COVERING BEAUFORT COUNTY
Task force looking to enhance Southside Park’s natural attributes By Mindy Lucas When Brantley Wilson was a child growing up in Mossy Oaks, Southside Park was not a place to visit. In fact the area, then the site of a wastewater treatment plant, was something to be avoided. “To be honest, you made sure your windows weren’t down when you drove by,” Wilson said recently, remembering what the site was once like.
A longtime Mossy Oaks resident and school administrator, Wilson now chairs the newly formed Southside Park Task Force. The 10-member, Beaufort City Council-appointed group is charged with advising the council on how to improve the city-owned park in the heart of the neighborhood. While the treatment facility has long since closed and its equipment removed, the 32-acre site has sat
largely undeveloped over the years, save for a dog park, some walking trails, a pair of restrooms and a lot of green space. But the fact that there isn’t much in Southside Park – or something for neighborhood kids to do once they’re there, as one task force member put it – hasn’t been for lack of imagination. In fact, it’s been mostly by design. When the park reverted back to city ownership after Beaufort Jasper
Water and Sewer Authority vacated the property, city leaders planned for a passive park. In fact, one of the best things about the park, many have noted, is what’s not there. The wide-open, unadulterated green spaces that comprise a large part of the overall acreage, have been a draw for those who love the grassy fields – from Frisbee golfers to picnickers, to those who just enjoy bat-
ting a few balls around or practicing their golf swing. Meanwhile, walkers, joggers and nature lovers can be seen using the park’s trails, which wind through stands of mature live oaks and magnolias. Still, older planning documents and master plans generated by a previous planning group’s efforts show a vision for the park that includes

Against all odds The 15th Annual Beaufort International Film Festival Goes Live By Mark Shaffer For Lowcountry Weekly
A
round this time last year as the Beaufort International Film Festival was coming to the end of another record-breaking run, the term “COVID 19” was rapidly becoming part of the worldwide public lexicon. Ron and Rebecca Tucker – like most people – thought that whatever this thing was, it would certainly run its course by summer’s end. And then like the hackneyed plot of a Sci-Fi “B” movie, the world went into lockdown. The virus spread, and ... well, we all know the rest. The Tuckers, who run the festival via the Beaufort Film Society, have parlayed BIFF into a destination event during a traditionally slow time for business in Beaufort. If at all possible, the Tuckers felt the show must go on. “As much as we love the films and filmmakers, the whole reason we have the festival is to bring people here to see Beaufort,” Ron Tucker said. “If there was a chance we could do it in person, we wanted to hold on to that option.” That meant pushing the deadline for entries to the absolute last second as filmmakers struggled to complete films in the new shared landscape of isolation and virtual reality. Meanwhile as the Tuckers considered their options, 2020 rolled on from bad to worse and 2019’s landmark accomplishment seemed further and further away. That fall the indie romantic comedy, “Stars Fell On Alabama” filmed in Beaufort with the Tuckers co-producing through the BFS. The film, co-produced and directed respectively by BIFF alumni Uyen Le and VW Scheich fulfilled the BFS mission to bring features back to the Lowcountry. But that was in “the way back” before facemasks became the century’s hottest fashion accessory and toilet paper was scarce as an actual fact. Even so, the finished film screened a year later for socially distanced cast & crew at Tabby Place. By that point, the festival’s long time home at the USCB Center for the Arts had

PAL PETS OF THE WEEK
Sports Editor
Justin Jarrett
Cat of the Week: Peppi has spent almost her entire life with us. She was quite shy when she arrived but has blossomed into a curious girl. She loves to watch the wildlife outside her cat room. She is usually found snuggled by the window. Her adorable green eyes will surely seal the deal for a lucky adopter. She is a year old, spayed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped.
Dog of the Week: Harley is seeking adventure. She needs a person who has just as much energy as she does. She needs to be the only pet in her forever home so that she can soak up all of the attention. She is 3 years old, spayed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped.
VETERAN OF THE WEEK KERMIT (CORKY ) HENNINGER
Kermit (Corky) Henninger
Beaufort’s Kermit (Corky) Henninger, 85, entered the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in 1958 and thereafter served in the Field Artillery Corps in both Korea (8inch howitzers) and Vietnam (commanding an artillery battalion of 24 155-milimeter howitzers) as well as in diplomatic and instructor posts.
It was exciting to see that Joe Biden has temporarily banned offshore drilling. Also promising, Congresswoman Nancy Mace has promised to support such a ban. This is a step forward in protecting the environment. Offshore drilling threatens the Lowcountry’s ecosystem, but importantly, shifting away from fossil fuels is critical. The start of a new Congress brings opportunity to address climate change and mitigate its impact on the South Carolina coast. Last year was the second warmest year in the Earth’s history behind 2016, and the Arctic sea ice coverage is the smallest it has ever been. This year is a turning point – the actions of our representatives will determine if the iconic beachfront houses on Harbor Island will be

wiped out, costing millions of revenue for the state, or if downtown Beaufort will be more easily flooded. Biden’s executive order is a win for the environment, but costs jobs while we are still reeling from the economic impact of the coronavirus. The Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act would place a fee on fossil fuel consumption that releases greenhouse gases, and allocate the money to the American people. This would incentivize industries to adapt cleaner technology, and offset the financial and environmental cost of carbon emissions for consumers. There is bipartisan support for this bill, and I hope that a new version will be introduced in the new Congress; I think that we can get behind that the Lowcountry’s natural beauty
should be preserved for generations. I look forward to seeing what Nancy Mace will do in Congress and am hopeful she will serve South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District well. – Claire Vaughan, Beaufort

Beaufort Twilight Run canceled for second year
From staff reports Organizers of the annual Beaufort Twilight Run (BTR) announced Monday the 2021 event has been canceled for the second year in a row because of continuing Covid-19 concerns. According to a news release, the BTR Organizing Commit-
tee worked through various options for conducting the fundraising event for Riverview Charter School, but in discussions with school leadership and Habersham Properties, where the event takes place each year, it was decided that canceling the activities surrounding the race, sched-
uled for March 20, was in the best interest of all. “While we will miss seeing everyone this March, we hope that you will use this time to be active, stay in shape, enjoy the outside, and get ready for an awesome BTR in 2022,” Race Director Lauren Kelly said in the news release. “We hope to
be back better than ever and ready to welcome you to Beaufort’s largest running festival!“ BTR co-chair Jeff Althoff said, “We can’t wait to come back in 2022 with a super fun community event.” Althoff also noted, “this is a financial stress on the county’s first charter school, having
had to cancel the event last March, as well, when the Coronavirus started shutting down activities across the country. I encourage individuals who had planned to join in the festivities this year to consider donating their anticipated entry fee to Riverview.” The BTR is the school’s big-
gest fundraiser, and revenues support numerous programs integral to student success such as technology, field experiences, after-school opportunities and more. The 2022 Beaufort Twilight Run has been scheduled for March 19 next year in Habersham.

Washington Street Park receives new playground equipment
By Mindy Lucas A park in downtown Beaufort is set to receive new playground equipment for toddlers and older children this week, city officials say. Washington Street Park, in the Northwest Quadrant neighborhood, will receive a toddler structure that features slides, climbing steps and a spinner, according to a news release from the City of Beaufort. The cost of the equipment is $37,000, and a grant from
the South Carolina Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism is covering approximately $29,000 of the cost, the release stated. Also coming is a structure for older kids that includes slides and climbers – a prize won by the city’s Downtown Operations Director Linda Roper in a raffle held at the South Carolina Recreation & Parks Association Joint Conference in September 2019. The equipment is valued at $36,000.
Some existing playground equipment will remain at the park. Much of the older equipment dates to the 1970s, the release stated. The park is being revitalized in phases. In 2019, restrooms were installed. Known for its community gatherings, including free Friday night suppers offered by local churches, community “Night Out” events and many other celebrations, the park was developed in the 1940s as the Beaufort
County Negro Recreational Center by African-American leaders – the only park in the city at the time for black families and children, according to the release. The City of Beaufort manages the park for the non-profit, comprised of descendants of the original families who founded the park. City planners hope to hold a community celebration of the new equipment sometime after it is installed.
From staff reports As of press time, weather contingent, the Spanish Moss Trail was set to reopen in Basin 1 from Rogers to Broome on or about Wednesday, Feb. 10. According to Mossy Oaks Multijurisdictional Drainage Task Force Chair Neal Pugliese, Col. USMC, Ret., residents can expect a notice to be published on various social media sites when the trail in this area is reopened. As stated last week, the Mossy Oaks Stormwater Project, is nearing completion, on schedule and on budget.
this week on the drainage system on the Spanish Moss Trail from Riverside Drive to Brotherhood Lane. All three head walls and three sets of 60-inch pipes running under the trail have been installed. Next, concrete will be poured to set the subsurface drainage in place. After that, the hole housing the drainage pipes will be filled in, graded, the tidal flap gates installed, and the coffer dam will be removed. At that point, the Spanish Moss Trail will be repaved and reopened.
Basin 1 The main drainage system has been completely installed, and the trail has been repaved with more than 1,000 feet of concrete. The concrete is setting, and pending weather, the final center line striping, landscaping, and tidal flap gate calibrations are being completed. Further, the footbridge at the west end of the Duck Pond is now open. The footbridge should be a great spot for kids of all ages to put their poles in the water. Next week, minor but supporting drainage work continues in and around the Duck Pond area, Battery Creek Road, Coates Lane, and North Royal Oaks.
Safety The project enjoyed another week of perfect safety and that’s the good news, according to Pugliese. But with the project in the final stages, he noted that many have noticed that vehicles are traveling well above the posted speed limits. According to Pugliese, Beaufort Police have been active in the area as a means to encourage motorists to drive safely.
Basin 2 Great progress was made
Stay informed Those affected or interested in the Mossy Oaks Project should register with the “Notify Me” application found on the City of Beaufort website (https://www.cityofbeaufort.org/list.aspx) and subscribe to the Mossy Oaks Stormwater Project updates.
Car crashes, injuries, up in 2021 for Burton Fire District
From staff reports The Burton Fire District has seen a 33 percent increase in motor vehicle collisions so far this year, and more alarmingly, an increase in the number of injuries resulting from these collisions. As part of Burton Fire District’s Community Risk Reduction program, fire officials continuously look at statistics and analyze data to see what the community’s needs are to ensure the right services are provided. While fires appear to be down so far in 2021, motor vehicle collisions are up from 2020, and fire officials are more concerned with the
number of injuries resulting from these collisions. From Jan. 1 to Feb. 8, 2020: 15 vehicle collisions, 4 involved injuries (27 percent), with no occupants trapped. From Jan. 1 to Feb. 8, 2021: 20 vehicle collisions (up 33 percent), 13 involved injuries (65 percent), and one trapped occupant. Watching these statistics allow Burton fire officials to adjust their services to meet the demands and needs of the community. “Today’s fire service is dynamic,” Burton Fire Chief Harry Rountree said in a release. “Where we once responded primarily to fires, we
now have to be prepared to respond to anything, and we cannot do so blindly, so we watch our numbers and statistics, and match those with our services to see if we need to adjust the services we are providing, and also what we need to start planning for.”
Hopeful Horizons’ Race4Love returns with a few changes for 2021
From staff reports The 9th annual Race4Love, presented by Stokes Toyota of Beaufort, will be held at 9 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 20 on Cat Island. This year, the host, Hopeful Horizons, is limiting the number of runners who can participate. Also, a new event, the Candlelight Walk4Love, will begin at 5:15 p.m., Friday, Feb. 19 at First Presbyterian Church in downtown Beaufort. The walk will be limited to 50 people. Participants will walk from the church to the bridge and light up the bridge with battery-powered candles to honor abuse survivors. Of course, this year there will be COVID-19 considerations: • Masks and physical dis-
tancing will be required; • There will be no onsite registration. Participants must pre-register; • There will not be an in-person awards ceremony. Winners will be announced on Facebook and listed on Race4Love. com. Awards may be picked up at Grounded Running. “We are grateful for the sponsors and volunteers who have come together once again to support the Race4Love – and the addition of the Walk4Love,” Hopeful Horizons CEO Kristin Dubrowski said in a release. “Survivors of abuse need the support of the entire community, especially in 2021, and this is one way you can show your support and
help to raise awareness.” Prizes will be given to the top two males and females overall, and medals will go to the top three in each age division. All children age 9 and younger will receive medals. Prizes will also be awarded for the best stroller, the speediest dog, and a new award for the most unique mask. The Race4Love has its origins in the Tate/Coursen Memorial Walk/Run that was organized by Marie Tate in 2012. The event honored Lance Cpl. Dana Tate and Cpl. Dyke “A.J.” Coursen, two Beaufort County Sheriff’s deputies who were killed when responding to a domestic violence call in 2002. Marie Tate, Lance Cpl.

WETLANDS WILDLIFE RETURNS
From staff reports For those who were worried, the experts were right. The wildlife is definitely living it up in Port Royal’s Cypress Wetlands, once again. The Town of Port Royal lowered the water level in the fall to remove excess vegetation and excavate to restore depth around the existing islands. While that work went on, the trails in around the wetlands were closed and many visitors – and animals – had to enjoy nature elsewhere. With the water level back to normal in the new year, the many species of wildlife that call the wetlands home are out and about once again. According to the town’s website, numerous species of birds, including herons, hawks, eagles, owls, falcons, geese, ducks, and other migratory waterfowl, call the wetlands home, as do alligators, turtles, and snakes, … even when you can’t see them.
This lone Canada goose stood in the same spot just looking around as if trying to take it all in Tuesday afternoon at the Cypress Wetlands in Port Royal.

At the same time, though, he and other Mossy Oaks residents want to keep the park true to its passive park roots. “I think there’s value in having open space that’s not defined,” he said. Feedback from residents as well indicated a preference for low-impact amenities rather than athletic fields for organized sports. “And there actually is quite a lot of space to put other amenities without necessarily needing to cut into the green space,” he added.

The county owns a neighboring plot of land, connected to Southside Park by a walking trail, that already features two tennis courts. Earlier planning documents for the park proposed adding two additional courts to the county’s site. “So part of the vision is that it would feel like its one interconnected park,” he said.

since many residents indicated they didn’t want activities that would create a lot of noise, City Councilman Neil Lipsitz said. “We need to respect the neighborhood,” he said at the group’s most recent meeting. A longtime resident of
Mossy Oaks who lives a “stone’s throw” away from the dog park, Lipsitz is now serving as council liaison to the task force. Lipsitz ran for city council partly on a platform for improving the park. He specifically wants to see a playground added, he said. “It would help revitalize the neighborhood and attract young families,” he said. In fact, he’d like see some amenities that would include all ages, he said, something like nine-hole disc golf, a recreation that requires substantially less space than golf, can be relatively inexpensive to install, requires little to no maintenance and features above-ground hoops or “targets.” “Anything that can include the entire family,” he said.

Requiem for a (movie) heavyweight
Danny Aiello’s final film to premiere at BIFF
By Mark Shaffer For Lowcountry Weekly
“

ichael Corleone says hello.” The scene is from Francis Ford Coppola’s classic “The Godfather: Part II.” Corleone family enforcer, Tony Rosato casually drops the line as he attempts to assassinate Frank Pantangeli in one of the film’s most harrowing and pivotal moments. It was Danny Aiello’s only line in the film. In hindsight it served as his “hello” as one of the great character actors of his time. Raised on the mean streets of the South Bronx in the 1940’s, the former bus driver
as Sal in Spike Lee’s breakout film, “Do The Right Thing” and Cher’s hilariously Danny cuckolded Aiello fiancé, Johnny Camarerri, in the Oscar winning classic, “Moonstruck.” Aiello passed away in December 2019 at the age of 86. His final performance in writer/director Deirdre O’Conner’s “One Moment” makes its world premier at this year’s Beaufort International Film Festival. She plans to make the trip from her home in Long Island where she teaches film at Nassau Community College. “Teacher by day, filmmaker by night,” O’Conner said. This is her first feature.

Losing him as a friend was really heartbreaking.” and union activist came late to the acting game, but he came with a brash, streetwise confidence that defined his long career. He was so confident, in fact, that Coppola let him improvise his line right on the spot. The big man could do it all. Among his career highlights were his Oscar-nominated performance

Deirdre O’Conner: I’ve shared the film with his family, and that’s been a very moving experience. His 66th wedding anniversary was just the other day, and his son said they watched the film with his wife, Sandy. They’re very excited that he’s nominated at Beaufort. Mark Shaffer: You two had a real connection, it seems.
WANT TO GO? “One Moment” makes its world premier at the 15th annual Beaufort International Film Festival at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 17. Tickets are available at www. BeaufortFilmFestival.com.
DO: He was not only a great actor he really was a good person. I can’t say enough about him. The film is really secondary at this point. Losing him as a friend was really heartbreaking. MS: Like a lot of filmmakers in this time you were lucky to finish. DO: We were held up in editing for a long time. We finished at the end of October. In fact, I’ve never met the editors. They’re all out in L.A. MS: You were teaching and trying to finish a feature at the same time, both remotely. DO: Nobody expected to have to do everything from home, but teaching college allows for some professional flexibility to pursue other goals. MS: Also in your field, this is the professional equivalent of publishing. DO: Exactly! In English they would want me writing and presenting and this is making a film and presenting at festivals, the first of which is Beaufort. And we had our choice as to where to premier. But Beaufort from the beginning was in my heart for a number of reasons. I’m very happy to be debuting to the world in Beaufort. MS: What were those reasons? DO: I’ve never been, but my dad, his twin and an older brother all went through training at Parris Island

New York based actor/director Clyde Baldo succumbed to the virus in December. He appears in four films – directing one – and is nominated for Best Actor (“In The Promised Land”) and Best Director (“Monarch Butterfly”). “It’s a real shame,” Rebecca Tucker said. “He will be a huge presence in the festival.” Another presence loom-

Stars align for ’Bama in Beaufort the bulk of the film was shot in and around Beaufort during two frenzied weeks in November 2019. Co-produced through the Beaufort Film Society, it’s the first feature film to shoot in Beaufort in two decades. But the real story dates back to the 2013 BIFF when VW and Uyen began a tradition of showing up and winning awards. This was followed in due course with the pair relocating to Beaufort from L.A. where they spent two years trying to fund and film the original comedy “Basement Bob.” Sadly, Bob didn’t make it (yet), but the idea of shooting a movie in Beaufort was firmly rooted and when the opportunity for ’Bama happened, the stars finally aligned. A few days after the socially distanced, drive-in premier of SFOA in Los Angeles, the duo of Scheich and Le is back home in Atlanta already working on The Next Thing.

Uyen Le. Although set in Alabama,
Mark Shaffer: So, you get back from L.A., the film hits VOD on that Friday and it’s
burning up the charts. VW: We’re trading calls and texts with everyone, “Hey we’re 24!” Uyen: And then it’s at 19, and we’re like “that’s awesome! We’re 19! And then it jumped to 9 … VW: iTunes is probably the platform that’s easiest to track and I think we’re at No. 6 there, which for a little indie like this to be up there with (blockbusters) like “Mulan,” wow. We’re up there with “The Croods!” Uyen: And “Tenet.” “Tenet” is No. 1. VW: That’s crazy. MS: Not to belittle the current state of affairs, but I think timing is everything and this film checks a lot of boxes. VW: You know, we’re on the plane and Uyen’s reading about all these terrible things and I’m getting updates on how well the movie’s doing. So being No.1 in the romance category on iTunes is pretty great. MS: Opening weekend was big for ’Bama all the way ‘round. (Both laugh)
ing large is the legendary character actor, Danny Aiello. Known for iconic roles in films like “Do The Right Thing” and “Moonstruck,” Aiello passed away in 2019 at the age of 86. His final performance in Writer/ Director Deirdre O’Conner’s feature “One Moment” makes its world premier at BIFF. Like Baldo, Aiello is nominated for a posthumus Best Actor award. O’Conner, who teaches college-level film studies in New York, says losing Aiello was like losing a family member. The second New York film comes from Director Aimee Long. “A Shot Through The Wall” follows a young
Chinese American cop in the “ripped from the headlines” aftermath of the accidental shooting of an innocent black man. The lone California entry comes by way of BIFF (and UNCSA) alumna Ben Hall. “Night Into Day” deals with a young Los Angeles couple whose impending divorce only seemed like the end of the world until the real thing showed up. And then there’s the Second Coming (sort of). A few years back Greenville-based filmmakers Chris and Emily Reach White debuted their original screenplay for “Electric Jesus” at BIFF. This year “Jesus” opens the show, so to speak. Think “Almost Fa-
mous” meets “The Breakfast Club” (hey, Judd Nelson’s in it). The film chronicles the misadventures of a Christian hair metal band during the sin and Spandex drenched decade of the 80s. I’ll give it points for my favorite tag line of the year so far: A Star is Born ... Again. All four features in competition are slated to screen in the evening slot. The rest of the schedule is packed with a huge range of short films, documentaries, and animation marked by a host of returning filmmakers. And at a time when the world really needs a laugh, the schedule is crowded with a record sixteen comedies.
Once again, the features screen at night and all but one are available by purchasing individual tickets. “’Electric Jesus” is part of the opening-night package,” Ron Tucker said. “It’s this year’s ‘Wow!’ moment to kick things off.” The 2021 fest also debuts a new category with a diverse trio of documentary features spotlighting “Duty and Honor.” “The Girl Who Wore Freedom” follows stories handed down by French citizens freed from Nazi occupation during the allied invasion of Normandy and still celebrated annually. “Bastards’ Road” chronicles a modern Marine veteran’s 6,000 mile cross-country

part from a readily available and highly effective vaccine what the world in lockdown craves most right now is distraction. We wish to be removed from reality and transported to a place without care in a way not experienced since the Great Depression. As it turns out, the perfect prescription for pandemic escapism was filled right here in Beaufort and is currently being administered at will, often in multiple doses, via your preferred method of Video on Demand. “Stars Fell On Alabama” hit half a dozen of the top VOD platforms on Friday, Jan. 8 like the Crimson Tide hit the Irish a week earlier. Let’s just say it was a big weekend for ’Bama. The low-budget indie “romcom” crushed the competition much like, well, the Tide crushed the hopes and dreams of Buckeye fans the following Monday night. The film is directed by VW Scheich and executive

member or filmmaker – just raved about how great it was. And their marketing was so inviting it just made me want to go be part of it.
VW: You know, I think the team must’ve watched the movie and gotten so excited they … Uyen: Just went off! VW: Strong hearts, great movie. Can’t lose. MS: Even though it’s got Alabama in the title, you may have made the best tourism film the Lowcountry’s seen since “Gump.” VW: Once they land in fictional Alabama you could play that on a loop in the Welcome Center at the Arsenal. We lived there with you and everyone else and we discovered these beautiful places and I think we shot them all. Uyen: A friend asked me about the scene where they’re all talking to the lead in L.A. She wanted to know if that was a real bar. It’s the Old Bull Tavern. I said, “It sure is. We used to live right behind it.” All those spots that we know and grew to love, we wanted the audience to see them and love them, too.”

Three ends are shot at each distance for an aggregate score. Bull’seyes are used as tiebreakers as top shooters Patrick Good and Nathaniel Nash found out Friday. Nathaniel Nash was the top BA shooter of the day with a total score of 274 and 15 Bull’seyes. Meanwhile, teammate Patrick Good also shot a 274 but only scored 10 Bull’s-eyes, loosing to Nash by 5 Bull’seyes.

Dolphins hold off Cougars; playoffs hopes dashed by Raptors
LowcoSports.com Three players posted double-digit efforts and Battery Creek’s girls kept their playoff hopes alive with a 48-36 win over visiting North Charleston on Friday at the Palace, but the Dolphins’ playoff hopes dissolved with a 37-36 loss at
Academic Magnet on Monday. The Dolphins stayed in position to take one of two playoff spots from Region 8-3A with the home win over North Charleston, as Kiara Wilson led all scorers with 12 points to go along with seven rebounds
and three assists. Ashante Shaw posted her first double-double of the season with 10 points and 11 boards, adding in seven steals, and Noni Singleton notched 10 points while collecting four rebounds and dishing out an assist. It was the second straight
win for the Dolphins, who got 13 points from Myra Smith and six from Wilson in a 4133 win over Oceanside Collegiate Academy on Feb. 2. But Battery Creek couldn’t close out the win Monday at Academic Magnet, taking a 23-20 lead to the fourth quarter be-
fore allowing the Raptors to escape with the home win. Creek boys’ season ends abruptly After a tough week that included losses to region powers Bishop England and Oceanside Collegiate, the news got even worse for the
Battery Creek boys. The Dolphins’ final two regular-season games were canceled due to COVID-19 exposures at the opposing schools, leaving Creek in third place in the region standings with only two teams qualifying for the playoffs.

Warren’s 32 push Eagles past Seahawks in key region clash By Justin Jarrett LowcoSports.com Hilton Head High’s girls brought the fight to Beaufort High in their first action in nearly a month, but Layla Warren was lethal. Warren poured in 32 points, including 13 in the fourth quarter, to help the Eagles secure their third consecutive region win, beating the Seahawks 49-41. The Eagles got off to a hot start, as Warren dropped in eight in the first quarter to
build a 16-8 lead and Beaufort led 22-16 at halftime. The Seahawks surged back in the third, as Lynda Young and Janiya Ferebee heated up and closed the gap, forging a 30-30 tie heading to the fourth. Then it was Layla Time. Warren took over down the stretch, stroking a 3-pointer off a kickout from Quinn Wilson, then grabbing a long rebound and blowing by a defender on the way to the rim for the coast-to-coast finish.
Ki’Ayisa Moultrie added six, including a big bucket in the fourth quarter, and Jayla Daise had six for the Eagles. Young finished with 15, Ferebee had 13, and Anna Genova added seven for the Seahawks, who played for the first time since Jan. 12. Beaufort (6-4, 5-3) remains in play for the No. 2 seed in the Region 7-4A tournament heading into their regular-season finale at home against May River on Wednesday.

By Justin Jarrett LowcoSports.com It was almost as if two games took place Friday night on Kirkland Court — With McCracken and Without McCracken. Hilton Head High’s Will McCracken poured in 25 points before leaving the game midway through the third quarter, and the Seahawks held off a furious rally from Beaufort High for a 55-52 victory to remain undefeated in Region 7-4A play. McCracken wasted no time getting started, grabbing the opening tip and racing to the rim for a layup just four seconds in. He had 11 in the first quarter, but the Eagles matched the Seahawks’ intensity and opened up a 16-14 lead after a breakneck first period. But the Seahawks kept coming in waves, and McCrack-
en was a tsunami, darting through traffic to find open shots and doing damage in transition. He had 20 at halftime and added five more quick points early in the third to give Hilton Head High a comfortable cushion. Then the future UNCW Seahawk skied for a loose ball and was undercut by his defender, crashing to the floor on his back and banging his head. McCracken rubbed the back of his head and made his way to the bench, where he stayed the rest of the night as a precaution. The Seahawk star’s absense, coupled with the fact HHIHS was without dynamic forward Jaylen Sneed, gave the Eagles an opening, and they took advantage. Ollie Holmes stayed hot from 3-point range all night, finishing with 14 points, and
Daniel Phares added 12 for the Eagles, but it was Rush Riley who nearly led them all the way back, scoring all nine of his points in the second half, including seven in the fourth quarter. Beaufort got within four on the last of Holmes’ three triples, but the Eagles couldn’t get the stops they needed down the stretch, even without McCracken on the floor. Sam Summa and Adam Clark each added eight points for HHIHS, while Na’keydrick Black scored six and Karyce Campbell scored four big points in the fourth quarter. The Seahawks (10-2, 8-0) will try to wrap up the region title and a playoff berth at James Island on Wednesday. The Eagles (6-4, 4-4) wrap up the regular-season at home against May River on Wednesday.

Kynew Barnwell scored 19 points, Zhani Thompson added 12, and Erin Rivers had nine
for the Warriors, who led 14-9 after one quarter and opened it up by outscoring the Eagles 10-2 in the second quarter. Whale Branch again held Military Magnet to a single field goal in the third quarter, increasing the margin to 3413 after three quarters before coasting to the finish. “We played our game,” Mack said. “We knew from the beginning that Military Magnet was going to pressure us full court and try to speed up the game, but before we left the locker room I told the girls
that they have to be in control by doing what we do best which is protect the basketball, take good shots, move the ball around and feed the post.” Thompson and Rivers dominated in the paint, and Layla Love also contributed four points in a monster effort from the Warriors’ frontcourt. “That was key for us tonight, getting the ball inside,” Mack said. “We wanted to limit Military Magnet’s possessions, and I believe we accomplished that goal.” The Warriors (10-0, 5-0)
wrap up the regular season at home against Charleston Math & Science on Wednesday.
Warriors’ playoff hopes dashed with road loss
The late surge wasn’t enough for the Whale Branch boys this time. The Warriors dug a double-digit hole with a lackluster third quarter and couldn’t close the gap in a 53-44 loss at Military Magnet
on Monday, ending Whale Branch’s playoff hopes. Trevon Spillers scored 20 points and grabbed seven boards, and Jermaine Hartwell added 19 points and seven assists to lead the Eagles, who remain one of two undefeated teams in region play along with Baptist Hill. With two losses and only one game remaining, the Warriors can’t make up the ground to earn one of two playoff spots from Region 7-1A. Whale Branch was within seven at halftime and in po-
sition for another second-half comeback, but the Warriors went ice-cold in the third quarter, managing only two fields goals as Military Magnet extended the lead to 40-28. The Warriors tried to make a run in the fourth but couldn’t close the gap. Jaylen Reeves and AJ Singleton each scored 10 points, and Devonta Barnard added eight for the Warriors. Whale Branch (6-4, 4-2) wraps up the season at home against Charleston Math & Science on Wednesday.
Big Ben, BA avenge lopsided loss to HHP with 20-point rout
LowcoSports.com As the buzzer sounded to end a 40-point defeat at the hands of Hilton Head Prep, Beaufort Academy’s boys were itching for another crack at the Dolphins. Ten days later, the Eagles got that shot, and they made it count. Ben VanHise delivered a monster 24-point performance to go with 10 rebounds and two assists, and Beaufort Academy stunned Hilton Head Prep at home in dominant fashion 60-40 Monday night in a remarkable rebound from a 46-33 loss to Hilton Head Christian Academy just two days earlier. “It feels really good,” Eagles head coach Bobby Smith said. “As a team, we wanted to come out and be ready to play because we knew they have a great coach and a great team. We just knew that we were a better team than when we played against them the first time. We hadn’t been able to put four quarters togeth-

er, but tonight we did. We played defense, we rebounded, and we made some shots. I’m just happy to see my team come together.” Big Ben and the Eagles started fast, as VanHise outworked the Dolphins on both ends of the court, scoring six early points and giving his squad an early 14-5 advantage. Then Hilton Head Prep came alive in the second quarter, finding contributions all across the lineup to score 17 in the frame. Sully Gay and Kevin Rogers came up big off the bench for BA to provide some important buckets, but a 17-8 run fueled by electric point guard Jayden Chance knotted the game at 22 going into halftime. The second half was all Beaufort Academy. Despite a 10-point third quarter from Dolphins star JJ Hayes, HHP had no answer for VanHise, showing his remarkable versatility finishing past defenders at the rim and splashing
a three to catapult his Eagles ahead. The Beaufort Academy offense was clicking on all cylinders, as Ja’sean Lawson, Elijah Fess, and VanHise combined for a quartet of three-pointers in the third period to double up the Dolphins 24-12. Then the Eagles shut the door in the fourth, playing lockdown defense to limit a stunned Dolphin squad to just six more points while VanHise polished off an all-around masterpiece performance with seven more in the final minutes. “I had a feeling that they came in thinking this would be an easy win, an easy matchup for them,” VanHise said. “But we had other plans. I finally had my standout game that I’ve been waiting for, and having it against JJ was a great feeling.” Fess supported VanHise’s big night with three triples and 10 points, Lawson added seven points, and Rogers put up six in a highly-efficient
nine minutes. After a string of shaky offensive showings, Beaufort Academy was sizzling Monday night, shooting 8-of-16 from beyond the arc to complement VanHise’s dominance in the paint. Hayes scored 16 and grabbed seven boards to lead the Dolphins, and Jayden Chance joined the junior in double figures with 10 points, six boards, and three assists. BA did a phenomenal job of defending HHP’s Kane Eanes and Ryan Mikell, who combined for 32 points in the first meeting but just nine in the rematch. BA shot 52.1 percent from the field while holding the Dolphins to 30.4 percent, including 3-of-14 from 3-point range. Beaufort Academy (8-8, 4-3) traveled to Bethesda Academy on Tuesday. Hilton Head Prep (124) hosts Colleton Prep on Thursday.
BA blows by HHP with 20-0 run in 4th
Hilton Head Prep’s girls were about to wrap up a crucial road win Monday night, but Beaufort Academy roared back in the fourth quarter, scoring all 20 points in the period to snatch away a 39-28 home victory. The Eagles started strong, opening up a 10-8 first-quarter lead behind six points from Tahleea Heyward, but the home team went cold in the second, as Hilton Head Prep’s strong man-to-man defense limited BA to just a single Mike’Ala Washington bucket. HHP found scoring from five different Dolphins in the period as the away side used a dominant defensive effort to take an 18-12 lead into the break. The Dolphins kept the defensive pressure going in the third, outscoring Beau-
fort Academy 10-7 as Emma Moore was the reliable option with four points in the frame. But HHP’s offense sputtered completely in the fourth quarter as the Eagles surged ahead with a 20-0 run to pull out a stunning come-frombehind win. BA delivered on the defensive end, forcing 14 second-half turnovers to take control of the game. Washington scored seven of her 14 points during the final period, including sinking five of six from the line to ice the game. Heyward matched Washington with 14 points, and Margaret Hiers added four. Ella Clark, Haylee Hopman, and Moore scored seven each to lead Hilton Head Prep. Beaufort Academy (107, 5-2) hosts Colleton Prep on Friday for the final home game of the season. Hilton Head Prep (5-8) welcomes the War Hawks on Thursday.

All around us: Liars, damn liars and politicians
O
ur lives are being overrun by liars. What once would have been scandalous, career-ending demonstrations of dishonesty have now become commonplace shows of disrespect for the general public’s collective intelligence. And to all of that I say, “Damn you, Bill Clinton.” Now, I know the former president didn’t invent lying. Cain took care of that in the Book of Genesis, when he lied about killing his brother, Abel. When the Lord asked where Abel was, Cain threw up his hands and said, “What, am I my brother’s keeper?” You have to admire the sheer audacity of someone who would lie to GOD, the omnipotent and omniscient Creator of all things. This wasn’t taking a ball-point pen from your chiropractor’s office. This was mankind’s first lie. But if you’re going to do something, go big or go home, right? So when I watched Bill
TERRY MANNING
Clinton wag his finger and declare, “I did not have sexual relations with that woman,” all I could do was laugh. I explained to a younger friend, “relations” was a word old church folks used for sex, so Clinton might not have had intercourse with Monica Lewinsky, but he was basically admitting they did everything else. Clinton lied like a lawyer, parsing words to find loopholes. He was a cutting-edge, state-of-the-art deceiver. And I say this with full confidence because I had been one. In my teen years, like a lot of young people, I sorely underestimated the intelligence of most adults I encountered. I lied like a rug, about matters
great and small. My father finally had enough, telling me, “Until you prove otherwise, I’m going not going to believe anything you say.” He was serious about that, too. Was it cold out? What came in the mail? What had Mama left us to reheat for dinner? What shows were on TV that night? Who was that on the phone? Had the dogs been fed? Was there any juice in the fridge? Who won the ballgame? To every question, my father would first ask me and then turn to my younger brother for “the truth.” It went on for weeks, and it cut deeply. It was hurtful and shameful. I ended up standing before him in tears, begging his forgiveness, pledging my truthfulness. There were topics I avoided in later years, lest I be forced to disclose damning information, but I never again stood in front of my father and told the kind of bold-faced lie I’d become an expert in telling. So yeah, I know lies. I still kind of respect good ones.
We have tribalized truth. We overlook lies as long as it’s our champion telling them. We overlook them if they upset those other folks. We tell ourselves and others that God doesn’t require perfect people to do His will, as if that makes every exaggeration, every misrepresentation, every reversal, ever flat-out lie some part of a divine plan.” But these people in our public lives now? These politicians? They’re awful at it. They don’t even try! They do a thing on Monday, say another on Tuesday and by Thursday they deny everything they said or did. Even though there’s evidence anyone can see! Well, anyone who wants to see. See, that’s where my worry starts. We have become so accustomed to public figures being liars it’s hardly considered a defect anymore. They overwhelm us with the quantity — and dare I say, banality — and our senses grow numb to their falsehoods. We
allow them — and ourselves — to escape accountability with ready-made excuses: “It’s all fake news.” “He was just joking.” “She said she was sorry.” “Well, what about the time your guy said … ?” And that’s the other part of it: We have tribalized truth. We overlook lies as long as it’s our champion telling them. We overlook them if they upset those other folks. We tell ourselves and others that God doesn’t require perfect people to do His will, as if that makes every exaggeration, every misrepresentation, every reversal, ever flat-out lie
some part of a divine plan. In the wake of recent upheaval, these high-profile liars and their supplicants might do well to consider the fate of the first liar. God cursed Cain such that nothing he did after that prospered and he spent the rest of his life in exile. So maybe we are our brothers’ keepers after all, and that means not telling them lies that destroy us all. Terry E. Manning lives and works in Savannah, Ga.

Lying is wrong but is there no room for contrition?
I
t is Saturday, early, and I’m listening to “The People’s Pharmacy” and feeling the warmth of a well-tended fire. This morning “People’s Pharmacy” gives us a Harvard geneticist who has written a book about aging. The book gives one tips on aging — slow, elegant, elegiac aging — and one of his tips is don’t lie if you can help it. I am, I must confess, surprised. Yes, I understand one must seek-out fiber and avoid sugar and stress. But lying? All of which reminds me of a recent cheating scandal at West Point — cheating on a calculus exam. Cheating involving a winning football team. Cheating that might have meant forgoing the Liberty Bowl. Cheating (at West Point, Annapolis and Colorado Springs) is something that makes headlines because
SCOTT GRABER
cheating is an Honor Violation and if one is found guilty one gets a one-way ticket home. At least that’s what used to happen. It’s what happened at The Citadel in those long gone days when I was cadet. Although there was no turn-your-back-on-the-condemned ceremony that was featured in the movie, “Lords of Discipline”, at The Citadel, the trials were held at night and the cadet, if convicted, had to be gone by morning. I was, I must admit, surprised to learn that West Point softened its “ticket
home” policy in 1976, making it possible, in some instances, to stay at the Academy in spite of conviction. West Point has something called the “Willful Admit Program” that sends some cadets (accused of lesser violations) to ethics and honor rehabilitation classes. In an effort to get a better perspective on West Point cheating, I wrote my friend Ben Peeples in Charleston. Ben and I were classmates at The Citadel in the 1960s, and Ben had been a member of the Honor Court. So I sent Ben a draft of my proposed column asking for his thoughts. “Don’t print this,” he wrote back. When I called Ben asking for details, he asked if I was familiar with the “normalization of deviance” concept. “I’m not,” I replied. “Do you remember the
Challenger?” Ben then explained about the “O-rings” that failed, burned up just after launch, and the explosion that then killed the entire crew. All of which was witnessed by most of the country, including little children, on live television. Ben explained that the O-rings had been scorched in earlier missions, but they had not failed. He explained that NASA, then under tremendous pressure to keep the Shuttle flying, decided that their previous protocol of absolutely no scorching could be modified. That a little bit of scorching was OK. “What has that got to do with cheating at West Point?” Ben then told me about studies done on commercial pilots and the checklist protocol they do every time they fly an airplane. He said that some pilots to not do the entire list, deciding for themselves that
a particular system has never failed and checking it is a waste of time. “Studies show that once a single protocol is ignored its easy to ignore a 2nd or 3rd system,” Ben said. “That often leads to routinely skipping other systems that are believed to be working without problems. This is what we call the normalization of deviance,” he said. Although I am often slow on the uptake, I finally realized that Ben was arguing that softening the punishment — the go home consequence of an honor violation — was a step in the wrong direction. “Look, Scott,” he said. “When you come to The Citadel, you make a deal about no cheating. Then if you cheat — you don’t lose your life or pay a fine or go to jail — you simply lose your right to stay. To be part of the club,” he said.
them, and favors can keep someone afloat in a time of need. Let’s all try to incorpo-
rate random acts of kindness into our routine to make our community more united.
And so, this morning, I sit by my small fire reading the blogs of the West Point alumni who mourn the passing of the “Old Corps,” who say the honor inculcated at West Point is now and forever cheapened. “We’ve become like everybody else,” they write. “The United States Army, as we know it, will never be the same.” But as one who once defended a cadet who was accused on an Honor Violation, I know the searing pain and shame that comes with conviction. Part of me believes that West Point is justified in making room for the admission of guilt; for rehabilitation and leniency. For me this is a tough call.

Virtual Acts of Kindness By Jason Carnes In today’s world, we have become reliant on communicating without physical interactions. Utilizing the internet to stay close to the people and things that matter to you is a critical tool. February is Random Acts of Kindness Month, a practice we can all get in the habit of every month. Here are some ideas for virtual random acts of kindness: 1. Give a positive recommendation to a work colleague on LinkedIn. Help your colleagues build credibility in their network with a testament to their skills. 2. Purchase a Wish List item for a local nonprofit. Ordering items online is an excellent contactless way to donate.
3. Become a Mentor in your expertise. Offer free consultations, materials, or advice to those looking to succeed in your field. 4. Write a Positive Review for a local business. Help your favorite small businesses stay open by singing their praises. 5. Send a virtual greeting card. There are tons of free cards online to download. 6. Send an e-gift card. Treat your friend to their favorite pick me up. 7. Throw a virtual surprise party for someone. Celebrate someone’s birthday or accomplishment with a gathering of their favorite people on one screen. 8. Email a former teacher of yours to say thank
you. Think back to those who had an impact on your development. It is never too late to thank them. 9. Tutor someone online for free. Online school can leave students feeling lost and in need of extra support. 10. Be kind to yourself. Don’t forget to treat yourself with the same kindness you give others. Acts of kindness not only make others feel good, but they remind you of the impact that your actions can have. Taking a few minutes out of your busy day to do something for someone else can have a long-lasting effect on them. People often remember genuine compliments long after they receive

More reasons why veterans should enroll in VA health care
V
eterans need to plan ahead for a day they may need to use VA health care and other VA benefits. Those reasons include: • Private insurance, Medicare, or Tricare may go away or become unaffordable; • Mental health care may not be covered by existing insurance; • The vet may need a vaccination not be available at other sources; • The vet they may not be able to afford Medicare, Medicare supplemental insurance, or other health insurance; and • The closest major medical services may be a VA Medical Center (VAMC) or clinic. Another important reason for applying for VA health care is, the VA Medical Centers get 90% of their funding based on numbers of Vets enrolled and the complexity and frequency of their care needs. The sooner we educate vets on the fact that, they are not taking away from other vets by enrolling in VA health care, the better. Every patient seen at a VAMC is assigned to a patient classification based on
LARRY DANDRIDGE
the type and amount of care received. If veterans do not apply for their hard-earned VA health care and do not contact, by phone, zoom, or in person, their primary care physician, patients can fall below the optimal category or even fall completely out of the funding model, resulting in a significant negative financial impact to the VAMC. Veterans like me, living in the LowCountry of SC, who are also retired military and use Medicare and Tri-Care and perhaps other private insurance need to also apply for VA Health Care, get a Primary Care Physician and Social Worker assigned, and visit their Primary Care Doctor at least once every two years. This will ensure that our terrific Ralph H. Johnson (RHJ) VAMC is adequately funded and help make certain that our VAMC Center remains in the top 10% of all public and private hospitals in the USA based on
quality of care. Some of us veterans, who have other health insurance, may decide to use, if eligible, the VA for some but not all of their health care based on: • Better care being available through the VA, prescriptions are all but free, a patient can be approved to see a civilian doctor, the RHJVAMC is a flagship health care facility; • Hearing aids/eye glasses are free, transportation to and from the VAMC is free, free Fisher House lodging for families is available; • Enrolling in VA Health Care does not prevent a Vet from using other health care and other reasons. Vets seeing their VA Doctor, at least once every two years, will enable the VA to get funding for that veteran and allow our RHJVAMC to have the best equipment, facilities, staff, pharmacy, software, publications, tools, training, parking, transportation, and other capabilities. If a Vet does not see their Primary Care Doc every two years, they will be dropped from the rolls of their VAMC and the VA will assume the Veteran has moved to another

VA area of responsibility, expired, or stopped using the VA Health system ----and their VAMC will lose funding. So, the message is clear. Veterans should: • Contact the RHJVAMC Eligibility/Enrollment Office, located in room B189, 109 Bee Street, Charleston, SC 29401, phone 843-789-7008. Enter thru the main entrance to the hospital, which faces Bee Street, and the eligibility office is located near the center of the lobby. Make sure you sign in at the automated Kiosk to get a place in line and a numbered ticket. Your ticket number will be called when it is your turn to enter the Eligibility Office. It takes 48 hours after you apply for an eligibility determination to get an answer from the Eligibility Office. • When you go to the Eligibility Office, take a legible copy of your DD214 and a picture form of identification (driver’s license, SC ID card, passport, etc.). You will need to fill out a VA Enrolment Application for Health Benefits Form
10-10EZ. You can download the 10-10EZ Form at https://www. va.gov/find-forms/ about-form10-10ez/ or you can call the RHJ VA Eligibility Office at 843-789-7008 and they will send you a copy of the blank form. • You may use any of the following sources to request help in filling out the VA 10-10ez form: The RHJ VA Medical Center Eligibility Office, VA at 1-877222-VETS (8387), the VA's website at http:// www.va.gov and select "Contact the VA", or a National or State Veterans Service Organization (VSO). You can find a list of SC County Vets Service Offices at https://scdva.sc.gov/ county-veterans-affairs-offices. • Once you are determined eligible for VA health care, ask for a Primary Care Physician to be assigned to you and schedule a baseline phone, zoom, or in-person visit with him or her. Also ask who your nurse and social worker will be. • Use your health care benefits whenever you decide you need them.
EDITOR’S NOTE This is the 12th article of a series of 12 helpful articles on State of SC and Federal Veterans Benefits to be published in the Lowcountry Weekly and Island News over the next three months.
• Schedule a visit with your VA Primary care Physician at least once every two years to ensure you remain enrolled at your local VAMC.

Beyond Our Strength Saved by Grace Alone
What do Catholics believe about salvation? Along with most of our fellow Christians, Catholics believe that humanity has been separated from God by sin. In our own way, each of us has chosen to turn away from God through selfishness and pride. Spiritually, it is as if we are standing on one side of the Grand Canyon and God is on the other. It is beyond our power to take a shovel and fill in the Grand Canyon; repairing the spiritual damage separating us from God is equally beyond our strength.
How is Jesus our Savior? To save the human race from our spiritual brokenness, God chose to enter the world himself. He became man as Jesus of Nazareth. Because Jesus is fully God and fully man, he is able to heal the division between God and humanity. In the time of the Exodus, God sent Moses to free the Israelites and bring them to a Promised Land. When Jesus gave his life for us on the cross, he was a “new Moses,” breaking the bonds of sin and offering us freedom and new life.
How does separation from God affect us? God loves us and created us to be in union with him. Whether or not we recognize it, our hearts yearn for God. Separated from him by our sins, we do not experience the fullness of life that he intended for us. Sin hurts and enslaves us, as one can see in cases of addiction. We are like the people of Israel during their time in Egypt, enslaved and suffering cruelly, unable to free ourselves. This is why we needed Jesus to come into the world as our Savior.
What if Jesus had not come into the world? Without Jesus, we would have no hope of being healed from sin. Our separation from God would continue after death, for God cannot force us to love him. This state of separation is called hell. When we say that Jesus is our Savior, we mean that he forgives our sin and offers us the gift of eternal union with him one day in heaven. But as wonderful as this is, there is even more to salvation than this! What more does Jesus desire for us? As Jesus said in the Gospels, “I have come that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.” (John 10:10) In other words, he does not just want to save us from hell; he wants us to experience a fullness of life right now. He wants to transform us into adopted sons and daughters of God the Father, with hearts that gradually become more like his heart. We can have freedom from our old sins and evil habits, and have a new life. Like Paul, we can rejoice, “It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.” (Gal 2:20) Do I have to earn this gift of salvation and new life? Imagine parents looking at their newborn child: they love their child, even though there is absolutely nothing that the child has done to earn their love or the gift of life. The same applies to our relationship with God. He loves you more than the best parents ever loved their children, without any conditions, no matter what you have done in the past. You do not have to earn his love or his gift of new life: he offers it to you freely! We are saved by grace alone. (Eph 2:8-9)
