Want to help track King Tides?
By Mindy Lucas Interested in learning more about King Tides? Want to help S.C. officials track these seasonal events? Now you can. Led by the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC), the South Carolina King Tides initiative strives to document the effects that extreme tide events have on our beaches, coastal waterways, private property and public infrastructure. In fact, the first King Tide of 2021 is predicted to occur between
April 26-29. Those interested in learning how DHEC’s online reporting tool works so they can help track and document the tides, can watch a live online presentation coming up at 3 p.m. this Thursday, April 22. Since its launch in 2014, the King Tides reporting tool has been used by more than 1,500 members to generate more than 2,000 reports in South Carolina. The term “King Tide” is a non-scientific term used to describe the highest seasonal tides that occur
each year. For example, in Charleston, the average high tide range is about 5.5 feet, whereas a King Tide event may see a high tide reach 7 feet or higher, according to DHEC’s website. King Tides occur naturally during a new or full moon and when the moon is closest to Earth during its 28-day elliptical orbit. This is also known as perigee. The effects of these exceptionally high tides can vary. In some cases, they may be barely noticed, while in other cases they can cause erosion,
flooding and damage to property. This is particularly true when a King Tide event coincides with a significant rain event. To learn more about the initiative visit www.mycoast.org/sc.

First male recruits graduate recruit training from 4th Battalion
By Gunnery Sgt. Tyler Hlavac, USMC On March 26, 2021 Papa Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion completed recruit training with four male platoons and two female platoons – the first time ever that male recruits have graduated from the battalion. During training the platoons were segregated by gender and maintained separate sleeping and bathing facilities inside of their respective squad bays. Training events conducted outside of the squad bay were conducted in a gender integrated environment. Per the training order, platoons, both male and female, are the primary formation for initial training, and they progressively combine for larger training events as the program continues. This model enables appropriate acclimation to the training environment, development of relationships with drill instructors, and focus during the transformation of young women and men into United States Marines. Company staff were composed of Marines from both genders, and the platoon staff was comprised of Drill Instructors of the same gender as the recruits. Male staff to include company commanders, series commanders, 1st sergeants and chief drill instructors have previously been assigned to 4th battalion, but Papa Company hosted the first male drill instructors to serve in the battalion. Capt. Adan Rivera, who currently serves as the Papa Company Commander, said assigning male recruits to train at 4th Battalion demonstrates that recruits are held to the same standards regardless of gender.
Milner firm in Beaufort this month to assess historic structures By Mindy Lucas Members of an architectural firm contracted to update the City of Beaufort’s preservation manual and related documents will be in town later this month with plans to “walk every block” of the historic district and other areas. “We’ll be on the ground there the week of the 26th,” said Brad Roeder of John Milner Architects, Inc., at the latest Historic District Review Board meeting, held online on April 14. The firm was awarded the contract to update Beaufort’s preservation manual, supplemental manuals and list of contributing and non-contributing properties in December, and has been working on the project since. The “Milner Manual,” as it sometimes called, was written in 1979 and was meant to provide the review board guidance after Beaufort earned National Historic Landmark District status. A supplement was added in 1990 but it was never updated – something that many have said is long overdue given new technologies, ma-
terials and techniques that have been introduced in the building industry since then. In addition, the firm will also review the list of contributing and non-contributing properties and plans to “walk every block” with survey sheets from 1997, when the survey was last fully updated, noting any “changes, demolitions and new construction,” Roeder said. “From that we’ll make recommendations on whether anything should be added to the contributing structures list or downgraded to noncontributing or removed entirely if it’s not there,” he said. “And then we’ll incorporate all that of course into the design guidelines.” Both the preservation manual and list of contributing and non-contributing properties have come up in numerous meetings and discussions over the last few years as downtown development has heated up, most notably in recent discussions around the demolition of several buildings in the downtown commercial

HDRB wants city to review demo plan U.S. Marines with Papa Company, 4th Recruit Training Battalion, graduate recruit training aboard Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island on March 26. Photo by Lance Cpl. Samuel C. Fletcher, USMC. “The recruits, when they go out and (conduct physical training), they will be side-by-side working out together,” he said. “When they go on the rifle range they’ll be shooting right next to each other.” Since its formation, 4th Battalion had served as the only training battalion in the Marine Corps for female recruits until Jan. 5, 2019, when India Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion started their training cycle with one female platoon and five male platoons. Since that time female recruits have been assigned to all four of the recruit training battalions aboard the depot. Female Marines have trained aboard the depot since Feb. 23, 1949, when 3rd Recruit Training Battalion was activated. On May 1, 1954, 3rd Battalion was
re-designated as the Woman Recruit Training Battalion and remained under this designation until 1976 when it was re-designated as Woman Recruit Training Command. On Nov. 1, 1986, Woman Recruit Training Command was re-designated as 4th Recruit Training Battalion and became part of the Recruit Training Regiment. During January 1989, the 3rd Battalion companies were re-designated as November and Oscar Companies due to reorganization of the regiment. In October 1996, Papa Company was activated in order to more effectively train the larger number of female recruits arriving on Parris Island.
By Mindy Lucas Property owners need to take action if they’ve received approval for demolition and not sit on permits forever, the City of Beaufort’s Historic District Review Board says. That was one of seven recommendations put forward in a letter written and approved by members of the review board to be sent to the city for consideration. “In the past, demolition permits have been approved and property owners have not taken action in a timely manner,” the letter starts. “When an owner receives approval to demolish a structure, action should be taken to demolish and therefore

Local efforts to protect from flooding bear watching
A
LADY’S ISLAND nyone remember the massive dirt relocation project in 2018, when a reported 20,000 dump truck loads of dirt were hauled into what is now the Walmart site? If you recall that period of Lady’s Island development, when it looked like the developers were building a mountain next to the marsh, you might remember seeing truck after truck bringing in dirt to raise the elevation of the proposed commercial center so it would be in compliance with flood level regulations, since the area is known to … well … flood. It wasn’t just the new Walmart project that prompted concerned planners, government officials, developers, business leaders, the Coastal Conservation District and the Sea Island Coalition to put their heads together and come up with some amendments to development codes to stop such environmental craziness. The proposed “infill ordinance” which has already been adopted by the city of Beaufort and is before the Port Royal town council and the County Council’s Nat-

questioned the need, contending there are existing requirements that already warn potential buyers. There’s a story going around about a new property owner in the area who, upon discovering part of his new home site sometimes flooded, went to the county for permission to build a barrier in the setback zones. When asked by the county staff how often the flooding occurred, his answer was twice a day. “Well sir, your property includes marshland,” he was told. “Well, I didn’t know that. I’m not from around here. How could I know?” Just saying.

ural Resources committees applies to land which is not more than 10 feet below sea level. While it allows for some infill, only 33 percent of a large parcel can be elevated, not the entire parcel which was the case for Walmart. A second ordinance change making its way through the municipal and county channels is called the Coastal Resilience Overlay District. Proposed by the county’s Storm Water Task Force, the ordinance would require any real estate transactions of properties 10 feet below sea level to be marked with a disclaimer. This ordinance is still under consideration by the county as well as the two municipalities since the local Association of REALTORS and the Hilton Head Homebuilders Association have
And here it is – The tree report LADY’S ISLAND – Plans for the long-awaited Harris Teeter grocery and filling station are moving along in the city’s planning department, with the most recent approval for landscaping and lighting granted by the Design Review Board. And for those who might be mildly curious about the future of the trees on the site at the corner of Sams
er Dick Stewart has plans to build a three-story apartment complex on the corner lot. However, historic preservationists say the more-than50-year-old building should remain in tact. Others have taken issue with the mass and scale of the proposed replacement building. While the building is not on the list of contributing properties, others have ar-
gued the list needs to be updated given that similar buildings and structures would quite possibly meet the criteria for inclusion on The National Register of Historic Places. In addition to reviewing and updating the manual, the firm will present plans for the new guide in at least one additional city council meeting, said David Prichard, Di-
Point Road and Sea Island Corridor (does anyone NOT know where this is?), yes, more are coming down ... 154 to be exact. True, many of the trees are smaller, considered by city regulations to be “not significant” trees. But there’s at least one large Magnolia tree along Sams Point Way, a sad reminder of a beautiful Magnolia grove that once graced the wooded lot, that has a red X on it. Probably fewer and fewer local residents remember the three-year fight in the mid-1990s for that wooded parcel, a fight which went all the way to the S.C. Supreme Court before final approval was given. Forty-seven live oaks gave their lives for that Publix and what some customers cursed as the worse parking lot in the area.
Council last week unanimously approved the new fee, which will replace the solid waste tax on tax bills. That’s the same meeting where they voted to drop the mandatory mask requirement so not a lot was said about additional garbage fees.
In case you missed it BEAUFORT – The County Council’s plans to impose a $169 annual garbage collection fee for all county residents – including folks in the municipalities – has made it past second reading and awaits only a third and final vote before passage.
Keeping up with the room count BEAUFORT – As local hoteliers, like their hospitality counterparts, are struggling to find staff to work in their places of business, we eagerly await the completion of other hotels in the area to intensify the situation. Last summer, the city gave approval to a third five-story, 116-room hotel at the corner of Trask Parkway and Paris Island Gateway. While construction hasn’t begun, the new Substation on the block has opened to the joy of those who reside in the adjoining two hotels. We’re also eagerly awaiting opening of the five-story, 111-room SpringHill Suites by Marriott, which has loomed over Boundary Street since before the COVID pandemic began. Then there’s the 12-room
rector of the Department of Community & Economic Development for Beaufort. The firm has already made one presentation at city council’s April 13 work session. In addition, the firm will look for inconsistencies with the guidelines the city currently uses, including a separate guide called Northwest Quadrant Design Principles created specifically for that
neighborhood and the city’s other planning documents such as the Beaufort Code and Civic Master Plan. Once completed, the materials will be added to the city’s website by the end of September and will be made searchable and easier to use, officials have said previously. John Milner Architects is nationally recognized and has extensive experience in
boutique hotel under construction on Carteret Street where the old Boombears Toy Store once stood. No dates for completion are set for any of these because that’s information developers don’t like to share.
Welcome back BEAUFORT – Just in time to enjoy all our new hotel rooms with minimum staff to maintain them, the Marine Corps is reopening the Parris Island Depot to weekly graduation ceremonies. The ceremonies, which pre-Covid brought hundreds of families to the area to see their young Marines graduate, have been closed to the public since March 2020. Beginning May 7, graduating recruits will be allowed two guests at the Friday morning ceremonies. And face masks are required.

Fed by God The Eucharist In Scripture, God took pity on his people in their hunger. As the Israelites journeyed through the desert, God fed them with manna from heaven. (Exodus 16) He fed Elijah with special bread that strengthened him to walk for forty days. (1 Kings 19:8) Twice, Jesus took pity on the great crowds who had gathered to hear him preach, and he miraculously fed them all from a few loaves of bread. He promised the crowds that he would give himself as the Bread of Life, giving his flesh as true food and his blood as true drink. (John 6:55) As our bodies yearn for food, so our souls yearn for Jesus. Without food, we grow weak and are unable to carry out our daily tasks. Without union with Jesus, we become spiritually weak and lack the strength to do all that he calls us to do. There are many ways that we can allow Jesus to nourish our soul, such as quiet times of prayer and reflection on his Word in Holy Scripture. But Jesus has also given us a very special gift, the Eucharist, by which we are nourished in both body and soul with Jesus himself. Jesus gave us this gift of himself on the night before he died. At the Last Supper, Jesus took a loaf of bread, blessed it, broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.” He then took a cup of wine, gave thanks to God, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink, all of you; for this is my blood of the covenant.” (Matthew 26:26-29) In a mysterious way, through what looked like normal bread and wine, Jesus was uniting himself with his disciples, in a way that connected them in both body and soul.
The Eucharist is our most precious treasure as Christians. It is because we believe that the Eucharist is truly Jesus, and not a symbol, that reception of Holy Communion is limited to those who share our faith and are properly prepared. Catholic children, for example, are typically prepared for Holy Communion at about age seven, when they are old enough to begin to comprehend that they will be truly receiving Jesus himself and not ordinary bread. Through Holy Communion, Jesus nourishes us on our journey. Just as God nourished the Israelites as they journeyed towards the Promised Land, Jesus strengthens us in Holy Communion on our earthly journey towards heaven. What food does for the body, so the Eucharist does for the soul. Receiving Holy Communion with love, we are united intimately with Jesus, grow in our relationship with him, and receive grace to live a life of holiness and faith.
Receiving Holy Communion, we become one with Jesus. When Catholics gather for worship, we believe that Jesus works a miracle. The Eucharist is not merely a symbol or a reminder of Jesus, but truly Jesus himself, hidden under the appearance of bread and wine. When we receive the Eucharist in Holy Communion, we are becoming one with Jesus in our entire being, in body and soul. And he is giving himself entirely to us, physically and spiritually, in his humanity and in his divinity.

City improves rating in Flood Insurance Program, helping property owners
From staff reports A year from now, property owners in the City of Beaufort who are in the National Flood Insurance Program should be paying a lower amount for their flood insurance. The City of Beaufort was recently notified that it had received additional credits under the flood program’s Community Rating System (CRS), resulting in a CRS clas-
sification of 6, compared to Beaufort’s previous rating of 7. The rating system is from 1-10, with a rating of 1 being the best and 10 the worst. “The lower the number, the greater discount on your flood insurance,” said Bruce Skipper, chief building official for the City of Beaufort. Property owners in Beaufort who are in flood hazard zones currently have a 15 per-
cent discount on their flood insurance. With this new rating, that will increase to a 20 percent discount. Under the National Flood Insurance Program, cities and other jurisdictions are rated for flood mitigation measures, and other elements such as maintaining correct flood elevation certificates, every five years. According to FEMA, In
CRS communities, flood insurance premium rates are discounted to reflect the reduced flood risk resulting from the community’s efforts to address the three goals of the program: • Reduce and avoid flood damage to insurable property; • Strengthen and support the insurance aspects of the National Flood Insur-
ance Program; • Foster comprehensive floodplain management. The City was notified that the new rate will begin on April 1, 2022. Property owners should talk to their insurance agents to get specific information. Some Beaufort property owners may find that under new Flood Insurance Rate Maps recently released by
FEMA, flood insurance may no longer be mandatory for their property. “These property owners should still get the minimum policy offered by the National Flood Insurance Program,” Skipper said. “You may be at reduced flood risk, but there is no such thing as zero risk in much of Beaufort. Coverage through this program offers peace of mind.”

Beaufort Inn to host Harriet Movie Night Fundraiser on April 22
From staff reports In partnership with the Tabernacle Baptist Church, The Beaufort Inn is hosting a Garden Party Movie Night in Tabby Garden from 7 to 10 p.m. Thursday, April 22. Although the event is free and open to the public, donations are highly encouraged as proceeds are going toward the Harriet Tubman Monument. Tabernacle Baptist Church has launched a campaign to honor Harriet Tubman with
a monument for her services in Beaufort during the Civil War and for her role in a raid that freed hundreds of slaves in 1863. A sculpture depicting Harriet Tubman’s heroic ventures will sit next to the 153-yearold church on Craven Street in downtown Beaufort. Tabernacle Baptist is also the burial place of Robert Smalls, who was born a slave in Beaufort and became a Civil War hero and Congressman. A bust of
Smalls is also on the church grounds. Craven Street is steeped in history. The old Beaufort Arsenal home of the Chamber of Commerce’s visitor’s center and the Beaufort History Museum is a block east of the church. To the west is the Secession House, site of many informal discussions and formal meetings during the 1850’s to discuss withdrawal from the Union. The church is discuss-

MAKING A DONATION
Beaufort Republican Women’s Club members Kim Handy, Jane Culley and Jean Sulc present a donation check of $200 on April 16 to Reverend Kenneth Hodges of the Tabernacle Baptist Church toward the construction of the Harriet Tubman Monument. The monument is to honor Tubman’s services in Beaufort during the Civil War and for her role in the Combahee River Raid that freed more than 750 slaves in 1863. Before the Civil War, Harriet Tubman personally led 70 enslaved people to freedom via the Underground Railroad. In her later years, she toured parts of the northeast speaking on behalf of the women’s suffrage movement and worked with noted suffrage leader Susan B. Anthony. For further information and to donate to the monument please visit harriettubmanmonument.com. Submitted photo.
County Register of Deeds announces service to alert property owners of fraud From staff reports Beaufort County Register of Deeds Dale Butts announced Friday, April 16, that his office is offering a new alert service to provide property owners with e-mail alerts anytime that a document affecting a name or a specific property is recorded by the ROD office. The new property alert service immediately sends an email, whenever a document is recorded with the owner’s name or property ID (District/ Map/Parcel) and is free of

from page A1 prevent further hazardous or unsafe conditions to the property.” There are currently no expiration dates placed on approvals and permits issued by the City of Beaufort. However, in its two-page letter dated April 1, the review board suggests the city change the Beaufort Code to place a 24-month limit on demolition after the property owner receives approval and an issuance of a Certificate of Appropriateness. Under the revised code, property owners would be required to receive a permit for demolition and complete the demolition process and cleanup before the expiration date. In addition, demolition approvals would not receive automatic extensions as they have in the past. The recommendations come on the heels of recent controversy over the demolition of several buildings in Beaufort’s downtown commercial district that many residents believed were happening too close together or without much warning. In addition, both board members and residents have

"In some instances, fraud on real property may not be discovered until the owners seek to sell their house. While this service cannot prevent fraud, it is important to be notified early that someone may be trying to steal your property without your knowledge.”

said they do not wish to see vacant lots sitting empty while projects either continue to make their way through other stages of planning, stall altogether or take years to complete. “While I do understand there is concern about this process, we are charged with following through the very best we can with these laws and make the best decision we can make on each of them,” said review board chairman John Dickerson at the board’s March meeting. Some, such as the Bampfield Building at 307 West Street, torn down in March, are thought to have had historical significance. However, that building and another at 211 Charles Street, also slated for demolition, wasn’t on the city’s list of contributing properties which the review board has said it is charged with going by. While the city’s preservation manuals and list of contributing and non-contributing properties are currently being reviewed in a separate process, many have said the city needs to also review its demolition ordinances. At the March meeting of the Historic District Review Board (HDRB), Historic Beaufort Foundation asked for a moratorium on all demolitions
planned for the downtown historic district until the city’s demolition process could be revisited. However, at least two review board members said the HDRB didn’t have the right to issue moratoriums. “We don’t have the ability based on the Beaufort Code, Milner or anything else. No where in there does it say we have the ability to do a moratorium because we want to in the future go have somebody do something like revise the contributing property list,” Dickerson said. The board’s letter goes on to list several other recommendations including approval of demolition for contributing historic structures be based on the structural integrity of the building and other compelling information. Demolition for non-contributing structures may be approved provided clear reasons warrant demolition for the good of projects that enhance the community, the letter also stated. It is unknown when the city will take up the issue. The next regularly scheduled City Council meeting is April 27.

Top 5 tips to burning off the “Pandemic 15” By Paul Jenkins, Qualified Chemist, Sports Coach, Nutritionist, and founder of DNA Lean https://www.dna-lean.co.uk
Over the course of the pandemic, people's workout and eating habits have drastically changed. A new Journal of the American Medical Association JAMA study suggests the average person gained more than half a pound every day during the shelter-inplace orders. As we are preparing to bring life back to normal it's important to shed off these unwanted pounds. 1. Lockdown has proven to be stressful for many of us, unfortunately, stress hormones can result in an increase in fat storage. This is because hormones such as cortisol increase blood glucose, consequently stimulating insulin release. Insulin is linked to fat accumulation. Performing a 15–20-minute meditation first thing in the morning is proven to reduce stress
and stress-related hormones. 2. Burning fat requires a substantial amount of oxygen. In fact, if you exercise to the point where you are panting, fat oxidation cannot occur because the body lacks the necessary oxygen to oxidize the fat. Performing three sessions per week of deep yoga breathing can increase your habitual breathing volume, subsequently oxygenating the body and providing the necessary oxygen to help burn fat. 3. Set a proper sleep schedule. A full eight hours of sleep can burn between 400-700 calories https://www.sleepfoundation.org/. Unlike intense exercise that burns glucose and requires a ton of oxygen,

sleeping is ideal for the body to burn excess body fat. According to the National Sleep Foundation, one key benefit of getting enough good sleep is strengthening your immune system to help you prevent or limit infection in your body. Healthy sleep can support boosting the body’s immune defense and can even help you from getting sick as often. Sleep not only increases your immune system function, it also has been shown to play a role in improving antibody responses to vaccinations. This means getting enough sleep before and after you are vaccinated can help vaccines work in your body.
5. Lift weights three times per week. Resistance training increases oxidative capacity, that is, the body’s ability to burn fat. Furthermore, skeletal muscles are the furnace that burns fat off, therefore adding a few extra pounds of muscle increase your fat burning capacity. If you’re not used to lifting weights, start off with small twopound weights. As your strength increases, increase the weight amount.

to mouth odor as well. Poor dental hygiene is a particular concern. According to the American Dental Association, failure to brush and floss teeth regularly leads to the accumulation of food particles in the mouth. This
food can collect bacteria and begin to break down, causing a bad aroma. Dry mouth is another condition that causes bad breath. Without adequate saliva production, particles of food that may cause odor are not swept
away regularly. Bad breath also may be an indication of a medical condition elsewhere in the body. Upper respiratory infections and gastrointestinal disturbances may contribute to halitosis.

Chef Epps wins Bridges Block Party – Shrimp & Grits Cook-Off
From staff reports The big winner at Bridges Preparatory School’s 8th Annual Block Party – Shrimp & Grits Cook-Off, by vote of the people, was Chef Curtis Epps with Albergotti Grill in the Holiday Inn Hotel on Boundary Street. “It was a fantastic evening with beautiful weather that
not only included delicious shrimp and grits prepared by local chefs but also great music by Mike Ponder and the Steel Rail Express at the beautiful Community Beer Garden in Port Royal,” said Kimberly Gardner of the Bridges Preparatory School PTO, which organized the event. “On behalf of Albergotti
Grill, we are thankful for the first-place award, but more importantly, we are glad we could help Bridges Preparatory School,” Chef Curtis Epps said. The Block Party – Shrimp and Grits Cook-off is a key fundraising event for the Beaufort charter school in Beaufort. Bridges Prep serves grades K-12. As a state char-
ter school, the school is open to all students in the Lowcountry without tuition. Bridges Prep follows the Paideia principles of education: All children can learn and therefore they all deserve the same quality of schooling, not just the same quantity. “Putting this event together took our PTO volunteers
determination and time but it really came together in a fantastic event for all who came out and supported our wonderful school,” said Tom Angelo, chair of the Bridges Board of Directors. To learn more about Bridges Preparatory School, visit www.bridgesprep.org or call 843-982-7737.

Cink sails to third tartan jacket 17 years after last win at Harbour Town By Wes Kerr LowcoSports.com With his son right beside him holding his bag and his family close behind, 47-yearold Stewart Cink strolled to the 18th hole at Harbour Town Golf Links on Sunday evening to complete an unthinkable run. The tartan jacket was his for the third time, and the fit never felt better. Cink delivered a masterclass at Pete Dye’s track all week long, carding a final round of 1-under par 70 to finish at 19-under and clinch a four-shot victory over Harold Varner III and Emiliano Grillo. “It was just a really good, solid week all the way through,” Cink said. “It was
just so great to have the whole family here. It means so much to me. I did the job that I needed to do today to come away with a little bit of a cushion on the last few holes, which is such a pleasure to experience.” The victory puts Cink in elite company, joining Hale Erwin and Davis Love III as the only golfers to win three times at Harbour Town. He’s also just the fourth player aged 47 or older to win multiple events in a PGA Tour season since 1960. It’s been a long time coming for the Georgia native, who previously won in both 2000 and 2004 in come-frombehind fashion. This time, it was all about protecting a lead he acquired from a re-
cord-breaking first 54 holes. The day was set up for a possible duel between the veteran and the up-and-coming 24-year-old Collin Morikawa, but it very quickly turned into an extraordinary coronation. Cink began the day with a five-shot advantage over the young star, and Morikawa put immediate pressure on with an opening-hole birdie. But the comeback bid was short-lived. Morikawa dealt himself a series of unforced errors on the crucial par-5 second and missed a 4-foot par putt to quickly wipe away his momentum. Another point-blank miss on the par3 fourth hole set him back again, quickly dropping the Los Angeles native out of contention.
SPORTS ROUND UP
BASEBALL Eagles show HR clout vs. Cougars
Beaufort High baseball used a pair of home runs and a six-run third inning to break open a tied game and rolled to an 11-1 win over visiting Colleton County on Monday. The game was tied at 1 before the Eagles erupted in the third, stringing together four hits sandwiched around an error to plate three runs before Matt Bornsheuer launched a three-run homer to make it 7-1. Beaufort tacked on three more in the fourth and ended it early on Rhogue Wallace’s solo blast in the sixth. Wallace had a monster game, going 2-for-2 with a homer, two walks, and four runs, while Rush Riley tripled and drove in three, and William Winburn was 1-for-3 with two RBIs.
Ollie Holmes went the distance on the mound for Beaufort, striking out eight and allowing just one unearned run on seven hits with one walk. Beaufort (7-7, 5-2) was set to travel to Colleton County (4-12, 1-6) to complete the series Wednesday.
BOYS SOCCER JPII keeps win streak rolling with romp at CPA
John Paul II boys soccer improved its record after traveling to Colleton Prep Academy for a dominant 7-0 win Thursday night. The Golden Warriors were in control at both ends of the field all night long, as Trenton Lafountain opened up the scoring in the early minutes of the game. Austin Floyd led JPII by gather-
Meanwhile, Maverick McNealy surged to just four shots back of Cink with a scorching-hot five birdies on his front nine. Grillo used a 3-under stretch early on in his round to gain ground on the leader, but Cink wouldn’t budge from his perch at the top. Closing out a tournament is no easy task, and we’d seen come-from-behind winners in seven of the previous eight editions of the Heritage. Not this year. The now three-time tartan winner took care of business in impressive fashion. Cink’s ball-striking was outstanding all day long, and he avoided any major setbacks to keep full grasp of his commanding lead. It
may have been more on the conservative side on Sunday, but it was the reward he earned for an exceptional and record-breaking first two rounds. He executed nearly flawlessly from tee to green, and continued to nail down his approach shots to set himself up with simple par opportunities. He may be 47 years old, but Cink is playing at a phenomenal level this season, as evidenced by a September win at the Safeway Open and capped off by a victory at Harbour Town. His secret weapon: none other than his son and caddie Reagan. The 24-year-old has poured in youthful energy to his dad, providing a simple “system” that has helped Cink play
some of the best golf of his career. And with two wins already this season, the best may be yet to come. On an April weekend in the Lowcountry, Stewart, Reagan, Connor, Lisa, and the entire Cink family shared something unforgettable. After 17 years removed from a tartan triumph, the champ did it again — with his son right by his side. “I don’t know if I have words,” Stewart said. “It just keeps better. It doesn’t happen to many people that many times in their career, but to walk down that fairway with a big lead and see that ball come up on dry land here on the 18th fringe with Reagan on the bag, it’s almost beyond words.“

GIRLS SOCCER Golden Warriors rally for tough road win over War Hawks
John Paul II girls soccer traveled to Walterboro on Wednesday and came home with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over the War Hawks in a region matchup. After being down 1-0 in the first half, JPII slowly managed to step up the defense and earned many more scoring opportunities. Paige Weniger led the Golden Warriors offensively, scoring both goals in less than a five-minute period in the second half, and Julia Delgado assisted on the go-ahead goal.
Alondra Hurtado and Brenna Frank also continued to lead the Golden Warriors with their consistency in passing and handling the ball, especially with key facilitator Gin White out this week due to illness.

Holy Trinity girls soccer finished off a season sweep of crosstown rival Beaufort Academy with a 6-1 victory Monday.

‘Simple’ mistakes keep having deadly consequences
he most heartbreaking thing about the death of Daunte Wright, the Black driver who was killed when a Minnesota police officer shot him as he attempted to flee a traffic stop, is that it was all because of a mistake. I’m not talking about the alleged mistake of a hearing notice being sent to the wrong address and that’s why Wright had an outstanding warrant. A TikTok video with that allegation caught fire on social media last week before being disproved. The fact it was so readily believed is a testament to how so many in the general public believe the justice system is stacked against us. And no, I’m not talking about the mistake claimed by former officer Kim Potter, a 26-year veteran of the Brooklyn Center Police Department, who said she mistakenly drew her handgun on Wright instead of her
TERRY MANNING
stun device. I am willing to give most people the benefit of a doubt until proven otherwise, but her excuse is a hard one to swallow. According to a 2016 CNN article written after a reserve deputy in Tulsa, Oklahoma, shot a man to death, law enforcement experts recommend stun guns be carried on the officer’s non-dominant side. If an officer is right-handed, the stun gun would go on the left. For a left-handed officer, the stun gun would be carried on the right. It’s not supposed to be easy to grab the wrong one. (When I mentioned this to a longtime friend, she
had a great response: Why is the nonlethal option the alternative? Why can’t nonlethal force be the preferred option? The discussion around those questions will have to wait for another day, I guess.) Steve Tuttle, then a vice-president for strategic communications at Taser International, told CNN the devices are designed to be easily distinguishable from firearms. Though some stun guns have a pistol-style grip, they are often brightly colored, partially or completely, most often in yellow. There is a substantial weight difference between the stun devices and service weapons; though the stun guns usually are larger, they tend to weigh appreciably less than handguns. Taser, now called Taser CEW (Conducted Energy Weapons), offered training that recommended officers shout “Taser! Taser! Taser!”
before using the guns. Porter did that before she shot Wright. She followed the training. You might think such a well trained officer, who was in the middle of training a younger officer when the shooting occurred, would have been trained well enough to recognize the difference between her stun gun and her handgun, but alas, she did not. No, the mistake that matters most is the widely held notion that Tasers and similar devices should be considered nonlethal. Tuttle said in 2015 that Taser’s “conducted energy weapons” were not recommended for life-and-death situations, but that’s what those situations become all too often. Tasers are safer than a bullet in the head (or anywhere else) but they are not safe. In 2017, Reuters news agency documented more than 1,000 deaths since 2000 of people who were stunned
by police using Tasers. Out of hundreds of thousands of interactions between the public and the law enforcement in a year’s time that might not sound like a lot, but we’ve moved mountains to ease public sentiment over threats numerically less significant. It’s been a while since most of us tried to take a commercial flight, but passengers have to remove their shoes while going through airport security because of a single incident in December 2001 — right after 9/11 — where a passenger tried to detonate an explosive hidden in his shoe. Similar reactions happened after seven deaths in 1982 from people taking pills found in tampered bottles of Tylenol and most recently with the halt in use of the Johnson & Johnson COVID vaccine. In the latter case, six cases of severe blood clots were confirmed from
the nearly 7.7 million doses that had been administered. That’s literally a fraction of the number of clots that typically occur (1 in 1,000 people), but we’re so much more easily spooked nowadays. Still, deaths from “nonlethal” Tasers are generating little protest. Maybe that’s because of a U.S. News & World Report article that noted Black Americans are disproportionately represented among those deaths. Which makes sense, sadly, because Blacks are disproportionately represented in interactions between the police and the public. As are minorities in general. That should be a mistake, too. It isn’t, but maybe that discussion also is better saved for another day. Terry E. Manning lives and works in Savannah, Ga. He is a Clemson graduate and worked for 20 years as a journalist.

t is Saturday and a rising, low-angled sun has illuminated the pink blossoms that cluster on a single azalea. It has also flared the white fans atop a stand of pampas grass. For the last 30 minutes our lawn has given me silent satisfaction. Although I take pride in our well-ordered yard, I am more conversant, more at ease with confusion. Like most of my generation, I sometimes seek the order, the understandable familiarity of a grid, but for me real excitement comes with an unfamiliar, chaotic landscape. All of which brings me to Africa. Actually it brings me to the recent presidential contest in Congo-Brazzaville. Congo-Brazzaville used to be called the Republic of the Congo. Before that it was the French Congo to distinguish it from the Belgian Congo. It is small, only 5 million people live here, and most Americans confuse it with
SCOTT GRABER
the larger, more turbulent Democratic Republic of the Congo, a.k.a Congo-Kinshasa, f.k.a Zaire, which is chaos, confusion and conflict made flesh. In the early 90s I made two visits to Congo-Brazzaville. I was there, at the invitation of its President, Pascal Lissouba, for the purpose of creating a promotional hand-out that the President would distribute when he visited the United Nations later that year. “I need photos, Excellency, and directions to Congo’s National Archives where I can get photographs,” I said one afternoon. “We don’t have a Nation-
al Archives,” he replied in French. “But I see you have a camera of your own. What’s wrong with that?” “Its a cheap point-andshoot,” I said holding up the plastic, use-it-once throwaway I had brought along. “I also need transport into the interior.” President Lissouba did not reply, and so I was surprised when his driver arrived at the Bamou Palace Hotel the next morning. “Where are we going?” I nervously asked my Kalashnikov-accessoried companion as we got into the President’s Mercedes. “Aeroport,” he said. “Where Excellency keeps his helicopter.” And so began a years-long love of Congo with a flight up the Zaire River where I was stunned by the lushness, contrasted against large de-forested tracts that were testament to Asia’s appetite for Congo’s mahogany.
Shortly after my trip, Pascal Lissouba was deposed by a former paratrooper, Denis Sassou Nguesso, who remains President after years of despotic leadership. In the aftermath of that coup I developed a lasting friendship with another Congolese — Herve’ Miabey — an expatriate who now lives and teaches (math) in Washington, D.C. I was surprised, last week, when Herve’ called saying, “I have news about Congo.” His said his friend, Parfait Kolelas, had been a candidate for President running against Sassou Nguesso. Herve’ said that in the runup to the voting, Kolelas had been polling well, then suddenly got sick. Kolelas thought it was Malaria, or Covid, but he died in route to medical care in France. “I think he was poisoned,” Herve said. “How do you know that?” “I can’t prove it. But isn’t
it remarkable that the only person who had the courage to repeatedly run against Sassou is now dead?” After 23 years Sassou Nguesso is third in line (behind dictators in Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea) in terms of one-man, authoritarian longevity. He has taken a country that was admittedly poor; admittedly non-ambulatory; and made it worse. He has done this in spite of vast oil reserves in the Gulf of Guinea. For most of those 23 years of mis-rule, Herve’ has been a relentless critic of Sassou, a tireless advocate for transparency, organizing Congolese expatriates living in America and in France. He has made videos, sold commemorative mugs, and has tried his best to raise Congo’s profile — to distinguish it from Congo-Kinshasa. Herve has also spoken with President Biden — when Biden was a Senator — and
no doubt he will seek another audience. But when things go south in “Big Congo,” that bloodborne pathology, internecine butchery and killing of nuns dwarfs any ongoing misery generated by Sassou in the “Little Congo.” Boundaries, drawn with help from the Belgians, French and those other nations that participated in the “Scramble for Africa” in 1884, put Congo-Brazzaville in the same neighborhood with Congo-Kinshasa. And Congo-Kinshasa sucks every ounce of empathy, anger and outrage out of that neighborhood. I don’t suppose Herve’ will ever stop preaching his gospel; but geography makes it hard for him to get America’s attention.

The Life and Times of don David del Hacienda de los Pelicanos Chapter 2: Silent and Swift
A
ttorney No. 3 (A3) quickly developed and implemented his Mexican secret plan, otherwise known as “Silent and Swift.” Apropos of Mexican Axiom No. 1, “Nothing ever happens quickly in Mexico,” it was four frustrating months later when A3 called David and asked, “How quickly can you get to Merida?” David told him that personal issues prevented him from departing for at least a month. But this unforeseen delay allowed David to get his second Covid-19 vaccination. Bullet proof. Thereafter, David headed to Merida post haste: Savannah to Miami, Miami to Merida, on March 1. David had absolutely no idea of Plan A details, or when and how it would be implemented. He did know that his physical presence was required in situ. Don David arrived in Merida about noon; it was 95 degrees, which required a quick change into shorts and a T-shirt, regular attire for the duration. Later, A3 joined don David to discuss
A8
APRIL 22–28, 2021
DAVID TAUB
Plan A. Don David was stunned when A3 told him to be outside his friends’ house at 5 a.m. the next morning, with all his luggage in hand; that was all. It was a long night of anticipation, anxiety, and excitement. Several very cold Yucatan-brewed beers eased the transition to a new reality. Promptly at 5 a.m. the next morning, A3 arrived in an air-conditioned rental SUV. First stop was to pickup another attorney, part of A3’s coterie of legal beagles. Little did don David realize, his as yet unseen “army” would consist of four attorneys, plus many other “supporters.” The drive to the outskirts of La Hacienda de los Pelicanos took about an hour. The sun was rising gently
from the east as they headed south. They stopped at the nearest village to the hacienda. And waited. Don David asked no questions. A large pickup truck pulled up, filled with rough-looking “hombres” in the truck bed, and multiple bodies packed tightly in the double cab. The hacienda’s loyal gardener also arrived with several villagers in tow (each man carrying traditional machetes). Last to arrive, in two large police trucks, was the Chief of Police and three officers. The gardener, Fernando, had been spying on Los Bastardos’ business activities at the hacienda, and had advised A3 that an early morning arrival would be best, as the hacienda would be virtually empty. Alas, not so! A3’s carefully constructed “tribe” pulled into the hacienda at 7:30 a.m., greeted by half-dozen cars parked everywhere and lots of folks milling around. Every member of the “army” had a preassigned task to perform, and they took to it with enthusiasm and vigor.
The blacksmith cut off all the locks and installed new ones with heavy chains. The legion of attorneys went from table to table, and room to room, explaining to the visitors why they had to leave immediately, showing everyone an official copy of don David’s deed verifying that he was the real and only owner; turned out that Los Bastardos had told everyone that they were the owners. Bad career move. The visitors asked plaintively, “Can we finish our breakfast?” “Of course,” they were told. Within a half hour, all tourists had packed-up and swiftly departed, greatly relieved that this invasion of rabble was not part of a local drug cartel operation. The lawyers then engaged every employee of Jazabel’s, especially the two ladies who managed the kitchen. They were told that don David, the true owner of the hacienda, had arrived and they were no longer needed, were to depart immediately, and not to
return. Maria, the senior staffer who was very loyal to Jazabel (who had lent Maria lots of pesos in the past) immediately called Jazabel to tell her that don David had arrived and “an army of angry hombres” was chasing everyone off the hacienda grounds. Her feet were frozen to the kitchen floor; Maria foolishly put her phone on speaker mode. The kitchen was filled with police and lawyers. Jazabel screamed over and over to Maria, “DO NOT LEAVE THE HACIENDA GROUNDS!” The police laughed and after a few minutes of Maria’s continued reluctance to depart, they unceremoniously escorted her out the front gate. By 9:45 a.m., everyone had been sent away. Guards with fierce appearances took up positions at each of the hacienda’s entrances. After barely two hours, the hacienda was now totally and rightfully in don David’s possession. The illegal squatters were in the rearview mirror. The guards erected three
large banners that A3 had made, noting, in Spanish and English, that this hacienda was “private property” and trespassing was prohibited. Since that day, only invitees entered the hacienda grounds; no former employee of Jazabel’s was invited. The lawyers and a few guards escorted don David into the master bedroom of the Casa Principal, and locked him inside, for his own protection, they explained. No one knew what Los Bastardos might do, so protection of don David was high priority. They were paid well; no extra body-bags were in the “army’s” truck bed. It only took about an hour to find out what Los Bastardos would do next. Dog-gone word limits. Stay tuned for Chapter 3. “Well, all I know is what I read in the newspapers.” – Will Rogers. David M.

Police 2nd Jobs, Training, Screening, and Numbers of Police
hy do many police officers have second jobs? Police officer pay is often too low to support a family and sometimes the benefits are sparce too, which is one reason there is a large turn-over of police officers. The majority of officers in every police department that the author served in had to hold second and sometimes a third job (called secondary work) to make ends meet. Many police departments control how much secondary work a COP does. When an officer has to work too many hours at a part-time job or two part-time jobs, it can hurt the officer’s performance at the full-time job. These secondary jobs also keep officers from their families and puts significant strain on the officer’s family. How much training does a police officer get? The five and one-half month police academy that the author graduated from in 1998 was ahead of the times in providing detailed, high quality, and realistic police recruit training. Most police departments are quite small, the level of training given by each state is non-standardized, and many times too little training is given to police recruits and police officers. The duration of the training in the Police Academy varies for different agencies. It usually takes about 13 to 19 weeks on average but can last up to six months. The first police academy the author graduated from in Alabama was only six weeks long, which is far too little training to prepare someone to be a good COP. The last police academy the author attended in Missouri was a model training program and was five months long (about 24 weeks and over 800 hours of instruction). The SC Police Academy is (only) 12 weeks long. See https://sccja.sc.gov/training/ basic-law-enforcement for more information. Experts
EDITOR’S NOTE
This is column 8 of a 12-column series on what citizens should know about police officers, use of force, and challenges the police and citizens face. Columns 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 6, and 7 introduced the series by answering the questions: • What are the risks involved in police work? • How does a COP (Constable on Patrol) decide on what level of force to use?
LARRY DANDRIDGE
believe that it takes at least five-to-six months to properly train a new municipal, county, or state police officer. Any amount of training less than 800 hours is risky, may result in officers and departments getting repeatedly sued, hurt efforts to win the hearts and minds of those the police serve, and may not properly prepare an individual to safely serve as a police officer, deputy sheriff, or highway patrolman. After graduating from a police academy, rookies must then go through three or more months of training with a Police Department Training Officer before being released to work alone. Officers are also required to complete continuing education training each year. The best departments provide frequent, realistic, hands-on, and demanding training. Outstanding law enforcement agencies also have detailed and written policies and procedures, with each work process and step within the work process being
• When can a police officer use deadly force? • When can deadly force be used on a fleeing felon? • Do life and death decisions made by police really have to be made so quickly? • What does the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office do for Beaufort County? • Do police officers take care to avoid hurting innocent bystanders? • Do police officers have to retreat when facing a dangerous person? • Can a police officer be unfit to serve, even if they do not break the law? • Do police officers have to retreat when facing a dangerous person? • Can a police officer be unfit to serve, even if they do not break the law or violate department written policies? • Why do police officers not hot pursue and chase down every person who runs from them in a vehicle? • Why do police officers sometimes use choke holds on people? • Why do the police not shoot guns and other weapons out of people’s hands? • Why do police sometimes use deadly force on people brandishing a Fake Gun? • Why do the police not read everyone their Miranda rights? • How does a police officer deal with a person with a knife or other edged weapon? • Why do police departments need armored cars and other military types of equipment? These columns are not meant to replace carefully reading local, county, state, and federal law or the need for a lawyer when seeking legal advice. Larry Dandridge is not an employee of THE ISLAND NEWS and his opinions are his alone.

to specialized functions. A local police department is a law enforcement agency, other than a sheriffs' office, that is operated by a unit of local government, such as a town, city, township, or county. The BJS website shows: • Local police departments employed about 468,000 full-time sworn officers. • Of the 50 largest local police departments, about two-thirds (33) had fewer full-time sworn officers per 10,000 residents in 2016 than in 1997. • About 3% of all local police departments served populations of 100,000 or more, and they employed about 52% of all full-time sworn police officers. • More than two-thirds (71%) of local police departments served
populations of less than 10,000 residents. • About 1 in 8 local police officers, and about 1 in 10 first-line supervisors, were female. • About 1 in 4 local police officers, and about 1 in 5 first-line supervisors, were black or Hispanic. According to the US Department of Justice, FBI, Criminal Justice Service Information Division 2016 report, Table 25, https://ucr.fbi.gov/ crime-in-the-u.s/2016/crimein-the-u.s.-2016/topic-pages/ police-employees the nationwide rate of sworn officers was 2.4 per 1,000 inhabitants.

viewing, of police recruits and officers transferring from one department to another? Perhaps the most important goal of screening, background checking, IQ testing, psychological testing, lie detector testing, physical fitness testing, interviewing, training, evaluating, and supervising is to catch early anyone who is not compatible with managing the tremendous authority and challenges that police officers have. Officers being screened for his or her first police job or transfer from another police department should go through extensive screening. Normally, the police department’s detectives interview neighbors, employers, co-workers, supervisors, clergy, and references. The detectives attempt to ensure the applicant has the education, character, mental health, wisdom, driving record, physical fitness, discipline, and psychological profile to make a good police officer. Any hint of discrimination, criminal record, mental instability, dishonesty, lewd or lascivious behavior, unethical or immoral behavior, or other such adverse history should disqualify the applicant for police academy training or employment as a COP.
