3 candidates vie for seat on Beaufort City Council Special election to be held March 2 By Mindy Lucas Who will fill an open seat on Beaufort’s City Council? That question will be answered by Beaufort voters in an upcoming special election set
for Tuesday, March 2. Three candidates – Mike McFee, Fred White and Brantley Wilson – are running for the seat, vacated by Stephen Murray when he was elected mayor in November. In that election, six candidates ran for two seats ultimately claimed by newcomers Mitch Mitchell and Neil
Lipsitz. McFee, who ran for re-election, lost by less than 1 percentage point. Only registered voters who live within city limits may participate in the municipal special election. Those wanting to vote early can do so by in-person absentee ballot, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, through March 1, at
the Beaufort County Board of Voter Registration and Elections office at 15 John Galt Road. Below is a closer look at each of the candidates. The winning candidate will be sworn in on March 9. The seat’s term will expire in December of 2022.

It was important to do, district officials say, since many children, whether there’s a pandemic on or not, rely on meals provided through the National School Lunch Program.

By Mike McCombs Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort announced Friday in a news release that the 2021 Air Show, scheduled for April 24 and 25, has been canceled. The show was canceled for the second time since 2013 in order to protect the health of service members, their families and the members of the community, according to the release. “The MCAS Beaufort Air show is a cherished event that allows the Air Station the opportunity to say thank you to our neighbors who support the men and women serving this nation. It is a difficult decision for me to cancel such a monumental event, but given the current COVID-19 environment it must be done,” MCAS Beaufort Commanding Officer Col. Karl Arbogast said in the release. Any tickets purchased for premium seating will be refunded. Just three weeks ago, The Island News reported ( https://yourislandnews. com/cleared-for-take-off/) that despite increasing numbers of COVID-19 cases in Beaufort County and across the country, Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort planned to go ahead with the air show. “MCAS Beaufort leadership takes COVID-19 seriously, and (will) meticulously implement CDC recommended guidelines and local medical experts’ recommendations to combat this virus,” read an email from Kimberly Fleming, Deputy Director, Operations, Plans, and External Affairs. “Throughout this pandemic, we have remained operational to complete our mission, as the need to defend our country is unceasing. We’ve found that COVID-19 mitigation measures are effective when strictly followed and we hope to continue our tradition of hosting our Air Show for the Beaufort community, safely,” the email stated. Fleming did make it clear, however, that the air station was also reserving the right to cancel the event, if needed.

Fort Frederick Heritage Preserve now open to the public By Mindy Lucas About 50 people gathered on a cold and foggy morning recently for a ribbon cutting and grand opening for Fort Frederick Heritage Preserve in Port Royal. The six-acre site, which includes a park and remains of a Colonial-era tabby fort, provides grand sweeping views of the Beaufort River. Built by the British in the early 1700s, the ruins are thought to be part of the oldest surviving tabby
fort in South Carolina. Though it never saw any action, the Online Extra small fort played an Watch a important role in 25-minute documentary on the early planning the history of of the defense of Fort Frederick Beaufort, considat www. ered the Southern dnr.sc.gov/ frontier of British heritage/ ftfredrick/ North America. videos.html However, its real claim to fame may arguably be for an event that happened more than
a hundred years later, during some of the most pivotal years in American history. On Jan. 1, 1863, the Union-occupied site became the setting for a New Year’s Day celebration that included a reading of the Emancipation Proclamation. Thousands poured in to attend the celebration – including many formerly enslaved African Americans, or freed men, and newly recruited soldiers

‘COVID or no COVID,’ Beaufort County School District’s free school meal program goes on
By Mindy Lucas Last spring, when S.C. Gov. Henry McMaster gave the order to close all South Carolina schools due to COVID-19, Beaufort County School District’s food service staff, without having to be asked, went in to work that very same day. It was a Sunday and normally employees don’t come in until Monday to prepare meals. But these “lunchroom ladies” as they are sometimes lovingly called,
felt compelled to make sure school children across Beaufort County would still have a meal come Monday. “They call them their babies,” said Larry Wilson, District Manager for Sodexo’s On-Site Service Solutions team, which provides food services to the district. As Wilson explains, it took a little creative thinking and a whole lot of people willing to regroup to make it happen, but the day after

Deloach, 94, is a home-grown son of Beaufort and a veteran of World War II. After graduating from Beaufort High School in 1943, he started Clemson before enlisting in the Navy in 1945 where he became an Aviation Ra-
dioman and attended Naval Air Gunnery School. He was awarded the World War II Victory Medal upon discharge in 1946, when he returned to complete an engineering degree at Clemson under the GI Bill before
coming home to Beaufort to begin his civilian career. – Compiled by John Chubb, American Legion Post 9. For nominations, contact jechubb1@gmail.com.
Beaufort Police refines its demographics reports
From staff reports The Beaufort Police Department’s monthly demographics citations report will now show two separate tables for criminal citations and traffic citations. Previously, both kinds of citations were grouped together. In addition, the monthly warnings table now shows by demographic how many traffic stops happened during the month, and how many
of those resulted in tickets. In July 2020, the Police Department began posting various monthly and yearly reports on its website (under Data & Transparency) to show its commitment to transparency. Among these is a monthly demographics report for citations, which shows the gender, race, and age range of those people issued citations in any month. The reports, beginning in Jan-
uary 2021, will now split the citations into two categories: traffic and criminal. Criminal citations can include such things as shoplifting, trespassing, simple possession of marijuana, and public intoxication. Traffic citations can include such things as speeding or causing an accident. “Putting citations into two categories gives us a better and more accurate snapshot of monthly ac-
tivity,” Police Chief Dale McDorman said. “We will continue to refine our reports to ensure that they are fair and accurate.” McDorman noted that it’s possible for one person to receive multiple citations. For example, someone who is stopped for speeding may also be given a ticket for a suspended license if the officer discovers that during the stop.

City mask ordinance extended through April 9
From staff reports At its Regular Meeting on Feb. 9, Beaufort City Council approved an extension of the City’s mask ordinance through April 9. The ordinance, to help prevent the spread of Covid-19, applies
to buildings accessible to the public in the City of Beaufort. Employees in such establishments must also wear masks. In other business, City Council approved the design plan for Whitehall Park, a 9.7acre passive park on Lady’s
Island across from downtown Beaufort. The plan, developed by Wood+Partners landscape architects, includes a picnic pavilion, a gathering lawn, a bike path, and various walking trails. The park is owned by Beau-
fort County, and will be maintained by the City of Beaufort beginning in July. It is known for its scenic vistas and majestic live oaks. The park, which is currently open, will close during construction, said Stephanie
Nagid, the passive parks manager for Beaufort County. She said construction is not likely to start until the spring of 2022. City Council also approved a plan to upgrade landscaping at Scott Street and the Cir-
cle of Palms. This will create a more walkable area and allow for a view of Beaufort River. City Council also appointed Beaufort residents Helen Spalding and Darrell Wallace to six-year terms on the Elections Commission.

from page A1 “As we draw closer, if MCAS Beaufort determines we can’t host an air show safely for attendees, staff, and performers, a decision will be made to cancel or modify the event,” the email stated. “However, given the current safety measures in place and the event being more than 90 days away, at this point in time we do not feel this is the case.”
The 2013 Air Show was canceled because of budget cuts. At the time, the Marine Corps said it made the decision hoping to lessen the chance that sequestration would impact essential programs, operational readiness and mission capabilities. The air show, which features military aircraft on display as well as aviation demonstrations by the Navy’s Blue Angels and other pilots, military and civilian, is free and usually attracts 100,000 spectators or more.

County employee honored with a sign
Beaufort County Engineering Division recently installed a sign signifying the site of a 2018 Sales Tax Project in memory of Deja Jackson, former Deputy Director of Traffic and Transportation Engineering. Jackson started with the County in May 2020 and died unexpectedly in August. Jackson grew up on St. Helena Island, attended Beaufort High School, earned her civil engineering degree at South Carolina State University, then went on to earn both her graduate and doctorate degrees at University of Florida. In her position with Beaufort County, her responsibility was to assist in leading and managing the traffic projects related to the One Cent Sales Tax Program, also known as the 2018 Beaufort County Penny Referendum. “We chose to honor Deja was because she would have been completely involved in all of the Sales Tax Projects,” Assistant County Administrator-Engineering Jared Fralix said. “She was full of energy and good ideas and the logo that she created was better than what we had received from the consultants.

Just before 1:30 p.m., Burton firefighters were called to the scene of a motor vehicle collision on Broad River Blvd. by Donaldson Camp Rd. Initial reports indicated occupants were injured and trapped. Firefighters arrived on scene to a two-vehicle collision with one female occupant trapped inside her vehicle. Fire crews worked to free the occupant, who appeared to have potentially serious injuries, while also assisting Beaufort County EMS in treating two more occupants that appeared to have non-life threatening injuries.

But as soon as the weather breaks, work toward these last minor drainage improvements will continue.

The trail is almost completely filled back in. Weather permitting, three tidal flap gates will be installed next week. Following that, the temporary coffer dam will be removed and the trail will be repaved and opened. It is anticipated that a fully functional drainage system will be activated in about two weeks – well ahead of hurricane season.
Tree trimming Dominion Energy will be working in the entire Mossy Oaks area this coming week to trim trees. This project, done every few years, helps to protect the life and safety of people and property, while preventing service outages caused by trees that come in contact with the power lines, particularly during storms.

Beaufort County owns half of the property, which includes the public access point, parking areas and picnic pavilion, though Port Royal will maintain the park. The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources owns the other half, which includes the historic tabby fort ruins. The department conducted an extensive archaeological excavation of the site in 2015, which produced pottery, arrow heads and other artifacts dating back thousands of years. County and city officials said a “Phase II” plan for the park will include a boardwalk and kayak launch.

Consider a Simple Investment Strategy to Help Reduce Guesswork • •
Additional shares when prices are low Fewer shares when prices increase
As shown in the table below, if the price is $24 per share, you’d buy 20.83 shares (keep in mind mutual funds let you purchase fractional shares). If it rises to $30, you would buy only 16.67 shares.
By Wells Fargo Advisors For most investors, the key to success is simple: Buy low and sell high. But how often have you seen this scenario played out? (You may have done it yourself.) • When the market is up, an investor feels good and buys stocks. • When the market is down, that same investor gets scared and sells. Although reacting like this may feel instinctively right at the time, buying high and selling low is unlikely to result in a profit. Why do investors do this? The reason may have a lot to do with us making investment choices the same way we do many important decisions: using both our heads and our hearts (i.e., logic and emotion). When there’s market volatility—including both market highs and market lows—our emotions tend to take over and we may make illogical choices going against our best interests. Rather than falling victim to the potential perils of emotional investing, you may want to be completely logical: get into the market when it’s down and out when it’s up. This is known as “market timing.” While this approach sounds rational, the problem is it’s extremely difficult, even for experienced investors, to do consistently. There’s an old saying: “No one rings a bell” when the market reaches the

difficult (see our previous discussion about emotional investing). However, during times like these, dollar cost averaging can be most useful by letting you purchase shares at lower prices. Because dollar cost averaging can be simultaneously more difficult and advantageous when the going gets toughest, consider turning to a professional financial advisor for help. He or she should offer a voice a reason during these periods as you grapple with whether to adhere to the strategy. Like any investment strategy, dollar cost averaging doesn’t guarantee a profit or protect against loss in a declining market. Because dollar cost averaging requires continuous investment regardless of fluctuating prices, you should consider your financial and emotional ability to continue the program through both rising and declining markets.

A Pandemic Dependency:
How to spot signs of substance addiction and how to prevent it from happening during this time
It’s no secret that at-home drinking has been on the rise since the start of the pandemic. Where once drinking alcohol may have been reserved for social nights out or family get-togethers, enjoying an alcoholic drink at home has become a regular past time for many; it costs less and there is no closing time. Coupled with boredom, stress and anxiety, it could be hard to know when to stop, and lead to a slippery slope of becoming a habit or even a necessity for some. So how much is too much? What are the signs that these pandemic habits are becoming addictions? Experts at DesertHopeTreatment.com answered seven common questions to consider when trying to identify a possible addiction. Is a drink before midday cause for alarm? What if I just prefer alcohol earlier rather than later in the day? There are many dangers associated with drinking alcohol in the morning hours. If an individual feels the compulsive need to drink in order to face the day ahead, it
could be a sign of psychological dependence on alcohol. Moreover, having a drink in the morning can gradually—but easily—build to two or three and could lead to an entire day spent drinking instead of conducting daily responsibilities. It’s also important to note that drinking excessively and over a prolonged period can increase the risk of developing both alcoholic dementia and alcoholic liver disease. Does drinking three nights in a row mean I am a heavy drinker? This may depend on the amount you are drinking in each sitting. The CDC defines heavy drinking as consuming eight drinks or more per week for women, or 15 drinks or more per week for men. Binge drinking is the most common form of heavy drinking and is defined, for women, as consuming four or more drinks on a single occasion. For men, this figure is five or more drinks on a single occasion. If you calculate a person’s drinking habits according to these figures, it can give an indication as to
whether the amount is something to be concerned about.
I work from home and have a couple of beers with my lunch… That’s the same as when I have beers with colleagues at the office, isn’t it? Having a drink at lunch does not necessarily constitute dependence or addiction but it is very possible that this affects your day-to-day responsibilities at work. Having a drink or two to ease the stress of a long might sound appealing, but it may leave you feeling tired, grumpy and restless in the hours to follow. A drink at lunch is not particularly problematic, but if your alcohol consumption during lunchtime impacts your productivity in a negative way, it could be a sign of a more concerning issue. What are the first signs of an alcohol dependency? While symptoms may vary between individuals, the first stage of an alcohol dependency is general experimentation with the substance – moderate drinking. This may familiarize drinkers with

different types of alcohol and allow them to test their limits. This experimental phase is seen quite commonly in young adults, such as college students. This is usually combined with frequent instances of binge drinking. This experimental stage is usually followed by increased consumption, such as to alleviate feelings of anxiety or stress, out of boredom, or to numb feelings of loneliness, isolation or sadness. Regular alcohol usage differs from moderate drinking in that there may be a higher emotional attachment to the habit or behavior of drinking. As this stage continues, the person may become more dependent emotionally on alcohol, therefore, may be at higher risk of developing a dependency. If I am craving an alcoholic drink, how do I know if it’s an addiction or whether it’s out of boredom? If you take notice of patterns in your drinking habits and your state of mind when reaching for an alcoholic drink, you may be able to determine this more effectively. However, if you find yourself attaching an emotional value to your drinking – such as to alleviate feelings of stress – it could indicate a more severe problem.
I find myself smoking a joint each night to help me sleep. It’s a natural substance and therefore it should be fine? "Marijuana being a natural substance does not preclude it from risk,” says Lynnette Mitchell, interim director of nursing at Laguna Treatment Hospital. “Though visible signs of marijuana use are not as apparent as visible signs of alcohol use, the substance still alters the mind, impacts the functioning of the prefrontal cortex, impairs logic and can result in more serious health issues. Research has shown a clear link between adolescent marijuana use and an increased risk for an aggressive form of testicular cancer that primar-
ily affects young men. Marijuana may be natural, but it is not innocuous.” If I only drink wine & beer at home, and leave out the hard stuff, would that make less vulnerable to addiction? No. Alcohol dependency does not have to do with the kind of liquor consumed, it’s more to do with the excessive amount and frequency, as well as the effects of this on the individual’s everyday life. Therefore, it doesn’t matter whether you drink wine, beer, vodka, rum or whisky—if it is done in excess, it could lead to an addiction issue. For additional information, visit DesertHopeTreatment.com

The future is now: USC Beaufort goes high tech for history
By Carol Weir Students and faculty from the University of South Carolina Beaufort are using new digital technologies to tell the stories of African Americans in Beaufort County during the Reconstruction era. The university is employing new, interactive technologies including artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality, gaming and 360-degree photography to dynamically present Robert Smalls, Harriett Tubman, the Penn Center and other historical figures, places and events in the Lowcountry. “My students are working on real digital projects currently in development at USCB that will be for the public,” said Brent Morris, PhD., who teaches digital history and is director of the USCB Institute for the Study of the Reconstruction Era. “If you can harness technology that is second nature for students who were born into a digital world, that’s how you get people’s attention.” Morris said interactive study and presentation of the past is popular with young people because it’s more dynamic than reading history books. And students enjoy working on projects that will be used by the community. This summer, a group of K-12 teachers from around the country will put on virtual reality headsets to interact with tours of Beaufort County historic sites built by Morris’ students. The summer institute for teachers is usually held

(left to right) Brian Canada, chair of USCB’s Department of Computer Science; Brent Morris, director of the USCB Institute for the Study of the Reconstruction Era; and Ahmad Ward, executive director of Historic Mitchelville Freedom Park, are working to develop an augmented reality (AR) tour of the first self-governed town of formerly enslaved people in the U.S. in-person, but will be virtual this year due to COVID-19. As part of the grant from National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) that funds the program, each teacher will receive a virtual reality headset by mail and the group will be able gather daily in a virtual meeting room. Using a 360-degree camera to take photos is one of the first steps in building the virtual reality tours. Liz Erickson, a USCB sophomore majoring in history, swung one around recently on the university’s campus to learn how it works.
The software that comes with the camera stitches together multiple photos or videos captured by separate lenses, and the selfie stick disappears when the images are merged. “I’m really excited,” said Erickson, who graduated from Hilton Head Island High School. “You’re seeing it through a screen but it looks so realistic.” Digital technologies make Beaufort County’s rich history accessible for more people, said Tucker Perry, a senior from Summerville who is majoring in history.
“I’m from South Carolina, but we didn’t learn this in high school,” he said. For their virtual tour projects, students can choose to spotlight one of the many sites in Northern Beaufort County’s new Reconstruction Era National Historic Park, a component of the National Park System. These sites include the Emancipation Oak, where freed slaves witnessed the first reading of the Emancipation Proclamation; Camp Saxton, where African-American volunteers trained for service in the Union army; and
Darrah Hall at Penn Center, among others. And it’s not just students who are using futuristic techniques to highlight local history. Faculty from USCB and Florida Atlantic University are creating a sophisticated augmented reality (AR) tour application that will immerse site visitors in the Lowcountry’s rich history and culture. By creating a 3D simulation of Mitchelville, they will bring to life the story of the first self-governed town of formerly enslaved people in the U.S. The 3D simulation of the town of Mitchelville was created in the Unity game engine, said Brian Canada, chair of USCB’s Department of Computer Science, who is working on this project. Tourists will be able to literally follow in the footsteps of figures from history, pick up and examine virtual 3D artifacts, and
interact with historical personalities including General Mitchel and a fictitious Mitchelville resident — to be played by world-renowned Gullah singer and educator Dr. Marlena Smalls. The augmented reality tour will feature Gullah-Geechee storytelling and dance performances to make the experience engaging for visitors to Historic Mitchelville Freedom Park, located on Beach City Road on Hilton Head Island. The non-profit’s executive director, Ahmad Ward, is excited about the collaboration and the potential for virtual reality self- or docent-guided tours at the park. “The goal is to present Reconstruction history as both educational and entertaining for visitors, while digitally preserving its cultural assets for future generations,” he said.
Riverview students celebrate STORIES FROM THE PAST 100th day of school From staff reports In a school year like no other, sometimes the little things help – little things like elementary students at Riverview Charter School celebrating the 100th day of school Feb. 10 by dressing up like 100-year-old people and creating counting displays for the school’s common area. “Every year, in many schools across the country, teachers help our young students celebrate the milestone of the 100th day of school by asking them to dress up as old people and by doing projects that involve counting to 100 and so on,” said Sarah Cox, interim director at Riverview and a longtime teacher. “It’s a break from routine, although this whole school year has been a break in our regular routine,” she said, reflecting on the changes forced by the COVID-19 sickness. To celebrate the 100th day at Riverview, first graders were invited to dress up as older versions of themselves. Kindergarten students created art projects using 100

The displays were posted to the elementary commons area at Riverview for socially-distanced viewing. “We are so glad to have most of our students back in the building now for face-to-face instruction and so they could celebrate the 100th day,” said Erica Freeman, the school’s testing coordinator and inter-
im curriculum leader. Riverview Charter School serves more than 700 students in grades K-8. As a charter school, Riverview accepts students from across Beaufort County and the school is free. Riverview regularly earns among the highest school ratings in Beaufort County on the annual State Report Cards, reflecting high academic achievement.

SPORTS & OUTDOORS SIGNING DAY
Three BHS standouts sign to compete at collegiate level
By Gabriel Jenkins LowcoSports.com Three Beaufort High School student-athletes signed National Letters of Intent last week to begin their transition to college student-athletes. The ceremonies started with Terence Wilson signing to play football at Newberry College, while cross country and track star Marlon Belden
signed to run at Georgetown University, and Rhogue Wallace signed to play baseball at Spartanburg Methodist College. Wilson started on the Eagles’ varsity squad since his sophomore year, battling it out in the trenches. He started his career as an offensive guard, then transitioned to offensive tackle his senior season.
He was a three-time All-Region and emerged as the leader of the offensive line this season, becoming a force throughout this year and leading a powerful Beaufort rushing attack. Wilson plans to pursue a degree in criminal justice at Newberry College while continuing his career. The speed demon for the Eagles long distance and
cross country team Marlon Belden chose to sign to the prestigious Georgetown University. Earlier in his high school career, Belden set numerous records and continually improved his standing among the state’s top runners on both the cross country course and the track. He currently holds Beaufort High School’s 1600 meter record. His coaches said they
have been waiting for this moment since they started coaching Belden as a promising young distance runner. He plans to major in psychology with a pre-med emphasis. The final signing was Wallace, a dual sport athlete who chose to continue his career on the diamond. Eagles football coach Bryce Lybrand mentioned that Wallace would often travel to week-
end baseball tournaments after standing out as a H-back on Friday nights, a sign of his true dedication. On the baseball team, he is a rock behind the plate who contributes to coach Keith Riley’s squad in numerous ways. He is following in his older brother Rome’s footsteps by continuing his career at Spartanburg Methodist College.
WB stars Rhode, Reeves headed to the next level
By Justin Jarrett and Carus Epps LowcoSports.com For a Class 1A program, Whale Branch Early College High School churns out far more than its fair share of college football players. Add two more to the list. Rock-solid center Aaron Rhode signed Tuesday to play at North Greenville University next season, while multi-sport star Jaylen Reeves signed to continue his education and football career at Bluefield State College.
Rhode was the anchor of a dominant offensive line that paved the way for the Warriors to roll up over 2,000 rushing yards in nine games this season, including the first undefeated regular season in program history. A four-year starter for the Warriors, Rhode was a slamdunk pick for the first team offensive line on the 2020 All-Lowco Football Team presented by Local Pie after piling up 28 pancakes as a senior. “All the years I’ve played
football and all the experiences I’ve been through, this has probably been the best four years of my life,” said Rhode, who plans to major in cybersecurity. “So many teammates and friends who pushed me to my limits. I’m grateful to be here and be a part of Warrior Nation.” Reeves was LowcoSports’ first-ever recipient of the Iron Lowco Award as part of the All-Lowco squad, a new honor designed to recognize the area’s best three-way standout. Reeves certainly fit the
mold — and helped inspire the new award — as a dynamic run-first quarterback, lockdown defensive back, and game-changing return man. He also starred at point guard for the Warriors’ basketball team, helping Whale Branch reach the state finals as a junior. When the Warriors needed a play this season, Reeves delivered — on the ground (607 yards, 13 TDs), through the air (167 yards, 4 TDs), and on defense (20 tackles, 4 INTs, 6 PBUs, 1 forced fumble, 1 re-
covery). He didn’t get many offers during the recruiting process, likely held back by playing at a small school and his diminutive frame, but he has the raw skills and work ethic to develop into any one of numerous possible roles at Bluefield State, an HBCU in West Virginia that is relaunching its NCAA Division II football program that has been dormant since 1980. “I really just took it dayby-day and tried to still work hard and make sure my teammates were good,” said
Reeves, who plans to major in criminal justice. “I knew sooner or later a school would call me and come my way.” Like former Whale Branch standouts Dee Delaney (The Citadel/Miami) and Nyles Pinckney (Clemson/Minnesota) before him, Reeves wants to pass along advice to the players who will come behind him. “Just keep going and never give up,” Reeves said. “Never let anybody tell you you’re too small to play football anywhere.”
Wiseman, Trojans too much for Eagles in region semis
By Trace Lowther LowcoSports.com Beaufort High’s boys couldn’t keep pace with James Island on the road in the semifinals of the Region 7-4A tournament Monday night, falling 79-63 to the Trojans. Beaufort junior James Dennison poured in 22 points, including 17 in the first half, but the Eagles didn’t have an answer James Island’s Bailey Wiseman. Wiseman could not be stopped early on, racking up 12 points in the first, in-
cluding four shots from deep to give the Trojans a 26-19 lead after one. Dennison started the game nicely with 11 points in the first quarter, including three 3-pointer, and his success continued into the second, but a collective offensive effort from James Island gave the Trojans a 46-34 halftime lead. Beaufort’s defensive struggles continued in the second half, allowing 20 points in the third quarter, including Wiseman’s fifth 3-pointer of the
contest. The Eagles outscored the Trojans in the fourth quarter but were unable to claw back from the 18 point deficit. BHS advanced to the semifinals with an impressive 6647 home win over Bluffton in the first round Friday, using a huge second quarter to run away. Daniel Phares racked up 20 points and nine rebounds to help ensure the Eagles extended his career by at least one more game, while Zyrin Odom posted a double-dou-
ble with 11 points and 10 boards to lead an outstanding all-around effort from Beaufort. Michael Dennison added 12 points and and six rebounds, and James Dennison had 10 points and eight boards. Beaufort High (8-5) will have to wait and see if it can sneak into the playoffs with an at-large bid. James Island will take on Lowco powerhouse Hilton Head High for the Region 7-4A championship Thursday. The Seahawks swept the
season series en route to an undefeated regular-season record.

Sharks slow down Eagles again, earn third shot at Bobcats

By Justin Jarrett LowcoSports.com May River’s swarming Sharks were determined to prove Monday night that their defensive effort in last week’s win over Beaufort High was no fluke. And freshman Morgan Scott continues to prove she’s the real deal. The Sharks again limited the damage done by Eagles star Layla Warren, and Scott poured in 18 points in a dominant performance in the post, propelling May River to a 3630 victory and a rematch with rival Bluffton in the Region 7-4A tournament championship at 6 p.m. Wednesday in the Bobcat Den. Warren got a shot in early with an and-one, but Ki’Ayisa Moultrie’s 3-pointer was the Eagles’ only other field goal in a first quarter that ended with

Photo by Bob Sofaly. a 7-6 May River advantage. After the teams combined for only four field goals in the first quarter, they managed just five in the second, but Char-
lotte Van Den Heuvel got to the line and knocked down four free throws in the period to help the Sharks extend the lead to 18-10 at halftime. Scott took over in the second half, showing off her post moves and her power to fight through double teams and either finish or get to the foul line. She scored seven points in the third quarter as the lead ballooned to 29-18, then scored five more in the fourth to help hold off Warren and the Eagles. Warren scored five points in the fourth, including her only triple of the night, but it was too late for the Eagles to close the gap. After holding the senior star to seven points last week, the Sharks limited her to 10 on Wednesday — nearly 10 full points below her season average. She scored
28 in the intervening game against Colleton County, and her previous season-low was 13. Sophomore point guard Macey Dowe was the primary catalyst in shutting down Warren and has run the offense effectively since taking on a larger role due to Ari Bevan’s injury. Dowe didn’t score Monday, but she was instrumental to the Sharks earning a third shot at the Bobcats. The Eagles started the tournament with a 55-42 win over visiting Colleton County in the first round Friday. Warren bounced back from her lowest-scoring output of the season to put up 28 points, six rebounds, and eight steals in a monster effort for the Eagles, who now await their fate as an at-large playoff candidate.
Seven JPII wrestlers place, 3 runners-up at SCISA state tourney
By Justin Jarrett LowcoSports.com John Paul II took nine wrestlers to the SCISA individual state tournament on Saturday in Sumter, and the Golden
Warriors returned with seven medals — including a trio of runner-up finishes. Jack Brock (132 pounds), Jonathan Field (152), and Tripp Currier (220) all advanced
to the finals before falling in their title bouts to claim state runner-up status among South Carolina’s private schools. Steven Schidrich (120), Oliver Witkowski (126), Angel Pe-
rez (145), and Kohl Woodham (182) also medaled, finishing fourth in their weight classes. Field finishes his career with three runner-up finishes in 2018, 2020, and 2021. He
missed the state tournament as a sophomore due to injury. Woodham is a three-time placer, also finishing fourth in 2019 and 2020, and Schidrich also placed fourth in 2018.
The seven state placers are the second-most in program history for JPII, surpassed only by the eight Golden Warriors who finished in the top four in 2018.
SC seeks nominations for Environmental Awareness Award
From staff reports The state of South Carolina is seeking nominations for an award to recognize individuals who are doing extraordinary work for the natural environment. Nominations for the 2020 S.C. Environmental Awareness Award will be accepted through March 31. The South Carolina General Assembly established the award in 1992 to recognize outstanding contributions

FEBRUARY 18–24, 2021
made toward the protection, conservation and improvement of South Carolina’s natural resources. Each year the public is invited to submit nominations that are then reviewed by an awards committee that includes representatives from the state’s natural resource agencies. In judging nominees, the committee considers excellence in innovation and leadership, as well as
accomplishments that influence positive changes affecting the natural environment. Members of the awards committee represent the S.C Forestry Commission, S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control, S. C. Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR), and the S.C. Sea Grant Consortium. The nomination guidelines, nomination form, and a list of previous award win-
ners are available on the SCDNR website:[https:// www.dnr.sc.gov/admin/foia/ environawad.html] or by call-
ing Bill Marshall with SCDNR at 803-331-2608. Last year’s winner of the S.C. Environmental Awareness Award was Dr. Gloria Sanders McCutcheon, Chair and Professor of Biology at Claflin University and Emerita Professor at Clemson University. As a scientist, author, teacher and community worker, McCutcheon has been recognized as a trail-
blazer in the protection of natural resources and public health. Her research and work as an entomologist has advanced the practices of integrated pest management and sustainable agriculture. McCutcheon is also recognized for her mentoring of students in science and directing many graduates who are now making contributions to sustainable agriculture around the world.

Football with its primitive appeal and serious risk provides opportunity
t is Sunday and it is overcast, cold, a good day to be indoors. Fortunately it is Super Bowl Sunday and most of America is already indoors getting themselves ready for an early evening kickoff. I will be watching but have no allegiance to Kansas City or the Tampa/St Petersburg Metropolitan Area. Yes, I once had a youthful flirtation with Hav-A-Tampa cigars but that quickly gave way to Swisher Sweets. To make matters worse, I went to a college that rarely won a football game; coming into manhood connecting football with disappointment and shame. I dealt with this pain by avoiding football, especially televised football, knowing full well that I was painting myself into a cultural and conversational Siberia. At one point, my wife and I ditched television entirely. We decided that it was mostly a wasteland. During this estrangement we took self-righteous satisfaction with our decision, openly contemptuous of our friends
SCOTT GRABER
who were still hooked-up to the cable. “No, Daphne, we won’t be watching this weekend.” “You won’t be watching the Kentucky Derby. Why not?” “We don’t own a television,” we would say effectively, efficiently ending the conversation. And so for many years we remained estranged from “Homer Simpson,” “Real Housewives of New Jersey” and from what I call the “Assisted Living Channel” — PBS. But then our son, Zachary, got work with NBC Sports — Sunday Night Football to be precise. We realized that should we want to talk to him about his work — work involving computer assisted graphics that explain the
not-so-obvious nuance associated with the game — we would have to reconnect with our cable provider. We would have to depart our quiet, Pinot-enhanced Sunday evening meals for Al Michaels and Chris Collingsworth. We would have to sit down and watch grown men, in some place like Buffalo, slam into each other for two hours. More distressing than this, we would have to listen to pregame and postgame analysis by six large, balding men speaking a language we did not know. And lets not even mention the commercials — mostly the sale of mega trucks bouncing up a mountain or splashing through mud bogs. But, what the hell, this is all part of parenthood and perhaps it would be less painful if we sampled the burritos, fried wings and the bottomless breadsticks baskets that were advertised as an essential supplement to the game itself. It seemed important to embrace the whole experience. And so we found ourselves
... it is also true that tackle football is where one finds a “level playing field” as it relates black and white athletes — athletes fighting for a first down; celebrating a victory; or shaking hands after a loss.” watching televised football. At first our interest was tepid, my wife occasionally commenting on the bodies of the athletes. I will say — in her defense — she is an artist, and the male torso is well within her professional portfolio. I, myself, first focused on the effort of one team to anticipate the offensive movement, or the defensive posture, of the other team. There seemed to be a lot of coaches and heavy, headset-accessorized assistants trying to out-think each other. And yes, there was the inescapable, undeniable
thrill when a tailback ran into a huge scrum of flesh and then, as if by magic, emerged from the other side pin-balling his way into the end zone. And yes, there was the acrobatic pass-catching part that seemed like something out of Cirque du Soleil. Huge men running downfield at full tilt, then turning, somehow grabbing hold of a football moments before being flattened by a man the size of a Volkswagen. And yes, this hitting, sacking and tackling part that seems to feed a more primitive appetite that, for most of the week, is hidden
or at least camouflaged. But it is this contact, this physicality that gives football its appeal — especially among men. And that is why tackle football remains the most popular high school sport with more than a million athletes. There is no question that knee and head injuries are a concern. This may account for the 9 percent drop in (high school) participation. But it is also true that tackle football is where one finds a “level playing field” as it relates black and white athletes — athletes fighting for a first down; celebrating a victory; or shaking hands after a loss. This game has done as much for racial harmony as affirmative action. In the end, this is a game that comes with risk, serious risk, but also presents opportunity. One can choose to play — assume that risk — and sometimes succeed beyond calculation. Scott Graber is a lawyer, novelist, veteran columnist and longtime resident of Port Royal.

Faith & Love How Are We Saved?
How does one receive the gift of salvation? At the end of his first sermon in Acts, the Jewish crowds asked Peter what they should do. He answered, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins.” (Acts 2:37-38) This is still the same answer Catholics would give a crowd of questioners today. We need to turn away from sin and acknowledge our need for Jesus, and gratefully ask him to cleanse us of sin and give us new life through Baptism.
Why would Baptism be important? At Baptism, we share in the Lord’s death and Resurrection, and are washed clean from sin and given a new life. (Rom 6:4) Jesus was referring to Baptism when he spoke of the need to be “born again by water and the Spirit.” (John 3:5) He himself said, “He who believes and is baptized will be saved.” (Mark 16:16) This understanding of Baptism is clearly evident in Acts and has been practiced since the earliest centuries of Christianity.
What does Paul mean when he writes of works? In Paul’s letters, when he refers to works, he is not speaking of Baptism. He is referring to circumcision and other works of the Jewish law, such as observing the dietary laws. He is clarifying that such actions are not required for Christians, and they do not bring about new life in Christ. What is the Catholic understanding? After explaining again that circumcision does not have value for Christians, Paul wrote, “The only thing that counts is faith working through love.” (Gal 5:6) This is a great summary of Catholic belief: one must have faith that is expressed through acts of love. This is what the apostle James meant when he wrote that we are not saved by faith alone. (James 2:24-26) In other words, to have the abundant life which God desires for us, we must have faith in Jesus and also remain united with him in love. This, too, is the understanding embraced by Christians throughout all of Christian history.
Why do we need Baptism if we are saved by grace alone? We are saved by grace alone, by the freely offered and undeserved gift of God. God can give his gifts in any manner he chooses, and he has chosen to offer us these spiritual gifts through Baptism. As an example, say a friend comes to your front door with a present. You have done nothing to “earn” the gift; you can only benefit from the gift by opening the door and accepting it. When we repent and have faith in Jesus, we open the door of our hearts, and when we allow ourselves to be baptized, we allow God to place his gift into our arms. Doesn’t Paul say that we are saved by faith, not works? In Ephesians 2:8-9, Paul writes, “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.” To this, Catholics say, “Amen!” We cannot earn our salvation by doing good deeds. It is through faith that we are moved to request God’s gift of new life in Baptism, freely given by God and completely undeserved.
