised and delighted audiences who were drawn to the region by the beauty of the creeks and marshes, little expecting to find Bach, Beethoven and Haydn hiding in the bulrushes. The really good news is that the delight has continued under the leadership of Edward Arron, the
2016 Series artistic director, host and cellist. Arron spent two years assisting Wadsworth with the USCB Series, getting to know the Lowcountry audience and allowing the audience to enjoy his artistry and his thoughtful commentary and to appreciate his connectivity to the most significant young artists playing and composing chamber music at this time. As one of those significant young artists himself and as the artistic director for the Metropolitan Museum’s Artists in Concert Series for 10 seasons, he is uniquely qualified to ensure the continued standard of the Festival Series. For the upcoming season, he has tapped a deep vein of talent to bring audiences carefully constructed programs, blending works from the Baroque to the present. The oldest piece was composed 230 years ago; the youngest was written last summer. Each concert is anchored by Edward Arron and features a different set of performers in a variety of instrumental combinations playing music

from the sublime to the explosive. Consider that the series began when USCB was a poorly funded, two-year branch campus of USC, and Whisonant was not only the artistic director, but also the ticket seller, airport taxi, caterer and donor seeker. And that there was a time when cutting back on Wadsworth’s concerts in favor of less “pure” forms of musical performances was threatening the continuation of the series as we know it, we can all be proud that this community still has music, artists and audiences coming five times each year that make us the cultural envy of much larger,
much wealthier, and much less fortunate towns and cities. Once again on five Sunday afternoons, Lowcountry residents can take a walk or short drive to the USCB Center for the Arts, sit in what will soon be the newly renovated auditorium, enjoy the very fine acoustics the venue provides and escape from the stresses and cacophony of 21st century living while listening to an intimate and lively conversation of extraordinarily talented artists playing brilliant and intricate pieces on their finely tuned instruments.

Beaufort school staff help families affected by storm
Beaufort Elementary School’s teachers and staff organized an effort to get food to students and families in downtown Beaufort who were affected by Hurricane Matthew. Principal Melissa Holland said that school staff had used their personal vehicles to ferry MREs and water from county distribution points to apartment complexes where many families of Beaufort Elementary School live. Those families had no power in their apartments and no transportation to purchase food. In addition, St. Helena Episcopal Church prepared hot meals that were distributed tonight at Parkview Apartments by Beaufort Elementary staff. After finishing up at Parkview Apartments, the Beaufort Elementary folks moved over to the school’s parking lot sev-
eral blocks away and met a Red Cross truck, and there they distributed about 300 hot meals to people who passed by in their cars. “I’m so proud of our staff,” Holland said. “The way they put everything together and got it done was amazing. They were just awesome.”

United Way of the Lowcountry's Early Grade Reading Program, Read Indeed, is a K-3 reading tutor program, designed to help students read on grade level by the time they enter fourth grade. United Way of the Lowcountry started the Early Grade Reading Program in 2012 and has expanded it over the years. With the help of 200-300 volunteers and AmeriCorps members, Read Indeed helps hundreds of students in nine schools throughout Beaufort and Jasper counties. United Way partners with the Beaufort County School District, Jasper County School District, University of South Carolina Beaufort, AmeriCorps, as well as a
number of public-private partnerships and foundations for the Read Indeed Program. "By awarding these grants, the Dollar General Literacy Foundation is committed to making a meaningful impact in our local communities," said Todd Vasos, Dollar General's chief executive officer. "These grants provide funds to support youth literacy initiatives and educational programs throughout the communities we serve to ensure a successful academic year for students." Committed to helping increase the literacy skills of individuals of all ages, the Dollar General Literacy Foundation has awarded more than $127 million in grants to nonprofit organizations, helping nearly 7.9 million individuals take their first steps toward literacy or continued education since its inception in 1993.

Free workshops offered on financial aid
The Beaufort County School District is sponsoring a pair of free workshops for parents on how to help finance their children’s college educations. The primary target audience is parents of high school seniors and juniors. About 300 parents attended last year’s sessions. The first workshop will be held from 6-7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 24, in Bluffton High School’s Performing Arts Center. An identical workshop will be held from 6-7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 25, at Beaufort High School’s Performing Arts Center. Presenters will include representatives from the South Carolina Commission on Higher Education, the South Carolina Tuition Grants Commission, the University of South Carolina at Beaufort, the Technical College of the Lowcountry, South Carolina Independent Colleges and Universities, Scholarships for Military Families, the Community Foundation of the Lowcountry and Vocational Rehabilitation, Scholarships and Grants. Presenters will cover the basics of applying for financial aid, including FAFSA and the CSS Profile. Information also will be presented on local, state and national grants, loans and scholarship opportunities.
District students outperform state averages
Beaufort County School District high school students outperformed their peers from across South Carolina on two key statewide exams during the 2015-16 school year, according to data released recently by the South Carolina Department of Education. The data released covered two exams that all South Carolina 11th-graders are required to take: the ACT college entrance exam and
the WorkKeys exam that allows students to earn “portable certificates” that can be used to qualify for jobs. The 2016 scores marked the second year of data for both exams. “It’s encouraging to see our students again score above the state average, but we still have a lot of work to do,” said Superintendent Jeff Moss. “We want our students to be among South Carolina’s top performers and among the nation’s top performers. We also want to maintain the district’s positive momentum in student achievement. Our students and educators are working hard to do that.” In the second year of South Carolina’s required statewide administration of ACT college entrance exams to all 11th-graders, Beaufort County students improved their overall scores and outperformed their peers from across the state. District 11th-graders exceeded state averages in four of five subject areas measured by the ACT and tied in the fifth. District 11th-graders’ ACT average composite score was 18.3 compared to the state average of 18.2. Beaufort County 11th-graders’ composite score ranked them 17th among South Carolina’s 82 school districts. Comparing 2016 scoring with 2015’s first year of required testing for all 11th-graders, Beaufort County students improved their average score from 18.2 to 18.3. South Carolina requires all 11th-graders to take WorkKeys exams each spring, and students who post qualifying scores earn “portable” certificates at the Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum levels that can be used to qualify for good-paying jobs anywhere in the nation. Increasing numbers of businesses require job applicants to have WorkKeys certificates. Among Beaufort County 11th-graders, 87.6 percent scored high enough to earn a certificate, compared to 86.8 percent of 11th-graders statewide. That marked a slight decrease from the first year of WorkKeys testing, which saw 90.2 percent of district 11th-graders score high enough to earn a certificate compared to 87.9 percent statewide.

Aunt Pearlie Sue invited to U.N.
O G . E R E H ANYW
R E F S N A TR S M A R PROG Beaufort’s beloved singer and storyteller, Anita Singleton-Prather, will perform at United Nations headquarters this month in New York City. Singleton-Prather was invited to appear as her popular persona, Aunt Pearlie Sue, as part of the U.N.’s historic launching of UNSONG, a project to promote inclusion, recognition and contributions of people of African descent. It is intended to bring further attention to the U.N. General Assembly’s goals in promoting the International Decade for People of African Descent and its 2030 agenda on promoting equality and inclusion. Speakers will highlight how a collective effort, political will and cultural investments are imperative for ending all forms of racial barriers. Speakers include CNN commentator Angela Rye, National Public Radio’s political analyst, Dr. Blakely, Queen Mother of Harlem, and others. Singleton-Prather will sing and tell a story to the audience of representatives from around the world. “I am sincerely honored and humbled to be selected for this meaningful project,” she said. “It is so necessary in these times of tension and strife to promote inclusion and respect for people of African descent in Amer-
ica and throughout all nations. Whatever our color, we are all God’s children.” This invitation comes at a time when Singleton-Prather faces loss of her old family home in Beaufort due to her inability to pay off a high-interest loan to Green Tree Mortgage. The loan was for necessary renovations in the 100-year-old house to make is safe and habitable for Singleton-Prather and her young grandchildren. Neighbors and friends have been raising money to help raise the required $39,000 to pay off the loan. Parties, fish fries, car washes and bake sales were organized. Additionally, the Penn Center honored Singleton-Prather this year for her good works and a dinner was held there recently to help raise funds. In addition to performing, Singleton-Prather is also an historian and ordained minister. She has dedicated her work to helping others, lifting the self-esteem of black children, preserving Gullah history and advancing the artistic and cultural accomplishments of the Gullah people.

Friends of Spanish Moss Trail to unveil markers The Friends of the Spanish Moss Trail (FSMT) will host a community event at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 27 at the Depot Trailhead to celebrate the unveiling of the first seven historic markers that will be installed along the Spanish Moss Trail. The markers were made possible by the FSMT leadership and generous funds from Beaufort 300 and the Beaufort County accommodations tax. These markers are the first of more than 50 points of interest and history that have been identified by historians and community members serving on a FSMT-led Historic Sign Committee. This committee’s 18-month long research uncovered much of the 14-mile linear path’s rich history – including the Magnolia Line, Civil War, Mather School and the phosphate industry. “Were it not for the burning desire of those who serve on this committee, to dis-
cover the past in order to preserve it for the future, it would not be possible to erect historical markers of this nature,” said Frank Emminger, FSMT board member and chair of the Historic Sign Committee. The FSMT also recently announced the opening of an additional 2.5 miles of the Spanish Moss Trail – from Roseida Road to Poppy Hill Road – bringing the Lowcountry a fully-connected, 9-mile trail that provides a seamless route from Port Royal to the communities north of the Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS). In the last year, an estimated 36,500 people explored the trail by bike or on foot. This rails-to-trail greenway is now one of the recreational centerpieces for Northern Beaufort County with an 18-mile round trip experience for residents and visitors to the area. Its 10-Phase Master Plan, which when complete, will be a 14-mile long, 12-foot
wide, paved trail dedicated to pedestrians and bicyclists. Public parking is located along the trail with rest area trailheads at
Westvine Drive, Broome Lane, Depot Road, Beaufort Plaza Shopping Center and Roseida Road.

VOICES
Matthew puts J&L Landscaping Company to work When we moved here to our pine forest home, we had not planned on hiring the J&L Landscaping Company. However, after a couple of windy days when the pine needles showered down on our lawn, we started to consider it. Then we lived through a few strong thunderstorms and that sealed the deal. We found an exclusive company willing to take care of one property: ours. This company is extremely reliable. Normally, they show up early on Monday mornings and proceed to blow the pine needles into piles, mow the lawn, trim the bushes and weed the garden. They even clear all the leaves off the porch and walkways. The company has been known to take several truckloads of old dead tree limbs to the convenience center after a particularly bad storm. There have been those times when
Now what?
they have not shown up on a rainy Monday morning, but ultimately they return on the next nice day. And occasionally, if a heavy storm has come through mid-week, they show up. They always seem to get the job done and work for little money. After finding J&L Landscaping, we discovered that we needed the LSS home cleaning service, the JDS boat maintenance company,
the JL laundry service and of course the Scott construction company, which has completed numerous jobs including room painting and varnishing floors around the house. If you have not guessed yet, all of these phantom companies are run by one or two people: me and my spouse. We do hire other contractors. We have had electricians, plumbers and
HVAC companies do work around our home. But when we know we can do the job, we just do it. Of course, it is also one of the problems living with someone who just cannot relax. There must be something in our DNA that makes us both somewhat hyper-active. Or it could be just the way we were brought up to rely on ourselves to get things done. We joke about feeling guilty sitting on the couch. “Shouldn’t we be doing something?” we ask ourselves. Even a fortune cookie that said “Take the day off ” was ignored as we got out our rakes. Ultimately, we will shut down all the companies and start hiring others. But in the meantime, thanks to Matthew, J&L Landscaping is up and running and working full time.
expenses which do not have any impact on the enrollment growth problem. These are “nice to have” items that add many millions of dollars to the total tab. I’m also leery of a 10-year projection of growth because I think the validity drops significantly as you go beyond four or five years. It would be better to have a series of two- or three-year plans that allow timely verification of assumptions underlying the projections and allow adjustment based on actual growth data. As a note, the lead time needed for a new school is about two years. If we were a business, I’m fairly certain we’d go with this short interval approach because the closer you are to your data, the more efficient you can be with your dollars. The financing tool: I’ve spent a good amount of time trying to determine if this proposal is the best alternative for the voters of Beaufort County and I can’t see that it is. There is a projected reduction in school debt tax for all property owners but twothirds of that goes to non-resident property owners (6-percenters.) This is due to the
values and assessments of properties. The same ratio applies to a traditional referendum, 4 percenters pay about one third of the total. Full-time residents will pay a lot more than one-third of the sales tax. Renters, of course, will really get slammed because they pay the 6 percent in their rent and they will be paying sales tax. It’s difficult to imagine their landlords will pass on the tax reduction by reducing rents. Another “selling point” often mentioned is that it is estimated non-residents will pay about one-third of the sales tax. That equates to about $104 million of the total estimated collection over 10 years. The flip side of that is that residents will pay the balance, $208 million. Compared to paying one-third of a traditional referendum, which is what 4-percenters pay, this doesn’t seem like a good trade-off. One-third of the proposed need, with the fluff projects included, would only be about $72 million. Property taxes are also tax deductible, which lowers the out-of-pocket expense. So if you itemize, that $72 million
is lowered by your tax bracket. The school debt tax reduction, estimated at 42 percent, sounds very attractive, but it actually amounts to an estimated total of $75.6 million over the 10 years. For voters in Beaufort County it doesn’t look like a good deal to pay $132.4 million instead of less than $72 million. Of course, individual buying habits will determine what the equation is for each voter, but the money has to come from someone’s pocket and, in total, it doesn’t look good for residents and it looks terrible for renters. It does look like a really good deal for non-resident property owners who get the tax reduction but don’t contribute much to the sales tax. We need to deal with enrollment growth. If that requires a tax, I’d vote for one that focuses on the problem, is efficient and is the least expensive for the voters. I didn’t vote yes on the current proposal because I don’t think it meets these criteria. David Striebinger represents District 2 on the Beaufort County School District board of education.

School tax proposal doesn’t add up By David Striebinger
At several school board meetings I have voted against the proposed sales tax for the school district. People have asked me why and there’s a long version and a short version of my answer. Here’s the short version: I am generally uncomfortable with the amount of due diligence the board has exercised on this and I’m uncomfortable with a 10-year obligation. I also don’t think we adequately explored alternatives. My prime issues with the proposal, however, are focused on the legitimacy of the need and the financing tool (sales tax). The need: There is little doubt we are a fast growing county, especially south of the Broad, and we are going to have to figure out how to accommodate the increased population in our schools. When I look at the project list, however, I see too many projects which don’t address that need. Expanded gymnasiums in north of the Broad schools, concession stands at middle school athletic fields and expanded performing arts centers are examples of
